With just hours to go before his swearing-in, Joe Biden and his team have already started Wednesday with a blitz of announcements for Executive Orders that will be issued immediately.
Following at least a week's worth of media leaks teasing all the Biden "Day One" action items (Rejoin the Paris Accords, Keystone Pipeline, Halt the departure from the WTO, But mostly the massive immigration package that could create paths to citizenship for millions of illegal migrants), Biden is moving ahead with no fewer than 17 executive actions targeting Trump's various policies.
CNN reports there will be a total of 17 executive actions, at least 15 of those will be executive orders targeting a range of issues, while Biden pushes his immigration package and a raft of immigration legislation. Of these 17 actions, 9 will involve reversals of Trump-era policies.
And after holding a COVID victim's memorial event on Tuesday evening, timed to maximally undermine Trump, who was at a private farewell ceremony at Joint Base Andrews
The FT reports that the barrage of orders also includes a "100-day masking challenge" to promote the wearing of face masks across the US, with a guest appearance by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will (shocker of the century) serve as the media face of the challenge.
As expected, Biden will also roll back the Trump travel ban on citizens of certain Muslim -majority countries introduced at the very beginning of the Trump Administration, which survived a bitter court battle that infamously occupied plenty of headline space during the first half of 2017. It also sent protesters rushing to airports around the country as some travelers were caught up in the chaos.
"It was rooted in xenophobia and religious animus and president-elect Biden has been clear that we will not turn our back on our values with discriminatory bans on entry to the United States," Jake Sullivan, Biden's pick for national security adviser, said of the Muslim ban recently during a briefing.
Biden will sign the EOs and other memoranda in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon, his incoming press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters.
Psaki confirmed that, as we have previously reported, Biden plans to accompany his slate of EOs with a comprehensive immigration package that will be sent to Congress straightaway, where it will need to be passed by the (Democrat-controlled) House and Senate.
We have also noted previously that the day one orders will be part of a "10-day blitz" of orders, upon which we have previously reported, they will target the "four overlapping and compounding crises": COVID-19, the economy, climate change and racial inequality.
"In his first 10 days in office, President-elect Biden will take decisive action to address these four crises, prevent other urgent and irreversible harms, and restore America’s place in the world," Klain wrote at the time.
Other '10-day blitz' items include presidential directives on safely reopening schools and businesses, after Democrats spent much of last year insisting they remain closed.

His 100 day mask challenge.
SPECIFICALLY that 100 day mask challenge.
I said months ago if Biden wins, that the coronavirus bullshit was going to go away and here is how they will play it.
100 day mask challenge. You’ll see nothing change for 100 days, and he will be applauded for instituting his mask mandate for 100 days, and that will in effect cure the corona virus. Notice how they have that cow’s cunt Fauci leading the charge.
After that, they’ll say that we’ve beaten the curve, and that corona will no longe be a threat and people can go back to the way their lives used to be.
For those of us who don’t mask up, we’ll be of course shamed, and or harassed because we’re not part of the herd, even though some of us see through this shit after having grown up with sociopathic manipulative liars for parents.
Just wait. 100 days from now, which ought to be what, MAY DAY? They’ll declare all this nonsense beaten and of course pat themselves on the back, congratulate themselves and paint Donald Trump as inept.
MARK MY WORDS. SAVE THIS POST.

And he's consistent. There's not one thing on that list that will be good for the country. Not one.
Cancelling Keystone XL was pure genius. I missed $4 gasoline.

Only I want more. I want food prices and unemployment to double too. Or even better to triple. By increasing government spending and greatly decreasing the amount of taxes, that will lead to hyperinflation with millions dying of starvation and tens of millions, hungry, and homeless. That is what it will take to overturn our tyrannical government. Anything less and the public will just grab their ankles, bend over and take it.

I feel sorry for you. In America we have facilities that can help people like you.

When driving big trucks we would sometimes mess with certain women on CB radio. We would tell them, "Bend over and back up." LOL

That's out there where the busses don't run, DW. It also seem like three trips around the barn to get to the house.
The noob has a point.

A place like that was named St. Elizabeth's Hospital. This is where Ezra Pound was locked up for making radio broadcasts for the Italian Fascists back in the 30s and 40s.
Pound railed against the money power, i.e. Federal Reserve, and that of course, made him persona non grata in the U.S. ;)

You are partly right. The government has prisons for truth-tellers like me.

It may appear to be excessive but I am not certain anything less would change most American's mindset from believing that big government is necessary, that our government is the best, that the people are the masters, that their vote matters, and that they are free.

This happened on my watch. I guess my BIG PLAN of whining about it on 4um for 20-some years didn't turn out so well.
For the last year or so, the best I could come up with was financing some of the truth tellers on the internet. Seems about half or more of them have folded.
