#2> Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blamed congressional Democrats
Something traitorous about the Secretary of a Federal office blaming a political party

#3> ICE and Customs and Border Protection personnel are continuing their paid work under $75 billion in funding approved last year under President Donald Trump’s tax cut and spending law.
If only there was budget somewhere else under DHS’ purview they could spend on TSA…

Its also the president's role to lead and unite to get an agenda done. They need to work with Congress to pass laws that they can then sign into law.
Trump does the complete opposite, all while vomiting garbage about anyone who doesn't directly do his bidding.

#5this incompetent administration will harm everyone else & blame everyone else but not themselves
they do something illegal, are taken to court - lose in court - then blame the court.
I feel after a few iterations of them losing in court - they're going to start abducting / blackmailing judges and having placeholder judges who can make judgements to please them

What's ironic to me is that the Republicans have packed the highest court with their judges and still somehow don't get everything illegal action sanctioned.

Well said. The outcome with the tariffs should be a clear indicator of the administration's complete incompetence. Unfortunately Trump's one skill is confidence games and his hardcore supporters will end up writing it off as something like "deep state" sabotage.
This utter lack of leadership being displayed so clearly in ~June of 2020 was what really soured me on Trump. Up until then I had been both sidesing and figuring that when push came to shove, he'd actually lead (and get a shoe-in second term to boot!). But no, rather than accepting Covid as a national emergency that he needed to lead us through, it was just some new backdrop to foment division over.

The more likely being that some and not all are corrupted.
The three who dissented for Trump on the recent tariffs case are but one of them his appointees, the other two having been there a long time. The one most frequently accused of corruption, Thomas, concurred with the majority. Trump's other two appointees concurred with majority.
So which of them are corrupted? Why did those corrupt ones vote this way in the recent tariffs case? The OP said "the Republicans have packed the highest court with their judges" and implied this should lead to illegal acts being judged legal, in a corrupt manner.
I'm tired of this rhetoric. The supreme court justices are highly competent legal minds who, in my judgment, judge based on their genuine interpretation of laws. I have read many of this court's decisions and listened to many of the oral arguments. Only Sotomayor seems in any way to sometimes argue with blatant ideology over law. The court leans right in matters of ambiguity because its constituants think in those ways. None of them are of the disposition to "get everything illegal action sanctioned."
