President Joe Biden signs Covid-19 executive orders

Показать описание

On his first full day in office, President Joe Biden announced 10 executive orders to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, mandating masks on public transportation and directing agencies to use wartime powers to require U.S. companies to make N95 masks, swabs and other equipment.

The president’s plan emphasizes ramping up testing for the coronavirus, accelerating the pace of vaccinations and providing more funding and direction to state and local officials, according to a copy of it released Thursday. A key component of the plan is restoring trust with the American public. It also focuses on vaccinating more people, safely reopening schools, businesses and travel as well as slowing the spread of the virus.

“The National Strategy provides a roadmap to guide America out of the worst public health crisis in a century,” the plan says. “America has always risen to the challenge we face and we will do so now.”

Biden has taken office at a pivotal moment in the pandemic. Nearly 3,000 Americans are dying every day of Covid-19, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, and newly discovered strains that are more contagious are establishing footholds in the U.S., threatening to push the nation’s outbreak to even more deadly heights. The plan released Thursday expands on initiatives outlined last week and details how Biden plans to bring the outbreak under control and help the country recover.

Didn’t he just sign an EO to wear masks at all times on federal property? Where is he?

Did... did he at least know what this one was when he signed?

Time to stop paying taxes. No taxation without representation. If he wants all these illegals here then he and his cronies can pay for them. If they don’t want to follow our constitution then every other law is mute.

The video starts with the orders looking blank, until the camera zooms in and the angle changes.

At first I thought the pages were blank but at 0:57 when the camera zooms in you can see the writing come into focus.

Jan 20, 2021 no doubt is the saddest day in American history - DC looks like Tiananmen Square in 1989, and POTUS needs 50K army around him to stay in power.

I love how so many videos of Biden, including his inauguration, has such an unfavorable ratio of likes to dislikes, yet we’re supposed to believe that Biden was the more popular candidate and totally “won” fair and square.
