Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

Courts need to look into getting some paramilitary deputies to do their enforcements. Slippery slope, I know, but without enforcement they're just yelling at a bowl of rancid jello

All this is doing is making me want to subscribe to their news site even more. The White House doesn’t realize the effect they’re having. Everytime they disparage something, that is a sign that the thing they hate is good, not bad, and probably helpful.

I mean, if they're going to refuse to honor a supreme court decision that instructs them to facilitate the return of a legal immigrant from the foreign prison they sent him to, why the hell would they care about a DC circuit ruling?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

They can't return that guy, because he's probably dead....

Americans are still going "CAN THEY DO THAT???" every day.

When they announce martial law, people are still going to be like "Well, this is not good, I'm going to rethink my vote!"

When the announce martial law

Why bother even announcing martial law? Trump's DHS is functionally implementing it as we speak. We are in a state of de facto martial law whether we want to acknowledge it as such or not.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I mean, you're absolutely right, there's no need to do things by the book when you never picked up the book in the first place.

That's all complacent liberal America wants to hear, that there's NO formal declaration of martial law, thus everything must be fine!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Naw they'll be too busy at work to bother.

A convicted felon is defying court orders and nothing happens. Fuck yeah merica! 🦅🦅🏳️‍🌈

If the administration can ignore the courts, I guess everyone can now ignore the courts.

Silly Americans are so new at this.

No, you see that's when they announce martial law and roll out the ol' Death Squads (they'll have a patriotic name) to enforce the "new order" on the populace.

Americans gonna be shouting "Wait, this is illegal!"

Liberal institutions with the capability to easily stop Trump through solidarity instead watching idly he steps all over them:

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, yeah...

  • The Reagan Regiment
  • The Liberty Legion
  • The Freedom Battalion
  • The Constitution Guard
  • The Federalist Front
  • The Heritage Watch
  • Stars & Stripes Corps
  • The Patriot Brigade
  • The Founders Force

These smooth-brained motherfuckers are so predictable I can do this all day.

Don't forget, the most Anti-gay group out there, is called "The Proud Boys"

My money is on thinly veiled racism like "The National Purity Patrol" or "American Neighborhood Street Cleaners"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think we all know that's not how this works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It absolutely works that way if you think like a North Irishman. Before they lost their balls, that is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But someone might get hurt!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The working class has been getting hurt throughout human history.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's how you get tased and thrown into a cage 🤷

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

tho tbh there's a decent chance of that happening anyway
