Trump's latest executive order concludes:
ENSURING A GOVERNMENT THAT ANSWERS TO THE PEOPLE: This order fulfills President Trump’s promise to restore constitutional governance and accountability to the entire executive branch. Executive power without responsibility has no place in our Republic. The United States was founded on the principle that the government should be accountable to the people. That is why the Founders created a single President who is alone vested with “the executive Power” and responsibility to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Voters and the President can now hold all Federal agencies—not just Cabinet departments—responsible for their decisions, as the Constitution demands.
Trump openly attacks with intent to completly destroy u.s. constitutional governance, yet claims to restore it? That, "Executive power without responsibility has no place in our repblic" is the topic sentence to a paragraph which concludes, "That is why the Founders created a single President who is alone vested with _the executive Power_" to decide what the law is, is an attack on the very concept of written language with interpretable meaning.
There is no space for confusion: the authoritarian take over is currently being implemented.
The relevant part of the executive order reads: (emphasis added)
Sec. 7. Rules of Conduct Guiding Federal Employees’ Interpretation of the Law. The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.

Executive order "Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies"
Bernie Sanders in the u.s. congress speaking about the destruction of the u.s. government and the u.s. turn to oligarchy and authoritarianism. I don't understand how trump still isn't wildly unpopular.

The dead skin cells on my fingertips remember better

Last month’s guitar practice
burned lightly into the flesh.
Testimony to feats I can no longer accomplish.
The dead skin cells on the palms of my hands remember better

Rocks once climbed, or

Hitting a paywall blocking an article is a frustrating experience you’ve probably had if you read the news online – whether its blocking you from reading critical information about an ongoing emergency event, staying informed about local politics, or just reading that article your dad sent you because you know he’s going to want to talk about it the next time you call him – but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some ways you can bypass paywalls to read many articles you want to access without paying for them:
The Wayback Machine ~ https://web.archive.org
The Wayback Machine is a great resource for many things on the internet: this Internet Archive collects snapshots of websites frozen in time to archive information across the internet for posterity even if the original websites change or are taken down. This works for articles too, because it can archive the version of an article behind the paywall for anyone to read:
Tldr why are there no benches???
