Jail them for contempt. That should force some motion...

The willingness to lie and disregard the Constitution are job requirements for the current administration.

I've thought many times that no matter how corrupt Trump's underlings seem, they usually find their limit at some point when getting orders from him. Almost all of them eventually get asked to do something they aren't willing to.

This is crazy. We know this is wrong.

Am I the only one who thinks the guys they sent to El Salvador are dead, and they know it. That’s why they are stone walling.

I hope they are alive but, I think they are dead.

more than a betrayal, i think; isn't it also likely to end up with threats of violence to oneself and one's loved ones? it's enough to make one think of jimmy hoffa, whitey bulger, and al capone, except they all faced consequences.

When it comes to trump, judges have demonstrated time and time again, attorneys for the government can do or say whatever the fuck they want, from lying to stochastic terror.

Sauer argued that trump can murder his rivals, and the judges didn’t even blink. The courts are as worthless as Garland.

Truth and Trust are so nearly Trump yet so very far away. For him, they are but tools of deception, weaknesses that he can exploit.

Aww the whinny orange baby need a diaper change? Did the big grown up people who are doing the right things scare you?
Well, tough gahungas bud. You wrought this on yourself. Now, man up and learn to deal with life! Just get over the fact that life isn't always fair and move on. We're tired of you.

The Rule of law is no longer applicable in the USA, unless you somehow wronged Trump.

ohthenicki.bsky.social•1 day ago

trump has made his rules, it’s time for US to make our rules, follow our laws. We have to do something now.

trump will tell them what to say, nothing will happen to him. What will happen to the lawyers? They lied for him shouldn’t they be held accountable? Someone has to be made an example now.

Don’t let them tell you they can’t get him back.

The US is paying El Salvador approximately $6 million to house deported Venezuelan gang suspects in a prison known as CECOT. This amounts to about $25,000 per detainee, which is significantly lower than the average cost of U.S. prison facilities.
