President-elect Donald J. Trump is expected to sign as many as 100 executive orders within hours of taking office Monday afternoon, a flurry of activity that will begin near where he is set to be sworn in at the Capitol. The orders are set to address a broad swath of American life, touching on immigration, climate and energy policy, and diversity initiatives in the federal government.
Among the orders he is expected to sign, according to incoming White House officials, are a national emergency declaration at the border, allowing the deployment of troops, and a natural energy emergency, enabling the country to generate more energy to power artificial intelligence. Mr. Trump is also expected to sign orders designating cartel organizations as “global terrorists” and ending asylum and birthright citizenship, despite the Constitution’s guarantee of citizenship for those born in the United States.
See, DJT ain't gonna let that pesky US Constitution get in the way of what needs to be done. The authoritarian kleptocrat shitstorm starts today. DJT and his Project 2025 are dead serious and acting urgently to get set up.
The MAGA poopstorm is here

President Biden on Monday morning, just hours before President-elect Trump’s inauguration, granted pardons to Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and other members of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Biden said he was doing so to protect the public servants, who have all faced attacks from the man about to replace Biden in the White House.
Biden issued pardons for Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who led the nation’s COVID-19 pandemic response, and Milley, the former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Biden pardons people for upholding the law.
By contrast, DJT pardons criminals and lawbreakers. That's authoritarianism

President-elect Trump told NBC it was disgraceful President Biden issued pardons to Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), and other members of the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. “It is disgraceful. Many are guilty of MAJOR CRIMES! DJT” Trump texted NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker.
Again, blatant authoritarianism.
