Trumpers getting increasingly open about being criminals

Lawyers for President Trump in line to take top jobs at the Justice Department sparred with Democrats over whether the administration could simply ignore some court orders — an early skirmish in a larger fight over the White House’s efforts to claim more sweeping presidential powers.

Department of Justice renamed to Department of "Justice"

Make it very public and very rough.

This should end badly for them, but in today's America they're more likely to be released by the right and allowed to get by with a light scolding from the left.

In the book "The Fall of the American Republic" there will be a chapter entitled "The Treason of the Lawyers." It all makes one wonder what the heck is going on in our law schools nowadays.

This is the singular biggest risk: that unless leading Dem congressmen project agency and anger, and manage to hold an increasingly captured media's attention—which many still aren't doing very well!—Repubs will ignore elections just like court orders going forward.

“Efforts to claim more sweeping powers” aka “efforts to ignore the Constitution”

The time to act in every fascist takeover is always sooner than they would like.

Didn’t John Roberts already settle this by anointing Trump with immunity? What recourse do the courts have if Trump is immune from contempt rulings and can pardon anyone who follows his orders?

I just do not understand, if democrats did the same one could only wonder what the response would be, just hate this two facing, be a fascist but do not be idiot like you have been

Again, more proof that Trump is an asset of an enemy country intent on destroying the U.S. or if not yet he will obviously be soon since he is so easily bought and willing to sell off all of the countries assets with 0 regard for Americans.

Dear elected democratic leaders,

We are tired, we are stressed and we are worried about the future of our nation. Some of us have checked out to keep our sanity.

We understand you might be stressed as well but we need you, even if you know you’ll lose to please fight, for all of us.

Please

Given all of the lying we’ve seen during these hearings and the carefully crafted non-answers, I am pretty sick of these people getting legitimizing photographs like the cover photo here.

Yeah, really not a fan of this aspect of fascism

If one is arguing that one can ignore _some_ court orders, one is effectively arguing one can ignore _all_ court orders, no?

jim0novak.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Shouldn’t John Roberts just rule in their favor to avoid the opportunity for them to defy the Court?

Did the democrats vote for them?

Not a particularly big leap from ignoring court orders to ignoring election results.

niais.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Because they're fascists! (I hate this timeline)

curious how much such on-the-record statements could come up in future court cases

The Republican blueprint is Russian oligarchy: In the 1990s, Russia’s most profitable organisations were dismantled and taken over by tycoons able to take advantage of an increasingly compromised privatisation process and seize control of hugely profitable state enterprises.

matunos.bsky.social•16 hours ago

some things they might want to remember is that a number of those oligarchs were eventually imprisoned or murdered when they ran afoul of the current Russian president.

Also, their country went from being a feared world power to one mired in an invasion of a neighbor with about 1/4 the population.
