I think most of what you said is silly emotional rantings not based in fact, but lets go through them.

1) EO - Obama started the heavy reliance on EO's after Dem control of Congress was lost. Many were reversed. Trump followed the pattern to a degree in his first administration and then Biden redoubled the effort. Trump has been excessive in his use of EO's, I'll agree, but it hasn't risen to the level of obviating checks and balances. On the other hand, the use of national injunctions by lower courts is an abuse as is the widespread use of "lawfare" by the Dems which are a far greater injury to the separation of powers than any EO so far issued.
2) As far as war powers....can you seriously use that argument after Obama's widespread use of drones to execute people he judged to be not worthy all over the world? After the extensive abuses of lawfare by the Dems and the pre-indictment pardon's abuse by Biden, can you make these sort of statements with a straight face? The rulings by the Supreme court have been about law and order rather than willy-nilly emotional responses - as the Constitution requires.
3) The actions of the Supreme court are lawful and haven't been legitimately challenged.

As far as I see, concerns about checks and balances were under greater threat when Biden (or whoever) was President than now. I see thoughtful, considered opinions coming out of the Supreme Court and irrational responses to almost everything coming from the Dems. I see the extensive use of lawfare and the undermining of the judicial branch by the Dems the greatest threat to our nation in it's history.

*write, not "right".
President Obama used EOs to get stuff done when the Republicans refused to do anything except down-vote. They wouldn't accept what the day of the week was called, it was pathetic and the start of what became MAGAT. Even the color of his suit was a 'scandal'.

Some of us are old enough to remember when the Republican Party was a respected part of world politics. Plenty are not old enough.

And most of Trump's EO's were to undo the stupid EO's from Obama. The Democrats will spend us into oblivion if we're not careful.

Yes, Trump took steps to increase greenhouse gases, which we need more of to avoid oblivion.

And now he's trying to destroy food safety standards in beef production, while he gives tax money to billionaires and increases spending on the military.

You're an idiot.

I'm a smart idiot.

Has the ice in the arctic disappeared yet? Records show it's at about the same level it's been at since ALGORE made his movie.

The Obama and Biden administrations went on a global crusade to reduce or eliminate beef production because, they said, they fart too much. Maybe it's time to undo the negative effects of that foolish crusade.

In the meantime Trump is allowing Argentina to export beef to the US.
Argentina receives tax money from US beef farmers to increase their beef, which is banned from other countries for having too many chemicals.

To be fair, Obama/Biden forced Argentina to administer fart-reduction medication to their cattle (and to many other places also).
 
Trend flat since 2007.
Your chart shows a long-term trend of serious decline, then cherry-picks a short term trend. Why not pick a short-term trend that's even worse than the long-term trend? Because that would be misleading?

I specifically wrote that the declining trend leveled out since ALGORE's movie. AlGORE said that the icepack would be gone. It's not. Most of earth's existence has been ice-free even though we're only in a warm-spell in the middle of an ice age. The bigger threat is the end of this brief warm period. Nevertheless, the planet has been warming fairly steadily since the last big freeze and will probably continue to do so even though we've been fairly steady since 2006. Is your suggestion that we put aside cars and planes and go back to walking for travel since horses and oxen fart?

A classic example of the "right wingers getting pissed off about stuff they made up themselves" trope...

Well, if the wildfires and hurricanes and spread of tropical diseases and that collapsing glacier in Nepal won't convince you, how about this: fossil fuel pollution is bad for your health even if you're a "sceptic" about climate science!

The smoke produced by burning compressed dinosaur bodies (not to mention the smoke produced by the war over oil in the Persian Gulf) is bad for you, especially compared to the smoke that is NOT produced by solar cells or wind turbines.

I thought you folks were all gung-ho on a futuristic high-tech world, not old fogies nostalgic for photochemical smog, strip mining coal and "forever wars"!
 
Well at the time of this posting, i.e. Sep 17, there has still been no announcement of a replacement for Karoline since she averred that she would leave at the end of August. The only rational explanation I can think of for this situation is that Pres Trump must be desperately trying to convince Karoline to change her mind and continue as the Presidential Press Secretary. It is obvious that it is hard to find anyone superior to her for that post.

Trump isn't looking for someone superior, he's looking for someone younger and with bigger tits.
 
The raison d'etre of the Republican party is to preserve the integrity of the Constitution. The goal of our form of Government is to provide specific services with enumerated powers to our nation. It is not to "cure our problems" beyond those enumerated powers. Curing problems outside the enumerated powers are the responsibility of: a) states, and/or b) people who wish to address the challenges, preferably outside of government compulsion.

Well, if true they’ve absolutely lost their way
 
CFCs were banned country by country since 1978, with the last countries joining in 2010. CFCs were identified as causing destruction of the ozone layer.

This works.
CFC’s will make a comeback in AmeriKKKa give them a moment to free up all the other regulations. They will get to allowing CFC’s!
 
And the significance of your cherry picking would be?

There is none.

Even amongst your fellow uneducated low intelligence white male boomer cohort, your ignorance shines like a bloomin' beacon.
Didn't Al Gore say all the ice would gone by now?

Recent studies show that Antarctica’s total ice mass has temporarily increased since about 2020 due to unusually heavy snowfall, even though long‑term trends still point to overall ice loss. Satellite data indicate gains of roughly 68 gigatonnes per year from 2020–2024 and a record 695‑gigatonne increase from 2021–2023, driven mainly by intensified atmospheric moisture transport.​
