the projected cost to taxpayers for President Donald Trump’s vanity projects has soared to more than $1.8 billion.

    So many angry judges. Sooner or later, maybe one of them will actually do something about it.

      I agree with you, but remember that in some cases the long drawn out legal processes are actually undermining Trump’s effectiveness. The journalist who is pursuing her court case to get the Epstein Files, obviously she has not yet succeeded. But the proceedings are playing out, and it keeps looking worse and worse for Donald, and that keeps making the news. Every 2 weeks we have one more attempted dodge, and one more reminder that the president is a giant pedophile…

      And it turns out that the American people actually do care. Of course, some of them are brainwashed cultists, but many others would prefer to see that horrible man lose power relatively soon.

      Now obviously we’d prefer to see quicker progress, but the judge in that case knows that the appeals courts might be Trump loyalists, so they need to set the perfect record. Otherwise the Supreme Court is sitting there waiting to rubber stamp everything.

      Basically, if judges are taking time now then I understand it, as long as they’re making firm rulings. It’s the judges who were being softies a year ago, who took the Department of Justice at its word, those people f***** us all over. Because we knew that the DOJ was lying about everything and they should have known.

      Yeah, I don’t see them having any more effect than they are having now since Trump can simply ignore their rulings (as he’s been doing for a while).

      Unless one of them took a gun…

    The thought “don’t these arseholes have more important things to be doing than tree removal” but quite frankly id rather 400 trees die than whatever other abominations they might come up with.
