All I am seeing and hearing are that the courts are putting roadblocks up for President Trump to get things done. I'm also seeing that Congress is slow walking getting people into Cabinet positions and into departments that President Trump has appointed them to.
Obviously, they have better lawyers than the GOP and they own all of the Feral stooges in black robes.
Trump should tell them to take a hike, just like Biden did with the Supreme Court and the student loans.
Legal challenges to every EO Trump made were expected by everyone - certainly by Trump’s own team. That’s one reason they blitzed through the first three weeks of his second term with so many actions. They will work through the legal challenges, which were always going to be there - the quick start means we will get resolution on the legal challenges that much sooner.
The ones dragging their feet can be sent a message by Bondi.
Andrew Jackson once stated, after a Supreme Court decision, John Marshall has made his decision, let him enforce it.
The Framers designed the system to not work efficiently. This means everything is a negotiation. Trump is superb at reframing. If he wants to buy something that’s worth a million dollars, he offers four-hundred thousand. Now the other side is negotiating up from four hundred thousand. Trump knows what he’s doing. What we can do is sit back and snack on buttered popcorn and watch the other side scramble.
The Dems can slow things but cannot stop them
The Courts can put up road blocks and Team Trump will appeal to higher Courts
Democrat clowns can delay things, they cannot stop them
Yes, remind the democrats that you and the majority of Americans support Donald Trumps agenda.
They need to be heard again thru phone messages, emails (politicians do read them), commenting in their social media posts on Facebook, Twitter (X). The MAGA numbers can be overwhelming. Let your Reps know where you stand.

Newt Checks and Balances Liberal Judges
Townhall, November 18, 2011 | Peter Ferrara

The genius of America’s Founding Fathers is reflected in the innovative system of checks and balances they adopted for our government, to prevent abuse of power by any authority.
Congressional legislation is subject to veto by the President, and to review for constitutionality by the courts. The President and his Executive branch are subject to the laws passed by Congress, enforced by the courts, and presidential appointments are subject to confirmation by the Senate. So are treaties. The President appoints the judges, subject to Senate confirmation.

Gingrich recalls the actual checks and balances on the judiciary established by our Founding Fathers, who recognized the dangers of judicial supremacy. Jefferson wrote in challenging such judicial supremacy in 1820, “You seem to consider the judges the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” Jefferson further wrote later that year, “The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working underground to undermine our Constitution from a co-ordinate of a general and special government to a general supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet.”
The view of Jefferson, the Founding Fathers, and Gingrich is that interpretation of the Constitution is not the role of the judicial branch alone. Because we have three, equal, co-branches of our government, reflecting the separation of powers that enables checks and balances, Congress representing the legislative branch and the President representing the executive branch, have equal authority to interpret the Constitution as well.
Under our Constitution, Congress and the President consequently serve as checks and balances on a runaway judiciary of activist judges reading their own elitist liberal/left values into the Constitution, contrary to the will of the people. Because Congress and the President are subject to regular elections, they are subject to the ultimate check by the people holding them responsible for their conduct in office, including their interpretations of the Constitution.

Gingrich and his campaign present a thorough program for countering runaway liberal judicial activism. President John Adams appointed Federalist Party federal judges who enforced the Alien and Sedition Acts to imprison Jeffersonian activists contrary to the Constitution. When the people had their say in the election of 1800 and voted out Adams in favor of Jefferson, Adams responded in the following lame duck session by doubling the number of federal judges. Those abusive appointments were labeled “Midnight Judges.”
When Jefferson came into office, he and his party simply abolished the judicial seats to which the Midnight Judges had been appointed, thereby removing at the time half of all federal judges. They didn’t impeach the judges, they just abolished their offices. The Supreme Court in Stuart v. Laird recognized that this was a valid exercise of Congress’s power explicitly provided in the Constitution to provide for the appointment of inferior (to the Supreme Court) federal judges.
Snip
Gingrich argues further that Congress has the right and power to impeach federal judges for wrong decisions, or to subpoena them before Congress to explain their decisions to the American people if they can, or to discipline the judiciary through its control over the spending power. If Congress can defund a war with troops in the field, surely it could defund the Ninth Circuit, or other judges who think they can march to the beat of their own drummers, rather than objectively apply the Rule of Law. Those who favor rule by lawyers rather than rule by the people object to these powers. They can take their case to the people as well.
Mr. Justice Roberts has made his ruling.
Now let him enforce it.
But seriously - in my opinion DOGE has about two weeks to deliver the receipts documenting direct diversion of taxpayer money to hidden bank accounts of Members of Congress, or Congress is going to put a stop to this.
The tranny stuff is chump change - the people are not going to overthrow the State because of that. And the color revolutions, although horrible on their own and bad for America’s foreign relations are too hard to explain to the half of the population that is below average.
But stealing their money to fatten cats already too fat? That’s the key to the DOGE project.
As far as the buyouts go, honestly I was NEVER a fan of buying these people off in order to leave, they dont want to show up to work, FINE, FIRE THEM NOW, and Trump is within his legal right to do so and there is NOTHING anyone can do it about it..Trump should issue a statement saying “Fine, no buyouts, effective immediately they are officially terminated”
Continue to pray.
Prayer spared Trump’s life a couple times and gave us the election and a Republican majority in both the House and Senate.
God has clearly got this in hand and we can continue to pray that He would stop the left’s attempts to thwart what Trump is doing.
Of course, wriing our reps is not off the table either.
Buy outs are illegal?
Then you’re all fired!
Hoagy...
Trump is A Battle Wounded Veteran Now.
He has been going Hand to Hand with these Vipers for Many Years and Now Trump has them Right where He Wants Them and
They Know It.
.
“It’s ON.”
BARRON TRUMP
It is always better to be able to say in retrospect, “See how nice I was? I gave them time and even provided for them.” God works in much the same way, He is patient and forbearing with the obstinate, but at a time of his own choosing that comes to an end and he has to pull the pin.
What can be done?
First, eliminate their money. Then comm systems. Then come at them from so many different directions that they can’t keep up. Next. Get the public aboard and expose the rats.
Since Schumer’s screaming was mocked, the latest game by the Democrats is taking Trump to court arguing he does not have the right to look at what the people in the Executive Branch are doing.
If the Washington DC Judge agrees with the Democrats, the case will quickly go to the Supreme Court where they will be told to read:
Article 2 Section 3 -— “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”
“Take care” are two very powerful words.
Fascinating Times Indeed.
