On cue, CNN and Politico insisted that yesterday, February 15th, was the real first day of the Biden regime. The claim is made as a result of Congress’ decision to waste a month (and millions of dollars) trying to impeach and remove President Trump (again).
But the claim appears to be designed to cover for the extreme government by executive fiat – that is to say, without the legislative branch – that the Biden administration has embarked upon.
Joe Biden has signed a whopping 56 executive actions in under one month, dwarfing efforts made by his predecessors, and contravening his own claims that someone who governs in that manner is “a dictator.”
