Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
Courts mean nothing if no one enforces their rulings.
Judge: "Police, I demand you arrest these police!"
Oooh! The strongly worded letters are getting even more strongly worded!
Is this better or worse than a "slam"? What about a "blast"?
“Politician Ignites Explosive Firestorm With Routine Decision as Critics Slam Controversial Move, Outrage Erupts Nationwide, Panic Surges Over Alleged Hidden Agenda and Demands for Answers Detonate Across a Shocked Public”
Translation:
“A politician carried out a routine administrative action. A small number of opponents criticized the choice publicly. Some people posted complaints online. Nothing about the situation indicates any misconduct.”
Wow, a fine! That'll surely teach Trump that fascism isn't welcome! Perhaps attach a strongly worded letter to the payment order, too!
'Monetary Sanctions'
Fuck you; ISSUE ARREST WARRANTS YOU SPINELESS CUNT
You can only issue arrest warrants for criminal contempt, meaning Trump can just issue a pardon. Civil contempt isn't subject to the pardon power.
And the people.to issue the contempt judgements against aren't Trump and team. They need to issue them to the foot soldiers. It sounds weak, but it's effective.
I work in in the development department of a very small municipality that's an enclave for the mega-rich. Literally 100% of households are at least multi-millionaires. The average new house being built is about 8 million dollars. That means that when we Rey tonfine homeowners for illegal shit, it means nothing because they can just write a check if they don't want to comply.
So we've recently changed tactics on code enforcement. We start by telling them to stop and issuing a citation to the owners, but when they don't we fine the individual workers on site and if things aren'tcleaned up we start to cite them each $500/day until they start to comply. It didn't take long until the rich assholes couldn't find workers willing to do their bidding.
So instead of something like proportional fines related to the value of the properties, you’ve fucked over the working class for violations that they didn’t commit, didn’t know about, and likely had no control over? Do you have any idea what an unexpected $500, $1000, or $1500 bill can do to a family that is struggling? Are these fines even legal? What types of violations by the rich are the working class being made to pay for? Do you also send warnings to the workers before taking their money, or do the owners get a warning and you just hope they tell everyone else? I find this little story completely abhorrent and I hope some of these workers sue your organization and get their money back.
This happens all the time even on the federal level. My company just ate a several thousand $ fine because we were working on a site where the plumbers didn't mark an open pit while plumbing a mop sink. We were the HVAC contractors working on the roof. We were not even working in the same area and had no way of knowing what the plumbers were doing. OSHA didn't care. Every company who was working the job got hit with a fine for continuing work on an unsafe site. It's complete bullshit but, at the same time, everyone onsite is going to think twice about ever working with those plumbers again. So even though it's complete and utter shit, it is probably the most effective tool at their disposal with current laws.
Fines are more civil and not subject to pardon.
State criminal charges are not subject to federal pardons either.
Isn't there more to it than that because these are federal agents? Asking.
Depending on circumstances, federal agents can be charged with state crimes.
Who gives a fuck about showing the Nazis civility? Punch them in the dicks and take their shit
I think they meant civil versus criminal rather than nice vs mean.
I think you’re both right.
Fair enough. That isn't how I interpreted the comment but you could be right
Yes
But, we're paying them
Quick question unrelated to the article. Is that white thing on trumps glass an anti dribble sippy cup type lid?
Those are little paper toppers to keep things from falling in the glass. We can pretend it's a sippy topper for kicks though.
As much as that would be hilarious… no when water is set out ahead of time they’ll put a little paper cover on the tops of the glasses to get dust or whatever from getting in there. Now as to why he clearly hadn’t drunk from that glass… 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'm giving "explicit notice" for the entire judicial system to EAT MY ASS. Fucking do something already. This continual warning bullshit has worked wonders so far. FUCK.
For real. The order itself is the fucking warning.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Even so, it won't be enforced.
Watch out guys. i think they mean it this time. For really really real. Not kidding around any more.
The Trump admin are shaking in their boots at this FINAL NOTICE. They better watch their step or they might be getting a FINAL FINAL NOTICE next!

The DHS will use any notices of contempt and sanctions as toilet paper as soon as they are done passing around the constitution.
At this point, I feel like the only thing they will listen to is on the spot executions.
That's a testable hypothesis!
Nobody copies the French and the French copy nobody.
We COULD if we wanted to.
Oh no, he's going to get a rich people ticket guys. He's in real trouble now /s
It's still extremely unusual for district judges to title a section of their order "Final Notice".
