Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

While ignoring court orders that block his agenda.
Funny how that works.
This is a sign that Trump to some degree fears blowback. He wouldn't make statements like this if he thought there was no threats to his power. He wants you to think he's already obtained 100% power so you don't fight fight back
Yes, absolutely. The more cynical replies of disbelief are missing why Trump would say anything at all.
Push harder.
Agreed. It might feel futile, but lawsuits and public outcry do matter.
I think this is accurate. If he had no fear, he wouldn't say anything at all.
This is just CYA for Trump. Faux News will report this headline, maga will claim he’s following the law, and then he’ll continue to ignore court orders at will.
I'll only add that he'll also cry about the deep state being very mean to him...
Lmao that’s a manifest lie. He violated court orders today.
No he won't.
If he was going to, he'd do it, then brag about it.
The fact that he went out of his way to proactively say he would means that he most certainly will not.
If he does not, we no longer have a country. All bets are off, if Trump doesn’t need to follow the law, no one does.
He said with a nudge and a wink.
...which is definitely true and accurate, just like all the other things he says.
I mean at this point the Treasury department is compromised. It's all over.
Umm the usaid says otherwise.
Narrator: He never did.
So, since he always does the opposite of what he says.... What does that mean class?
“Party of law and order!”
Eventually, you know, in 5 or 6 years.
Not willingly, that's for sure.
*Once the supreme court overturns them.
