If Iran offered complete and total surrender today, by morning a federal judge inside the Beltway would issue a stay on that surrender, requiring Iran to continue fighting Donald J. Trump and America.

The judge says Congress still has to approve...Not sure if that is so...since there are no federal funds involved.

Indeed!
It’s amazing he gets anything done. It’s like he alone is dragging every anchor in the political fleet by himself.

How many times have federal judges been eventually overruled?

Not many.

Now the arrogant, ego driven Supreme Court justices believe they have to humiliate and overrule Trump on every matter.

They are what Alan Watts called “egos walking around encased in human skin.”

Trump screwed up. He should have built a ballroom in Idaho, then built a new Whitehouse next to it. He should move the Beltway apparatus to regional appropriate sites. Washington DC should be reclaimed as wetlands and turned into a Chesapeake estuary wildlife preserve.

These TDS-suffering twits continue undermining the Judicial branch as they persist in their arrogance and in their pompous idiocy.

They are a stain on justice.

Almost always.
They will lose again on this one.

How many American Tax dollars are in this grand project? Not one damn dollar. All donations from mostly Trumps friends and associates. Just think, in the past we had grand state functions in a damn tent on the lawn with a makeshift floor of plywood and portapotties for kings and premiers etc. If the weather was bad, you had to just endure it. It was an obscenity. But I must admit the concept of Hillary Clinton using a Portapottie amuses me.

SCOTUS rules for Trump over 90% of the time.

A federal judge has already demanded the Ayatollah be returned to life thus negating Trump’s justification for going to war.

Thanks for trying to talk me out of depression over this.

You’re right the SCOTUS doesn’t always crush Trump as with the tariffs decision.

This site says 20 in favor and 4 against with 358 lawsuits being sent to attempt to get the SCOTUS to rule. Which they, of course, won’t rule upon.

President Donald Trump has announced a UFC fight will take place on the White House South Lawn on June 14, 2026, to celebrate his 80th birthday and America’s 250th anniversary. The “dead serious” event, organized with Dana White, will feature a 6-foot fence, potentially 20,000–25,000 spectators, and include fighter walkouts from the Oval Office.
Why not have it in the new Brawlroom? ‘Chuckles’ Schumer v. ‘Dead Serious’ Thune.
He talked about the event with reporters in the doorway of his plane after his speech last night. Said the MSM weren’t invited.
I’d like to see Ted “Wolverine” Cruz dismantle both Swalwell and Schiff.

Free Republic in the old days when it was truly conservative and small government and for empowerment to the states and was not a cult movement centered on one single man who can do no wrong ever, would firmly opposed any president building such a massive boondoggle tribute to himself and a waste of our taxpayer dollars.
