Trump is itching for a constitutional crisis. Judges should start subpoenaing top officials now.

Another Trump court loss - it's now almost a daily occurence...

Thank goodness we have a Judicial Branch protecting us from this clear tyrant and tin-pot dictator...

U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell ruled that continued struggles to get federal money for things like early childhood education, pollution reduction and HIV prevention research violated his Jan. 31 order. He ordered the Trump administration to “immediately take every step necessary” to follow his temporary restraining over halting its plans for a sweeping freeze of federal funding.

Stop dicking about Trump; you do not have authority to stop payments.

Agreed. It's likely that Trump will disobey. Get ready for impeachment number 3.

I’m not confident that the courts will save us, unfortunately. The U.S. will become a dictatorship. It’s already halfway there.

Get ready for impeachment number 3.

I’m not confident that will happen either. Even if Democrats win back the House next year, the GOP mob will block the results. With the help of JD Vance, who, unlike Pence, doesn’t believe in democracy.

word salad lady.

Donald Trump, asked about the price of childcare:

Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is. Couldn’t, you know, there’s something, you have to have it – in this country you have to have it.

But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to — but they’ll get used to it very quickly – and it’s not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care.

We’re gonna have – I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about.

We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in. We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people, but we’re going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about Make America Great Again, we have to do it because right now we’re a failing nation, so we’ll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.

....but Kamala was "word salad lady". Sure.

You should. It’s funny. I’d best describe it as ‘word salad’.

A president who doesn’t listen to and obey the legal decisions of judges.

This is going to be a crazy 4 years.

Impeachment won't work, unfortunately. If I were a federal judge, I'd be looking at appointing a co-president to check what this fool is doing on a daily basis.
