Despite a court order, White House bars AP from Oval Office event
The Trump administration has turned a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press away from covering an Oval Office news conference involving President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.
Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.
"Despite court order..." is becoming the ubiquitous intro to news about the Trump administration.
i know they wouldn't be getting a conviction, but the dems seriously have to be bringing up impeachment if they want any political future for themselves, and they need to be doing it frequently
Wasn't this guy impeached last time he was in office? The American people have spoken and we have chosen a dipshit to run the country because most people who voted for him believed that he would hurt the people who are taking advantage of them.
Yup, America officially becomes fascist. The executive simply doesn't respect the judicial branch anymore.
Mark my words, Trump will not let go gently come 2029.
Plenty of presidents have defied court orders. The type of order matters greatly. Defying injunctions is only contempt of court. This was a ruling, as was the return of Garcia. These are defining of a constitutional crisis.
Haven't you heard though?
Both parties are the same apparently
Also "hunter bidens laptop" /s
It's literally 1 party which isn't following any laws and getting in shit fights with literally, vs a party where Israel is the only bad thing that can be said about it...
It's like that black mirror episode with Waldo.
What are the consequences?
Nobody in this administration should ever use the word 'constitution' in any context other than when playing D&D.
Like they'd be cool enough
Or when taking a shit, ie: daily constitutional.
More likely using up their daily stash of opium.
Then posting to xitter.
And for the fifth time this month, we stress test democracy!
If there is no push back, I'd say it's broken and we're not testing anymore.
I mean, if they're going to refuse to honor a supreme court decision that instructs them to facilitate the return of a legal immigrant from the foreign prison they sent him to, why the hell would they care about a DC circuit ruling?
Americans are still going "CAN THEY DO THAT???" every day.
When they announce martial law, people are still going to be like "Well, this is not good, I'm going to rethink my vote!"
They can't return that guy, because he's probably dead....
If the administration can ignore the courts, I guess everyone can now ignore the courts.
Silly Americans are so new at this.
No, you see that's when they announce martial law and roll out the ol' Death Squads (they'll have a patriotic name) to enforce the "new order" on the populace.
Americans gonna be shouting "Wait, this is illegal!"
Liberal institutions with the capability to easily stop Trump through solidarity instead watching idly he steps all over them:
Oh, yeah...
- The Reagan Regiment
- The Liberty Legion
- The Freedom Battalion
- The Constitution Guard
- The Federalist Front
- The Heritage Watch
- Stars & Stripes Corps
- The Patriot Brigade
- The Founders Force
These smooth-brained motherfuckers are so predictable I can do this all day.
Don't forget, the most Anti-gay group out there, is called "The Proud Boys"
Yet more evidence that it doesn't actually matter in the eyes of the Trump administration what the law says, or what a judge says, if there is nothing behind it to physically make them follow it or face actual consequences.
Yet more evidence that Americans can't identify threats with even a shred of accuracy.
Like, when we were all saying "He's gonna be a dictator!" and he was all like "I'm gonna be a dictator!" and then he gets into office and starts doing a dictatorship suddenly everyone is 😮
A convicted felon is defying court orders and nothing happens. Fuck yeah merica! 🦅🦅🏳️🌈
The fourth box of liberty must be opened.
Is that the one in the safe under the bed?
Jesus. What happened to the first 3?
Corrupted, defanged, and ignored.
So you'll be taking trump to task now AP, and not just running soft interference for him, working on normalizing him and supporting all his fascist enablers?
Yeah, didn't think so. Don't let the door hit you on the way out AP.
All this is doing is making me want to subscribe to their news site even more. The White House doesn’t realize the effect they’re having. Everytime they disparage something, that is a sign that the thing they hate is good, not bad, and probably helpful.
