    The key take away from this ruling is that the judge has used Musk's own words and social media posts against him to prove that he is more than just an advisor to Trump and that it is indeed Musk that has "firm control" over DOGE.

    That establishes legal precidence that can be used in future cases against DOGE.

    Oooops-a-dooopses.

    I hope donald trump becomes a life long dictator and shoots or hangs
    anybody who opposes him.

    it would be a huge improvement.

    Honestly though, i'm laughing my ass off how people are reacting to elon musk. people are really triggered just by looking at the guy.

    How does a judge of any kind rule that something "likely" happens? That's like saying "possibly" or "probably".

    yeah, judges either rule that something IS, or IS NOT.
    so if his information is not bullshit it'll go to the supreme court.

    basically democrats are just going to sandbag and go after trump to the end of his term. just like last time. should hang them all

    That's where I was going with my reply. If it really happened, then the writer of said article definitely used the wrong words in their headline. Otherwise, it was probably a bullshit news source.

    There shouldn't be any hanging, of any kind. Republicans went after Biden and company just as much during his term, too, even though it didn't get nearly as much media presence.

    I think it is like a preliminary ruling. They do that in cases where there
    is some sort of injunction requested... in this case, to have USAID
    functions restroted... and then they would later go on and hear the case in full.

    The judge seemed pretty confident that Musk has proven, by his own words,
    that he is in full control of DOGE and not just a special advisor as has been claimed.

    I dont care about political allegiances. A lot of our politicians are literally criminals who disobey their oath of office. These people are bought out by pharm companies and who know else, they do insider trading, they do quid pro quo deals to build up their wealth and countless other things.

    What most of our politicians do is essentialy treason. we'd be better off without them and I think they should be tried for their crimes.

    Regarding republicans going after biden, i have not seen anybody go after someone like they've gone after trump. Democrats actually neglected important duties to go after trump, and this is verifiable by public records. They didn't do their jobs(ie show up to work and vote on agendas, follow meeting agendas or even meet for rulings) so they could go after trump on several occasions.

    If you're not doing your job, you need to go, just like regular jobs.

    it's a liberal judge from a liberal state. of course he's going to do something against trump. it's a vague ruling and they will appeal and it will go to the supreme court or just die out. it's just more sandbaging and wasting time.

    We'll see how it plays out, if there's anything to play out at all. If most of these news sites are starting to incorporate AI, we're all in for a world of hurt as far as fake news goes - as if there wasn't enough of it already.

    I agree with this. But hanging is a thing of the past.

    That's because the media is actually publishing all of this. They were either told not to, or just didn't want to report all of the things the Republicans were going after the Biden administration for.

    Other than that, the Democrats haven't done their jobs in the past (at least) 4 years, either. Why would they start now?

    Treason can carry the death penalty.
    Politicians have done political favors for china, russia and other countries for monetary gain for themselves and family members. For example, Russia and other countries paid money into american lobbying firms for politicians.

    If we'd start hanging these fuckers instead ignoring it, we'd get rid
    of the bad ones. Instead they become lifetime participants in our branches of govt and that is why everything sucks.

    This is actually very common. Depedning on the type of case and the charges, the term is "preponderence of the evidence", and the "burden of proof" is not "beyond a reasonable doubt". If the burden needs to be beyond doubt, then the only two answers are yes/no. Otherwise (in about 80% of all cases), the burdenis lower and the ruling only needs to be it "likely happened".

    If it's very common, that's probably why they get replaced and/or voted out so often.

    That said, I'll "likely" not believe rulings like this, or take them seriously.

    it's just a waste of time and it ties up shit in court until it's thrown out or not pursued. it's sandbagging.

    It is how it is supposed to work. It is not a "waste of time", unless you don'tunderstand the system and misinterpret what is happening. Which I assume is thecase, based on your other comment, "the judge should be impeached for it". For

    fine. Change the rules instead of the penalizing people for obeying the rules as currently written.

    Maybe there is a language barrier at work here, but as far as I thought, accepting a case as solid enough for further research was not "ruling".

    Correct. It can also mean the judge believes the case is solid enough to implement an injunction, like to force the government to take the employees back and with backpay.
