Supreme Court has to be pissing themselves at this point. All their little District Court flunkies have really stepped in it. On the one hand, its quite likely the retards HAVE overstepped their authority with such broad and sweeping TRO's. Yet now with the chief executive going full Andrew Jackson and telling the judges they can use the paper their orders are written on to wipe their ass, its a real conundrum. They can't just ignore that.

At the same time what can they realistically do? What if they order Trump to do something and he does the same thing to them? Its highly unlikely Congress will do anything to stop Trump. Its more likely they will impeach John Roberts instead. Nothing Ever Happens enjoyers better brace themselves. This is a huge power realignment. If Trump manages to not just beat the beaurocracy into submission but the courts too, he really will be the Emperor in fact, and not just spirit.

Ides of March and all of that too. Imagine Roberts facing the modern American political version of this. You fuck this up as the Supreme Court and you can't uncast that die.

Semi-Lolcow Vox Day once had a commenter on this blog, a Rabbi, who always said that when Jews do what they've been commanded to do, they are an immense blessing to a nation, when they're not, they're the greatest curse in the world. I just wish they let Miller talk to the press more, he understands exactly how they should be treated.

I would like to state more for the record than anything else that I fucking hate "center right"/"centrist" ideas like this so much. "Both sides are the same" bullshit like this is why the government has been ideologically captured by RINOs and communists since the early 2000s.

There shouldn’t even be any debate at this point that there’s an objectively evil side and an objectively good side. Republicans fucking suck, but that’s because they are libshits with the Republican name. Actual conservative values are good. One wants to mutilate and murder children, while the other wants to protect children and put God back into the nation. Some people still have their blinders on with a fence-pole 5 feet up their ass fooling themselves into thinking both sides are bad or both sides are flawed but good. Liberals are unequivocally evil if you ask me. In other words, satanic.

I like how the judge was told it's a matter of national security, explicitly something that is need-to-know with the executive determining who needs to know, but he's literally doo high off his kite that he believes the civil judiciary deserves to know what assets are doing despite lacking the fucking clearance.

Honestly I'm kinda dumbfounded how SCOTUS could ever rule with the judge? The Executive has always been allowed secrecy for national security!

Read the guy in to the program then tell him in a SCIF. Being read into a NTK program requires him to sign paperwork committing to lie detectors about it for the rest of his life. It carries very strict penalties for failure to protect the information and he will be subject to drug test to make sure he has not compromised himself at any point with that information in his brain.

And who's gotten a techbro oligarch like Musk in power and literally turning the world against us. We're picking fights with Japan and Australia for fucks sake.

Do I have to remind you Muskrat wanted fucking H1Bs and was shittalking American culture just like that fucker Vivek was? Vivek was given the boot but Musk somehow wasn't. And bro trying to cut out social security and medicare. Not reform. Not cut out the waste. 100% wants it gone.

That's the dumb shit Trump needs to stop enabling.


The USAID exposure was unironically a good thing and the type of shit that he SHOULD be doing more of (especially since USAID bs directly effects shit involving my heritage). IDK why then 90% of the other time he's fucking up the years of goodwill built. Prices in my state have actually increased not gone down.

There we go, that's some critique I can geniunely get behind.
I'm gonna be honest though, I'm Australian. My country deserves everything bad that happens to it. We're basically an honorary member of the EU at this point.

Regarding the H1B1 shit, I'm so sick of browns, rats are a higher form of life compared to those sludge-adjacent troglodytes.
Elon and Vivek are fucking retards for even thinking people would accept an influx of literal subhuman street shitters, I hope people don't forget it just incase they try to push it again.

I'm legitimately uninformed on social security and medicare so I can't really comment too much on it without making myself look like a retard, I don't want to assume my countries system works the same way as yours does.

Canada's Carney says Trump must stop comments before bilateral talks can start
Reuters (archive.ph)

OTTAWA, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump must stop making "disrespectful" comments about Canada before the two countries can start serious talks about future ties, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday.

Trump, who is promising potentially crippling tariffs against imports from Canada, frequently muses about making the country the 51st U.S. state.

"We've called out those comments. They're disrespectful, they're not helpful, and they ... will have to stop before we sit down and have a conversation about our broader partnership with the United States," Carney told reporters in London.

The remarks by Carney are his toughest yet on Trump since launching his political career in January. Carney, who was sworn in last Friday, has yet to speak to Trump and the U.S. president has remained silent about his appointment.

Carney said Canada wanted a more comprehensive discussion and negotiation of the two neighbors' overall commercial and security relationship.

"When the United States is ready to have that conversation, we're more than ready to sit down," he said.

Canada has retaliated with tariffs against tens of billions of dollars' worth of U.S. imports. Carney said Ottawa would only take action it thought could affect U.S. behavior.

"So this will be very deliberate and there is a limit, full stop. There is a limit to matching these tariffs, dollar for dollar, given the fact that our economy is a tenth the size the United States," he said.

If you had told me 20, hell, 10 years ago that some Christian news rag would unseat the Onion as the king of biting and hilarious political satire, I would have called you crazy.

WTF? Next you're going to tell me that the rest of the site outside the Thunderdome is filled sections dedicated to observing retards on the Internet, and those threads are filled with fun and laughter.

Powerleveling here, but I work at a pretty big one and the amount student drivers from the Middle East that outright tell me they can't read makes me not want to be near any truck on the road I see with my company's logo.

It's not much of a power level to admit you work for Swift.
