Excellent ruling, gives the DOJ more reason to file for an emergency stay and for mandamus than I have ever seen in a case

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

Some dickhead judge in Rhode Island has said so, and thus Trump has no choice but to obey.

Who the fuck cares what the Judge thinks when Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants?

Over the weekend they tried a TRO to fuck with DOGE.

Trump Admin responded saying funding isn't affected by the TRO.

Judge responded saying that the TRO covers funding freezes too (it absolutely does not) and prohibits the Government from cutting funding from ANYONE or ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, until the court is done hearing everything. Which will be months if not years, especially if they slow roll and delay it (and they will).

This is a... what's the inverse of an ex-parte order? It's the Judge basically bringing shit up that wasn't argued or asked, and covers WAY more than what was in discussion.


This is how desperate they are. A Judge just said that the Trump admin has no right to do ANYTHING with money that goes against the Biden admin and the Uniparty's unelected slush fund admins like USAID's wishes. Why? Just absolutely because.

Some dickhead judge in Rhode Island has said so, and thus Trump has no choice but to obey.

They are beyond terrified.

doesn't matter about the decisions being made have X efffect.
main point is bribes & people need to be paid.
no matter the cost .

Rhode Island judge John J. McConnell declares that ackshually the executive branch has no authority over the bureaucracy and spending whatsoever, thus the Trump administration must restore all the spending it's been cutting. (Archive) Between this & that other judge from New York saying that DOGE can't do anything and the Treasury Secretary ackshually has no authority over his own department & its data if it would help them in any way, I think it's fair to say that the left is attempting yet another coup via the judicial branch, perhaps inspired by that De Moraes faggot in Brazil.

America is well overdue for another Jacksonian 'retarded judge has made his retarded ruling, now let him enforce it' moment, may Trump impeach these cunts in robes and add 'buckbreaking the judiciary harder than Jackson fucked Marshall and Lincoln fucked Taney' to his list of achievements by the end of these four years.

Elon's already calling him out:

ofc the faggots have to "resist" the ebil Musk:

.....only for the replies to absolutely dogpile him, lol:

Oh the Brett Cooper vids have improved some. Still too damn long, so I bailed. But I lol'd that she's sponsored by silencershop at 12 min in

 

[>IMPLYING]

We are firmly in coup territory now. Their stance is literally "The Trump Admin's executive branch doesn't have authority to do anything that the Unelected Clerk State doesn't want to let him do."

Either they get stopped immediately, they get ignored, or we have a serious, serious problem.

This seems to be ever-present in the West. In the UK a couple years back, we implemented a plan to ship illegals over to Rwanda (It was stupid but I digress) but the civil service just decided... not to do that. Unelected middle managers essentially steering the ship because they're appointed and apparently very difficult to fire.

Is it time for another crusade? It feels like it’s been a while since there was a crusade. I have a good feeling about having one this time.

 

[Dr J]

is there any precedent for what happens now

Andrew Jackson

ETA: Also, Marbury v Madison. A President's Official Acts cannot be examined by the courts

 

[Kermit Jizz]

The President can't manage executive finances, but random judges can arrest the president. Checks out.

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

Trump should put every single order in a paper shredder live so that when a Judge gets uppity then he could just show them what happens when they step out of line.

 

[gagabobo1997]

they better ignore these courts and not cuck out

 

[Breadbassket]

The American legal system has kind of been circling the drain for a while now when it comes to partisan federal judges pretending to be impartial so it will be interesting to see what happens now.

 

[The Ugly One]

No border is “impenetrable”, whether communists are on the other side or not. We shouldn’t get involved in so many different conflicts just because they might decide to invade us or attack our bases in foreign countries.

Communism was not a "might" on world conquest, and we'd just come off a massive conflict where we learned what happens when you don't address megalomaniacs with global ambitions until it's too late. They never even made a move on Japan or the Philippines because we were pointing nukes at them. Keepin the reds pent up behind the Iron Curtain and the Pacific Wall was absolutely the right thing to do. Kept them busy eating their own until they collapsed (USSR) or stopped being ideological commies (China).

Time for Trump to channel his inner Andrew Jackson. "The court has made its decision, now let it enforce it".

Ye is a perfect example of how mental issue and chronic Internet usage is a horrible idea.

I think you mean "hilarious idea"

unrelated, young niece has her first laptop, now home to one of the 2a/Trump stickers and other crap I brought up to the in-laws over the weekend

TL;DR: Whistleblower comes forward and names names and files a criminal complaint against the governor of Pennsylvania and implicates the former head of the FBI as well as Joe Biden himself, in the attempted assassination of Trump at Butler.

Wow that is potentially huge.

Not surprising the Butler DA denied the criminal complaint. They are probably involved if the complaint is even remotely true.

There is a really interesting fact I can add to this recently filed criminal complaint for context. @Null fyi in case you haven't already seen the following:

From July 2024;

The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project found that the assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was linked to the FBI field office in DC through public cell phone GPS advertising data.

Crooks was repeatedly visited at home and at work by someone who also visited the Gallery Place FBI field office in DC in the months leading up to the attempted assassination.

“Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place. This is in the same vicinity of an @FBI office on June 26, 2023. Who’s device is this?” [the Oversight Project] asked on X.

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

The US Congress publicly vooted $400 million to Greece and Turkey in May 1947. How is that clandestine? That marked the shift from the semi-secret support the US assumed responsibility for from Britain to public support. Congress also vooted $13 billion in 1948 for the Marshall Plan. All of these things, dozens of them, established the US as the non-communist empire before 1950

This is exactly what I'm talking about, you're simply wrong but you will never ever admit it so you just keep repeating wrong things and now you're asking me dumb self-serving questions about what I really meant like it isn't already obvious. The Korean War did not establish the US as a formal world empire is what I really meant. That's why I said it. Your history is incorrect. The US was already formally the anti-communist world empire before the Korean War

Disagreeing with you about the importance of the Korean War vs. US support for the Greek Civil War does not make me stupid. It means I disagree with you. I'm incorrect that the Korean War happened, was the first time US grunts fought communists, and was the first time the US directly fought a foreign war for foreign policy reasons?

I understand if you disagree with me, but you're the one declaring that others in this thread are stupid for not agreeing with you.

This is from back when reddit was (relatively) saner

 

[Fapcop]

It’s not the retarded drag queen stuff that is being cut. It’s the whole agency that Trump and Musk want to decimate. There are a lot of ongoing food and humanitarian aid operations that can’t do their work because of the freeze on all foreign aid. This will exacerbate active crises throughout the world.

All the actual (sorta) important stuff will be transferred to the State Department.

Despite being called “humanitarian” aid, none of these programs are designed to actually benefit poor countries.

Their primary beneficiaries are the whole giant NGO sector, and for the most part they do more to harm the “donor countries” than help them. Just as an example: All those NGO employees and the locals they employ, drive up the prices for the locals.

Even programs like food aid distort local markets and harm local agriculture. Why would you plant soy beans if you’re an African farmer, when USAID shows up and either GIVES AWAY soybeans, or sell them at prices local farmers can’t compete with?
