“unnamed source” “unnamed Democrat”

Why don’t these people grow a pair of tits and put their name to their quotes? They’re complaining that the Dem leadership isn’t being brave and fighting, yet they can’t be brave and put their name to critiquing the leaders…? Figure it out.

i have, and i may very well again…

I would argue there’s a Constitutional duty for all sworn officers to be willing to impose a judge’s order if it’s lawful/constitutional (if ordered). That’s how warrants and seizure orders work, for example.

The question I’m afraid to see tested is what if any judge tells an officer to do one thing and the president tells her to do something else?

I believe there can’t be state charges in this because that would imply a state court ordering a federal agency to do something which i believe is more or less impossible due to the Supremacy Clause.

But the capricious nature of Deputy Assistant President Trump is a real danger to these people, especially if whatever illegal thing they’re doing for him gets big bad publicity and could make him unpopular.

Any official that is disobeying a lawful order from a judge is in contempt, should be charged as such, and put in jail if they don’t obey the lawful order.

If that doesn’t happen, then the people tasked with implementing the judge’s lawful orders (including contempt findings and sentences) are themselves in contempt.

This cycle should repeat until the right people start going to jail for contempt, or they start following those lawful orders.

If judges’ orders can be ignored with no consequence, we’re done as a country.

I find that I see memes here about a week before my wife shows them to me (presumably from reddit)

Not sure if there’s an app yet, I found one on the Android store by Arakassia…

FWIW there’s a way to bridge Bluesky accounts to Mastodon

I’m sure this will come if the wrong way but if you’re genuinely concerned about discovering diversity of thought, you’re going to have to tell us what your positions are for example.

I’m all for finding diversity, but so often what people who post these are looking for is an echo chamber. Like if you’re really wanting to be challenged, and you’re a conservative, go to https://socialistworker.org/ and read up.

But if what you’re concerned about is the nerds in Lemmy seem to be left leaning, that’s just the nature of smart creative people. We value skills and creativity over hierarchy and structure.
