A federal judge warned of “consequences” if the Trump administration violated court orders, but did not specify what those consequences would be or what it would take for the judge to enact them.

    Anyone wanna guess what those “Consequences” are going to be?

    • A sternly worded written order DEMANDING compliance, with random words in ALL CAPS to show how serious they are this time.
    • A repeat of the orders demanding compliance, but adding the words “OR ELSE” to the end.
    • A $1000 fine for the first dozen or so violations, followed by nothing at all.
    • A contempt of court charge for Trump that actually can’t be enforced because he’s the sitting President.
    • A press release saying that Trump needs to abide by the court’s decisions.
    • Absolutely fucking nothing at all.

        On the one hand, yeah. On the other hand, would it somehow unleash Stephen Miller even more?

          No. None of these other chuds had nearly 20 or 30 years of media whitewashing them like Trump had. Stephen Miller is practically date rape incarnate. As Steve Bannon is what alcoholism would be if it were a person.

        Last I checked he can’t be charged with anything as sitting President, not that it can’t be enforced.

        Whichever way it works. The end result is the same.
