In her lengthy ruling, U.S. district judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly dismissed the administration’s argument that the power of the presidency entitles him to tinker with voting requirements. “The President has no constitutional…

As we recently drove through Arkansas, my wife noted that Arkansas is Trump’s own. He just shit on his favs. MAGA must be proud.
I noted that hurricanes mostly hit red states like Florida, Lousiama, Alabama dnd Texas. They depend on Fema money to rebuild every year. Already it is very expensive to buy insurance in Florda. MAGA needs assistance from the rest of America. Without FEMA and insurance many will simply move out. Who will do Trump’s boat parades then?

I can bet with confidence that he will thumb his nose at the judge and push forward with his vision.

“The President has no constitutional power over…”
This Constitution thing is really getting under their skin by now. Not to mention female judges slapping them around. They’re thinking late into the night about what to do about it, but lucky for us thinking for them is the rough equivalent of farting into a hose attached to a face mask.

The cracks are starting to widen, the court losses are beginning to stack up, the aura of invincibility is fading…keep kicking the fascist regime in the nuts and we may be able to limit some of the damage.
But, keep kicking. Hard.

Still, I sent up my prayers
Wondering where it had to go
With heaven full of astronauts
And the Lord on death row.

The delicious irony about this denial of assistance is that, in addition to her constant online brays and praise, Queen Sarah had spent a lot of time out of the state traveling the MAGAt circuit cheerleading for the Pharaoh of FEMA Funds.
And his reply to his former crackerjack Press Secretary’s pleading for aid? “Do I know you? Phuck off, phool.”

Has topical news of the disastrous measles outbreak die in the news topics-cycle such as home insurance in Florida, or soon autos won’t go anywhere-type stories? In a border Texan town where a measles outbreak was discovered a Mexican town nearby is virus free. Rumors of still more complicated pregnancies (from measles) where the vaccine is banned by the rebuplicans in Texas but not in the Mexican border town are adding up. Could be major issue for the trump media to paper over once again.

It seems that most of the judges refusing to go along with Trump’s autocratic attempts are women. That’s gotta bug him tremendously.

Ark. Sen.Tom Cotton is hoping there can be some exceptions for his state with its rash of destructive tornadoes and floods when FEMA is hobbled.
Take it up with Donald and Elon, pencil-neck.

He lies and tries to use powers not granted to the office? I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you! As another poster noted, we have to keep kicking him in the nards. Perhaps then he’ll get the message. 37/57? Great numbers, Donnie. Now shut the eff up.
