President Donald Trump admonished justices who struck down sweeping tariffs on Friday, accusing the six members of the Supreme Court of being “afraid of doing the right thing.”
The president said at a press conference hours after the court’s ruling that he’s “ashamed” for the justices who voted against his tariffs, singling out the liberal justices who joined three conservatives in blocking the tariffs as a “disgrace to our nation.”
“The Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” he said.
There’s already a lot of MAGA people convinced that “activist judges” are acting against Trump just to act against Trump… You know, as opposed to ruling against him because he’s breaking the law.
Nevermind all those other SCOTUS rulings handing the executive branch more power. Those don’t matter. Clearly now it’s stacked with activist judges.
I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.
The answer is no. Unless there is some mythical honest MAGA they are hiding from us. It is not that they can’t properly define things it is they don’t want to.
I wonder if anyone from MAGA could actually define what “checks and balances” or “separation of powers” means.
I guarantee both would lack self-awareness and instead be defined with a generous sprinkling of “woke”, “antifa”, or “liberal” in the definition.
Maybe:
“Checks and balances make it so a woke liberal president can’t take away our freedom by himself.”
I’m sorry, the correct answer is “checks and balances are some lib pussy bullshit they say when they want to put litterboxes in classrooms for furries”
But we would have also accepted “fuck you here’s my freedom card to not care (slams a beer while flipping you off)”
The amazing thing about this decision by the supreme court is not that it ran against him, but that there still were three judges who ignored the state of law in the US.
The dissenters were Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas.
Seems like that alone explains everything I’d ever need to know about the dissent.
Yes, of course it was.
Yup.
I can’t really feel good about this news because it just shows that the SC is still notably corrupt.
He best watch himself. The Supreme Court may just suddenly find that presidents can be held accountable for crimes during their tenure.
Don’t get too excited, they decided on money. Trump is wrong about his stupid tariff scheme. Not only was it always illegal it is simply not generating the money they pretended it would. With the tax cuts and increases in spending we are heading to add another ten trillion to the debt in the next three years. Possibly much more if we go to war with Iran.
It is obvious Trump and the Republicans are trying to break the bank at this point. They are purposely mismanaging the publics money to create a crisis. I had to listen to years of hate radio growing up and I know this is their “starve the beast” moment aka destroy the government.
Doubtful, as long as it is perfectly legal to
bribepay gratuities to justices who vote the right wayOne can hope. Though truthfully, in all of this, I’ve had to wonder what the agenda of the SCOTUS has been in empowering Trump like it has, in the first place.
What the fuck are they doing? It makes zero sense.
You already answered it, the agenda is to empower trump to do what project 2025 wants done…
They try to uphold a smidgeon of being a required institution now and then but that is mostly out of self preservation so they are still legitimized when kicking downwards to the common man’s problems.Thinking like stock market execs, its all about the next quarter results 😎😎😎 (and nothing beyond that)
Shut the fuck up Donnie, you’re out of your element.
You shit your pants again Donnie?
Seppuku is always an option.
Heh, Donald Trump seifuku
That would be honorable, so that’s not an option for the orange peril
A live feed of Trump committing ritual suicide in front of an audience would bring the viewer numbers he always pretends to have, imagine how many people want to see that go down worldwide.
That would be undoubtedly the biggest event in pay per view history
That’d make him a martyr among his idiots, I’m not sure in what way that’d be bad for us in the long run but the good news is the pedo is dead!
Yes but those people went out in public wearing red hats, diapers, and ear bandages, they should follow up with their own suicides unless they want to buck the trend
This is a big signal that they won’t be rubber stamping everything in his agenda. They wanted Barret because she would give them Abortion, no matter what, and she did. But like most criminals, these MAGAs never look beyond their immediate agenda, to the next steps, or the consequences of their behavior.
So now they’ve got a moral person on the Supreme Court who doesn’t seem likely to appease his ugliest demands.
Birthright Citizenship is coming soon, which is expressly allowed in the Constitution, and this ruling seems to indicate that they aren’t willing to just ignore the Constitution to earn his favor.
Especially after he attacked them so viciously. They won’t forget that.
The fighting between them is all smoke and mirrors, imo. This is all part of blitzkrieg policy.
Does this mean the average Joe’s who paid tariffs will get a refund?
Serious question.
Hahhahhaha
You don’t like it, fine.
Now pay up, sucker!
“Spoiled brat throws a temper tantrum because he didn’t get his way”
There fixed the headline.
Breaking “disgusting pedofile child murdering Israeli backed traitor throws public fit because he didn’t get his way”
Even for this demented sociopathic rapist that’s a crazy picture
Trump promised to use “other alternatives” […] floated potentially implementing trade embargoes on other nations.
You won’t do it, bitchboi. I double dare you.
Of course he will. That new approach will be challenged in court, but will take another 12-18 months for there to be a ruling against it, meanwhile trump will keep using tariffs against our friends and allies further alienating and isolating the United State globally.
Suree, he can put select tariffs back on through other means, but straight up embargoing countries without reason?? Likely it would be the closest he could get to political suicide. I sincerely hope he does it. Show em who’s in charge, big guy.
Just like all the other “political suicide” shit he’s done consequence free?
if he openly does things u can call political suicide it means he is not planning on having an open and fair election, believe him when he tells u he does not need votes anymore
Yeah they tend to backfire.
He already did dumbass
I’m not talking about existing embargos stemming from long established US policies, dumbass. And neither is trump.
I’ll assume you’re referring about Cuba, pretty big difference getting aggressive on that policy vs threatening fresh embargos on allied nations jus cuz.
In talking about the announced decision to put a universal 10% tariff globally
Awww, did widdle Drumpy not get his way?
Someone change his diaper, he’s getting fussy!
I volunteer Stephen Miller for that honor…
That sentient anal polyp would actually be honored.
If you do that, there will be nothing left!
Drowsy Don
So “doing the right thing” and following the law aren’t always the same? No way!
When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal
