Taco Donny got smacked by a court and every Republican lost their shit
shut the fuck up, you diaper-loaders
the news is moving at warp speed these days, because of fucking course it is. we live in the shittiest possible timeline, so why should any of us get to catch our breaths for five minutes?
two quick things happened yesterday, after the US Court of International Trade ruled that Donny Convict’s incoherent tariffs were unconstitutional as fuck and blocked them.
first, a second court blocked Donny’s tariffs.
A second federal court blocked the bulk of President Trump’s tariffs on Thursday, ruling he cannot claim unilateral authority to impose them by declaring emergencies over trade deficits and fentanyl.
and then, before any of us had a chance to cheer that win, a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated the tariffs.
A federal appeals court on Thursday temporarily delayed Wednesday’s court order blocking President Donald Trump’s tariffs, reinstating them at least for the time being.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an administrative stay of the decision while it considers Trump’s appeal.
welcome to life in the shittiest possible timeline. this is why we can’t have nice things.
nonetheless, Republicans spent the day power-loading an endless series of diapers while blubbering about how it wasn’t fair of lunatic Marxist judges to block Dear Leader’s agenda.
look at Jailbird Pete Navarro. he’s so mad, he’s about to punch his head through a wall.
Navarro: “and with respect to the legal arguments themselves, these are rogue judges that are basically operatin—”
Fox: “one was appointed by Donald Trump. that’s a rogue judge?”
Navarro: “there was one appointed by Donal—”
Fox: “and one by Reagan.”
Navarro: “more importantly—”
Republicans want you to believe that Donny’s unconstitutional barrage of executive orders are being blocked by some evil fucktangle of commie rat-bastard Democratic judges. um, no. Democracy Docket crunched the numbers and found almost as many Republican-appointed judges are smacking down Donny as Democratic ones.
The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford.
Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judges.
first of all, wow. 96% of all rulings in May went against Donny. but look at that stunning second set of numbers: 72% of Republican judges who were tasked with dealing with Donny’s dumbfuckery ruled overwhelmingly that he’s not the messiah. he’s a very naughty boy.
look, I have three words for all these hypocritical Republican diaper-loaders whining about activist judges: Matthew Fucking Kacsmaryk.
Judge Kacsmaryk is a district judge in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. he was appointed by Donny in 2017, he’s as MAGA as they come — and he’s the go-to guy whenever Republicans decide that some Democratic policy needs to go fuckity-bye.
wingnuts looking for a predetermined outcome will file suits in Matthew Kacsmaryk’s jurisdiction, because he’s a right-wing Federalist Society shitiologue who is always happy to ignore facts or precedent or law, and rule whichever way they tell him to.
Kacsmaryk is not a judge. he’s not weighing facts and making judgements. Kacsmaryk is a foregone conclusionist. he already knows in advance how he’s going to rule.
so all these Republicans whining about activist Democrat judges can to go fuck off all the way to Fuckoffistan — and then they get there, they can just keep fucking off until they get to Mars. say hello to the Space Nazi for us.
with the lower courts kicking the crap out of Mad King Donny’s agenda, does the White House press corps smell blood in the water? it looks like they’re actually starting to rouse from their slumbers do their jobs. Fox News lapdog Peter Doocy actually commits a journalism and asks Karoline Lie-vitt a perfectly reasonable question: why doesn’t Donny simply work within that system that’s already stacked in his favor?
“so the courts are basically telling you guys they think the White House’s policy, the president’s policies, are in some way against the law. why can’t President Trump ask the Republicans that control the House and the Republicans that control the Senate just to make a new law?”
Karoline completely whiffs her response.
“well, these laws have already been granted to the president by the Constitution.”
bzzt! wrong answer.
no, laws have not already been granted Dear Leader by the Constitution. that’s the whole reason that he’s lost 96% of his court battles.
cut the bullshit, Karoline. the real reason Donny doesn’t work with Congress to pass laws is because that would require Donny to do actual presidenting — and Donny doesn’t want to do any of that shit. it’s too hard. he’s not going to pick up a phone, or waddle down to Congress and meet with GOP leadership to haggle out a strategy. are you fucking crazy? come on, that’s time he could be spending watching himself on TV, or cheating at golf.
Donny just wants to preen for the cameras, and play-act the role of a king.
he would much rather spend half an hour chicken-scratching his psychotic signature on whatever executive orders Stephen Miller has drafted for him, another half-hour mouth-farting inanities at the press, and then go back to fucking off for the rest of the day.
doing actual work? oh please, that shit’s for losers.
speaking of Donny, check out his latest batshit Truth Social post, which has to be seen to be believed.
oh dear. Mad King Donny has fucking lost it. this might be the craziest thing he’s ever posted.
Donny is hella mad at the judges who ruled against him — and look who he blames for all his troubles: Leonard Fucking Leo.
“I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own “thing.””
this is all the proof you need that nobody is safe from the wrath of Mad King Donny. he’ll turn on literally anybody. Donny should be kissing the feet of Leonard Leo. no one has done more to make sure Donny eternally escapes consequences. Leonard Leo is the prime reason there were five corrupt bought-and-paid-for Federalist Society justices on the Supreme Court all too happy to rule that Donny is a Very Special Boy Who Gets To Do All The Crimes He Wants.
that’s Leonard Leo’s doing. he spent years working to make sure that America’s entire judiciary leans hard to the right — but because one particular ruling went the wrong way, Leonard Leo is now an unperson.
off with his head!
hey, don’t you just love the way Donny ends his posts now?
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
who is Donny talking to? God? Zippy the Pinhead?
it’s hard to believe we were ever this happy, but it was one year ago today that a jury found Donny Convict guilty as fuck.
as I wrote at the time,
