So much winning.
Why every ruling is against Trump? Why? The system must be rigged!
Sure. It’s either an Obama judge, or maybe a Bush judge, or a “Democrat” judge, or a liberal judge or a judge legislating from the bench or a Mexican judge or a “so-called judge” or a whatever judge because Trump has a lot of enemies due to envy of his awesomeness. It’s very easy to see once you understand the principles at work here.
By my count, that’s his third loss in the federal courts just this week. It’s a ray of hope because I’d like to think even the Supreme Court would be loathe to interfere with Congress’s Article 1 power of the purse just to appease Trump. But, then again, I’ve learned anything goes with Republicans in their quest to bend justice for power.
I’m no longer concerned about the Wall. Litigation will keep everything tied up past the 2020 election, at which point either it will be cancelled by the incoming President, or a stupid wall will be the least of our worries.
OT, but apparently there was an earthquake in Japan right before Air Farce One landed. The gods are not happy, and Godzilla is expected next. Maybe Mothra too.
Derpodynamics.
This is the one that I think they’ll side with Congress on, after all, Congress has their purse strings as well, and if the Supremes were to fuck with that power, there’s no limit to what a vengeful president could do to the Judiciary.
“the Court has serious concerns with Defendants’ theory of appropriations law.”
I have serious concerns with the Supreme Court’s theories of religious freedom, post-racial, voting rights, abortion and myriad other issues that directly affect both daily life and the long term prospects of a government committed to “form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” But that’s just my innate aversion to an inhuman autocracy.
The actual wall won’t be built to any significant degree, but the theatrics and politics behind it matter. Trump absolutely needs to have a “win” here for 2020, as it was his signature issue in 2016. He can’t afford to be seen as incompetent or weak on this issue.
Haha there’s a movie trope drawn straight from nightmares where the escape method is just pathetically slow compared to the onrushing danger. So I had a vision of a golf cart with a panicked fat president in it trying to flee Godzilla’s stomping feet. Man! That’d be a socko sequence there!
And did you catch the presser where Trump was only aware that there was some big thing going on over in Japan, something bigger than the Superbowl? But couldn’t explain anything about oh, I dunno, a new Emperor or anything…
True. But alas, he very much is those things. The things he can’t afford to be seen as are the things he can’t avoid being. That was always his fatal flaw, not knowing what an incredible fake and loser he is anywhere but deep down.
No! Sounds like a hoot, though—do you remember where you saw it? Boy does not pay attention in class, got to mark him absent even when he’s there.
Definitely would be interesting to see a version of Godzilla where it’s the hero of the story…
Maybe that’s why he likes the portraits so much, they are fake versions of him that he can portray in his pee brain as not incompetent and losery.
Do you have WaPo? Didn’t find video, only read about it.
“[T]he reality is that Congress was presented with—and declined to grant—a $5.7 billion request for border barrier construction,” Gilliam wrote.
Reality? What is this thing called reality of which you speak? We don’t need no stinking reality.
Is that cousin to entrumpy -where organizations get more chaotic and disordered over time?
