During the first Trump term, one study looked at the success rate of lawsuits against the administration.

In 53 of the 58 suits, Trump LOST.

And it’s going to happen again.

But will it be in time? Takes a moment to burn something down! Rebuilding takes time!

jooboo.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think he will ignore the courts going forward.

democarydefender.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thanks, Tristan, I needed to hear that. I'm still worried but I will try and keep it under control.

notsureofthings.bsky.social•12 days ago

Except now that he thinks he’s immune, he will not comply with a single court ruling that doesn’t benefit him-he’s already been caught ignoring the order to unfreeze funding

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•12 days ago

What the fuck difference does it make when nothing is ever enforced against him because the system is a motherfucking clusterfuck?

djonesbrew.bsky.social•11 days ago

of the suits where judges have ruled trump against trump, has he complied?

djonesbrew.bsky.social•11 days ago

what is the numbers for Biden, just for comparison?

dkivel.bsky.social•12 days ago

oregonkate13.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’m glad he lost most, but what is the price tag for us sucker$ paying the tab?

kilocharlie237.bsky.social•12 days ago

And what happens if a FEDERAL judge sends them to jail?

HE'LL PARDON THEM.
As many and as many times as he has to.
CHECKMATE. Now what?

janetastevenson.bsky.social•8 days ago

The only problem is that this time, he may ignore the judges’ orders. Vance has been saying he can do that for years. Vance should be disbarred.

dawildboarcjd.bsky.social•12 days ago

It has to happen again or we are going to end up being the enemy of the world.

mayaboissant.bsky.social•12 days ago

May happen again, but the difference this term is his allies have convinced Dump that he doesn't have to listen to the decisions of the courts & so he will ignore legal decisions against him. US Marshals who might stop him won't because they report to Justice Dept, which no longer dispenses justice.

anet2111.bsky.social•12 days ago

Lawsuits aren't the strength of any Trump Administration

#LitigiousDonny “loves to keep WINNING AT LOSING” w/ either time-stalling countersuits or fabricating frivolous “start the steal” voter fraud suits (losing in 61 of 62 court cases, 2020-2023)‼️
Ever since GQP-stuffed SCOTUS granted #FelonDon “executive immunity,” Trump proudly BATHES in LEGAL💩DUNG‼️

merlerip.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think you're right but now the question is: will he abide by the orders? If not, what happens then?

My lawyer brain is going haywire trying to game out the possibilities.

bpmusic.bsky.social•11 days ago

He seems to be intent on ignoring them. #felonpresident

bizfox.bsky.social•12 days ago

Unfortunately this time no one will enforce the consequences of these losses. Need to figure out how to make him obey- unlikely.Rule of law not functioning

harlanbelle.bsky.social•12 days ago

Senators: Please go to John Thune and request the Senate have secret ballot on ALL votes so that the Senators can vote on MERIT versus intimidation and extortion. Make a stink about the cowardice of the GOP. There is no transparency at this time in the Executive branch so no problem.

annjoness.bsky.social•11 days ago

To what avail? He will just ignore the outcome. He doesn’t care.

lowht.bsky.social•11 days ago

But now he owns the Supreme Court

louiseknees.bsky.social•12 days ago

The problem is that this time around they will just ignore the courts.

vaabdurahmanhassan.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's going to all of us, and a lot more. This man wants to govern as an absolute monarch-- as if he's like the King of Saudi Arabia or Jordan, for that matter. We're going to have to keep cracking up the political pressure on him, since the GOP is so feckless & is downright cowardly of a party.

carolthomas0710.bsky.social•12 days ago

But immunity....

catlady0218.bsky.social•12 days ago

No President should have total immunity while in office. Corruption should be dealt with at every level of government.

hosea6.bsky.social•12 days ago

I hope you’re right

bennydiego.bsky.social•12 days ago

Me too

jackringland.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ah yes, in the good old days when the rule of law was adhered to.

stcooper.bsky.social•12 days ago

But how were those rulings upheld? If they simply decide to defy a ruling, how will it be enforced?

audhdad.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank the fucking SC for what's about to happen. The mass of people who seem to think he gives a SHIT about the law now since he's immune.

FAFO for the GOP and the Dems are just too feckless and cowardly and wrapped in decorum to function in a fight.

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•12 days ago

And the "justice" department that has been protecting the criminal justices instead of enforcing laws as usual.

stlprogressive.bsky.social•12 days ago

That’s probably true, but it sure seems like they’re gonna ignore those decisions.

ljfarrington.bsky.social•12 days ago

They need to fucking enforce the GD law. So sick to death of these assholes being allowed to slip through with no consequences. Lock their asses up🤬🤬🤬

dialorama.bsky.social•12 days ago

While we spend billions to fight these lawless act, erode our systems and risk losing our democracy if our courts cannot hold Trump/Musk to account for illegal acts

He’s just so corrupt. I don’t see him backing down even with the losses. So what happens then?

daniala-raina.bsky.social•12 days ago

Who will enforce the law this time around? If felon47 is found in contempt, what would be the punishment? Vance is already trying to normalize reduction of judicial power…

mdashe.bsky.social•12 days ago

It must, or we're toast.

joeinneb.bsky.social•12 days ago

But will it matter?

winifredreilly.bsky.social•12 days ago

Do you think he believes the law applies to him?

jonjonvonbonjon.bsky.social•12 days ago

And look how it disabled him. It really stopped him, didn’t it? Not.

wmn4srvl.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course. Most of what he is doing is illegal and unconstitutional even if Rs can’t see it yet. @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social has a comprehensive list of how the courts are trying to enforce their orders now that trumpmusk is ignoring them.

machine667.bsky.social•12 days ago

one of the project 2025 tentpoles is ignoring the courts. We're about to see that.

moonfeathers.bsky.social•12 days ago

Vance (deeply involved with P2025) basically said that today.

LOVE that. I knew it was high, but wow.
Does this count the post-election court moves, all the voter fraud nonsense?

valutree.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sure but this time unless they are enforced it won't matter.

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•12 days ago

Since no previous court has enforced or even pretended to try to enforce any ruling against felon34, why does anyone expect this time to be any different?

Unless of course judges who continue kissing criminals' asses start getting the lynchings they deserve...

sasjaastad.bsky.social•12 days ago

But who is going to enforce the rulings?

prairiedawn73.bsky.social•12 days ago

jimmypgilbertaz.bsky.social•12 days ago

That doesn’t matter if he defies the order right?

sintrosi2.bsky.social•12 days ago

And it won't matter because Trump can ignore the judicial branch with no repercussions. He is already proving that.

dansjuan.bsky.social•12 days ago

What does it matter if Chump Musk simply ignore the rulings? Blondi's DOJ and federal marshals will not enforce any such rulings. Dems in Congress better sure as hell start using their leverage on CR, debt ceiling, appointments, and legislation - a total work stoppage until they obey the law.

mvonehr.bsky.social•12 days ago

savageinthewild.bsky.social•12 days ago

lizziemakk.bsky.social•12 days ago

Buckle up Buddy, this DOJ is no longer loyal to the Constitution or the rule of law.

Yes, but this time he's going to ignore the judges I fear

rjoyce753.bsky.social•12 days ago

But this time he doesn't care and won't abide by them. He gutted DOJ on day one to remove the judicial and legislative branches only means to enforce orders and impeachment.

akcrowder.bsky.social•12 days ago

The Coup is not going to comply and they will retaliate. I don't trust any of them to honor laws or judicial rulings.

rendamascus.bsky.social•12 days ago

kti781.bsky.social•12 days ago

3 weeks in, and I could have sworn, we already clocked 58 suits. I realize some cases are simply Temp Restain Orders; however, no indication he's looking at wins.

aprilcots.bsky.social•12 days ago

And then no one will enforce anything? There don’t seem to be any mechanisms for enforcement if Trump controls the US Marshalls that don’t involve a huge escalation.

samhain61.bsky.social•12 days ago

You or I would be held in contempt and face jail time if we were to defy a court order. But Trump has no such fear since SCOTUS has given him cover with their idiotic immunity for official acts bs. He will roll right over the courts.

timgwallis.bsky.social•12 days ago

No one doubts he’s lose in court. That Question is of he’ll follow the court orders. If he doesn’t, then both co-equal branches of government would have failed to stop him and there will be no recourse.

coldfact1776.bsky.social•12 days ago

I sure hope so.

tankadog.bsky.social•12 days ago

but with so much consternation.

greyparker.bsky.social•12 days ago

But the Rump Junta doesn't care anymore and they intend to.openly break the law while nobody stops them.

We're realky that fucked, dude.

bterrier71.bsky.social•12 days ago

True but he clearly feels emboldened to ignore the courts

theoverload.dev•11 days ago

Such losses won't matter a whit if we find ourselves within a political paradigm-shift-level change that leaves the Legislative branch continuing its tireless work of licking Trump's ass with the Judicial branch cut off from any enforcement mechanism and with barely enough oomph for finger-wagging.

theoverload.dev•11 days ago

Now and then, the Bible has something worthwhile to say.

"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." (James 2:17)

But now this's what I wanna say:

Even so law, if it hath not enforcement, is dead, being alone.
(an excerpt from my very own 😉 personal scripture 😂)

rockstar22.bsky.social•12 days ago

The question isn’t whether he loses court cases. It’s whether he’ll abide by an adverse ruling. I have little confidence that he will.

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•12 days ago

And even less confidence that any court ruling will be enforced, since they never have been so far.

janndc.bsky.social•11 days ago

E.Jean Carroll still hasn't received her court award of $490M.

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•11 days ago

thegodofcities.bsky.social•11 days ago

She did get the initial $6,000,000+
because to appeal it he had to put
up the full amout which he lost.

labick.bsky.social•12 days ago

But the first go around SCOTUS was not stacked against democracy.

finl3y.bsky.social•12 days ago

But he wasn’t running a coup then. They are running a coup now and they have put people in position to protect the work of the coup. They will do what Bibi does - ignore the courts. Imagine what could have happened had judges actually put Trump in jail instead of letting him off

aquarius0202.bsky.social•12 days ago

And? If he ignores the court, nobody is going to do anything about it.

andreasbohlin.bsky.social•12 days ago

But he doesn’t care now. GOP don’t care. So?

indep4country.bsky.social•12 days ago

The difference this time is will he or his people actually follow the law. Most likely not.

serendipity7427.bsky.social•12 days ago

This isn't like the first go around. He has an army this time. Will felon Trump even follow the rule of law? His lack of character would say no. It's important we not have rose colored glasses. Project 2025 is in full operation. These aren't good people.

He'll be held in contempt if he violates again, courts have actually said that. He thinks he can control everything when he can't. He shouldn't be in charge of executive orders due to gulf of America insanity along with no more plastic straws, only paper 😂🤣. Heard that Sat on radio

thevikingjew.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm not looking forward to Federal Marshals having to face off with the Secret Service... Let's hope the administration at least follows the judge's orders.

democracyyea.bsky.social•12 days ago

Federal Marshals report to the Attorney General who will do exactly what Trump tells her to do. There won’t be a face off I’m afraid.

thevikingjew.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yes, that is ultimately true. But some might choose to defend the Constitution and enforce the law rather than take illegal orders from the Attorney General.

davidjorgonson.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ultimately it comes down to who the people with uniforms, badges and guns obey
If Musk is held in contempt of court, for example
Without Congressional and judicial legitimation
And with public opposition
There is less and less reason to obey Trump, and none at all to obey Musk

judybaldwin.bsky.social•12 days ago

kapasa.bsky.social•12 days ago

My concern is him losing a lawsuit won't change what he was sued for. He'll keep on doing what's he's doing and the courts will send him more strongly worded letters. Rinse and repeat

cfordlaw.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yeah, but this time trump and his mafia will appeal the judgments to the bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court, and if that doesn't work out, they'll just ignore the court judgments and dare anyone to do anything about it. If past is prologue, unfortunately, no one will.
