Well, so far this term Trump is 0-2 in the Supreme Court and Roberts was in the majority on both, so that’s considerably less than “100% in the tank for Trump”.

Granted, but we’ll see when something that actually helps or hinders Trump’s plans appears on his docket. Ruling that people who are owed money should be paid is not much of a slapdown.
Pretty sure Fox News will have an increasingly hard time trying to spin all this dysfunction to MAGA viewers especially if serious threats to Social Security and Medicare are actually implemented, and maybe that is what’ll be required for a lot of people to finally come to their senses.
I mean, Jesse Waters can smooth things over only so much. 
Actually speaking of that never-polished-enough turd…
aw, maaaaaa…
So the government has actually handed over the money?
edited to add: oops, no. The last line reads “The court delayed acting on the case for a week. In the meantime, the contractors have not been paid.”
Referring to the week before that ruling was issued, which was on March 5th.
So has the money actually been released to USAID by the government?
If you have a cite that it hasn’t, then why are you keeping it to yourself?
Our USAID project is still 100% shutdown. No huge spigot in CA turned on yet.
Why are you attempting to answer a question with a question? I am not seeing anything in your link that says the money has actually been given by the government to USAID. Your own fucking link is my cite.
So you don’t have a cite, then.
Are you saying USAID funding has already been restored?
Your own link is my cite. Nothing in your link says that the money was actually paid out.
No, because that’s not what this ruling was about, it was about back payments to contractors for work already done.
Correct! That’s because it’s an article about the ruling that was written on the day of the ruling. It cannot make statements about events in the future. That’s how causality works.
Now do you have a cite for your off-topic unsolicited gotcha ya or not?
Well, I’ve had Smapti on ignore since he came out in favor of genocide, but I think I can infer his position from all the replies: The leopard won’t actually eat anyone’s faces because that would be illegal. Pay no attention to the mass of blood and puss where my face used to be. Tis but a flesh wound, I assure you!
You’d be wrong - but seeing as I’ve never “come out in favor of genocide”, that seems to be par for the course for you.
Did I forget to thank you for providing the cite I needed? I am so sorry about that.
So to recap, your proof that the administration is defying the Supreme Court is that an article about its ruling, written on the day of its ruling, does not say that events set to take place on a future date have already happened.
Isn’t there another thread you can shit on with your “Trump is all powerful and the tides themselves obey his command” schtick?
That’s your schtick, not mine, bucky.
Interesting typo.
Nah, they’ll just blame the Dems. “You may have noticed a disruption in your Social Security payments. Trump is working hard to reform and fix the system and replace it with something better, but those evil Democrats are sabotaging and disrupting his efforts. It’s their fault you’re not getting paid.” Cue stochastic terrorism.
