Donald I, emperor of the world.

What happens when they just ignore the rulings though? They’ve exposed a flaw in the legal system in that they just ignore legal rulings and the checks & balances do nothing not least as those who should be enforcing them are either complicit or too cowed to do their job. It feels like the attempted coup in 2021 was pretty successful as it has made US politicians scared to protect the country’s democracy.

I'm no lawyer nor legal expert but I suspect Trump being so prepared to ignore the courts might be being empowered by the Supreme Court ruling that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts taken while in office, but have no immunity for unofficial acts.

Given that Supreme Court seems increasingly worried about the US Courts becoming irrelevant that can rule that it is the President's responsibility to uphold the rulings of the courts and that failure to do so is not an" official act" and can be prosecuted and punished and that punishment will mean prison time and is not covered by any Presidential Pardons.

Such a ruling would tell Trump he'd be spending the rest of his life after this term tied up in courts without Supreme Court backing with likely prison sentences. I suspect that would change his attitude to the courts

Brilliant!
I intend to steal this and use at every opportunity

It's very good (ie I wish I'd thought of it) but this remains my go-to:

Democratic plan, pretty much followed by Labour and liberals over here

It did occur to me the other day that Trump is the first ‘coloured’ president. 🤔

Chemical castration eh

Where have I heard that procedure?

Oh yeah trans, woke ideology

I think you are confused. It's used with

• Sex offenders, particularly paedophiles.
• Cancer treatment

There are some drugs referred to as chemical castration which are not the same as the ones above but which are used as part of hormone therapy for transwomen

I'm not sure which of these you think is woke?

Those drugs are used for puberty blockers

Could you at least do me the courtesy of reading my reply before you respond?

 

[Blazing Saddles]

You could have stopped there.

 

[icowden]

Those drugs are used for puberty blockers

gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues are used as puberty blockers and cancer treatment.

medroxyprogesterone acetate, cyproterone acetate, and LHRH agonists are used for chemical castration.

D'you see? Different medications for different purposes.

It’s quite funny, and ironic in a way, that every clip you post confirms that those on here who disagree with you are right and strengthens their arguments.

You’re the Ed Davey of this forum. Keep up the good work

Right in the same way a fish is in thinking it is food on a hook. Wrong though as they end up being someone else's food.
