Wait, they actually said this?! And then they have the gall to beg us for money/military aid. No, if this is how you're going to act when receiving even the slightest bit of pushback,

DC circuit judge Chutkan rules on DOGE's side? Against the 14 Blue State Coalition?

Did I hop realities again and not notice?

Quotes:

“The order you’re requesting is incredible broad,” U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said. “It would essentially bring government to a halt"

“We’re asking you to shut down a constitutional violation that we haven’t seen in this
country,” Kirschner said.

“You’re essentially asking me to shut down the government,” Chutkan said.
“I can’t give prophylactic TROs!” Chutkan eventually said.

Yep. The fact that they were TRO's really pissed them off too I was reading one of them yesterday and the Judge was like "wtf why do this just go call the DOJ this is a waste of time"

More importantly, TRO's are meant to be a remedy for ongoing civil disputes. Not a remedy for restraining the functions of the Federal Government, or even their relations with the States. These TRO requests are especially agregious in that the "Plaintiffs" are not actually the target. What The US President does with the executive agencies is no business of the States.

This is one of those rare reverse uno situations where these 19 States are attempting to usurp the rights of the Federal Government to manage its own internal beaurocracy. what right does New York claim to advance that would give it permission to demand the President not command the Executive Departments of the beaurocracy he was ELECTED to command?

I feel like the left wing is stuck in a loop. They assume the Courts and Lawfare will work, because that has ALWAYS been how they were able to push their agenda outside the electoral process and go around the voters. But this strategy has really backfired this time. They are asking for too much now and are grabbing onto an electrified third rail. They are asking for a retard in a funny robe to usurp the executive Article II authority. A few Judges have very foolishly decided to grab this presented third rail with both hands and they are fucked. Its been a long time since Federal Judges were impeached and removed from office, but I have a sneaking suspicion we are going to be making some history on this front too in the coming years. Bet good money 1 or 2 of them are going to end up in one of Pam Bondi's medium security retirement complexes too. 3 Guaranteed meals a day, and the best negro care workers government money can buy.

The Gulf of Mexico is just to bully that bitch Sheinbaum. She’s still whining at the Spaniards saying they need to apologize for civilizing them and this has really got under her skin.

I hope all of this leads to Total Cartel Death sooner than later. Because Mexico is not gonna do anything about it.

I know a lot of people who are taking it shockingly hard, which is hilarious to me because they don't see how it's meaningless, like it was meaningless when they renamed Mt. McKinnley Denali. We basically give english names to a bunch of countries that have local names. Cat is gato is neko is chaut and the world keeps spinning. They can change the name back next time they win, because it's just an executive order.

The water will be fine. It doesn't care or notice what it's called.

This does make it a super effective troll though. It distracted them quite a bit from actually impactful changes.

Mexico should rename the gulf of California to the gulf of Mexico

Two of the four Mexican states it borders are Baja California and Baja California Sur and the Mexican government officially changed the name to Gulf of California despite locals still calling it Sea of Cortez. It’d be such an own goal that I fully support them renaming it back.

I bought a ginger based syrup that was about the price of the fakes and tasted good, don’t know if it’ll kill me but it only seems to have one ingredient? RFK should worry less about sugar more about oils, costco ginger ale has brominated vegetable oil in it, why does it need to be there? Why can’t all the fast food places use peanut oil?

OC so its topical 1739662037075.png

Maybe she's hoping for mercy from Trump? Not a bad strategy on Trumps part if that's the case. A snake will quickly turn into a rat if they think the shovel is coming for their neck if they don't get it pointed at another snake. Trump just needs to remember a snake is always a snake.

Unless they are eastern black snakes. Those guys are okay. They kill rattler and copperhead babies, as well as rats. And if you pick one up properly they will just hug your arm and make you look like a fucking bad ass.

I'd like to see the government review all current EBT vendors for shenanigans. I know there are food deserts where there's very little choice besides bodegas, but there is also a lot of fraud going on. Maybe limit EBT to stores that sell fresh food as well as processed garbage? Food deserts often have small meat markets, vegetable stands, and bakeries in them. Perhaps if they were allowed to become EBT vendors, they could carry a few more items other than just their specialty---AFTER they've been vetted.

Having worked at a large grocery chain during high school, my opinion is that the way to crack down on well fair abuse isn’t with the retailers but with the people themselves. EBT is the one place in government where we need MORE red tape and not less. Working that job made me small government racist conservative I am today. So many people would get their week’s groceries on EBT and then hand you 60 bucks cash for the 30 rack of Busch light and carton of Marlboro lights. And then they’d walk over to the customer service desk and buy 100 bucks in scratchers. And then drive off in an Escalade

Egg laying chickens take roughly 18 weeks to mature to the "point of lay"

Trump was Inaugurated Jan 20th. 🇺🇸 Marked on this calendar, and 🐣 marked 18 weeks later.
View attachment 6985260
May 26th also happens to be Memorial Day this year.
View attachment 6985263

After May 26th, Memorial Day the egg prices will begin to be effected by Trump's direct policies. Add a few weeks for Trump's cabinet picks to be confirmed and for Trump to fire the chicken genociders.

Juneteenth might possibly see improvements.

Give it until The 4th of July before you complain again.

Did that answer your concern?

If Trump can get the deportation numbers up hard, we could see demand dip, and thus a dip in price.

They have done such a great job of isolating themselves for years that they have no idea how anyone outside their bubble thinks.

Most people can't conceive how bad the isolation and purity spiralling has become. They all bullied each other off of X, and now on Bluesky they're going after people who have Substacks, because Substack is a "Nazi platform." And you can't question anything. Even asking simple clarifying questions is shouted down as "sealioning" or "JAQing off" [Just Asking Questions] or "asking questions in bad faith."

And when you're criticized you're not allowed to defend yourself or play it off as banter the way you might among normal people. The only option is to hang your head and grovel if you want to stay in the group. People see others getting bullied and don't want to lose their friend groups, so they just shut up and never question.

And then there's the IRL isolation. Right after the election I joined a Redditor discord in the hopes of finding some amusing salt (didn't stay long, it was mostly depressing rather than funny). The server had a whole fucking separate channel dedicated solely to "family estrangement," i.e., just telling each other to cut off "fascist" family members, working out the logistics, congratulating each other for doing it. And these weren't groomers aiming to isolate and target kids (groomers might have been present, obviously, but it was mostly an older crowd). It's just a mainstream Reddit/leftist thing now.
