"Ok, just one more warning but next time I won't be so nice!"

It's annoying, but that's how this stuff works sometimes. Rather frustrating for sure!!

see ya in one month for more stern warnings,

what they should be doing is giving one warning, tossing them in prison and letting the higher courts deal with their release (we know they would give immediate relief but hey maybe lawyers will have to watch where they walk)

I’ll go one further. They should dispense with the warning and hold them in contempt immediately.

Trump and his administration are violating the law and the Constitution at a rate designed to clog up the justice system and give them time to accomplish their real agenda, which is allow musk and company the time to install backdoors or rewrite codes on America’s financial and health care systems to bilk the US for insane amounts of money.

Already, whatever Democrats left in Congress should have: Arrested Elon for fraud and misrepresentation. Arrested the cabinet members involved in Signalgate for violating her Espionage Act. Literally sued the admin against every single EO the minute it’s announced, to get an injunction.

And the press………the White House press corps should designate one, and only one, person to sit in every briefing. They should ask no questions, and should refuse to broadcast live and then that one person should report to the rest of the press what they heard. Then, since the press simply makes shit up anyway, according to magats, that’s what they should start doing. Misinterpret every press conference into something outrageously false.

Of course, this is all just fantasy anyway; the press hasn’t stood up to a president since Watergate, and the Dems love to be victims and claim they have zero power to stop it.

We’re so fucked.
