Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

The “no, you” approach is definitely becoming a regular card in their playbook. Got to throw that shit up against the wall and see what sticks I guess.
Ah - yeah. I should've seen this coming.
It's a standard tactic for Trump, as it is for petulant and unimaginative children around the world - basically an official version of "Nuh uh! You are!"
"I'm rubber and you're glue, whatever bad things happen bounce off of me and stick to you"
This from the same legal team that successfully argued that the president is above the law, including having the ability to assassinate his political opponents.
Successfully argued to a majority of justices that they installed.
Biden needs to order seal team six to walk up to Trump and slap him across the face and then walk back to their helicopter and fly away.
Every day for the next 6 months.
I support this.
Maybe also slap a locking ball gag on him.
As long as it's an "official act" i don't see why not
Biden need to order all the property owned by the conservative members of the court be seized under eminent domain. You know, for security reasons. And he should make sure they don't miss Clarence Thomas' RV.
It's a motorhome, get it right man!
This is my own private domicile!
I understood that reference!
Putting aside the ludicrousness of this argument, what good would a gag order do if Biden violates it? He's immune from prosecution.
Only if he says I DECLARE AN OFFICIAL ACT first. Otherwise, it's a sparkling personal act.
