“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.
When Biden said “Would you shut up, man?” that should have been it. A cathartic release and then a decisive electoral defeat.

As a socialist, that likely would have been it. If Biden had just kept his promise and stuck to running for one term.
