Trump’s clash with the courts escalates

A flurry of orders from federal district judges has slowed Trump’s most controversial initiatives — prompting talk of outright defiance.

That was the whole point of the exercise! Except, of course, for creating safe haven for Muskrats and his criminal operations.

Trump has no respect for the law or the courts. He will continue to push that envelope until he has what he wants.

Follow the money here
Outright defiance and palpable disruption of the constitutional order will not be good for business; will not be good for the billionaire class; somebody’s gonna flinch

ddmcd.bsky.social•11 days ago

The MAGAts defense of these illegal orders is telling -- increasingly they are just a variation of "we won so we can do anything we want," with no real attempt to argue about legality.

elkiemom.bsky.social•11 days ago

He knows they cannot force him to comply. These cases will end up in front of the corrupt asf SCOTUS who will then rule for the King they created. Checkmate. I hate this.

Let’s send in Gort!

luful.bsky.social•11 days ago

He thinks he is immune! Above the law
Able to do anything he wants!
Now where did he get this idea? Supreme Court maybe? 🤔

susanlois.bsky.social•11 days ago

He’s only immune from prosecution for official presidential duties.

luful.bsky.social•11 days ago

The courts decide which ones are or not !

susanlois.bsky.social•11 days ago

DOJ has set aside his indictments in order to allow him to become president, even though there is overwhelming evidence of election fraud and hacking. But if he breaks another law, that’s outside of his official duties, I see no reason why he can’t be arrested immediately. Aside from corruption.

Can you point me towards any evidence the judicial orders have slowed admin initiatives? Did the Treasury turn back on any funding? Not trying to be doom speaking. Genuinely asking.

rowdishrebel.bsky.social•11 days ago

Don’t let it be just talk, it must become outright #Defiance

From #Resistance to #Defiance in under a month since Musk’s inauguration and autocratic coup!

howardbeale.bsky.social•11 days ago

in Saul alinsky's book rules for radicals, there was an early on confrontation with some judges. and the end result was, had they just said "fuck you" a whole domino effect of things may not have happened

howardbeale.bsky.social•11 days ago

is it defiance if it's the law?
defiance, it's tough to find a more neutral tone. adherents?

akchaos.bsky.social•12 days ago

Does anyone really think he gives a rat's ass about what the courts think or do? Really? Dictators just don't care about any of that legal BS.

vanillarage.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump played the brash, naughty boy who "tells it like it is," rallying fans by hating who they hate. "I'm one of you!" Democrats, lost in weak messaging, failed to inspire change.
So was it GOP success or Dem failure? In the end,Trump didn’t rise—we stumbled.
Elections aren't won-they're lost!

muzikmomma21.bsky.social•11 days ago

And the next thing he will do is recklessly fire government workers. The house oversight committee witness just said firing us does not get rid of fraud waste and abuse and in fact does the opposite - COST MONEY!

gdad213.bsky.social•11 days ago

so what do we do when, at some point very soon, he just sticks his tiny middle finger up and waves it at the courts? asking for the country...

onioneyes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Hold our wrists out for the shackles, or mass protests. One is obviously more beneficial.

onioneyes.bsky.social•12 days ago

I've got the fever for mass protests.

Someone, please show him a picture of Mussolini, his last day when the people spoke their concerns.

musycks.bsky.social•11 days ago

And as Trump enters the 'ignore the courts' phase of the administrative putsch, he should be charged with criminal offense.
Oh, except another court of lifetime, unelected swill has made him immune.
That's some system you got there.
Charge Musk at least.

nancytara.bsky.social•11 days ago

The Supremes did not define “official acts” Charge trump and challenge the court to define which of his unlawful acts are immune. Some, all, none? Make them spell it out.

susanlois.bsky.social•11 days ago

It’s obvious that Trump will not take no for an answer, because Putin will not take no for an answer. Since 2016 TrumpPutin has refused to accept defeat. He breaks laws. He’s running from the law. He’s hiding evidence and ending investigations. He’s a tyrant, who uses force and lies cheats & steals

kepi1107.bsky.social•12 days ago

🦋Now what? Unless Congress suddenly grows a spine it's all going nowhere and he'll just become more emboldened...unless the entire United States of America stands up to him together all at once...🇺🇸

tj-tarheel.bsky.social•11 days ago

We all know Trump has no respect for the law and his fans see him as their hero against compliance with any and all law. Trump always does what he wants with no consideration of consequences because he never suffers any. Teflon Don-Donald

cannonpinion.bsky.social•12 days ago

Did he just let it slip that he’s worried he’s losing momentum?

Excellent, then it’s working. Hit him again.

travisfaction.bsky.social•11 days ago

At this point he got away with a whole insurrection, I feel doomed

beltwayskeptic.bsky.social•11 days ago

As citizens of the U.S. we should be acceptable parties “having standing” by a Judge evaluating the legality of a suit brought against Trump for treason and other illegal acts. Bsky should talk to Rep. Raskin about how we initiate a suit brought by at least 30 million Baky signatures. Any interest?

brynfrieda.bsky.social•11 days ago

Lock the traitor up for contempt of court and treason.

treborscars.bsky.social•12 days ago

The more he goes to court to fight the more he gets his orange face back in the media
This is what it needs to fully put to bed him and Musk
Sorry but I have no feelings for the two IDIOTS

gulliaz.bsky.social•11 days ago

What do we expect from a FELON 🙄

azjpm.bsky.social•12 days ago

Lets hope these orders are not like trying to capture water with a colander.

If Trump does not obey these court orders, there should be serious consequences for this piece of shit.

lilmermaid.bsky.social•11 days ago

Sure. Just like before. Smdh

sequelae.bsky.social•12 days ago

What are we going to do when he won't recognize the courts orders and tells US Marshall not to enforce them? We must be ready

zanaoblas.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, he’ll defy! At this stage he truly believes he’s omnipotent and completely above it all.

ketmga.bsky.social•12 days ago

When he doesn't get his way, he acts like a baby. Whine and complain.

davidicouldbewrong.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump is going to bring out country to its knees. https://cbwrong.blogspot.com/?m=1

daves211.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump was basically threatening judges on live TV. This isn’t the first time, either.

foreidaho.bsky.social•12 days ago

I have yet to see any evidence of fraud. All I have seen is musk’s children breaking into US computers. I’m curious to see whether I will get my Social Security check tomorrow.

dh444.bsky.social•12 days ago

There is no fraud. It’s all a ruse. Fingers crossed for everyone expecting social security checks.

sequelae.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's an undermining of checks and balances... not just your "check."

FUCKING ARREST HIM!

bearkat1983.bsky.social•12 days ago

If we’re relying on the SCOTUS or other courts to stop him, we’re in big trouble. As long as the spineless, gutless ass-kissing GOP remains complicit, the entirety of the system is doomed to failure.

Go ahead, Donny. FAFO

retvet.bsky.social•11 days ago

Trump will just write more EOs... Will end up in Supreme court... legal team says he'll win 80%... meanwhile dems spend lots on legal fees... with not much to show..

Judicial branch cannot tell executive branch how to do their job.

Separation of powers😁

kevswatching.bsky.social•11 days ago

These judges will begin to disappear and reappear in prison!
Trump is Hitler on steroids.
Only difference is this time he has nukes, and an itch to use them!
The fight against them is about to get real!

sfcaptbonespurs.bsky.social•12 days ago

When he ignores the court orders, WHAT DO WE DO?

onioneyes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Mass protests in the streets, or hold your wrists out for the shackles.

oldtony.bsky.social•11 days ago

The minute that the orange felon disobeys a court order is when someone needs to step in with the military and remove him.

Won't be any GOP members, it'll have to be a Dem, but who's got the courage to do it?

leechamberland.bsky.social•11 days ago

I've yet to see one center dem provide leadership on this. Where are the past presidents, vice presidents, etc etc?

mabinogi62.bsky.social•12 days ago

Can someone explain to me why when Trump does something illegal and the courts issue orders, giving the parties their due process...the media newspeaks it into "outright defiance"....as if Trump is entitled to do what he is doing? As if behaving like a dictator is normal.

shorty-jibz.bsky.social•12 days ago

@politico.com you might want to tell the orange Di-k bag if he is having trouble moving slowly. Try eating more fiber

sheaster.bsky.social•11 days ago

The courts better start strategizing, if they haven't already, about what can be done to actually enforce the law once trump refuses to follow the law...which he will do.

meemawlisa.bsky.social•12 days ago

And what happens if he and elon still refuse to stop? What. Take away their crayons? Or timeout? They know nothing will get done about them refusing to follow a judge.

hubertl75.bsky.social•12 days ago

The USA is making enormous mistakes by overestimating itself, underestimating its friends and allies, and trying to rule the world with a gangster-like approach.

elkiemom.bsky.social•11 days ago

TRUMP is making enormous mistakes etc etc etc

susanlois.bsky.social•11 days ago

There’s nothing wrong with the Democratic Party but we do need to get a little more aggressive. Republicans are now the gangster party/ the American Nazi Party. There will need to be a new Republican Party that’s called something new -that’s not the Nazi party. The Republican party is dead.

susanlois.bsky.social•11 days ago

It’s the Republican Party and a delusional president who’s overestimating themselves and underestimating our friends and allies

hubertl75.bsky.social•11 days ago

I know, because I know and love the USA.

But for most citizens of the world, this is all the work of Americans. The distinction between parties is not made.

bearkat1983.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think America (we) have underestimated the depths of Trump’s depravity and lust for power and the level of spineless complicity of the GOP.

nojustdan.bsky.social•12 days ago

Vastly underestimated.

lilmermaid.bsky.social•11 days ago

Probably. But I still think there were physical threats also…

hubertl75.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's ridiculous. You saw him the first time and you knew it had to be worse in his second and last "tour de force".

bearkat1983.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, I did, but my vote only counts once. America decided they wanted cheaper eggs and gas and was willing to accept the cruelty, hatred, racism and incompetence. I’m embarrassed to admit this is my country.

toucan-bran.bsky.social•11 days ago

He thinks he’s so fucking tough. POS. Lock his ass up!

Prompting talk? They have already been caught lying, and have defied court orders. Already past the talking bits.

The Oval Office Gangster has to answer to the People.

And they can do it through (violent) revolution.

Outside of the Constitution, you say, MAGA?

Trump needs to know that we won’t take what he’s doing lying down. We will resist.

gonzoinhouston.bsky.social•12 days ago

Good! The sooner we have the confrontation the better. At some point Trump will have to suspend the Constitution, and to get away with it he needs to purge/replace law enforcement and the military. Force his hand before he’s ready!

sequelae.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's only a matter of time before he directly challenges the authority of the courts.

ddmcd.bsky.social•11 days ago

Doing it now. MAGAts' defense is "we won."

jcwoodman.bsky.social•11 days ago

If THEY Defy the Courts then we must act!
Resist
Do NOT Comply
Federal TAX Strike!
Pay NO Federal Taxes!
Withhold until they RESTORE lawfully approved Funding!

10 years later and his criming is "prompting talks"

cool cool

ffs

silentpro.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's the next logical step. Defy the judiciary, and that will officially kick off the coup and dictatorship!

veltklemmema.bsky.social•11 days ago

Which would be illegal

upchuck66.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is there one ethical, pro-Democracy, rule of law, anti-Fascist U.S. Marshal that a Federal Judge can send to arrest the Orc for contempt?

mykahsgg.bsky.social•12 days ago

Arrest his arse. That would happen to most of us if we defied a court order. Better yet, impeach him and deport him to some uninhabited island, with his side chick Elonia.

garyrsimonds.bsky.social•12 days ago

Arrest him

gunterplayer80.bsky.social•12 days ago

If we only had a way to remove this orange blob from office. Throw him and musk in the same cell to see who flips first. That would be hilarious.

maryjane53.bsky.social•12 days ago

So are they complying?? I just can't keep up with all this craziness!!

talebender.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is prob’ly too simple-minded, but…..
POTUS defies Courts; US Marshalls defy DOJ order to ignore Courts, and uphold law; military leaders defy orders of corrupt SecDef, and uphold law.
Am I stupid to think they might honour their oath to the Constitution?
