While seeing Judge Tanya Chutkan get this case could be a good sign. Her ruling, if negative to Trump, will probably see the end of her career. The more interesting thing will be if this gets appealed to the Supreme Court. Their ruling will determine how much power the courts have going forward to actually rein in presdients.

She's has a lifetime appointment.
The president can order her to be assassinated and pardon whoever does it per SCOTUS.
This is what I’m saying man. We should resist, but it cannot be just one person, it has to be many so that Trump cannot get rid of all of us at once.
I want to see fear in that man's eyes.
I forgot that picture. I dunno how when it's pretty much my entire mood lately.
That photo is beautiful
Oh man, whoever’s shielding him has some tight pants on. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of them
You don't see it in every single photo that exists of him? Because fear is literally what drives him.
Oh I see nothing behind those eyes most of the time
And McDonald’s is his fuel
This. We have to stand together and resist this blatant illegal overreach by an unelected bureaucrat
LOL, the pampered diaper donvict? When was his life ever "hell"?
He should be rotting away in prison, instead, he continues unbothered and unscathed and is now king of the world.
I remember back when you would read every day a new headlin on how they really got him now. Making hell for him apparently means not kissing his feet.
Life hell? Do any of you feel that Trump’s life has ever been “hell?”
He's gotten away with a lot and supposedly has a lot of money, but to be honest I really don't envy him. He seems miserable inside.
I actually have some sympathy for young Trump, in the same way I feel a little bad for young Kissinger because he was beaten up by Nazis. Fuck everything about who he’s become and what he's done, burn him at the stake. But from what I’ve heard about his childhood and family that was probably a really shitty way to be a kid
Yeah it sucks that his mom was pretty absent and his dad was basically a sociopath, but not everyone with garbage parents grows up to oversee the deaths of millions.
No doubt, he’s not absolved in any capacity. I just feel bad for the actual child he once was, not the man that child became
I feel this way about Barron Trump every time I see him. He's barely got any chance of leading a decent, moral life. I guarantee mental health issues have already begun to manifest. For fuck's sake his dad named the kid after his alter ego, John Barron.
I comfort myself with the fact that pretty much every waking moment of his life has been hell-- he's just too dumb to realize it.
He's never accomplished or learned anything, known love or had a friend, and his family either hates him or are sycophantic extensions of his own ego. A lifetime of shitting in gold toilets will never change the fact that he's a failure that made everything and everyone he touched worse, and will be logged in history books as the puppet figurehead that more intelligent fascists used for their own purposes.
He shits in his pants now!
He (and his allies) had to take 10 years of Greta Thunberg scolding him. He’s pretty thin skinned.
I don't think it's been 10y. I just checked and she's 22 now. She started protesting with she was 15. So more like 7y. That would have been during the 1st Trump admin I guess.
I don’t either. It’s a quote from JD Vance.
It's a figure of speech. Nobody thinks she made his life actual, literal hell.
No shit Sherlock
The person you're responding to is not actual literal Sherlock Holmes, FYI.
I see what you’ve done there. ;)
Was going to say... a bit like saying "the one who's closest to reaching jupiter".
After an onslaught of bad news it's novel to see something positive happening.
Nothing positive is happening until it happens, we have yet to see Trump comply with a judicial ruling (let alone an emergency injunction). And it'll get argued up to the SCOTUS before he'd even theoretically stop.
Don't fall for Lucy pulling the football for the 9th year in a row. Plan and act as if he's not facing any consequences within the limits of our government, because his record shows he won't.
You dropped this:
Please elucidate
same vibe is all. its an old meme. we are the "sickos" who will enjoy watching this go down.
Fellas, is it sick to enjoy the downfall of tyrannical leaders?
Lmfao, we won't see that anytime soon. Itll take years at best.
No. But I want to stick them into the Kenshi skinner machine and make Planet of the Apes taxidermy for the future Smithsonian exhibit on them.
It’s from an onion comic artist, “Kelly”, who makes amazing comic parodies of right-wing garbage comics like Ben Garrison
The judge didn't make life hell for trump. trump did that for himself.
Ridiculous fucking headline.
Note: This message was sent from the Gulf of Mexico
Being elected a supreme leader is apparently hell for donald trump
Can we also sue Musk and Trump for their bullshit if we don’t live in the US? Fuckers like that are destroying more than just the US
