Shit's about to pop off, but we don't know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

Edit: Official link for orders: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/

"RESTORING THE DEATH PENALTY AND PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-the-death-penalty-and-protecting-public-safety/

This includes pursuing death penalties for anyone who kills a cop "regardless of other factors" and for any "illegal aliens" who commit a capital offense.

It also includes this terrible bit: "The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose."

Where they will punish people who were commuted by Biden by ensuring that if they can't give them the death penalty they can give them a life of torture.

Ah yes, the "in for a penny, in for a pound" law skeleton-guns-akimbo

[-] darkcalling@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

They're going to let the feds harass Leonard Peltier in his house arrest and make his life as close to the misery of actual prison as they can.

This is why Biden is fucking pathetic for commuting instead of pardoning him and others.

[-] Lemister@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

It was a fake brownie point for libs. All this last acts (like the Cuba one) are done to be easily reversable and to make Biden "look good".

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

This could also outright mean that Peltier remains in prison.

"ENDING THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-the-weaponization-of-the-federal-government/

This one is where every federal department gets audited for any actions they may have taken against Republicans or their friends over the past four years. This one is written so non-threateningly, but is open-ended enough to be used as a purge of pretty much every department of the fed, with threats of non-compliance to " be referred to the Attorney General."

"RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-freedom-of-speech-and-ending-federal-censorship/

This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."

The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.

fukken wild that the Dems only prosecuted one of his many very obvious crimes, and gave him literally zero punishment for it, and Trump still wants to purge them over it.

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

It's like he doesnt even understand kayfabe, the Dems weren't really trying to destroy him, they were just playing the heel for a bit. The trial probably helped him more than it hurt him, but he's still too egomaniacal to let it go.

Apropos of nothing:
