Time for another lawsuit.

Case 4,753 he'll lose. Someone should start a tax loss litigation calculator to track how much this fuckery is costing us.

TIME FOR ANOTHER LAWSUIT

senorsabelotodo.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Motherfucker.

The time for action is now.

dhfeldman.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I wonder how long this will take to work through the system back up to the Supreme Court. Long enough, I'm sure, for the president to do a lot of damage. And then, if the SCOTUS overturns Humphrey's Executor v. US, he begins America's experiment with executive dictatorship.

rodeoclown2.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Out of control. Time for the spineless GOP to act.

socialcat.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Another lawsuit will happen, I'm sure.

So much winning!

That is not a reason to fire. If so the post master general should have gone.

(202) 224-3121 We all need to memorize this # & call it everyday to voice our objectives. Blue or red, call your Senators & reps !!! Demand that they do not support DT agenda!!! Tell them they will lose your votes. They need to be more afraid of their constituents than DT. Call your AG & Gov too!

yona75.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Being as the law was on THEIR side, how did they refuse the firing? Did they just walk out without creating a scene???

When will some resemblance of government rull the reigns in on this guy. All these action appear to be part of "official duties" which I believe the Supreme Court did not say he had immunity from.

i can't believe the future of this country lays on the shoulders of john roberts and amy coney barrett

cindycoffell.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I never thought I’d call on John Robert’s to save the day but what ever , right?

chicagojcb.bsky.social•4 hours ago

He *is* concerned about his legacy. History will not smile on a court that fucks up the constitution.

cindycoffell.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Just bizarre that he’s the only persons concerned with their legacy at this point. Senators, congressmen, governors and business icons. All selling their souls and democracy with it.

just-a-taurust.bsky.social•3 hours ago

They don’t care about their legacy because the “winner writes history”. These fucking degenerates will make them self look noble and just.

chicagojcb.bsky.social•2 hours ago

They shouldn't be so sure they will win on the long run. The history they are rewriting now (example: the DoD history website) can be fixed.

thebestsouthpaw.bsky.social•3 hours ago

They are selling out to grow their power. Roberts already possesses great power. He has a very personal interest in retaining it.

In case anyone needed reminding, the FTC also protects America from telemarketers.

iwanttobecanadian.bsky.social•2 hours ago

If he gets away with this we might as well all find another country to go to because we are ALL in danger. He has completely lost it. Cognitive decline, increased erratic behavior and impulsivity, inability to make rational decisions, sociopathy and psychopathy. We got trouble…..

Trump won't ever leave. He's crossed the Rubicon, right? Purging all DEM commissioners wherever they can be found invites retaliation someday, but only if there is another fair election. Trump will smash what he can knowing that the DEMs won't be allowed to reciprocate. "Fascist to the core."

So now only the deals that Trump wants to see done will happen. All others face FTC/DOJ scrutiny. We're already living in a full fledged autocracy.

bogoss27.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Now this is truly weaponizing the government and ruling like a dictator. Anyone who has spoken or speaks against Donald gets an almost immediate retribution. It doesn’t matter what bs explanations they provide, the actions they have been taking speak for themselves.

The rule of law is dead in the US. This all aligns to Project 2025 and Dark Enlightenment (NRx) stated goals. A neo-feudalistic state run by autocratic oligarchs. Blatantly ignoring the judiciary is key. We can’t be surprised - Vance has said publicly that that should be the approach

papajohn72.bsky.social•3 hours ago

So when it ends up in the supreme court’s hands they will rule he’s covered by the immunity bullshit they gave him and the 90 year-old ruling isn’t enforceable against a 78 year old fucking asshole pretending to be the ruler of the world. I hope his support for the 2nd. Amendment comes back on him.
