“I hope Trump announces that no one will face any consequences for failing to follow these regs.”

He won’t have to. The regs go into effect 60 days after publishing in the federal register. These bad boys will be strangled in the crib.

That’s what I was thinking. instead of wasting time going through each regulation, just burn the book.

"...there are still about 26 working days left in the year."

If I'm not mistaken, that doesn't matter to the President at all. He can keep that pen and phone working right up 'til midnight Jan 19, 2017.

I’ve read a few things about Israel afraid he is going to pull something bad on them before he leaves office. At first I didn’t think he would have the nerve, but after seeing the way he is acting today I wouldn’t put anything past him.

This should be a valuable lesson to all those on Capitol Hill that are questioning how far Trump should go in applying the mandate given to him by the American voters.

Incrementalism- as defined by GWB- absolutely sucks. Eliminate all of Obama’s laws/legislation/legacy & ram the Trump agenda right down their throats. And if the Soros lead riots continue play hardball with them too. Enough of this crap, and unless Republicans fully realize this country is in a war against Marxist globalists this opportunity to change the country for the better may be lost for good.

No apology needed by our side.

What a waste of paper, since it’s all going to be reversed in a few months.

Why is Obama wasting all that paper? Why does Obama hate trees?!?

All states already have state level equivalents of the EPA. EPA should at least be reduced to an advisory and research role with no regulating authority at all. They can recommend stuff all day long, but it will be up to the states to implement. That by itself would have immeasurable benefits.

Trump should announce today that any regulations dated from today onward are null and void.

Let Bammy write what he wants.

California refuses some trade with other States if they don’t comply with their regulations. They had all trucks go through expensive overhaul, putting small truckers out of business, then told out of state truckers they couldn’t drive through their state if not in compliance.

Great idea!

You should send it to him, seriously.

It is similar to telling illegal aliens that nothing would happen to them if the voted in the USA.

I thought this was what we paid Congress to do. He needs to request that Congress codify that EOs can be used for daily operations of Administration duties only and that any law or regulation that affects nonadministration personnel must be approved by Congress prior to being enforceable.

The whole point of "50 laboratories of Democracy" is that a few states do blazingly stupid things (like CA), and other states don't, the states that don't will prosper at the expense of CA. OTOH, if one state stumbles onto something really smart, other states will soon emulate it.

If CA wants to be a bunch of fools they will be unable to inflict that foolishness on others. Economic disparity will eventually compel adoption of responsible policies.

He’ll be in his seat at the inauguration signing executive orders until noon.

Every Obama executive order and equivalent decree should be repealed on January 20, 2017. No exceptions. The new Cabinet should be given orders to identify any useful regulations from these eight Obama years. On January 27, 2017, one week after President Trump restores the rule of law, all federal regulations originating during these eight years that are not on the list (approved by the appropriate Secretary and by the President) should be repealed. Roll back federal government bloat. Reset clocks to 2008 by the end of week one. Then start rolling FedGov back even further

By the end of Year 1, I'd like to see FedGov the size of Clinton's government or smaller. By the end of year 4, I'd like to see FedGov the size of LBJ's government, and there would still be work to do.

I look forward to the day when a federal court will set a record for criminal convictions of federal officials, managers and staffers.
