I have to say I find it so interesting that all of Trump's appointments to the Supreme and Federal courts have ruled either directly against Trump or against the platforms Trump wanted them to vote on. It is almost like a conspiracy to buddy up with Trumper then once appointed tell him to fuck off and dance around him yelling "you can't fire me, you can't fire me." I am curious if any behind the scenes shit will come out upon their deaths.

The interesting thing about Trump's low intelligence and high narcissism is he can be so easily manipulated by stroking his ego and yessing everything he says.

I don’t think his supporters give a fuck about anything like these cases. They want Roe v Wade overturned, and to see white supremacy legislation/policies stand the legal test. That’s why they elected him, and that’s truly the only thing they care about. I don’t think they’ll bat an eye at any of these other cases. The real test will be when these state bans end up in front of SCOTUS.

What a shocking revelation.  Also shocking is that the woman who reported the issues to her superiors was fired.

A Fox & Friends host reportedly spoke with Trump multiple times urging him to support accused and convicted war criminals — including Navy SEAL Ed Gallagher (@/TW content relates to Gallagher)

President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen told lawmakers behind closed doors that Jay Sekulow, one of the president's attorneys, encouraged him to give untrue information to lawmakers about the Trump Tower project in Moscow, according to transcripts released Monday.

I am not talking about his supporters, I am talking about the judges he appointed who have consistently voted against Trump. This would actually be an ingenious move to off set his fucking craziness by a bait and switch maneuver. I probably have too much hope that the government actually gives a shit though

We’re studying whistleblowers in my class right now - I was surprised at the statistic that 30-40% of organizations actively encourage staying quiet about illegal/unethical behavior. That just seems like such an unwise business decision if risks can be mitigated out of the public eye. Power and profits are king though. (Banks are among the worst, which wasn’t surprising.)

No, this is not an accurate summary of what the article actually says. And the article at the link is terribly misleading, so I can see why you and half of Twitter think that Merrick Garland is hearing this case. 

The DC Court of Appeals has about 20 judges on it, of which Merrick Garland is just one. On any given case, 3 of those 20 judges will be randomly assigned to hear the matter. This case has not even actually been appealed yet, so no judges have been assigned to the case. There's about a 1 in 7 chance Merrick Garland will be appointed to hear it, but even if he is, he's one of three people who will decide.  And there's some lottery or automated system for assigning cases, so it's not like Merrick Garland or any other human will be making a thoughtful and independent decision as to what justices should be assigned to decide it

It's true that Merrick Garland is the chief judge of the DC Court of Appeals, but that is not what people think it means. Basically, he's got some authority over administrative matters, like budgeting, and with respect to the actual business of law, he's first among equals for a very limited number of specialized situations. He does not hear every case that goes to the court and he has no power over any case on which he is not appointed.

Hopefully this just means they're doing their job to uphold the constitution, precedence, and the law in general without letting themselves be influenced by the direct or indirect strong arming of any one person.

This list is cracking me up!  He's still showing his crazy.

We have a new restaurant here that his former running mate has a stake in.  The town has called for a boycott of the restaurant and I seldom see people there.

Speaking on this: I hope so flipping much that Deutsche Bank gets PUNISHED for the push down of this info their hired fraud investigators brought to light in summer of ‘16! I know somewhat pointless to speculate now, but that could’ve changed EVERYTHING!
I just feel like with all of the other things to prosecute in this mess of crap, they might sneak out with some measly little fine that will barely affect their continuous swindling practices. But man oh man, do I hope not!
