I enjoyed that video clip of President Snuffy signing EO's and muttering, "I don't even know what I'm signing."

If Biden were a true Manchurian Candidate - owned by China, and tasked with doing everything he could to harm the USA once he assumed office . . .

What would he be doing differently from what he's been doing so far?

His handler told him to “salute the Marines” and instead of doing so he walked by them mumbling “salute the Marines”

Of course the fact checkers are going “he said good looking Marines”

Some good points regarding why we should worry about the climate EOs. With my tinfoil on (or maybe off), I will say, "The great reset".

https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/01/27/control-over-you-is-their-highest-priority-heres-a-great-thread-on-why-chuck-schumers-legislative-priority-is-climate/

I've only seen talk from the right, but there is chatter that he will execute one climate EO as "a national emergency". I'm unsure how serious that would be or what actual emergency powers an EO can initiate. It would certainly make it easier to control a lot more than climate though, in the name of controlling climate.

If that were true, he would have sniffed them.

I am confused by this whole narrative.

He was walking into the capital, before the inauguration, so he was a private citizen.  Why would he salute the marines?  The Marines in the video are holding the door, and NOT saluting Biden, as is correct* because he wasn't the CinC at the time.  So no salutes were needed, or exchanged, so why do people think he was muttering about salutes?

I think we can do better with our conspiracy theories.

*In the video you can hear an "Order Arms" command being given, but you can see the door holder marines at the command of execution, and it clearly wasn't being given to them, as they were not saluting.

Well, today 46 is signing an EO to increase my health insurance again. What will they call whatever plan is worse than the crappy bronze plan but costs 1000% more for me, to give super duper iridium coverage for free to people who don't want to work?

But does the person or protocol droid talking in his earpiece know that?

Not that I'd heard.  I'm guessing there'd be other, much more discreet, methods of piping hints to Joe.   Bone conduction?  Or "that's a hearing aide, like Ronald Reagan had."
