  2. 6 of the supreme court is in love with Trump. They don’t care what he does.

  3. I doubt the Trump Administration has ever told a single truth to SCOTUS or the American people.

  4. At this point he could kill a justice without any repercussions.

  6. Free to read version here: https://archive.is/m0ZzK

    Think these are maybe the most relevant bits

    >This is the case involving the federal unions’ challenge to the administration’s mass layoffs. It’s a follow-on from the Supreme Court pausing Judge Illston’s decision blocking an executive order that had instructed these agencies to provide plans for reductions in force and agency restructuring.

    >The government, she noted, had told the Supreme Court that her initial order—which the Supreme Court stayed—affected 40 proposed reductions in force in 17 agencies. That mattered, because when the Supreme Court stayed her order, it found that the likelihood of “irreparable harm” weighed in favor of the government. The size of her order’s impact purportedly mattered in their analysis.

    >But Judge Illston discovered that those numbers were wrong: There’s actually only 31 reductions in force applicable to 10 agencies. The government boosted the numbers in each category.

    >So the government made it sound like it was facing significantly worse “harm”—if we’re defining harm as being unable to unlawfully purge civil servants from the federal workforce—and ran to the Supreme Court jumping up and down with these eye-popping numbers. And Judge Illston came back and said: Those numbers were obviously wrong. And the fact that they were wrong shows exactly why I am allowing this discovery, because you are not giving the whole truth.

  7. Several of them are his personal attorneys, lying to them doesn’t really matter much.

  8. If they had any teeth we would have seen them by now.

  9. He keeps on saying he’s bringing in billions because of the tariffs but the buyers in the US are paying for it even if the businesses are holding off raising the price. MAGA will deny this, acting like the money is coming in from the exporter. Ultimately, the US consumer will pay if they want the imported product. He even had the nerve to brag about the soy farmers from last term that the US farmers ended up losing big time. And he bailed them out with taxpayer money. This has been a disaster.

  11. And once again Joe Public just sits back and does nothing. Stupidity and apathy right off the scale. Why are they not storming the streets?? I know this much: the American public deserves to sink and disappear into the deepest black hole possible. Good effing riddance!
