newrepublic.com Judge Who Made Life Hell for Trump Will Oversee Case on Elon Musk

A major lawsuit against Elon Musk just got assigned to his new nightmare: Judge Tanya Chutkan.

Summary

Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over Donald Trump’s election interference case, has been assigned a major lawsuit challenging Elon Musk’s authority in the federal government.

The suit, filed by 14 states, claims Musk wields unprecedented executive power, including control over federal funds and agencies.

Chutkan, a frequent Trump critic, previously imposed a gag order on him.

While Trump and Musk have yet to comment, right-wing figures are already attacking Chutkan, signaling an upcoming political and legal battle over executive power.

Life hell? Do any of you feel that Trump’s life has ever been “hell?”
- He's gotten away with a lot and supposedly has a lot of money, but to be honest I really don't envy him. He seems miserable inside.
  
  I actually have some sympathy for young Trump, in the same way I feel a little bad for young Kissinger because he was beaten up by Nazis. Fuck everything about who he’s become and what he's done, burn him at the stake. But from what I’ve heard about his childhood and family that was probably a really shitty way to be a kid
  
  Yeah it sucks that his mom was pretty absent and his dad was basically a sociopath, but not everyone with garbage parents grows up to oversee the deaths of millions.
  
  No doubt, he’s not absolved in any capacity. I just feel bad for the actual child he once was, not the man that child became
  
  I feel this way about Barron Trump every time I see him. He's barely got any chance of leading a decent, moral life. I guarantee mental health issues have already begun to manifest. For fuck's sake his dad named the kid after his alter ego, John Barron.
- I comfort myself with the fact that pretty much every waking moment of his life has been hell-- he's just too dumb to realize it.
  He's never accomplished or learned anything, known love or had a friend, and his family either hates him or are sycophantic extensions of his own ego. A lifetime of shitting in gold toilets will never change the fact that he's a failure that made everything and everyone he touched worse, and will be logged in history books as the puppet figurehead that more intelligent fascists used for their own purposes.
  
  He shits in his pants now!
- He (and his allies) had to take 10 years of Greta Thunberg scolding him. He’s pretty thin skinned.
  
  I don't think it's been 10y. I just checked and she's 22 now. She started protesting with she was 15. So more like 7y. That would have been during the 1st Trump admin I guess.
  
  I don’t either. It’s a quote from JD Vance.
- It's a figure of speech. Nobody thinks she made his life actual, literal hell.
  
  No shit Sherlock
  
  The person you're responding to is not actual literal Sherlock Holmes, FYI.
  
  I see what you’ve done there. ;)
- Was going to say... a bit like saying "the one who's closest to reaching jupiter".
