Donald Trump Personally Thanks John Roberts For Keeping Him Out Of Jail: 'I Won't Forget It'

There’s talk this morning of the tariffs being considerably downgraded, because supposedly, “he’s made his point.”

My position with Trump 2.0 is don’t assume he’ll go forward with all the horribles he promised during the election, but don’t be remotely surprised at anything he does, on a scale of ‘not’ to ‘horrible’ to ‘holocaust’. I’ll believe the tariffs when that particular opera is over, but all we know now is that we’re in Act II out of ??

True, but OTOH, he got 4 SC justices to state that federal courts shouldn’t be enforcing congressional spending AND to insult the federal judge who made that ruling.

Trump will have 7 or 8 justices in his hip pocket before his term ends. At that point SCOTUS can bequeath the office of the President monarch powers, and Congress will be just be someplace you aspire to reach to set up personal grifts.
I also think the 10th Amendment gets kicked to the curb. Once Trump starts agitating to free cronies in jail on State charges, some sort of work around will be created that allows him to pardon State crimes.

And, coming as it does from Canada, that’s the polite version of the good professor’s thoughts.

How long did the bumbler in chief speak?

That is going to burn Roberts for a long time.

Nonsense. That will burnish Justice John’s rep as a hero of the maga movement. Every well-funded door will be open to him. Make way for $50M speaking engagements. We must never forget… these people have no sense of shame.

Is there anything left to be funded? I suspect the horse is gone or the the horse is still in the barn, the latter having burned down.

Mr. Peabody’s coal train done hauled it away.

Thank you for posting - a much needed espresso of sanity and reality to start the day!

I think just under two hours - he beat Clinton’s record.

How long is infinity?

He’ll have to top Thomas and get some billionaire to “sell” him a personal Lear jet, and finance it for him. A loan which will quietly be forgiven.

Exactly. It’s almost always, “What will Trump do next?” To become obsessed with why he does things, is not helpful and will just drive you crazy.

The Destruction

• Federal Buildings: The General Services Administration first posted online a list of federal buildings for sale, including DOJ, DOL, and Census Bureau headquarters before revising the list and then ultimately removing it from the GSA website.

Gee, I hope they weren’t offended. I got a “How can we improve this web page” questionnaire. I asked if they could include the addresses on the “To loot list” in order to simplify making inspections of my potential booty easier."

Why not sell the Capitol bldg. Be a great site for a mall. House chamber a furniture store, Senate chamber a hardware store the Rotunda space to be an upscale eatery.

this kid needs some sort of divine intervention.

Don’t we all. I’d settle for a lightning bolt to the Oval Office.

[srfromgr]

OMFG. He has to try to outdo everything for the worse…or is it for the worst? Usually I look these things up.

Sabotage in France.

@ClutchCargo

My take on this boondoggle of selling off federal office buildings - some property management company will buy them up and lease them back to the government at a tidy profit.

When a business starts looking at creative ways to monetize assets, sell.

Dammit! I need some free days off!

[ralph_vonholst]

The French invented sabotage.

Supreme Court rules against tRump holding back 2 billion of foreign aid!

Maybe Musk and/or Kushner already bought them.
