Or what? This clown gonna convict the other clown of a felony?
"mom tells infant to 'cut it out' more at 6"
Trump is only 1cm...according to Stormy. When is that?
Ok, the last time he violated a judge's orders, the charges were much more serious and he was facing potential jail time, both from the criminal trial he was a part of and the gag order imposed on him.
He all-but told the judge to go fuck himself on a daily basis right outside the courtroom, violated the gag order ten fucking times, and received exactly no punishment. And that was when he was a criminal defendant.
He's now President of the United States, has all three branches of government in his back pocket, and was basically anointed as a king by the Supreme Court, who declared he's all but immune from prosecution.
And this judge thinks he's going to obey his orders this time? He told you guys to fuck off on the daily when he was a civilian, and y'all did exactly nothing about it. Now he's POTUS. The fuck is he planning on doing about it now when he violates his orders again? Send out more orders? Trump could literally tell this guy to go fuck himself and his orders with a chainsaw live on television and there's fuck-all he can do about it.
So you want the judge to give him a pass?
the hottest take i think I have ever seen. well done.
"and this judge thinks"
You can't just bitch any time someone tries to do something. Does this judge think he's going to single handedly rein in this fascist administration? No, probably not. Should he try anyway? Absolutely.
We don't need more Robert Muellers.
Curious if there will be a "straw that broke the camels back" moment with america and this president or is everything he ever does just going to be taken by the public. Im sure the french would have a guillotine out by now
This is the camel not the straw.
I just wanna know where all the “I need guns to fight back against tyranny” people are. They’re reeeeal quiet.
They won't do shit, to them that's not tyranny because their team won.
a not insignificant portion of those people support the current administration. tyranny to them is Dems in control of government.
Responsible gun owners don’t crow about their weapons.
Sure, but there are PLENTY of irresponsible ones screaming that nonsense every time a school shooting happens. It’s not like they’re rare specimens.
Guess who the irresponsible ones voted for.
I know they're unbelievably dense, and they're getting their bizzaro worldview reinforced by Fox News every day, but at some point it will be obvious to a critical number of them that they've been had; used and tricked and made fools of.
The whole mind control apparatus that was supposed to keep them in line was keeping their anger on a hair-trigger to short-circuit their critical reasoning faculties and make them atrophy. It worked for a long time, but the consequence is that, once it becomes obvious (even to them) that they've been duped, their carefully groomed anger will overflow ... and they've got an insane number of assault weapons.
I agree. Lots of talk, all the walking has been backwards...
Fascism is not exactly sustainable. If not the people or the military, he is bound to piss off someone close to him enough to betray him eventually.
The issue is how many lives will be lost in the process.
I'm very curious to what will be the "moment"
Yeah. This is definitely what I would call "the cool zone".
In the moments between bouts of existential dread, I am at the edge of my seat!
God, we're back in the Cool Zone already?
Regrettably :C
So the circus continues. Another day, another contempt-of-decency performance from the executive branch’s greatest hits. McConnell’s ruling isn’t just a legal smackdown—it’s a neon sign flashing “constitutional arson in progress.”
Funny how “irreparable harm” gets shrugged off like a minor paperwork error. The admin’s playbook? Gaslight, obstruct, project until the courts buckle under sheer audacity. Democracy’s not just teetering—it’s doing backflips off a cliff while they bet on which branch breaks first.
I’m sure he’ll listen this time judge.
I'm actually really hoping he doesn't. It's better we get this over with sooner than later. Piss the courts and the legislature off before he has gathered enough of a foothold
Speed run the end of democracy! LFG!
The democracy part was already over when he ignored Congress, this is just accelerating the time period from no longer being a republic to the deciding moments of what will become.
At this point it's still just a good attempt at not being a republic. We were, after all, dumb enough to vote this guy in legitimately.
We're in the "if you can keep it" phase.
The President cannot override a law/statute with an executive order it has to go back to the legislature. Trump's removal of the enforcement teams for their sanctions that were signed legislation was a direct act against the constitution. Every Congress member and senator swears an oath to defend and uphold it. How could we still call it a republic if the representatives decision was illegally overturned and they have not yet removed the executor of it?
Because it's been a very short time. It's still possible laws are enforced, although dangerously precarious.
This is really the ideal path. Fracture fast, begin the healing.
Also if there is going to be a war, I'd rather it be in my mid 30s than late +. And before my niece and nephews are old enough to l remember it would be nice.
Also while some media still exists that isn't fully owned by them
It is literally in their playbook, ignore court orders. Dark Gothic MAGA is terrifying
This video is prophetic and I highly encourage everyone to watch it. It sounds like a conspiracy theory except we see virtually all of it happening in front of our own eyes right now.
And it was posted 3 months ago
It will be really interesting for the supreme court to decide if a president can be held in contempt of court.
It doesn’t even need to go that far. The next step after failure to comply with a court order would be dispatching the US Marshalls. They report to the DoJ, so I’d say that’s pretty unlikely.
Scholars and pundits are saying that act of inhibiting their own accountability will be the official end of the US government as it was designed, and the official beginning of an authoritarian regime.
That "official acts" rule is gonna do a lot of heavy lifting.
That's the trick though. Contempt of court isn't the same as breaking a law and doesn't have the same restrictions. For example, a person can be held in jail for contempt indefinitely without trial until the person yields to the demand of the judge. This sometimes happens to people who refuse to pay child support that the courts know they can afford.
Ya'll have primed him to ignore your shit because nothing serious has ever happened to him from the courts. You fucking baffoons. Lay in your bed.
I think the judge is mistaken. This is an official act. That means it’s not constrained by things like rulings. In fact, law just isn’t applicable. They really should put more effort into staying up-to-date. /s
Well, supreme Court already said if it's an official act, then he is immune. So if he decides a court order but it's an official act, then he can't be guilty.
Great job there scotus
Or else....??
Another strongly worded letter?
I guess in a perfect world, impeachment and removal from office. If that fails then military coup? I don't see either of those things happening.
And if he Doesnt?
