What happened to arresting Trump via the ‘War Act’?

I dunno for sure but my guess is that either Boasberg or someone in his inner circle pointed out it much easier/safer to go after Trump and Co on contempt charges rather then dig out and seldom used power and run the risk of it being ? That be my guess.

The places I lurk have been saying that the DoJ only sent in one answer to the Judge not the 4 and said the rest was classified which really pissed off Boasberg as he is a NCIS level judge but Trump does have the power to classify/declassify anything he wants so...yah? This is what seems to really have cheesed off Boasberg who I think wants to drag Trump himself into his courtroom where he's the one in control and can lecture Trump to his hearts content.

I do wunder if this is the case that Trump chooses to force his showdown?

I mean there couldn't be a better case for Trump to try to force a showdown on. This judge is literally demanding ordering that criminals, drug dealers and gang-bangers be not only brought back to the US but released all because Orange Man Bad the proper paperwork wasn't filed.

Yah, that's not going to go over well with the American Public. Sure the Proggies and MSM will scream for joy just because Trump got a L but Joe Shmoo won't be happy to hear that. Trump's approval ratings have never been higher and the Dem's have never been lower so I don't see the Dem's winning this one.

IMHO 2 things may happen if the judge does go ahead and place Trump and Co on contempt

1. Nothing, the judge makes a lot of noise and the MSM screams blue murder at Trump ignoring a "lawfull" order. Sure Trump has ignored a court order but the court is retarded. Sure the judge issues a arrest warrant for Trump and Co but who will fulfill it? Will the DC PoPo try to arrest Trump at the WhiteHouse? Something tells me no. Will the Dem's try to push though a impeachment? Doubtfull, they've never been weaker and don't have the support to make it happen so the warrants are just big nothing burgers.

2. Trump uses this to force the SCOTUS to do...something? If the judge issues contetmp charges and tries to force the issue Roberts will have to do something, what I have no clue and it may not be in Trump's favor as Roberts cares far more about his legacy and the power of the judiciary then any silly thing like justice or fairness.

So yah...lets just wait and see. I'm no lawfag so I can only guess at what these big brains will do.

I think the incredibly pragmatic answer is:
Bibi says "lol it was previous jews running the show! not us!", and Trump concurs with "yeah it's like a different admin, like Crooked Joe!" and then we send another 3b in aid. Societal discontent with the petitioners of Herod increases by another 2%. Nothing ever happens.

To be fair bibi would have a solid argument. The kikes hated the party that would become Likud. Like straight up said the party founder was a terrorist and even had Albert Einstein condemning him.

Not surprised about the Boeing announcement, Boeing Defense Systems has generally always their shit together compared to the commercial side, which is just now again ramping up with improved QC and oversight.

The St Louis MO site, which is basically the old McDonnell-Douglass defense division headquarters, was and continues to be the sole production site for bunch of well-regarded fighters and attack aircraft. They added an unnamed 6th gen fighter to the official site logo last year, and some of the guys I used to work with say they're in the process of demolishing the old abandoned McD factory to erect a new facility

I think there's a different 6th gen navy contact that will probably go to Lockmart with general dynamics as a primary supplier, this is for the Air Force contract and will likely be built in partnership with Northrop like the Super Hornet

This smells very much like copium stewing from some Liberal echo chamber. You may want to be more forthcoming about what your channels are.

Trump has been in the lawfare system since at least 2016, including criminal indictments. In all of that time, not once has he ever been held in contempt, even after being accused of ignoring a gag order. So it would be very strange if in a hearing where he is not even in the court room, he gets held in contempt of court. Furthermore, the type of contempt would be indirect contempt. This provides for a hearing. And even if they are truly found in contempt, the only way to enforce it would be through the U.S. Marshals. Contrary to popular belief, the Marshals are not part of the Judicial Branch. They are controlled by the Executive Branch. The DOJ would simply never order them to make arrests and the judgement would be moot. This is an example of the Judicial Branch’s inability to enforce any rule of law against the Executive Branch, as we’ve known since Marbury v. Madison.

>replacement for the F-22, a true air superiority fighter
>no empennage
It will have a decent roll rate, but unless those are thrust vectoring engine exhausts in both pitch and yaw, I guess the USAF is changing the air superiority doctrine from a pure fighter to an over-the-horizon drone control platform.

I've always said that 5th gen would be the gen without a pilot. After all the meat is the weakest part of the fighter.

Plus it takes the highly trained and super expensive pilot out of danger. Get shot down? No biggie log into another drone and your back in the air in less time then ever.

So what's their reasoning again? You don't just jump out of a 2nd term election and let your vice president take the reign, then jump back on the podium role just like that.

He had his chance, why is he coming back for round 2?
Click to expand...
There was a theory put forth that they basically kept him drugged out of his mind his entire term to try and forestall the end and make him more presentable for the few times he had to give public speeches. Without this near constant drugging, the theory went, he's worse on average but instead of having some extremely high days and complete crashouts where he's useless, he's actually more lucid.

If so, imagine being Biden and waking up 4 years after you're elected and finding out that "you" decided not to run so your drunk off her ass token diversity hire VP could run, only she picks a commie pedo and loses in a landslide. He's gotta be pissed, haha.

If he loves Ukraine more than America he should be sent to Kiev to be a true patriot on a eastern front.

This is what REAL democracy looks like!!!

I wonder how many injunctions were filed against past GOP presidents, wouldn't be shocked if others got shafted like Trump has, though I'd still say it was worse with him

Don't worry, they have their top H-1Bs straight out of New Delhi on it. China won't be involved. The jeets will still sell the specs and blueprints to them for the offer of sniffing a crumb of Chinese pussy, but, you know, they won't be involved directly.
