@Nonilex

Here's a serious question...a very serious question...what will Judge Boasberg do if they ignore both directives? This is an all-too possible scenario.

Today's #NonSequitur modern civics lesson...

Via NYT-
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Sunday that hundreds of people accused of being gang members had been sent to El Salvador, a day after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to cease such deportations."

All of the recent court rulings against Trump is one thing, enforcing court orders is quite another. Trump doesn't give a shit about court orders as there's no mechanism to enforce them.

@GottaLaff

So if I don't buy a Tesla this month, will I be charged with a felony or will it be an act of treason? Just trying to keep up with the latest EO's by Trump.

@Snowshadow
I distinctly remember when Putin was massing troops on the Ukrainian border, all the "experts" were saying, "Oh, they're not going to invade. Putin's just a bluffing".

Trump is a Putin acolyte and has proved he's too stupid to foresee consequences to his idiotic impulses.

@GottaLaff

The social media news service 3-step program:

1. Read headline.

2. Leap to a conclusion (no time consuming reading of the article necessary).

3. Post your conclusion as empirical fact and watch it spread.

Gee, I wonder how this country got so fucking stupid.

@GottaLaff

It's times like this that I miss being an editorial cartoonist. So today I thought I'd get it out of system and get one down on paper instead of rattling around my old brain. So this is an exclusive for my Mastodon friends...

@MissConstrue @GottaLaff

But...but...I thought those immigrants were taking away jobs from Americans. You mean there's a shortage of Americans to work in the fields? My goodness, who could have foreseen this happening?

@GottaLaff
Exactly. Trump has a VERY long history of reneging his "deals". Why anyone would even think of making a deal with him is beyond me.

@GottaLaff @nitpicking @Salty @Snowshadow

Trump is a sociopath who was set up and used by Putin, who is also a sociopath. The difference is, one them is intelligent and the other stunningly stupid. The stupid one is easily manipulated by the smart one.

@nitpicking
Of course he wanted the deal. It was a shakedown. It's what mob bosses do. Then later he'd renege...just like he's done in every deal he's made in the past.

@Salty @GottaLaff

@Lazarou @GottaLaff

The MAGA morons are devoted to Trump because they think he's a tough guy...but he only talks tough. We just witnessed what a genuine tough guy looks like, and does so without bluster and bullshit.

@GottaLaff

I didn't think my esteem for Zelensky could get any higher, but it just did. He's standing up to two tyrants... Putin and Trump.

@GottaLaff

My immediate thought was, why the hell was this meeting/negotiation done publicly? Then I realized, oh, yeah...this is Trump. He figured doing this publicly would intimidate #Zelensky into going along with that ridiculous deal. Trump just can't read the room because he always sucks out all the oxygen. This is the most courageous leader in history. If he can't be intimidated by Putin, he surely won't be by this fucking moron.

@GottaLaff
It's the fault of the previous administration...somehow.

@GottaLaff
Well, course he did. The Sun rises in the East, water runs downhill, and Trump blames his fuck ups on Biden. It's the natural order of things.

@GottaLaff
I figured you'd want to see this:

And so it begins, a MAGA jihad launched against Garry Trudeau, undoubtedly initiated by Trump. As you know, this jihad is something I know all too well.

President Trump said on Wednesday that the federal government should take over Washington, D.C., wading into the decades-old and divisive issue of how the nation’s capital is run.

“I think we should govern District of Columbia,” Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawlessly beautiful.”

"WE", of course, meaning, "I should run it".
