Let’s not forget that the courts are doing their job. Congress folded on Inauguration Day. All of Congress should be embarrassed and their day will come. All GOP representatives should be investigated when this is done.

This is the toddler tantrum to get his way. It the last trick out of his bag. Let’s be the adult. Let him have his tantrum then slap him with contempt.

joedirtinthehole.bsky.social•44 days ago

So if contempt... Marshalls? No one?

The Supreme Court emboldened these idiots so now it's fuck you and you will pay if you don't do what we say or get out of our way...

Thank you Supreme Court

At what point do you all or 6 of you have a holy shit what have we done moment?

He said he was going to be a dictator. His party sat with him *in court while he was found guilty of being a fraud, again. They supported his coup, they cover for his coup. They’ve been dissolving agencies and firing thousands of Americans via a nongov’tal klan of techbros, and kidnapping people.

It is not unusual for CRIMINALS to defy the law!

GOP CRIMINALS DEFY THE LAW!

Hanging fixes fascism...

Bring Trump to court!! He is doing this because he doesn't want to admit he made a mistake!

In the absence of any consequences whatsoever, what else would one expect?

Totalitarianism!

So-if he doesn’t have to obey ANYTHING? Then by proxy, we-none of us- have obey HIM!

A mentally unstable president becomes combative. And soon he’ll have to punish the American people with some type retribution. Sounds just like a dictator. Impeach the president.

Is anyone going to do something or just continue to post on social media for brownie points?

Is the Times waiting for them to say the words "I defy" before it will just recognize it for what it is?

mdavey10.bsky.social•44 days ago

I think calling a complete denial of a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling has gone beyond the “cusp of defiance.”

lynnchan.bsky.social•44 days ago

Asking for 340 million Americans, most of whom are not attorneys. . .

Is outright defiance of court orders a “high crime”?

Can Cabinet attorneys be disbarred for outright defiance?

"The cusp"

fconijn.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm wondering whether the US Supreme Court can order the arrest of the POTUS. Does anyone know?

jcools.bsky.social•44 days ago

At the cusp? It IS outright defiance! The foot dragging was already beyond the pale and would have been major news in normal times. Stop grading on a curve, our nation is in crisis and people need to know the truth.

thelocalcrank.bsky.social•44 days ago

If you are being ordered by your oligarchs not to say "fascism," please blink twice

fritzdcat.bsky.social•44 days ago

Cusp???????

scoffmantx.bsky.social•44 days ago

it was always defiance…report the truth

jamin80.bsky.social•44 days ago

This is ridiculous. He's not "flirting" with anything. This is the plan, and plans take time. Everything else is either a distraction or a grift, but he has every intention to defy the courts and take control. This kind of tepid hand-wringing solves nothing.

medicareboy.bsky.social•44 days ago

Cusp? Way beyond cusp...

lawrencelipkin.bsky.social•43 days ago

Peter Vichy Baker - such studied neutrality…GFY
