CONTEMPT

Is There a Better Word?

I really wish there was no cause for a federal judge to be forced into this next step—but because Trump aggressively brought it on himself, and much worse, inflicted it on the rest of the country—and because we need to restore the legitimacy of the Constitution—I would love to see Donald Trump held in Contempt of Court. Contempt of Court (whether civil or criminal) is, after a court order (and before using The Federal Marshall’s service to physically enforce a ruling) the one remaining legal remedy a judge can use. And this remedy takes all its legitimacy and force from the universally shared belief that the courts are empowered by the people to act for them.

There are currently several—with more comimg—Temporary Restraining Orders, directing Trump and his mob to stop what they’re doing and in some cases, immediately restore the various agencies’ to their original levels of staffing and operation. And then, somewhere down (or up) the line, if—and, I’m hoping, when—the courts determine that Trump’s actions are as illegal and as unconstitutional as we all know them to be, he will be ordered to make restitution to the millions of American citizens whose lives have been turned upside-down by his actions.

Some people might never be, as the lawyers say, “made whole.” The damage that has already been inflicted is, in some cases, irreparable—which is why there’s so much urgency behind these pending decisions…
Many of these cases will wind up in front of the Supreme Court, which—because of their historically infamous Immunity Decision—Trump figures he has safely in his pocket. I’m hoping and (to the extent an agnostic is able to) praying that the majority of The Supreme Court awakens from their long constitutional hibernation and are reminded exactly why America had a revolution in the first place.

The great ironic twist to of all this man-made chaos is that, when Trump and his gang are found guilty of everything under the vault of heaven—when he’s ordered to pay damages to all the people he’s harmed—the money will almost certainly come from our taxes! And when I say our, I mean you and I; never, Dow Jones forbid!—the billionaires who helped engineer this train-wreck to begin with… But wait! Maybe Elon Musk can pay the bill! He can break into a couple of his X-tra large piggy banks and give everybody their back-pay, re-open and buy new furniture for all the closed government offices, put the signs back on the front of buildings, fix the computers, and make restitution for the vast harm he’s caused to our country.

CONTEMPT-

What you see on Trump’s and Vance’s face, and on the sneering, arrogant face of every petty tyrant and bumbling fool that Trump has appointed to run the country into a bottomless an alligator filled ditch…

CONTEMPT-

That’s exactly what Trump and the Project 2025 gang have for the country and almost everybody in it; contempt—not just for the vast majority of its current citizens, but contempt for the entire bloody, striving history of The United States; contempt for The Declaration of Independence, which was written and published by men who knew they risked their lives doing it; contempt for The Constitution, the very foundation of the entire idealistic, hypocritical messy, bloody, greedy, glorious human enterprise that has now been reduced to the pathetic form and substance of a seedy Tesla dealership on the White House driveway, a chainsaw-wielding maniac, a host of tame rodent lackeys, all in the thrall of a vengeful child trying desperately to be king.

It's almost impossible to give these people our pity or our forgiveness. They, and all their works, which are destroying our democracy for the sake of their personal greed and power, and which might very well lead to our country’s actual destruction in the world, deserve nothing but our Contempt!
