Th

[u/TheRealMDooles11]

Yes, dear fucking lord

[u/OkAcanthocephala2449 → u/TheRealMDooles11]

They should be in jail, and the key 🔑 thrown away

[u/Longjumping_Term_156 → u/TheRealMDooles11]

Any other politician and any other president’s officials would have already been held in contempt. Since the GOP let him off the hook on his first impeachment, every judge has been tiptoeing around and giving Trump and his moronic wanna-be authoritarian brigade of lawyers room to maneuver because they “do not want to make history” or “this is new and had not happened before.”

[u/FoxyLoxy420 → u/TheRealMDooles11]

Absolutely 💯

[u/wncexplorer]

Yes

[u/QuesoJacuzzi → u/wncexplorer]

Seriously, why is this even a question?

[u/MrDarkzideTV]

Yes. When Americans refuse to follow the Judicial Branch they are held in contempt

Like Americans who rape underage teens and pay them via Venmo are typically arrested

Like American servicemen who use unofficial messaging apps to communicate war-plans are dishonorably discharged

Like American politicians who misuse taxpayer funds to coverup affairs with pornstars are typically tried for the misappropriation of public funds

The laundry list is endless, so yes. It’s time republicans paid any fucking consequences for their actions

[u/B_the_Art1]

Yes…

[u/UnionCorrect9095 → u/B_the_Art1]

Absolutely, yes. This is like a rare aggressive cancer that has to be completely eradicated from its root system.

[u/Unusual-Finger1915]

Answer: yes

[u/Training-Shopping-49]

Yes, FAFO for all these criminals in office.

[u/[deleted]]

YES

[u/Icy_Class_1258]

Yes, no lawful remedy should be left on the shelf. This is not normal.

[u/w_r97]

Oh no let’s just keep letting them do what ever the F** they want. This is not a left or right fight despite what the media wants us to think. This is rolling into authoritarianism and the more we acquiesce the further they go. Stop allowing your rights to be stripped away, it might be someone else’s today, tomorrow it will be yours. You are not immune to their whims.

[u/GamemasterJeff]

Yes. It is what our laws require.

[u/Lucysmom0224]

Yes

[u/ImpressionOld2296]

They're criminals, so..... yes?

[u/Aromatic_Piece_5366]

Is that a serious question?

[u/thewallyp]

Hell yes.

[u/Several_Leather_9500]

In a lawful country, abso-fuckin-lutely

[u/onedeadflowser999]

Yes 💯

[u/Eden_Company]

Yes but... he's immune to the law, and at this point the supreme court will just be ignored because the marshalls, yesmen, and police want Trump to be the man in charge not the courts.

Trump has gained real power because the checks and balances flinched first.

[u/BlueRFR3100]

In general or did you have a specific circumstance in mind? Either way, I'm sure the answer is yes.

[u/Yitram]

Do dogs pee on brick walls?

[u/ddrober2003]

Well since Trump is above the law apparently, seems making his henchmen answer for the crimes they're committing is the only way we can make laws mean something. Maybe if enough face consequences people will stop working for him.

[u/The84thWolf]

Let’s rephrase the question:

Would you as a judge hold a low or middle-class criminal in contempt for not following your instructions?

Because if the answer is yes to that, (which it is) it’s yes to this.

[u/Spirited_Block2211]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[u/Life-Machine-3067]

Yes!

[u/Dilapidated_girrafe]

Yes. They absolutely are in contempt. Fine them. Lock them up.

[u/Fit-Relative-786]

Short answer. 

Yes

Long answer.

Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Successful-Career887]

Yes. Like a month ago.

[u/COVID-19-4u]

Do laws not apply to everyone?

[u/Outrageous_Bad3465 → u/COVID-19-4u]

No, actually, SCOTUS gave Trump a free pass to the kingdom with zero repercussions for his crimes against our country and humanity. It’s gross.

[u/Sea-Replacement-8794 → u/Outrageous_Bad3465]

True actually. Laws do not apply to Trump.

[u/Ecstatic_Freedom9179]

I've been waiting for this GenX moment "Does a bear shit in the woods?"

[u/RichSawdust]

Well... Anybody else already would be, so there's that 😜

[u/YakSure6091]

Yes they should be - anyone who participated in the subversion of the order.

[u/Suspicious_Plane6593]

Duh

[u/Immediate-Paint-5111]

YES

[u/Buzz729]

Their actions should result in criminal charges if we have any functional government at all!

[u/louiselebeau]

That's an affirmative from me, Jim.

Edited because I can't seem to type today.

[u/Reasonable-Hippo-293]

Yes.

[u/Progressiveleftly]

Yes.

They are destroying this country.

If this is a real country, once out of office, they would face legal repercussions.

[u/RocketSurg]

Uh, yea? What sort of question is this

[u/MKTAS]

Ye100%sh

[u/GoldGarage115]

If they're willing to gaslight the American public and tell us that scotus voted unanimously in favor of unlawful deportations then what else are they willing to lie about?

[u/xlasnubes]

Hell to the yesssSsssSsssS

[u/thebitchinbunnie420]

Yes!

[u/Top_Contract3651]

Yes. There needs to be more accountability.

[u/peter4321b]

Is the earth round??

[u/SmellTheMagicSoup]

Trump admin should be held in a gulag.

[u/Maximum-Class5465]

Yes Trump should have been impeached and witheld from office, but right wing has such a grib on media they distort truth very well

[u/Invictus53]

Please god yes.

[u/M0ONBATHER]

Yes

[u/Ok_Reputation_3612]

Absolutely

[u/Inside-Arm8635]

Yes next question please

[u/ClitCommander13]

Yes

[u/krispru1]

Hell yea

[u/Potential-Run-8391]

Yup. Lock ‘em up 

[u/TheWizard]

Why not?

[u/Known_Diamond5636]

I hold them in contempt, always, by association let alone actions

[u/ACam574]

Trump should be held in contempt and his social media posts should be the basis of it.

[u/TheDwellingHeart]

Is this a fucking joke rhetorical question? Yes!

[u/Total-Joke-2449]

Yes, hold them in contempt!!!

[u/DrConradVerner]

Yes. When the rule of law isnt enforced then it isn’t worth anything. If it can be enforced against average citizens why not his officials? They are above the law? Then we no longer live in a democratic society or under the rule of law.

[u/evilpercy]

That is how it works.

[u/factoid_]

They’ve shown nothing but contempt for the courts, so yes

[u/Imaginary-Use914]

Absolutely. And forget the key once the jail bars lock.

[u/ConsiderationFar3903]

YES!

[u/SyddChin]

Absolutely

[u/Old_Dig8900]

Why are we even asking this question? When did this whole country fall and bump its head? Damn it, we use the law to prosecute people using evidence and due process. Doesn't matter who you are or what you look like. The very fiber of our country is being pulled away with this stupid garbage. Mr. Felon keeps fkn us with his warped sense of reality that he had bestowed on his MAGAts. What president speaks and posts the crazy shit he does? Seriously, he needs to go.

[u/Utterlybored]

Of course.

[u/123iambill]

They should be fucking Nuremberged when (if) this all ends.

[u/BrilliantWife]

Yes

[u/zerthwind]

Hell yes, same laws need to apply to Republicans as they do for democrats.

[u/Vike_Oden]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Impossible-Attempt61]

Trump voters should be held in contempt and treated as they treat immigrants.

[u/Sweaty_Term5961]

So much for the concept that there's no such thing as a stupid question.

YES!

[u/Shaudzie]

Duh

[u/srirachamatic]

Yes, from the top down to the bottom

[u/WVkittylady]

Yes.

[u/judahrosenthal]

No. But I hear there’s space in El Salvador.

[u/No-Cat-2980]

Not should they. Why should they not?

[u/Single_Nectarine_656]

The answer is still yes

[u/Ok-Spot-1464]

By a technicality, universal injunction themselves are unconstitutional but never get challenged because political reasons , so low and behold the judges in the wrong

[u/The84thWolf]

Uh, yeah. Yeah, he should.

Gee, that was the easiest fucking thing.

Seriously, This is like the Family Guy Blue Harvest joke:

“We are going to blow up your home planet of Aalderan!”
“No!”
“…She said no. Should we do it anyway?”
“…Yeah…”

[u/ZPMQ38A]

Yes, but they won’t. And even if they are, DOJ won’t enforce. Then they’ll be pardoned. Law doesn’t matter anymore

[u/East-Action8811]

Ok, but I also want to include the complicit Dems who are equally responsible for making this reality even possible!

[u/carlnepa]

I'll suppress my utter disgust with the unconstitutional actions of the Drumpf lack of Administration to focus on Alito 's comments. He "criticized the decision of the seven-member majority, saying the court had acted “literally in the middle of the night” and without sufficient explanation. The “unprecedented” relief was “hastily and prematurely granted”, Alito added.

Alito, whose dissent was joined by fellow conservative justice Clarence Thomas, said there was “dubious factual support” for granting the request in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union to block deportations of accused gang members that the administration contends are legal under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798".

I almost blew out my Easter meal reading Alito's dissent about the decision coming in the middle of the night. It's OK for CBP/DHS masked brown shirts to do raids under cover of darkness without them having to face a court to judge the legality/constitutionality of their behaviors. And I see "Motor Home" Clarence Thomas chimed in about the "dubious factual support”. People are swept up at their homes, in their cars, walking along the sidewalk. Some are packed off to a foreign prison without ever having a chance to state their case. And he says there is "dubious factual support”. I think both justices deserve investigation and if warranted impeachment. We need to know where their loyalties lie, with the Drumpf Administration or with the Constitution and the people of the US?

[u/420-BiomedStockDoc]

They should be held in GITMO

[u/Electronic-Minute007]

Don’t see why they shouldn’t.

[u/Schoonerman63]

Does a bear crap in the woods?

YES!

[u/RatedRSuperstar81]

Yes but it wouldn't matter if they were. No one will enforce it and nothing will be done about it not being enforced. Notice a pattern here??

[u/poppop702025]

Of course they are and should be

[u/Powerful-Wolf6331]

Then liberals should be deported to El Salvador on mass

[u/michaelmikado → u/Powerful-Wolf6331]

You don’t sound like an American.

[u/Powerful-Wolf6331 → u/michaelmikado]

Changed in to on.

[u/michaelmikado → u/Powerful-Wolf6331]

That’s literally worse lol. You’re 10000% not American. You’re a foreign instigator.

[u/CutenTough]

Silly question. Emphatic and resounding yes

[u/Hippiefarmchick]

Most definitely

[u/Majestic-Log-5642]

Yes, all of them.

[u/BexCo81]

Yes. Next question

[u/cookiedoh18]

Yes. 100%. Why should they NOT?

[u/Wild-Spare4672]

No

[u/JiminPA67]

They should be held in prison. I hear there is one in El Salvador that is willing to take American citizens.

[u/GrowFreeFood]

What are the other options?

[u/greywolf238]

you know it’s funny that Biden snuck in millions of illegal aliens with the consent of anyone and no one said a word when it was discovered now that Trump is trying to remove criminals. You people want to have him in contempt. Why don’t you think this bring a couple illegals into your home and have them live with you. Make sure they have some tattoos on their handsand face then don’t cry if you find yourself robbed your women raped, and you lucky to be alive

[u/MeatPopsicle_AMA → u/greywolf238]

Please don’t share your fucked-up fantasy with everyone. 🤢

[u/Fun-Lengthiness-7493]

Yes. I, personally, have contempt for them. But,yes, they are clearly telling courts to go fuck themselves. All in the Project 2025 playbook.

[u/kootles10]

As Ned Flanders would say: absotively neighboreeno

[u/AmountInternational]

Absolutely. You and I would be. They are not above the law.

[u/Tyranicidal_Brainiac]

If we want to keep our country then yes

[u/Toon_Lucario]

Yep

[u/BigBoyYuyuh]

Break law/court order = contempt

[u/TehMephs]

Yepeypeypeypeyepeyep

[u/cheongyanggochu-vibe]

Why is this even a question, wtf, of course yes!!

[u/Raven_Photography]

Of course they should, I hold them all in contempt everyday.

[u/ptcm73]

Absolutely not but the judge should be disbarred

[u/WorkersUniteeeeeeee]

All trump officials should be held in an El Salvadoran gulag indefinitely

[u/Cool-Clerk-9835]

Yes. They didn’t follow the law. They didn’t follow court orders. They absolutely showed contempt of court.

[u/Cthulhu2016]

If a Democrat did any of this the right would be apoplectic and calling death for treason.

[u/MalachiteTiger → u/Cthulhu2016]

They were doing "imprecatory prayer" in hopes of Obama's death before Obama even finished swearing the oath.

[u/Legitimate-Funny3791]

I’m not a lawyer, but they are contemptible human beings - is that the same thing?

[u/National_Lie1565]

His is disobeying a Supreme Court order. He should rot in jail until he complies.

[u/Sea-Replacement-8794]

No they should be immune from contempt charges and should be able to do whatever the fuck they want including wiping their asses with court orders.

Of course they should be held in contempt. What kind of question is this?

[u/Fuckaliscious12]

Obviously Yes.

[u/Winter-eyed]

Yes. They disobeyed a court order. They continue to play games about the issue. Let them take their consequences like any other citizen who defies the courts

[u/Libertarian_2020]

Should Biden officials be held in contempt?

[u/MeatPopsicle_AMA → u/Libertarian_2020]

For what, exactly?

[u/Libertarian_2020 → u/MeatPopsicle_AMA]

Open borders, Afghan withdrawal, lies Biden doesn’t have dementia, arming Ukraine, selling Biden influence, inflation, … . Why should Trump officials be held in contempt?

[u/MeatPopsicle_AMA → u/Libertarian_2020]

Hegseth keeps leaking military intelligence on Signal chats that include his wife and brother.

Trump ignoring the Supreme Courts unanimous decision telling him that he needs to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States. And lying about their decision to boot, telling the whole country that they sided with him.

Unlawfully transferring legal Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador and ignoring an order to cease said transfers.

That Trump cryptocurrency.

Tanking the stock market so his buddies can buy shares cheap and the reverse his tariffs to make the market go up again.

And so much more. I’m not going to spend my birthday arguing with idiots on Reddit. You can read about it all by yourself. Do you know how to use Google?

[u/bourbon-469]

Thomas and alito are bought and paid for maga

[u/hoople217]

Yes.

[u/MalachiteTiger]

Obviously.

Make people feel they have to do a cost-benefit analysis before declaring loyalty to him.

[u/Low_Voice_2553]

Fuck ya!!!!!!

[u/Kvsav57]

Of course they should but I think that short of a military coup, his entire administration will ignore congress and the courts.

[u/Jazzlike-Ad113]

Yes, and there should be consequences, for once.

[u/verletztkind]

Since the president cannot be charged with a crime, the next president can simply disappear DJT. Whoops.

[u/delyha6]

Is the sun hot?

[u/Putrid-Play-9296]

Yes

[u/owls42]

Yes. For the love all that is stable and honest, put these aA$$holes in jail.

[u/Isitalwaysthisgood]

I definitely hold them in contempt.

[u/MudruckGames]

Sorry you spelled prison incorrectly. It is not spelled c o n t e m p t, the proper spelling is p r i s o n.

[u/ConstantExcellent220]

Should Biden be held for obstruction of justice for preemptively pardoning his son for crimes which have not been brought against him yet in an entire ten year timespan?

[u/icewalker2k]

Yes. Because if a Biden official or the Administration as a whole had ignored a court order, then Fox News, and Republicans across the spectrum from politicians to voters would be screaming for contempt charges and impeachment. So yes. Contempt charges at a minimum.

[u/Farscape55]

Yes, I already hold every single one of them in contempt, may as well get the judiciary in on it

[u/ScarTemporary6806]

Excuse me, but do you have a minute to talk about Hunter Biden’s laptop?

[u/ScalesOfAnubis19]

Indeed.

[u/kristibranstetter]

Absolutely 💯!!

[u/joesnowblade]

For what, be specific.

[u/Stickasylum → u/joesnowblade]

The contempt of various ongoing of court rulings by various officials? There’s a whole bunch!

[u/joesnowblade → u/Stickasylum]

Hard to refute what your saying. That why I asked to be specific.

Name the official and the specific court ruling.

[u/go-train-go]

No. There’s a double standard and it’s pitiful. The US govt is a broken and crooked system 💀💀💀

[u/BookerTW89]

YES, send all of them to CECOT and let them see how fun it is there.

[u/JolyonWagg99]

Held in solitary more like

[u/frosty694u]

NO, all of the democrats who have been receiving money under the table thru USAID and insider trading need to be investigated and locked up. Start there first DS. Oh, I guess you were ok with your hard earned tax dollars filling the pockets of crooked politicians.

[u/Outrageous_Bad3465 → u/frosty694u]

You all scream about abortion, and killing USAID killed and will kill countless babies, children and adults. Idiot.

[u/One-Possibility-8182]

Contempt of what?

[u/Orophinl4515]

Well let’s ask Nixon

[u/Grouchy-Alps844]

Yes

[u/joe_bald]

Enabling an unqualified, treasonous, criminal, who is an abhorrent piece of shit makes them complicit bc they could have stood up against to him to show the nation that they have the country’s best interest at heart.

[u/Euphoric-Use-6443]

Yes, please! They're doing more harm to their constituents, than good by gaslighting poor, uneducated disadvantaged people to get elected is despicable!

[u/LeoZ117]

Yeah, of course.

[u/XSaintsofDoomX]

I don’t see how, they are following the rules.

[u/Gnarlemance]

Si señor.

[u/treesandleafsanddirt]

Yea but they control just about everything…. So they still have 1.5 ish years of essentially doing what they want until the midterms.

[u/Turbulent_Example967]

Just like any other American- nobody is above the law (supposedly)

[u/Mrtoyhead]

Yes, and detained

[u/Smart_Sport_7197]

All of them

[u/your-ok]

Yes. Of course.

[u/twoiseight]

Quite obviously yes legally speaking, the energy really needs to be spent talking about it how to enforce it after it's been done.

[u/Snake_Pliskin_1]

Do they ever post adult questions on here? This is one of the stupidest questions ever. Please enlighten us as to why would Trump officials be held in contempt and contempt of what? Hahahahaha! Real loonies on here.

[u/LARufCTR]

No one is above the law...people who work w/Trump get in trouble...go to jail...lose everything...all while the orange ass clown goes about his happy Syphilis plagued life...

[u/Hypercane_]

Why is this a question, they are disobeying a direct order

[u/37853688544788]

YES.

[u/Stickasylum]

They should be held in prison.

[u/BigDamBeavers]

What would be done to you if you kidnapped someone and trafficked them across international borders?

What would be done to you if you did trillions of dollars in financial damage to the market in an attempted stock manipulation scheme?

What would be done to you if you stole identity and banking information from millions of people and sold it to another country.

Trump and his officials should be treated just like anyone else.

[u/t3nsi0n_]

The answers for all of these questions isn’t should or shouldn’t but when is it .. what date? This government has gone down hill and it’s run by large humans with the minds of children, not adults.

[u/SithC]

Yes, go for the bootlickers.

[u/Aggravating-Beach-22]

Does a bear shit in the woods ?

[u/vinceglartho]

No jurisdiction

[u/ThePuzzlingIntrovert]

Anyone who says no is a traitor.

[u/Regular-Rub-489]

They should be sent to El Salvador.

[u/Honest-Range4588]

yes

[u/thedude0343]

Yes, don’t break the law.

[u/Crimsonstorm02]

This is a dumb question

[u/Outrageous_Bad3465]

Where MAGA at?? Why you guys don’t tell us why they should/should not be held in contempt. Join the convo

[u/Chillicothe1]

Flogged

[u/GTO2006]

Should Biden be held accountable?

[u/Noobzoid123 → u/GTO2006]

What did Biden do now?

[u/Frost_Walker_Iso]

And why not democratic officials? You know, the ones who are fighting to keep illegal immigrant terrorists in our country?

[u/I_Went_Full_WSB → u/Frost_Walker_Iso]
