Valin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 CNN Rails Against Trump’s Obamacare OrderJohn HinderakerJanuary 21, 2017President Trump’s first executive order, other than appointments, related to Obamacare. It directed agencies to interpret Obamacare regulations so as to impose as little financial burden as possible. CNN explained: Within hours of taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump on Friday night signed an executive order aimed at trying to fulfill one of his most impassioned campaign promises: Rolling back Obamacare.***Republicans have been railing against the health care law for years… “Railing against” is code. Republicans “rail,” Democrats don’t. To “rail” means “to revile or scold in harsh, insolent, or abusive language.” …using “repeal and replace Obamacare” as a political rallying cry to gin up support within the GOP base. [Emphasis added.] Seriously? The Oxford English Dictionary defines “gin something up”:(Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Trump's Big Move On Dakota Access Pipeline Richard Epstein , December 6, 2016 outside Cannon Ball, His executive actions pave the way for the prompt completion of a much needed project On January 24, 2017, President Donald J. Trump issued a Presidential Memorandum (PM) regarding construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline to the Secretary of the Army detailing the future procedures that should be adopted to expedite the approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). A PM has somewhat less authority than the better known, and more general, Executive Order, but has the same force of law for the individual projects that it governs. The Dakota Access PM was issued at the same time as several related PM’s. One of these authorized the Secretaries of State, the Army and the Interior to expedite the completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline: a separate Executive Order called for the expedition of environmental approval of high priority infrastructure projects, and an associated PM dealt generally with the construction of American Pipelines. http://www.forbes.com/sites/richardepstein/2017/01/26/trumps-big-move-on-dakota-access-pipeline/#171de35b2bc0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
