Trump during the 2016 campaign: “I have never seen a human being sweat like this man sweats. … It looked like he had just jumped into a swimming pool with his clothes on.”

She is insulted and so am I. The look she is giving only reflects her feeling after seeing his ugly mug. If this job doesn’t work out he can be the next “Lurch” if they ever redo The Adams Family.

Never besmirch this sweet feline again! :crying_cat_face:

Where does the “censoring Americans” come through? But if Little Marco really is making that his hill to die on, then the felon is top on the list on censors, no?

How often ugliness breeds bitterness. The reactionaries are always misfits. Trump in high society, Hitler as an Aryan.

The human animal, in my experiece, rarely wields power well.

Will the orcs respect blue slip tradition? Laughter. Will Nosferatu with a bit of hair recuse when the case involves his master? More laughter. Will the judiciary still exist as something more than an assembly of orange kangaroos in 3 1/2 years? Same answer, but getting less funny by the day.

Agree ! Bove looks like a Mafioso “second story man” if I have ever seen one. He deserves a place on the bench about as much as Charles Manson or one of the Gambino family thugs. He is a “Thug from birth”. Definitely NOT a Judge.

I have heard many words to describe this cat, but you are the first to use “sweet”. :grinning: And likely the last. To quote the late, great Jim Croce, she is “meaner than a junkyard dog.”

Slightly O/T, but have you seen this? I’m seeing very little about it, unless I search for it specifically (though I might not be reading as much as I should) and it seems like potentially a big deal. In the Big Bill. As in no more problems with those pesky courts. Is this as bad as it appears? If so, shouldn’t it be the #1 topic being written/talked about everywhere? Or is it a completely unpassable nothingburger? Seeking perspective.

“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security [bond] was given [it’s usually not asked for] when the injunction or order was issued,” reads Section 70302 of the so-called One Big, Beautiful Bill Act."

Dems all voted for Rubio, right?

Yeah, it’s a bad thing for a nation to arrest some grad student for writing an op-ed in a student newspaper criticizing a government policy, that’s a violation of the principles of free speech and democracy.

Oh, wait…I guess this only applies to nations besides the US, where we apparently don’t care anymore about niceties like freedom of speech.

Likely Unconstitutional and also will not pass the “Byrd Bath” which culls extraneous measures or language from Senate bills intended for passage under reconciliation which must deal ONLY with budget issues.

He loses again. Tariffs are illegal and blocked!

Per Curiam: The Constitution assigns Congress the exclusive powers to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.” U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cls. 1, 3. The question in the two cases before the court is whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”) delegates these powers to the President in the form of authority to impose unlimited tariffs on goods from nearly every country in the world. The court does not read IEEPA to confer such unbounded authority and sets aside the challenged tariffs imposed there under.
