Last I checked he can’t be charged with anything as sitting President, not that it can’t be enforced.

Whichever way it works. The end result is the same.

Anyone wanna guess what those “Consequences” are going to be?

• A sternly worded written order DEMANDING compliance, with random words in ALL CAPS to show how serious they are this time.
• A repeat of the orders demanding compliance, but adding the words “OR ELSE” to the end.
• A $1000 fine for the first dozen or so violations, followed by nothing at all.
• A contempt of court charge for Trump that actually can’t be enforced because he’s the sitting President.
• A press release saying that Trump needs to abide by the court’s decisions.
• Absolutely fucking nothing at all.

“Zelenskyy misunderstood the conditions of the ceasefire. You see, the US and Russia agreed that Ukraine would no longer launch attacks against Russia. We didn’t say anything about the other way around. Ukraine needs to start understanding the terms of the ceasefire we’re agreeing to on their behalf if they want to show they’re serious about ending a war they started.”

– JD Vance, probably.

So universities are about to go 0-2 in the fight against a Trump takeover.

Columbia bent the knee almost immediately. It’ll be interesting to see how long UPenn holds out.

It was disregarded because it was a vocal demand when the criminals were already halfway to their destination. If we allowed a federal judge to say “wait, don’t do that!” and express vocally their outrage, to the POTUS every time they disagreed, there would be no point in having a person voted as President

You do realize this happens all the time, right? Death row inmates can be granted clemency literally while they’re strapped to the gurney. It’s literally a case of the judge, governor, POTUS, whoever saying “WAIT, DON’T DO THAT!”. And yes, this includes the judge verbally giving instructions and holding off the proceedings until a written order can be drafted.

There was nothing stopping them from turning that plane around.

He isn’t high enough up the food chain to have earned that perk yet.

‘You felt you could disregard it?’

Well, given that they disregarded it and are now standing before you arguing that they had the right to disregard it, I think it’s safe to say that yes, they felt they could disregard it. And given that the migrants were deported anyway, your orders were not only completely ignored, but were also being openly mocked on Twitter by Marco Rubio, and they will receive no punishment for doing so, I think it’s safe to say that they were right.

Frustrated, Boasberg ordered sworn declarations explaining what happened, quipping that he would issue a written order “since apparently my verbal orders don’t seem to carry much weight.”

He’s about to find out that his written orders carry even less. Remember, the Supreme Court ruled that he can’t even be questioned about official acts, much less investigated. Trump could go on his Twitter knock-off tomorrow and tell this guy to go fuck himself with a chainsaw and there’s fuck-all this judge can do about it.

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said in a statement on Trump’s demand.

Yeah, and for more than two centuries, our Presidents didn’t have the Supreme Court anointing them as all-but a king immune from prosecution, but here we are.

I mean, he’s not wrong if you count “away from Schumer” as a ‘real direction’.

Here’s what I can tell you.

School food service management companies are going to pull out of a lot of school districts, if not out of public school service entirely. Districts were working on shoestring budgets with all-but-nonexistent profit margins before Trump returned to office and declared war on the poor. The cuts to grants that Trump has made already are going to put these districts underwater by year’s end. And that’s a generous estimate.

Now, say what you will about the major food service companies out there (Chartwells, Sodexo, Aramark, Wixons, etc.). And god knows there are problems with all of them. I say this having worked for one of them. But what I will also say is that even the worst of these companies is still better than many districts that will try to self-operate. And while some school districts can and do self-op successfully, far more have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. “Management” is typically whoever drew the short straw, or whoever is low man on the totem pole. They often have no idea what they’re doing and know nothing about 90% of the rules, regulations, and practices of food service. Further, they couldn’t care less because they have their actual jobs to do and food service barely even makes the priority list at all, let alone being low priority. “Menu planning” becomes little more than “There’s a hamburger, french fries, and some milk. What more do you want?”. The districts don’t have the leverage to buy at bulk rates like a school food service company does, so the food often costs more.

So the waste, fraud, and abuse is going to increase exponentially. Much of it is going to be due to sheer incompetence and a lack of buying power. Some will see it as a way to divert money into programs that they actually do care about – a practice that was already common before Trump – or in some cases, directly into their pockets. Others are going to intentionally sabotage the program because they want school lunch service out of their schools entirely, hoping to follow the political winds and have the federal mandates requiring participation in the NSLP repealed.

Take a look at the crap your kids are getting served today. That’s the healthiest they’re gonna eat at school for a long, long time.

Someone needs to be talking to Schumer’s PR team about concepts like “optics”, “timing”, and “reading the room” that are apparently foreign concepts to them. You don’t all-but abandon the Democrat party by voting for the budget he’s going to use to gut American social safety nets, essentially becoming a cuck for Trump, and saying there’s nothing the Senate can do to stop him and then go out and launch a fucking book tour days later.

I hope his book tour stops are met with Democrat voters telling him what a fucking loser he is.

This has been known for a long time. Nobody is buying the 13802804329th “tell-all” book about Trump written by some no-name politician (I know Schumer has name value, but I’m speaking in general terms here) enough to catapult them to the best sellers’ list.

So, everybody around here who keeps saying “There are laws preventing this!” and “Even Trump won’t directly defy court orders like that!”…

Now what?

• Courts have repeatedly said that the mass federal firings must stop. These orders have all been ignored and the firings are intensifying. Nothing has been done.
• Courts have repeatedly said that various fired federal workers must be reinstated. These orders have also been ignored. As far as I know, not a single one of them has been re-hired. Nothing has been done.
• Courts have ruled that these migrants cannot be deported. Trump deported them anyway. Trump has graduated from simply ignoring court orders to openly defying them. Nothing has been done.
• Trump is now openly calling for the impeachment of judges that rule against him.

This is the justice system that you think is going to keep Trump in check and hold him accountable? They’re much more likely to rubber-stamp his agenda and give him more power. And no, that’s not hyperbole or sarcasm. It’s what the courts have been doing, and it’s what John Roberts recently signaled he’d sign on for.

If you believe for half a second that our justice system is going to hold the line against Trump, I’ve got some sweet, sweet Martian beachfront property you might be interested in. Musk recently said he’s sending a ship there soon, so get in on the ground floor now!

I never fucking want to hear “Trump will never be able to do that, because that’s illegal!” from you people again. If there is nobody willing or able to enforce the law, the “law” becomes nothing more than a suggestion that can and will be ignored when inconvenient. And right now, nobody seems either willing or able to hold Trump to account for anything.

Is that when they send a letter ORDERING his compliance in all caps?

While you’re at it, take a look at this beachfront property I have for sale. On Mars. Elon Musk is planning on sending one of his rockets up there soon, so you’d better get in on the ground floor on this one!

Until Trump just ignores it.

The problem is that they’re not trying to hide it. They openly say this is how it’s going to work now.

Look at Columbia. They refused to cooperate. Then they got 400 million yanked out from under them. And then they fell right in line.

“Hey, could y’all do me a solid and just cede more power to me voluntarily? That’d be great!”

– Trump

Not even the slightest bit of resistance. Asked for nothing, got nothing. Just caved like a house of cards because of the “optics” around shutting down a bunch of government agencies that Trump is about to shut down anyway.

And the rest of our representatives are falling in line. Not even putting up a fight. Just rolling over and playing dead. Thanks, guys. Good to know that in our fight for democracy, we can rely on you to step aside and let Trump take a giant shit on it.
