Donald Trump's criminal defense attorney is now running the Justice Department, and his first act was to kill the law his client was charged under.
Todd Blanche defended Trump through two federal prosecutions, including the classified documents case built on the Presidential Records Act. Trump announced today that he had fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Blanche, the man who sat next to him when the charges were read, stepped into her role. Trump ally and FBI director Kash Patel spent the winter firing every FBI agent who touched that investigation. The prosecutors who built the case were gone before that. Within hours, Blanche's Justice Department released an opinion declaring the law behind those charges unconstitutional.
Trump and Blanche had reason to be nervous. Special counsel Jack Smith testified to Congress in January that he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Three months later, every person who built that case is gone, and the law it rested on has been erased by the lawyer who fought it. Call your representatives through Resistbot and 5 Calls and demand they block any permanent attorney general nominee who won't commit to enforcing the Presidential Records Act.

Thank you, George

How the fuck is Trump in any position to rag on someone being old? Jesus fuck he’s dumb.

Remember, posting memes is not enough. Take actions like the ones at the bottom of this post. Contact your representatives daily, and if they do something good, tell them to keep it up. Join local immigrant rescue groups. Join local political campaigns.

I think he died years ago, but is too stupid to notice

A small hope, but the DOJ can't erase laws. It can ignore them, but they still exist. Now if we can just find people that will fight for them.
TakeAChillPill16
Yup, the statement released is a legally nonbinding opinion. Means that the DOJ can state it all they want, but any judge is going to say, "that's nice, but actually, there's a law passed by Congress and signed into law by a sitting President that says otherwise." Unless the Supreme Court finds that law unconstitutional, it's the unambiguous law of the land.

My dad is a chauffeur. And had the great fortune of driving bruce Springsteen to his concert here in Tampa. Bruce invited him back stage and even sat and had dinner with my dad before the show. Springsteen is not just all talk the man is genuinely a nice guy. Very kind and caring to those who work for him and around him.
madmax17
Amazing guy.

Lovely story, thank you for sharing it!

That's why he's the Boss.

5, 6 and every other part they can do something. Ok military... do the thing. Stop this shit like your'e supposed to. There's that whole Duty to refuse bad orders thing...
also, the artemis mission having microslop outlook issues and toilet issues not even 24hrs into their 10 day flight is making me nervous.
piratecaptainwendy
Not gonna happen. The military has been training for 25 years to kill civilians so long as they don't look like shooter does. If the military was going to grow some balls and do their duty....it would have happened by now.

History shows removing experienced officers during war never works out....

His ballroom is a bunker. He will have to be dragged out.
I can't tell if I am hoping he dies in office, very soon, or we get to watch him dragged out of the white house screaming and crying.
RonnieSoak
I am quite happy to just seal thst bunker and let him rot in it
LordofGoats
A búnker, you say? Maybe we should let him build it so he has a nice place to end himself. (Nah, that's better than he deserves.)
tinydog
Treat him like the ant he is: fill his bunker with molten aluminum.
Hatlled
Seal the doors shut, and cement them over. Air vents, too.
Ac1dBurn72
I don't disagree. But that just seems wasteful.
If they drag him out, I hope it's to be tried for treason. And publicly punished for it.
To send a message that moving forward anyone who attempts to subvert the constitution again. Our next administration needs teeth and needs to undo all this damage. Adding guardrails.
I'd love for them to remove all money from politics and add term limits. But that won't likely happen willingly.
floofnmeeps
Creative. I like it 👍🏼
Daliena06
Seal all entrances. Install some wi-fi blockers and generally ensure he can't get on the 'net.
He'll shrivel and die within a week if he can't being able to scream on social media, his own personal hell.

I haven't even been able to appreciate this one because of how much disdain they have for science and NASA, coupled with the fact that we have just so much terrible to deal with. 😓
notsurewhattocallthis
You can at least be happy the orange shitstain hasn't tried to smear his fecal facepaint all over it? It's like actual science burns his skin or something.
Daliena06
Don't even say that, swear to god we'll have a SpaceX launch of the Dump I satellite or something if he hears..
