“I’m sort of suing myself,” Donald Trump said openly in the months before he sued the IRS for $10 billion. Now, unless his private lawyers succeed in overturning a judge’s sanctions order on appeal, the president may well have to pay the legal fees of former judges and ex-IRS officials who opposed the case in a way the DOJ never did.

Trump filed an expedited motion on Friday asking U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams to halt her sanctions order and “related proceedings” until the president’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund”-focused appeal runs its course at the 11th Circuit.

      It’s not like an invasion is gonna happen tomorrow, but “neighbors with guns” ain’t gonna stop one if it did happen. Not unless all your neighbors also happen to have fleets of attack aircraft, a ton of anti aircraft rounds, millions of rounds of ammo , the logistics to move all that stuff around and so on.

        I’m not sure I understand what power is going to try to put soldiers on the streets on the US. Seems pretty unlikely to me.
