Summary
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in blocked foreign aid within 48 hours, citing noncompliance with a 13-day-old court order.
The freeze, imposed by Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order, halted funding for USAID and State Department programs, affecting hundreds of millions of dollars owed to nonprofits and businesses.
The cutoff forced tens of thousands of layoffs and jeopardized critical aid projects. Despite the Feb. 13 ruling, no payments resumed.
This follows another case where a judge found the administration failed to unfreeze trillions in domestic grants and loans.
Whatcha gonna do, judge? Ask again? Wait until deadlines pass? Delay has always been Trumpy Dumpty’s strategy to maximize harm. No conquences means nothing to lose.
But instead of poking a dictator who doesn’t GAF, how about holding congress Republicans accountable since, you know, they “control” finances. You start dragging them out in cuffs, I betcha it will get someone’s attention, fast!
The ordinary response:
- find the defendant in contempt
- send US marshals to carry out the court order
- alternatively, send them to jail the person who held the court in contempt
What are they gonna do? Prosecute him? Impeach him? Hold him in contempt?
Dudes been stealing from everyone for his whole life and doesn’t give a fuck what a judge thinks.
Ha! We both said the same thing.
First bump
First bump
I knew what you meant. Autocorrect do be an asshole.
OR ELSE!
Trump gonna slap 25% tariffs on the judges. That’ll teach them, MAGA!
Traditions don’t work with bullies. Trump is exposing every weakness in the US institutions.
Too bad our SCOTUS is corrupt.

What is the date and time required by the judge? That is PROTEST O’CLOCK, my people.
Or what? The judge doesn’t have the power to enforce it. The president has greater power than the judge. The judge shouldn’t even be involved to begin with. The executive order trumps the judges order.

Who’s going to be doing the arresting after he’s held in contempt?

We’ll see. Congress and the majority of the Executive Branch seem to be goose stepping right along with Trump. The Supreme Court is iffy.
As for the accusation of trolling, you can fuck off. That was a serious question. On the off chance you haven’t been paying attention, there’s serious concern that the loyalty of most of our government may be to Trump and not to the Constitution.
The judge can say whatever he wants. Do you think the secret service will allow anyone to arrest the President?

In theory. In practice, it seems that certain people are, in fact, above the law.
It needs to be made so.
Call your representatives and literally yell at them for not doing more on Trump.
Have you been paying attention at all for the last 5 years?
Do you think anyone that matters will do anything to stop him?
Hi, imma let you finish but just real quick. Laws are laws only if they are enforced. Alrite, take care fella.
I’m just going to mark this comment for reference next week.
I seriously don’t think I’ve ever encountered another person to get into so much shite and face zero consequences.
Cheer Justice Roberts stayed this order
C’mon America.
It’s called impeachment.
or what? Until the courts actually start doing things and not just talk about them, they will always be just so much fetid air
Is this the same one that SCOTUS just overruled the other night?
Ah yes this is gonna be awesome
Not only fuck around with the will of the voters.
But actively messing with the execution of presumably why they were voted in the first place.
Yeah this is seriously gonna make the people who voted him don’t think about how the judges want to limit the will of the people AT ALL
Yeah because you see, you might have voted for this guy. Thinking your vote matters
But the one controlling the country, deciding its fate and yours , is us in here, not you
And you will never have a way to stop us
Yeah this is surely a winning non alienating strategy. Props to whoever thought of it this will get the Dems soooooo many votes man, like, you wouldn’t believe it
