  1. Trump, in about 12 hours, on social media, at 2 AM: “I am not a president, so that law doesn’t matter. I am a *fucking* *GOD*!”

    Fast forward 2 years. Trump has destroyed records violating court order.  

    Trump claims operating the shredder was a “official act”, scotus already determined official acts have presidential immunity.

    Congrats.  Judiciary made itself obsolete.

    as Draco would say: “Wait ’till my father hears of this!”

    The Supreme Court will overrule it.

  4. Trump will ask SCOTUS to overrule and they will fast track it and hav it done by the end of the week

    If only his frequent trips to his private clubs where he spends literally every weekend were covered under this. Oh, right. They are. He’s just had ongoing secret meetings for many years and refused to comply.

  6. They, those who wrote the IRS gift ruling, will make a codicil to Trump’s Living Will to include any and all written or spoken words he doesn’t like.

    lmaoo did they really think that sketchy OLC memo was gonna fly?? like congratulations you tried to declare a 50 year old law unconstitutional because you didn’t feel like saving your emails. senior judges do not play around with separation of powers stuff. absolutely wild they tried to pull this in the first place tbh

    The judiciary can rule all they want and Trump will just ignore it. The judiciary has no independent enforcement to go and arrest the President or members of congress. Hell Gym Jordan ignored a congressional subpoena years ago and is still sitting pretty in his tower of shit.

    Until the judicial branch has a non-partisan enforcement branch (I know I know, that’s a pipe dream) we’re stuck with anyone in power who says “eh screw it I’m not listening to the judges”.

  9. “in my official capacity I am officially using the official document shredder”

    The judiciary needs their own enforcement agency for anything to happen these days.

    Otherwise its going full on treason which people are still scared to do.

    Man, I’ve become so fucking jaded.

    Sure, this judge says that. They’ll appeal it til a judge agrees with them(or it ends up in the lap of the supreme court, who will rubber stamp whatever he wants).

    And even if the supreme court agrees with the lower courts ruling, the administration will just ignore it because the executive branch will just choose not to prosecute themselves, or cite the previous Supreme Court ruling about immunity for official acts.

    I really don’t want to sound defeatist, but I don’t exactly know how we win this one.

  12. The White House deemed it unconstitutional. That’s not how it works. Just follow the fucking law. No where does it say in the constitution that the president can decide if a law is constitutional. Thats how dictators do things.

  13. Judge rules Trump White House must comply with Presidential Records Act

    White House ignores Judge

    Oh, awesome! Now they HAVE TO because they’d NEVER ignore a lawful ruling or do anything illegal!

    Whew! We won guys!

    The very first thing the White House did was send out a message to all the toadies to immediately delete anything that wasn’t strictly ‘worth saving’ the moment the OLC sent out that memo, so in that one week it took for this injunction to land, a whole LOT of shady shit was deleted, I guarantee it.
