Good story. I don't need to seek his irrelevant picture. We all know hat this creep looks like.

The felon strikes again. It’d be nice if he were held accountable and treated like he treats immigrants.

If Trump were constrained by law, he wouldn’t be the Trump he wants to be.

Gosh, he seems to be doing A LOT OF THINGS which violate legal statutes. How come he's not being stopped?

Then he isn’t fired.

Quit acting like this is The Apprentice.

Even though Trump will never be punished for any of this illegal firing I wonder if there will be lawsuits for damages by those fired that will win in court. Or if the individuals who actually carry out illegal firings could be held accountable,or if a "just following illegal orders" defense works

the Supremes gave him blanket immunity so violating legal statutes no longer matters

Blanket *criminal* immunity. People can still sue his administration if he violates the law and they have standing.

If saving money by all this firing is the goal, it will probably end up costing taxpayers way more after all of the lawsuits are paid out. But it's probably more for revenge and getting rid of oversight

Under George W Bush the Interior Department spent $22 million to look for positions to eliminate to save money. At the end they eliminated one GS-7 clerk typist position

understood. but do you think for a second trump cares about that? his addled mind thinks he is above all that.

manticorefalco.bsky.social•35 days ago

No obviously not. We'll see what the courts think though.

*Sideeyes the ridiculously unethical Supreme Court*

How much do you want to bet that Aileen Cannon is the nominee for the first opening on the Supremes!

manticorefalco.bsky.social•35 days ago

Gag me with a spoon if she's nominated.

Violates legal statutes? Shocker. WHO would have ever saw that coming? Let me guess, lots of legal ease word salad & ‘lawsuits’? Remember kids, no one in the United States is above the law!
