🤣 😂 😆…they are idiots aren’t they?

anonymoustroll.bsky.social•4 days ago

The word you might use is perjury?

What's the threshold for disbarment?

matthewbriceak.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump is rubbing it into the nose of the courts. Just daring them to call him on it. And let's be real. For the past 10+ years Trump has been right over and over. No one will hold him accountable.

Are laws even a thing anymore?

tuningfork.bsky.social•1 day ago

This should test the law... Or reveal its complicit weakness...

marcysh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh ego you are such a rascal.

iamdeuce.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think it’s almost the point… it doesn’t fucking matter. Who is gonna do something about it?

lordgreystoke61.bsky.social•4 days ago

It also helps the information lawsuits.

larsson.org•4 days ago

Which DOGE? There are at least two official ones. The US Doge Service, which I assume suddenly is led by Amy since forever, and the US Doge Service Temporary Organization, which may or may not be led by Felon Musk. Or its plain DOGE as a private illegal Musk project I guess.

DOGE staff email list anyone? Saw it on X and Facebook. Not sure if True but here. #DOGE

I wonder what each of the Supreme Court Justices are thinking during the speech. Like, Roberts: "oh, ugh, that's going to be a toughie". Or Kagan: "oooh, hot diggity!".

Elon Musk’s government layoffs backfire as lawsuits mount, Trump shifts blame, and SpaceX & Tesla nosedive. Chaos, firings, and billionaire tantrums—welcome to America’s worst-run HR department.

This administration lies so much that they can’t keep their lies straight.

missdemocracy2024.bsky.social•4 days ago

Excellent! Thanks for sharing this.
Very important detail indeed! Their own stupidity will come back to them and be the reason for their own defeat!

youtackything.bsky.social•4 days ago

He has no intention of complying with court orders.

This is flagrant enough that it *might* piss Roberts off.

bisongirl82.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nah. Roberts is complicit.

Who tf cares when they are rooting out incredible abuse of our taxpayer dollars? Latest example:

jimpas.bsky.social•1 day ago

And who cares that they (tRUMP-Musk) are rife with abuse of our taxpayer dollars? Just ONE of the latest abuses: tRUMP rewrites budget to have State Dept. buy $400 million worth of armored Teslas from Musk. They worded it so ONLY Musk's Telsa would qualify. Incredible waste... er... corruption!

timjones1.bsky.social•1 day ago

That was under Biden, as most people already know. Trump admin cancelled it and it was never $400 million. Try again

nogodsamongus.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’s currently spewing massive nonsense bullshit about social security dispersion to 190 years old. wtf is wrong with this syphaliss ridden fucktwat I’m sure X ‘s nazi bots are all buzzing about.

As Musk slashes 70,000+ workers from the VA, including suicide hotline workers, we can always fix it later if we see people are dying.

Musk wouldn't know this (nor would he care):
❗ >125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001
❗about 6,000 veterans take their own lives each year

Please repost and ask others to repost. The sooner we accept this, the faster we can end it. We don’t want to wait until Putin tells him to nuke a Canadian or Mexican city.

So the DOJ lawyers lied in court. Hold them in contempt and throw them in jail.

I wish I shared your optimism. They’ll just appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, by which point the damage will have already been done.

Remove Trump, Vance, and Musk from our government. Don't cate how.

davidrlurie.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Supreme Court has said Trump's tweets don't count. Who wants to bet Roberts will rule that Trump's speeches don't count either!

keylimer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Or his words at this point.

Roberts is beyond corrupt.

davidrlurie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe Roberts will hold that Trump speeches made at night don't count because of ... sundowning.

davidrlurie.bsky.social•4 days ago

It will be deemed the unitary dementia rule.

temoenciso.bsky.social•4 days ago

Countless times we said something similar about Trump incriminating himself in some court case and nothing happen.

Not holding my breath that now something is going to happen to Musk.

jim85716.bsky.social•4 days ago

Will the judges have the stones to sanction the administration’s attorneys who lied in court?

jimpas.bsky.social•1 day ago

I doubt it. They'll simply do what Republican senators did for both tRUMP impeachments - ignore the facts and/or prevent any testimony to hear more damning facts... then declare tRUMP not guilty.
