Lol. This country is filled to the brim with cowards renouncing their oaths.
Home of the brave my fucking ass.
True, we're cowards all the way down.
I dunno. Bernie's kinda badass. And AOC rules.
For sure, there are folks acting courageously, but by and large people are cowards.
They just meant the natives...not courageous people lol
It should be "the land of the free and the former home of the brave".
He also wasn’t swayed by the AP’s argument that it’s unconstitutional for the president to have sole discretion over who covers him at these smaller events. “We are not at the point where we can make much of a determination one way or another,” said McFadden, ruling from the bench. “I don’t intend to micromanage the White House.” McFadden said that the first few days since his order took effect gave him concerns that Trump’s team is “not proceeding in compliance here, or perhaps malicious compliance.” But the judge, appointed to the court by Trump during the president’s first term, said he has to assume that the administration is operating in good faith unless time proves otherwise.
Uh, no you don't, dipshit. You don't at all. I doubt there are many laws that dictate assumptions need to be made. This isn't corporate America, you don't have to assume positive intent.
But the judge, appointed to the court by Trump during the president’s first term, said he has to assume that the administration is operating in good faith unless time proves otherwise.
Mr Judge, trump is intentionally defying your judicial order. What part of that is operating in good faith? What will it take for your to see that "good faith" has long since been exhausted?
One has to wonder if the judge is operating in good faith. smh
What you call "good faith" and what they call "good faith" and what he calls "good faith" and what she calls "good faith" and what the judge calls "good faith" is all different kinds of faith.
It fucking kills me how judges will absolutely fuck every day people up, but then when it comes to the wealthy and well connected, it's suddenly "oh, well, they only murdered two people, I think a fine is kind of crossing the line here, let's be reasonable about this".
They led an otherwise blameless life, after all
If Dems ever get this shit back.. I hope they dismantle Fox News and ban it.
So, as I expected, the judgment is entirely useless. Without strong enforcement, these judgments are utterly valueless. The court exists as a watchdog against corruption and abuse - but at this point, it's contributing. He should absolutely be micromanaging the White House and looking out to preserve the meaning of our Constitution.
Fourth box.
Saint Luigi guide us
What fucking use is a court order without enforcement?
Very often in a civilized society, enforcement isn't necessary.
So. Yeah.
The lack of consequences for anyone doing illegal shit is exactly why the illegal shit will continue.
lol
WASHINGTON (AP) — For nearly 100 days, President Donald Trump has rattled Washington and been chastened by its institutions.
He’s startled world leaders with his unpredictability and tough talk, but won their praise for a surprise strike on Syria.
He’s endured the steady drip of investigations and a seemingly endless churn of public personnel drama.
“It’s a different kind of a presidency,” Trump said in an Oval Office interview with The Associated Press, an hourlong conversation as he approached Saturday’s key presidential benchmark.
I've said it before and some of you really don't want to hear this, but AP has soft-pedaled trump since day 1 and now they're reaping their reward. Perhaps they should have told the truth instead of choosing the barest descriptors to indicate he's a demented rapist fraud committing treason.
They've never said "lies". They've never made the obvious case that he's not competent. They've done everything every other corporate news sewer has done, which is to state the basics in as non-threatening a way as possible and hope the intellgentsia glean their implications. Which helps no one but themselves.
Journalism - such as the AP represents - has failed catastrophically. No one is happy about that. But the AP can only blame themselves. In a reasonable world, they would take this as the challenge it is and start busting trump's chops every day all day - BUT THEY WON'T. They'll lie down and wait the years it takes to pass, continuing to poop out stenography for the administration until hopefully someone else gains power and lets them back in to the food bowl.
Fuck the AP. And I say that knowing full well they're one of the better corporate news sewers. That's how far down we are. They refuse to help, they refuse to fulfill the basic journalistic brief of speaking truth to power and they do so because they're run by republiQans who want trump to be their fascist king. I hope they fold as an organization after briefly attempting porn as a last ditch attempt to stay solvent.
Well I’m glad you managed to find a way to blame the AP for being banned from the White House instead of the one who banned them.
Oh I'm not blaming them. I'm saying they deserved it.
I'll give you 1 guess at who appointed this judge to the bench
Where the rule of law means nothing to the wealthy, the government should mean nothing to the poor.
And I'm sure at Easter dinner my whole family will still be saying "Thank god Trump's second term will be over in 4 years and things will go back to normal!" as if anyone in the government will actually be willing and able to prevent him from simply continuing on with his dictatorship. This cinches it for me - I'm convinced that we're not getting out of this without American Revolution 2.0.
The first thing Putin did before staying in power forever was to amend the constitution to give himself another term.
Fortunately it's much harder to amend our constitution. It won't happen, at least not legally, and there will be some sort of pushback.
In related news, the sky is blue, the rocks are hard, and rain is wet.
Fake news!
Time for the AP to file a writ of mandamus. Loudly.
Land of the weak home of the bootlicker
