He did...

And as soon as Biden came I to office, he froze what trump had done, and then after a couple years out it back I to effect.

Like, that's a real thing that happened. And it's concerning people apparently forgot.

In the first few days of his 2021 term, U.S. President Joe Biden was quick to issue nearly a dozen executive orders aimed at reversing many of the policies of former President Donald Trump, from rejoining the World Health Organization to recommitting the U.S. to the Paris climate accord. And, as the 46th president took pen to paper, he required that all federal rules pending review that were submitted under the previous administration be frozen for at 60 days — among them, one aimed at reducing the cost of insulin and EpiPens.

Why would it be concerning? He replaced an executive order with actual law.

givesomefucks doesn't give a fuck about facts.

Why you keep lyin bro

Lying about what?

trump did it, at the same $35/month limit

Biden stopped trumps executive order, and years later codified it

So what was the point of the pause? Why didn't Biden keep the executive order till it was codified?

I have no idea why people keep saying I lied.

Self-awareness is something you have to work at. I would suggest you start now, before it's too late.

So. You can't say how I lied either?

You just heard something you don't like, and it's a lie, but you can't explain how...

May I ask how much of your news comes from CNN?

And if you were aware that it's been years since the new buyers publicly said their goal was to create emotional and uninformed habitual viewers like Faux News has?

I got this theory, but I need some data. And don't just want to make assumptions.

20 hours a week? Or do you just leave it on throughtout the day already?
