That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.
At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration’s perspective on things it’s refreshing. They don’t hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.
I think that judges have had enough. Boasberg of DDC has already released a criminal contempt order and by the looks of it, Xinis of Maryland district is also getting pretty pissed.
The question, though, is what the judiciary is going to do with these seemingly inevitable contempt rulings. Let’s just say I’m not terribly excited about the prospect of fines unless that’s just the opening salvo.
Because they know something the rest of us don’t - that they will never have to pander for votes ever again, because there will never be another election on the country.
I just hope they alienate enough people fast enough that we can see an actual effective check to this rogue administration. They’re taking a lot of power pretty fast but also burning a lot of bridges.
I don’t see how this attempt to speed-run a dictatorship is going to work well for them. You’re supposed to turn up the heat slowly, so the frog doesn’t notice that they’re boiling until it’s too late.
I wouldn’t say there is no secret agenda. It’s clear the administration is not in the loop of what the secret agenda is. Their blatant anti-everything-non-white and overall incompetence and ignorance is enough right now to keep the divide and conquer going.

Would be shame if someone used it as evidence in a contempt hearing or impeachment trial.
The people will have a trial if the lawyers cannot.

I’m sure that’s what they think.

I’m afraid they might burn more than bridges if they are opposed by an actual effective check.
If that’s what it takes to stop them, so be it.
