The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday sued Donald Trump’s administration for recent television advertisements that promoted his political message while costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the ads are illegal government-sponsored propaganda and accuses Trump of personally directing them. It asks the court to declare the ads illegal and stop the use of federal funds to pay for them.
Trump has faced bipartisan backlash for the ads, which glorify him and echo his campaign pitch as voters cast early ballots with the midterm elections less than a month away.
And how would they stop him? Even if they tell him he can’t, they can’t enforce it. And nearly all Republicans in Congress have turned a blind eye to his shenanigans so far. The fact that they haven’t impeached him yet means that they are fine with this. I don’t give a shit what they actually say. Actions matter more than words.
The courts have stopped them many dozens of times at this point and it can happen again. It’s one thing to doom when something bad happens, but it’s very annoying when people doom in advance. That’s exactly what the GOP wants us to do.
We’ve already seen them ignore court orders many times.
Yes.
People need to stop blaming Trump.
Every fucking Republican is the problem.
All of them.
Democrats are fucking shit, but at least they are not fucking authoritarian Christo fascists.
INB4 some joker is all “bUt tHeY aRe ThE sAmE” then makes some comment about fucking Gaza.
A good saying I heard recently is that voting for a candidate is like picking a bus route. It won’t usually take you exactly where you want to go, so you pick the one that gets you closest.
Not only have Republicans refused to impeach him but Democrats have also blocked impeachment proceedings at least twice this term.
