What is really funny is that President Trump is the least autocratic/dictatorial President that we've had in a long time. Well, at least far less so than his immediate predecessor ("I've got a pen and a phone...") And the Left is doing its damnedest to resist him and maintain autocratic institutions in the District of Calamity while President Trump attempts to take them down.

CPT Jack Durish - 1. Yes, Muller answers to Whitaker.
2. This crap about Obama using so many executive orders is just that, crap. He used less than the conservative messiah Reagan:
Ronald Reagan 381
George H. W. Bush 166
Bill Clinton 308
George W. Bush 291
Barack Obama 276
3. The media ahs always been politically biased. It is in business to make money, not be some Holy messenger.

MSG Stan Hutchison - The question is not the quantity of the executive orders but the "quality" of the executive orders, and whether they contribute to an "imperial" Presidency.

Maj John Bell - Well since many of Trump's EOs were nothing more than catering to his base by countermanding some of Obamas EOs and legislation, I don't give them much "quality."

MSG Stan Hutchison - I cannot remember where I read it, but I distinctly remember in the past, even before Trump's candidacy that a better measure of a President's "authoritarian vs constitutional" leadership was their record on cases before the Supreme Court. However the same historian was quick to say that it was a dubious analysis until after the persons Presidency was complete.
The following link has some discussion, but doesn't extend into the Trump period.

Obama Lost Supreme Court More Than Any Modern President
The Obama administration has lost most of its lawsuits that wound up in the U.S. Supreme Court. That’s far short of the modern presidential record.

When their ideas are proven to be merit-less, it tends to create hostile feelings of inadequacy, then they get louder and more radical. A vicious cycle of circular arguments, name calling, and "gotchas". So, go ahead and have the last word, and thump your chest while having it. It has the same merit as the 1st, none

The "left" is not consumed with hate, anymore than the "right." There are some extremist on each side that espouse hatred and violence, but that is a small minority.
