Low key? There is no Low Key defying a court order. There’s only right out CONTEMPT, Trump should be in jail? Why should be alone be above the law?
In 2025, a sitting US president openly defying the courts is considered “low-key.”
It’s low key in the sense that Trump seems to have been prepared to disobey the order, but it never took effect. The order was “pay people what you owe them by Wednesday at 11:59pm,” and the Trump admin got an order from the Supreme Court pausing that requirement until further notice.
What’s notable is that Trump’s lawyer said “yes we know we have to comply with court orders but this one is literally impossible to comply with in time,” which is the type of position that makes a token gesture towards complying, while also showing that they weren’t going to comply in time.
“Low-key” as in he’s found a relatively low-key way to defy a judge’s order. Any kind of defying a judge’s order is of course a very dramatic action.
Well, thanks to the supreme court, it’s all legal, right?
Only if it’s a power of the executive branch defined in the constitution. The SC interprets this, and they’ve already sided against him a few times.
They’re power hungry traitors, and power hungry traitors don’t take kindly to people trying to undermine their power.
The Modern Media:
“How about we don’t make a big fuss or devote too much time to this, instead let’s report it like a niche rap album that everyone’s sleeping on”.
“Lowkey Trump’s high crimes and treason is the best album y’all been sleeping on.”
DO YOUR JOB MEDIA! The reason things aren’t getting news coverage is because you’re choosing not to make them an issue! You’re supposed to be BROADCASTING HIS WRONG DOINGS, AND PUSHING SHAME ON REPUBLICANS ENABLING HIM.
They’re so damn complicit in minimizing his crimes. They’re why his supporters don’t know jack shit. What responsible media outlet refers to a President defying the law as a “low key” event??? It’s insane!!!
I guess the definition for low key has lost all meaning.
Talking Points Memo isn’t really an appropriate source for unbiased news…
As much as I agree with a lot of what they say.
How so? They obviously have an editorial line but they never make any factual claims that aren’t true.
The fact that it’s editorial. I mean, bias doesn’t automatically mean bad information. I’m only saying that this is a news community and TPM would be more appropriate in a politics community.
But whatever. You do you.
This is a news piece not an editorial. “Editorial line” means they have a publicly shared opinion on what’s happening, not that they’re not doing hard news.
