Of Course It Did: Trump Tantrum Led To Reversal on Law Firm Appeals

Originally published at: Trump Tantrum Led To Reversal on Law Firm Appeals

‘I Never Signed Off On That’ Duh. In the madcap world of the Trump II White House, you knew that President Trump had to be the cause of last week’s humiliating DOJ reversal of its appeal in the law firm executive order cases. And now it’s confirmed. Within 24 hours, Pam Bondi’s Justice Department went…

Not all attacks involve bombs and missiles

But that appears to have changed Wednesday, with what appears to have been a different type of attack that also deleted information from devices. A Stryker employee, who requested to not be identified because they are not authorized to speak for the company, said that employee’s work-issued phones stopped working, grinding work and communications with colleagues to a standstill.

From FauxSnooze, no less

The Trump administration’s disclosure that 140 U.S. service members were wounded in the initial attack that killed Ayatollah Ali Khameini and other top leaders highlights the ability of even an overwhelmed enemy to inflict pain.

As President Donald Trump sends decidedly mixed messages about the duration of the war, the question hovers in the air: What amounts to winning?

On the spectrum of Trump II depredations, it’s another symptom of the underlying disease of DOJ being run out of the White House as the personal attorney of President Trump, not of the Office of the Presidency or of the public trust it represents.

“I never signed off on that,” the WSJ quotes the president as saying in an Oval Office outburst over his displeasure with DOJ leaders.

Trump then directed White House officials to tell the Justice Department to reverse itself, which White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed: “At the president’s direction, the Department of Justice quickly amended this filing.”

Not even a fig leaf.

Saying it out loud:

In a December 2025 Vanity Fair interview, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles described Donald Trump as having “an alcoholic’s personality,” despite him not drinking. She explained that, similar to her alcoholic father, Trump has an “exaggerated” personality, characterized by a belief that “there’s nothing he can’t do”.

DOJ will lose the appeal, they’ll appeal to SCOTUS, who won’t take it up and that will end those agreements with law firms as most will tear up their (unwritten and illegal) contracts. Those law firms that sued will then sue for damages, which the taxpayers will pay for … everything that Trump does costs the little guy, ordinary, non-super wealthy, taxpayers money. Repubs, tell me again how Trumpism is great for the economy? /s

Epstein shit breaking loose in New Mexico. Save this video to watch when you can.

But the obvious question is: why wasn’t the Zorro ranch searched by law-enforcement authorities when they searched Epstein’s home in New York, when they searched his home in Florida, when they searched his home on his infamous island?

Well, we now know the answer to that question - why didn’t they search the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice told the New Mexico law enforcement authorities to halt there investigation!

This video takes on this dramatic and deeply troubling new revelation.

I don’t think any country has started a war less prepared and less curious and less cognizant about the enemy’s capabilities and our potential areas of vulnerability than this one.

As little respect I have for the administration’s competence, I’m still shocked at this. But I know I shouldn’t be.

Elsewhere in the world, it’s still TFG.

… has led to human rights violations

The US response? Obviously there’s only one way to respond when it’s the UN

ETA: the escalator wasn’t broken. A White House photographer accidentally pushed the “stop” button trying to get a shot of TFG coming up.
