Trump wants Judge James Boasberg impeached [1]

The judge who has ordered the Justice Department to answer in writing by noon today on when they thought his order to turn the planes around carrying Venezuelans to El Salvador took effect, is being attacked by Trump personally, without using his name. But, there's no doubt who he means.
The New York Times had the details of the confrontation between the judge and the Justice Department lawyers yesterday.
Especially poignant was the judge's comment about the Justice Department treating his verbal order from the bench differently from his written order. He commented, "That's a heckuva stretch."
Donald Trump does not like to be thwarted, so he lashed out just a little while ago at the judge. Also at Barack Obama for having nominated him to the bench.
Radical left lunatic, a troublemaker and an agitator. And then he has to call out Obama with his middle name, Hussein, just to take a cheap shot like he always did about calling him a Muslim.
He starts out with the judge, but then spends half of his rant about President Obama.
First off, Obama won the popular vote both in 2008 and 2012. Four Pinocchio's on Trump. I'm not even going to bother about the seven swing States or counties. Statistics there are interesting, but not important when an election is won.
"HE DIDN'T WIN ANYTHING!"
He won the election both times. I'd call that winning. Unlike in 2020 where you lost bigly.
"OVERWHELMING MANDATE."
His fantasy knows no bounds. He's living in an alternate reality. He's convinced himself he's has one, so it must be true because he thinks it. Just like he thinks he can declassify documents by thinking about them. Delusional.
"I'm just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do."
No, you're not. The voters thought you were just kidding about the insane policies you were proposing. They thought you were being sarcastic. Just like you said that you were being sarcastic about promising to solve the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Silly them.
"This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges' I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!"
I don't know what the apostrophe after judges is supposed to be all about, but he's definitely serious about impeachment with the three exclamation points.
Being against vicious and violent, I understand.
"...DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS..."
I thought, "deranged" and "demented" were reserved for Jack Smith, Nancy Pelosi, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis. Must have missed something somewhere.
But, if they're all those things, I don't want them in our country, either. Then, I have to include you, with them, as people I don't want in this country. You're a much bigger danger to our country than they are.
Once again, a judge has destroyed the image of Donald Trump's omnipotent invincibility. He's whining like a five year-old. No, that's crediting him with too much. He's a two year-old.
No matter what the Venezuelans had actually done, they're still entitled to due process in the Fifth Amendment, and the right to counsel from the Sixth Amendment along with a right to a trial. That's how our democracy works, Donald. People have rights that you are not allowed to trample, no matter how dictatorial you try to be.
By my watch, it's past noon time in Washington DC, and your lawyers have to have turned in their explanation of what the hell happened when the judge ordered the planes to be turned around and they weren't.
Trump is going to like this even less.
Chief Justice Roberts just issued a statement saying that what Trump said was completely inappropriate, without naming him. But it was obvious coming out hours after Trump's post.
CNN report on Roberts comment.
Nothing yet on the Judge Boasberg proceedings. But the fur will be flying soon.
Trump's next post will be even crazier. Will he dare to say something about Roberts? Could he be that stupid?
Yup.
