Have to admit, he kind of stumped me with these:
- Trump's massive dropping of EO's is PRECISELY what a President who is on their way out would do in the few days leading up to transfer of power.
I couldn't respond to this. He made a valid point.
- Let's assume the "corporation" thing is true; that Trump is giving military control while the USA "corporation" is dissolved and America is restored to the people, would the EO's that Trump is passing be null and void in the new "Republic" since they were enacted during the "corporation"? If so, then why pass them? Unless, based on Obama making EO's un-cancelable by subsequent Presidents, Trump is truly on his way out and wants to pass as much shit as he can that Biden can't overturn.
Couldn't answer that one, either.
The first point your coworker makes is actually pretty accurate. Here's the thing: some of these EOs are pretty big in impact, and a few of them seem strikingly relevant to what we talk about here on GAW.
Secondly, I think people lean a little too heavily on the "corporation thing" that you mention. Who says all of that theory is needed for the kind of military operation we are anticipating? If there is treason, crimes against humanity, blackmail schemes, and corruption to be contended with, I don't think the military needs a complicated theory about how the US is now a corporation and will return to its pre-1871 existence.
