Like, the sound of it? Can you explain how that would possibly work?

"Hey we really need this new regulation, but we have to get rid of two regulations to implement it. Hmm let's get rid of these two regulations that seem to be outdated because they were implemented for a certain economical time but now do not benefit anyone."

Uh-huh... federal regulations are made through rulemaking. Are you familiar with this process? I was asking how this would be used or enforced using this process, because what you're describing may make sense for decluttering a closet, it comes off as complete nonsense that is incompatible with the basic understanding of the rulemaking. What mechanism exists to stop new regulations from being made? Deletion of unnecessary regulations is already a function of this process.

Thanks for this friend. I would like to know how this is a terrible thing though if you don't mind if you're saying the deletion is already a part of the process. It seems like to me it just speeds the process of the removal of unnecessary regulations.

I think the EO is harmless because it doesn't do anything. At worst, it makes a lot of people who don't know how their government actually works feel good about applying common-sense cuts that might feed into bad things later.

Regulations are not only necessary, but mandatory for agencies to enforce laws. A lot of "small" businesses (<1500 employees) would love to see those agencies crippled so they can't enforce OSHA compliance or stop them from dumping waste in the river.

I can see your point from an environmental perspective. I work in a bank so I just see some of the stupid little regulations that could be removed that really just inconvenience the customers I work with that might have helped in 2008 but don't really do anything anymore. I still think that it will need to be approved by someone outside of the company/industry with our country's economy/environment in mind.

Honestly, I don't know much about financial regulations but I'm super cautious after '08. Which do you feel are outdated?

There are certain guidelines that we have to follow like "make sure the client sees this document 3 days before closing or else they can't close" which I suppose is there to give people time to review it before signing but honestly it just causes closing dates to be missed. Then you have to have a verification of employment up to closing that expire every 10 days which really pisses employers off when you call them 4-5 times.

Just silly stuff that seems like they had good intentions when they created it, but in the end it just works against the mortgage process and the customer.

Wait so he's actually saying that his role on the NSC was to make sure that it can't do anything? Sounds good to me.

From what I read, Susan Rice increased the powers of the NSC during the Obama administration, so Trump assigned Bannon to bring the powers back down to what it originally was.

So how is it that the son of a KKK member became President? Can anyone go and see these articles or are they difficult to find? I remember hearing about it months ago. Is there some reason nobody in the government or the media thought that was interesting or important enough to mention?

Because he wasn't a part of the klan lol.

There was a Memorial Day parade and the Klan showed up so the police tried removing them which causes riots. Never said he was a part of the Klansmen that showed up.

Treason merely requires that other nation they’re assisting be an “enemy”. It’s hard to say that a country trying to subvert the US’s electoral process and engaging in direct attacks on its political entities is not an enemy.

So you’re the difference between a civilian from one country talking to civilian from another country and treason is open to interpretation?
