According to CNN, President Biden signed 30 executive orders and actions in his first three days on the job before calling a lid over the weekend and clearing out his Sunday schedule. Among them were some serious job destroyers, such as canceling the Keystone XL pipeline. Never Trumper and Dispatch editor David French wants us to keep things in perspective, though; a “handful” of bad executive orders beats having Donald Trump as president.
Regarding Biden's EOs, two things are true:
1. You can oppose the worst (including through litigation, when appropriate), yet…
2. A handful of bad EOs do not mean it was better to support a deranged liar who'd incite the sacking of the Capitol to hold onto power.

Where’s @SirajAHashmi and his list when we need him?

Trump isn’t president anymore. Joe Biden is.
I don't need that perspective. Trump is gone. I need you all to oppose his EOs. Loudly.

can we not do the "still better than if trump had won" every time biden does something bad for 4 years

Let's not start playing Whatabout Trump. Biden is doing bad things, period.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) January 22, 2021
So… Whataboutism?
Trump objectively did bad things.
Biden is objectively doing bad things.

We are going to be hearing this line a lot as everything French used to stand for is destroyed.

You own Biden. You bought him, too.

Excuses.

Here's the difference. Our legal system will not impose immediate injunctions on the execution of Biden's terrible EOs. So much for non-prejudicial jurisprudence.

You trying to convince others, or yourself?

Because supporting neither was a perfectly valid option.

Time to move on. I didn’t vote for him but he is yesterday’s news. Let’s focus on the here and now.

what's the shelf life for "at least he's not Trump" as an excuse for bad Biden EOs / actions?

Incredibly horrible take here.

It will be interesting to see how long you can cling to this rationalization. How many executive orders, appointment of radicals bureaucrats and judges, and horrible legislation will this excuse?

It’s time to hold Biden accountable for what Biden does.
