But Congress works at the speed of Congress. These tarrifs were part of a larger play on the world stage to renegotiate with other countries and there for are pretty time sensitive.
Yeah. That's the problem. Can Trump "do something"? Yeah. The options are not good for the health of the country if he does, but he will shut up the judges on the bright side. At this point he can choose between Jackson or Lincoln in how to deal with faggot judges. One is ignoring them, the other is declaring a conspiracy and thus the system in rebellion.

Imagine something terrible goes down geopolitically because of these loser activist judges who are out of control and want to grandstand. These people need to be in jail TONIGHT.
 
All they're doing is trying to buy time until the midterms when they can ride a wave into congress and impeach, impeach, impeach.
For them to actually impeach they would have to win 13 senate seats, maybe a minimum of like 9 and hope that there are enough neocons still in office to actually impeach him, and with how the senate map looks in 2026 they're going to struggle with even getting two. That's why they weren't able to do it the first two times because they lost senate seats in 2018 due to there being quite a few democrat senators up for grabs in red states. That jeet also revealing the impeachment hand also likely screwed things up.

People complain about doctors developing god complexes, but these robed dipshits legitimately believe they have some sort of divine mandate to just do whatever they want and suffer no repercussions for it.
 
I love that so many people are openly talking about (and recommending) just fucking ignoring these idiot judges and carrying on anyway. It's entered the mainstream consciousness and I don't think these judges quite understand how dangerous that is. This is "jury nullification" on steroids, and judges already hate nullification. They should be scared shitless that the public at large is losing its willingness to respect and obey the courts.

All it takes for a district court to become utterly toothless is for its city/county police/sheriff departments to stop enforcing its orders. If these judges keep pissing everyone off like that, they're going to discover how far their gavels go when there's no guns backing them up.

They're bringing it on themselves. Just at first blush, maybe this is a legitimate judicial opinion, in the sense that it's actually their opinion on the correct interpretation of a law, rather than them merely trying to hamstring the Trump administration because Orange Man Bad. The problem is the lower courts have already issued so many transparent Orange Man Bad rulings that it's destroyed the credibility of the entire system already. And John Roberts was too cowardly to do anything about it, because DC is in total hysterics, and he thinks keeping DC's approval matters more than the American people's.

Regardless, this cannot end well if these people are allowed to continue on with this with no legal repercussions to their actions. They need to be arrested. There are only so many straws than can be thrown on the camel's back before the house of cards collapses.
 
More info from CNN (forgive me):

Article/Archive

"The order halts Trump’s 30% tariffs on China, his 25% tariffs on some goods imported from Mexico and Canada, and the 10% universal tariffs on most goods coming into the United States. It does not, however, affect the 25% tariffs on autos, auto parts, steel or aluminum, which were subject to Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act – a different law than the one Trump cited for his broader trade actions."
Fucking traitors want to hold the door open so the world can rape us in trade might aswell just bend over now and start the Chinese century because judge faggot and the gang want to line their pockets more on the back of the American dream.
 
That song originates in India.

Until recently, I'd never heard it, and now I've seen references to it everywhere. WTF?
It's worse if you're a parent that puts on Youtube for your child.

That song is all over the place with various levels of quality (most of them being shit of course). Even the children shows on Netflix (e.g. CoCoMelon and BeBeFin) play that shit constantly.

idk how my mom does it when she babysits my sister's kids. I would have blown my fucking brains out YEARS ago listening to all that slop over and over again. baby Shark is another one that's overplayed to hell.

The worst offenders are the ones that butcher the fuck out of classic songs and just change the lyrics to whatever the fuck they want.

It's becoming clear as day that a lot of these judges see themselves as the ultimate authority. For that reason, I don't think they understand, either. So if these courts keep trying to overrule everyone else, often against the country's interests like this International Trade Court*, that's what it's going to come down to.

*It seriously doesn't help that a lot of these judges (especially DC District Ct. judges, Obama and Biden [handler] appointees [A]) are foreign born. Roberts would rather appease these people than think about the long term effects of destroying national integrity in the name of Stopping Orange Man (who is Bad).
 
Yea fuck the judges but to me this crisis is a symptom of the non or malfunctioning of Congress. It’s never ideal for a branch to be a rubber stamp, but a legislature the President’s party controls should have a productive relationship with the President. Their own infighting and corruption and incompetence mixes with the filibuster and other obstructions from the other side to make that impossible.

Honestly even right now I feel like both the executive and judicial branches are actually functioning pretty well and doing their jobs. But without congress doing theirs then anyone with an urge to implement the agenda the voters want is going to be frustrated.
That sounds more ideal, but what would that change in our current circumstance? It would likely cause an even faster legitimacy crisis for the judiciary, but what stops the judges from just cockblocking a law the same way they do an EO? Arguably declaring laws unconstitutional and thus null and void is what the judiciary is more well known for.
 
This is the most retarded fucking question that assumes the general public is witness to both controlled and uncontrolled demolitions regularly under a wide range of conditions and has studied the two in comparison.

Yes, you have youtube videos of endless controlled demolitions everywhere. But you have little to NO basis of comparison for uncontrolled collapses of high rises outside of some grainy ass earthquake or other geological event AND due to catastrophic structural damage. Clear video of this happening is pretty rare.

But what's hilarious here is that the most recent example we have is of the Florida condo collapse a few years ago. 2/3rds of it fell almost perfectly down and inward on itself. The East wing had almost perfect pancaking and fell with a slight drift to the south, but remained almost entirely in the property footprint. Almost like it was a controlled fall.

Neo-liberals and neo-conservatives won and got to write history when it comes to 9/11 conspiracy theories. The vast majority of theories about controlled demolition, thermite paint, drones, etc. were psyops and less than 1% of people that questioned 9/11 believed them. What the vast majority of skeptics believed is that the US helped support the groups that hijacked the planes, and when they saw the attack coming, purposely ignored it in the hopes it would succeed. Why? Because if I took a time maching back to the 1990s and told them about the PATRIOT act, TSA, FISA courts, and the forever wars, they would have laughed themselves to death. The political atmosphere did not exist for something like that to happen democratically. After the attacks, people begged for that shit, left and right, and here we are. Your thermostat can call the police on you while your doorbell provides the state with the evidence needed to convict you..

Anyone that pushes the controlled demo shit is either retarded or too young to remember when it happened. They learned everything they know about it from Reddit and Jesse Ventura memes.
