"The next administration" doesn't explain anything. They could do that anyway.

What, exactly, will occur if Trump tells judges they can blow him and the agents enforcing the tariffs listen to him?

You should get a profile picture of GW's face between a burger bun. Then you'd at least be fun like Fatpacks.

I did my best with my limited paint skills, Burger Bush does make me laugh so I have to give ya credit for that.

US trade court rules Trump overstepped his authority with global tariffs.

A US federal court has ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority by imposing global tariffs, in a major blow to a key part of his economic policies.

Nothing. They can issue more orders, but it's up to the executive branch (which they are currently fucking with using those very same orders) to enforce those orders. If they refuse, it's all just a lot of hot air.

All judges should be ignored; local, state, federal, international. It's more and more faggotry the higher you go, and they have no power unless somebody else gives it.

I keep asking, what are they gonna do if Trump simply ignores them? Cry and stamp their feet?

You should only have any power as a judge if you
1: Make gunpowder from scratch using nothing but urine and guano
2: Dance merrily while naked
3: Sit still in the middle of the desert naked for at least a full day and night
4: Have a journal full of random things you have destroyed
5: RAPE

Clarence Thomas can do most of these things. The others? Not so much.

I should also point out, court override or not, the tariffs have already had their intended effect -- pretty much every big player is begging for a seat at the negotiating table. I'm sure they understand Trump won't stop pursuing financial penalties for imbalanced trade arrangements just because of a court ruling.

That's exactly my point. What does Trump lose, exactly, if he makes an immediate post on Truth Social saying the judges are fags and can blow him?

Who would impeach?

One of the things I've been genuinely looking forward and hoping with this bill and this is how they react. I hate them. I hate them so God damn much.
I hope the senate gets the SHORT act in too and get pissy about that, although I think it's a coin flip they even realize what it means enough to make an outraged claim against it.

I love that so many people are openly talking about (and recommending) just fucking ignoring these idiot judges and carrying on anyway. It's entered the mainstream consciousness and I don't think these judges quite understand how dangerous that is. This is "jury nullification" on steroids, and judges already hate nullification. They should be scared shitless that the public at large is losing its willingness to respect and obey the courts.

All it takes for a district court to become utterly toothless is for its city/county police/sheriff departments to stop enforcing its orders. If these judges keep pissing everyone off like that, they're going to discover how far their gavels go when there's no guns backing them up.

been saying this for a little while now, there should be exactly 9 FEDERAL judges

rest should be called state judges and be immediately responsible to their states legislature as well as federal supervision and of course the people at the end of the day with ZERO power to make rulings that go beyond their own state borders

Here's a link to the PDF of the summary.
It's 58 pages long.

You would think they would at least wait until trade negotiations either conclude or fully stall to demand the US capitulate all trade leverage, but I guess it is too much to expect them to actually look out for the interests of the country.

Legitimacy. Every time these judges make a stupid ruling it burns their credibility. He's Trolling them to kill themselves. Remember he's the god of Trolling.

That's only true if he proves it by telling them to enforce it, if they can.

It's kind of like edging. There comes a point where the thing goes numb and sensation is just gone. You have to blow the load at some point.

Yea fuck the judges but to me this crisis is a symptom of the non or malfunctioning of Congress. It’s never ideal for a branch to be a rubber stamp, but a legislature the President’s party controls should have a productive relationship with the President. Their own infighting and corruption and incompetence mixes with the filibuster and other obstructions from the other side to make that impossible.

Honestly even right now I feel like both the executive and judicial branches are actually functioning pretty well and doing their jobs. But without congress doing theirs then anyone with an urge to implement the agenda the voters want is going to be frustrated.

 

[X Prime]

It's nothing but a symptom of treating liberals and globalists as human, when they are not and deserve nothing but scorn.

Fair rebuttal. I'm not sure anyone knows the answer to that question, but I'm curious to find out. If there's historical precedent (specific to the United States) then I'd very much like to know more.

Things have been hitting different recently. The vitriol has gotten even more intense than it was during the buildup to the election, which I'd scarcely have believed possible back then. The silence before the storm is over and I can't help but notice that both sides have dropped masks and are openly crying for blood. Trump has this mesmerizing power to make people say the quiet part out loud.

Japan is famous for their hatred of Fascists and National Socialists. They even declared war on them in 1941!
