SCOTUS providing free rein (reign) to TOM

 

Dec 8, 2025 (322/1461)

SCOTUS handing over the keys to the city as it were. “The Supreme Court seems likely to expand presidential control over independent federal agencies, signaling support for President Donald Trump’s firing of board members.

During arguments on Monday, the court’s conservative majority suggested it would overturn a 90-year-old decision that has limited when presidents can fire agencies’ board members, or leave it with only its shell intact.

Lawyers for the administration are defending Trump’s decision to fire Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter without cause and calling on the court to jettison the unanimous 1935 decision known as Humphrey’s Executor.

The court’s six conservative justices already have signaled strong support for the administration’s position by allowing Slaughter and the board members of other agencies to be removed from their jobs even as their legal challenges continue.” The scythe is going to come out and it’s going to get used on heads. TOM will lop people off left and right (just left) with no cause or care in the world. Demolish people’s lives. Further build upon his cast of puppets doing his bidding.

Hegsloth can’t quite get his philosophy straight. Seems in 2016 he was agin’ the military committing unlawful acts. Now? When his head is swollen by power (and air) kill everyone! “In 2016, a video clip shows the now-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warning that the military should not and would not follow unlawful orders from a Commander-in-Chief. "That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief. There's a standard, there's an ethos, there's a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do". He added that there must be "consequence for that" if someone is "doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless.” Right. Re-read that part, Slothy. Unlawful. Ruthless.

TOM screwed the farmers and they got pissed. Instead of fixing the genesis of the issue, TOM is going to throw money at it and hope it will go away. (I.e. them dumb farmers will be appeased). “President Donald Trump is planning a $12 billion farm aid package, according to a White House official — a boost to farmers who have struggled to sell their crops while getting hit by rising costs after the president raised tariffs on China as part of a broader trade war.

According to the official, who was granted anonymity to speak ahead of a planned announcement, Trump will unveil the plan Monday afternoon at a White House roundtable with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, lawmakers and farmers who grow corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, rice, cattle, wheat, and potatoes. The aid is the administration’s latest effort to defend Trump’s economic stewardship and answer voter angst about rising costs — even as the president has dismissed concerns about affordability as a Democratic “hoax.” So if economic challenge isn’t real, then it sure seems funny to be giving people money. When there’s no hardship. You can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth, TOM. Oh I forgot, everything you say comes out of your arse.
