Where's Rudi when you need him?
Rank incompetence at Trump’s DOJ. Color me shocked. 😆😆
Oops!
Drenched with competence
Meritocracy of the Idiocracy
Oopsie. Too late.
Someone is watching over us. I think the attorneys in the regime of bullies for billionaires are sloppy! It must be terrifying to work for the bully!
📌
Did Alina Habba put this one together?
The incompetence would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous
I'm sure DOJ will blame it on a Black trans woman.
Accidental stalling is becoming art form for DOJ.
This administration is full of low quality morons!! 😂😂😂😂😂 (Side note: 77M disappointments thought these dopes were smart and good leaders…😐😐😐😐)
Let’s not let the MANY who didn’t vote off the hook. 😏
Absolutely! Please, if you are reading this and you chose not to vote Nov 6, 2024, you could have been the breaking number in ensuring our nation's sanity. PLEASE, choose to Vote midterms and primaries! #yourvotematters
Lionel Hutz was an outstanding lawyer compared to these people.
so was Bud, the dog who played basketball
Also a chicken.
😹
If you’ve you seen the Bluey court room episode then you’ve seen lawyering that would put these wombats to shame
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven’t seen that episode but it will be on my weekend to do list.
youtu.be/4rYZFi7a0Ao?...
Does anyone remember when working as an AUSA was a point of pride in a legal career? “Ambulance chasers” lawyer more competently these days.
Only the best people 🙄
Ikr 🙄
Only the best!
Only the best people…
If the DOJ keeps firing every lawyer with an iota of ethics, this is only going to increase is their workload do.
Stable geniuses everywhere in the administration
The incompetence is astonishing!
You can't make this Sh!+ Up We are being governed By the South Park kids We can't let this continue Don't know how But we MUST regain control And sanity
The south park kids were the smart ones. The adults in the show are the morons.
Cartman may be evil but yeah the kid was smart.
Accident or a rogue lawyer in the DoJ?
Accidents happen 😁
The Keystone Kops mated with the KKK....and now they are running this country I think.
is ai trying to do good now??
We need a gif of Donny telling Jr & Eric that here's money in the banana stand
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed so hard at this
We need Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog
Surprised he wasn't solicitor general
omg I just watched that episode last night
Levels of incompetence "like no one has ever seen before."
The incompetence will be there undoing!

You can’t fix stupid.

@maddow.msnbc.com
📌🤣
the country is at the whim of IMBECILES...
Has there EVER been an administration this hapless across the board? We’ve had some real losers before, but I can’t think of one where every single agency within the Executive Branch has been so chock-full of incompetent nincompooks.
Wow. Not a lawyer so not sure what all this means. But it is an interesting read.
⬇️ bsky.app/profile/j-p-...
And, with a lil more detail, from a trial lawyer: bsky.app/profile/eliz...
At least they’re consistently incompetent. No chance of any of them pulling a Rain Man.
Trying to set the stage so they can go judge-shopping. They’ll say the judge was prejudiced by the memo. Weasles
Hahahahahahahaha
What a lovely end to my day.
THEIR ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY never ends! And as @maddow.msnbc.com said....tk goodness they are so stupid!❤️🇺🇲💙🦋
Stupid or a mole? Resist at every level.
😂😂😂😂
Holy Mary mother of . . . 🤦♂️
These people are so inexperienced they can’t even figure out how to attach their desired document to a Fed court filing. This was probably an open doc on the desktop. Hilarious, actually.
Harvard's lawyers are going to destroy the Govt nincompoops
That’s a given. I worked at Quinn (great law firm) and they are sharks. There will be blood in the water. Lots of it. Govt doesn’t stand a chance.
I realize certain institutions of government are supposed to respect the other institutions of government, but when can some institutions start dismissing other institutions for incompetence? Like If you want to start a whole other government, fine. Say so. But til then, *this* is how we work?
Dumb da dumb dumb DUMB
Oops musk would be running back to Tesla with his tail between y legs. Oops he already cut his tail off
The best people.
That's what happens when you fire all of the competent people.
Stuff like this seems to be happening a lot. I wonder if this screw up was due to legitimate incompetence or resistance-inspired internal bureaucratic sabotage.
Could be resistance, incompetence, or a natural result of overwork + extremely low morale.
Slavish devotion to the oil industry. This regime hates public transportation and prefers private gasoline-powered vehicles.
What does that have to do with the accidental inclusion of this document in a motion filing?
That was supposed to be in reply to a comment asking why they opposed congestion pricing. Either I had a brain fart or blue sky did.
Correct. 🎯 Petromobsters own the government of the United States of America. 😡⚖️
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a deliberate “mistake”!
someone just deleted the asterisks around the note and forwarded.
Looks like poor Roberta at the DOJ is going to have a week
What a clown show. It’s too bad they’re hurting Americans so much. Otherwise this would all be hilarious.
Gotta love malicious compliance, lol
If this wasn't such a corrupt administration doing damage to Americans and the rest of the world, they would actually be good for some laughs
Maybe this was intentional and some kick ass lawyer intern file guy is trying to help bring down the system This is too stupid to not be intentional.
They are overworked, defending hundreds of EO cases without a leg to stand on. Low morale. Mountains of documents to organize at 2 in the morning for tomorrow's motion hearing ... surprised it isn't happening more often.
A bunch in nincompoops in power
Geez, it they weren’t wrecking everything they’d be hilarious
Comedy of errors if it wasn't so frightening.
Gonna keep this one handy to console myself the next time I have a bad day, bc it's unlikely I'm ever gonna mess up worse than submitting the wrong letter to the court & publishing privileged advice for all the world to see. 🤣🫠 But also, good, fuck 'em. Their goals are bad and they should feel bad.
I once (as a first year paralegal) mixed up the service of an original and a copy but even that was a simple error, easily fixed. I can't believe that anyone could screw up this badly.
My bosses mixed up the "Kim". One caught his error and messaged me "Wrong Kim". 😆 The other one needed me to ask him why was I receiving the email about budget. I have no money. 😂
That's an understandable error.
If nothing else takes these bozos down, their own stupidity will dig the hole for them.🤦♂️
If they weren't stupid, we would have been in more trouble in his last presidency
Let’s hope that as few of us as possible end up in the same hole.
Exactly... their stupidity would be hilarious if it weren't harming/killing so many.🥺
Is it possible the remaining staff is purposely sabotaging because they figure they’ll be fired soon anyway?
You are far too generous with credit for these dumb bastards.
The “master race” 😂😂😂
Oppps!
Incompetence
(J. Porter) Clark's Law: "Sufficiently advanced incompetency is indistinguishable from malice." It's all perfectly deniable as a "slip up". 3:O)>
They must have hired every single person that was fired by their company for copying the entire company on an unprofessional email meant for an immediate colleague
This reminds me of the email I received from marketplace.tf that just said "-your name- you big gay!" that was a developer trying to send that email to themselves. They sent it to EVERY USER.
@kagrox.bsky.social The Trump regime and paperwork…
Oops !
Time to blame the interns again.
I’m glad I haven’t lost my empathy. My stomach just dropped. These are D-listers. HANDS DOWN.
I knew a lawyer who described how an aid had accidentally faxed their team's legal strategy to the opposing legal team. He was fired at the fax machine. This person should try to get a job in the current DOJ.
The letter is still up on RECAP
Woopsies
Where’s the laughing emoji reaction
Ooops!
This is delicious and also very dumb
This is what happens when you suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect and you appoint incompetent people who suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect as well. 🤷🏼♀️
oh, I like this one! (artist is @monicatrinidad.bsky.social as credited here: bsky.app/profile/just...)
Exactly
It is a relief - though cold comfort- that they are so incompetent and stupid.
Let’s take a step back… 1. From everything I’ve read, the toll project is an unmitigated success. Why do they hate it? 2. What happened to the party of “States’ Rights?” 🤨
Because certain people think they should be able to drive wherever they want and shudder at the thought of sharing a subway car with a Brown person. Duffy is also on a mission to destroy public transit wherever possible.
That’s only for red states.
And subjugating women
1. Republicans hate everything. 2. They hate states’ rights too.
bridge and tunnel assholes hate the train
They hate it because (1) they don't want people to notice that a government intervention actually improved lives, (2) cars, and (3) spite.
Assholes in red hats want to drive SUVs into the city toll-free. Thats the extent of it. It has been the single biggest QOL and safety improvement in nyc since I moved here 25 years ago.
Hey Gemini, is it bad to publish privileged communications where you tell your client that they don't have a case on a public court docket?
I retired from the practice of law two years ago and I have to tell you that retirement is great. So I think it’s wonderful that someone wants to get to retirement posthaste
I mean seriously. As someone who has practiced for 30 years or so, this is career-ending stuff. Just pack your briefcase and walk out the door; your career is over.
This is typical for Trump's lawyers. Lin Wood was forced to retire due to him refusing his bar's mental exam.
😆
* Just think about it, our Trump MAGA cult government is so incompetent & stupid, this would be the best venerable time of America for our enemies to make a nuclear first strike on the United States of America & blow us all up in smoke. *
#TrumpsClownshow
#TrumpsClownshow So much clowning, in fact the world has never seen such clowning. Trump is the best clown master anyone has ever seen
Blockheads.
Too bad the NIH can't afford do do a study on how fascism affects brain functioning.
Amazing.
😳 And I am in no way surprised by their utter incompetence. They are the bottom of the barrel, a laughingstock of the legal system, a cruel joke.
That is a really big “ooops”
The utter incompetence of this clown administration is utterly shameful
They’re really bad at this.
Thank goodness
He deserves mall lawyers
@keawilson.bsky.social On the 0% chance you haven't seen this yet.
In private practice, a client would (rightly) fire you for this level of incompetence.
If you were lucky, all they would do is fire you. Better put your malpractice carrier on notice if you pull a bonehead mover like that.
Also this ☝🏾
Great job, Anna!
Shakes head, hire a clown, you get a clown car filled with more clowns, including one of who wants a make up studio. 🙄The incompetence is without measure. This admin is truly a kakastocracy.
The whole lot of them…
lmfao
When does “Oops” and “incompetence” become
Love the incompetence
You can't make this shit up. 😂
Wait til you hear what Hegseth did with the makeup bag…
I mean, what could go wrong when you purge an entire department - the entire federal government, really - of any employees perceived to be more loyal to doing their jobs than to the President, and replace them with a bunch of incompetent rubber stamps? Same shit show, different day.
Bwahahaha. I’d typically feel sorry for the person who actually did this and made this mistake, but anyone assisting this administration deserves all the headaches this will create. Plus, this effort is an attempt to override local rule - which is something conservatives traditionally supported.
He only hires the best people…
Classic mixup
Another oopsie!
Oops. That letter was supposed to go to Harvard. 🤣😂🤣
Hi, "insert AI Tool," Q: How can I get us removed from defending a case without technically breaching our contract? A: Be literal. If asked to submit something to a court, but your client doesn't specify exactly what, get a junior to submit something that has a negative impact on your client.
Evil and incompetent. Who woulda guessed? Besides anyone with a brain.
Yeah. I mean, me for one. Also a huge number of other people who screamed about it in books, newspapers, cable news, YouTube videos, protest signs, court transcripts, and tweets / bleats. Seems hard to miss.
Who among us hasn’t inadvertently placed into the public domain a privileged client advice memo

It’s all those DUI hires! 🥴
If you aren't addicted to alcohol or drugs you can't make the inner circle! It's like Trump reference checks are done by a dealer.
why not both!
When this is over, I hope the word “Republican” becomes synonymous with a lewd slang word.
@abovethelaw.com
So incompetent
blame it on the cheap ,really bad crack that Bondi is pushing
Hang on a moment - perhaps this was *not* a mistake but a fickle-finger-of-fate power move. If you are going to go out, go out with a bang.
Ah ya know i filed it somewhere!?
This is amazing. :chefskiss:
Oh my.
Don’t fuck with NY!
The incompetence is strong with this group
They don't have any competent lawyers left. 🤣
How do you do that?
Well oops boo-boo regiime
“…clowns to the left of me, jokers to be the right…”
I don’t wanna be stuck in the middle.

HOW DID WE LOSE TO THESE MORONS
Grandchildren of Nazi and Klan members and people who watch more podcasts than actually read books.
Racism and misogny?
Exactly
Supporting Israel’s genocide
Well, I sure hope that because Donald Trump won you’re stopping genocide! Oh wait, you aren’t. And you might’ve had a chance with Harris. You never would’ve had a chance of Jill Stein got elected, because Congress is the one that sends the support to Israel!
Jill Stein never would’ve had the support of Congress to prevent them from sending Support over to Israel. And instead, you’ve lost the democracy of the United States. Congratulations.
You think the United States was still a democracy hahahahaa
*loses 6 million votes from 2020* IT’S JILL STEINS FAULT
Just as all the lost Obama voters in 2016 were the fault of Jill Stein and Russia
Misogny. Plus, decades of Fox News vilifying Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton is a piece of shit that should be in jail
That’s why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were illegally going around congress to send weapons to Israel. I’m really stupid so I think they would have stopped doing that if Trump lost.
I think that she would’ve done a much better job, balancing the needs of both countries and both peoples. And I also think that we would not have a tanking GDP, a loss and employment, a tanking stock market, and actually improved manufacturing and businesses in America.
Shouldn’t have been a genocide supporter then.
Yeah, Trump got right in there and put a stop to that, didn't he? No? He predictably didn't? Huh. How about that.
So that’s why you supported the people who were helping Israel commit genocide
You weren’t listening. SHE did not.
Yeah she did.
mei.edu/publications...
Really? Memes already? I see where you are.
This feels like "when did you stop beating your wife?". I supported the people who weren't going to destroy the government. Both major parties have issues with the Palestinians and voting for a third party was pointless.
Both major parties support genocide. Fuck you
Why do you hate the Ukrainians?
I don’t, I hate their government and military
You obviously hate the Ukrainians since you didn't support the candidate who wanted to continue helping them push out the Russians who invaded their sovereign territory. There's no other explanation why you didn't support the Harris. /think they'll get the point or are they are dumb as they appear?
Damn that AI! 😂
This is clearly
It's bad enough that these people are in power, but it's an extra insult how incompetent they are.
Will they prosecute the clerk for "leaking?"
No. They will be building him/her a makeup studio for future briefings to the press.
🤣
🤡
“The Gang That Couldn’t Sue Straight.”
I had to read this about four times to make sure what I thought I was reading was actually what I was reading!
It’s convenient that the evil administration is full of clowns from the top down.
mErIToCrACy.
Maybe mediocrity is more apt
Mediocrity would be improvement. I'm so old I remember when Dan Quayle was considered an embarrassment for GOP each time he opened his mouth in public and the current Republican crop are way below Quayle in quality.
Quayle is a genius compared to these assholes.
My favorite Dan Quayle moment was politely and correctly informing Mike Pence that he didn’t have the power to single-handedly overturn the election. A fourth grader coulda told him that, but he needed to consult a real expert like Quayle and he did get the correct answer 🙃
Yep they are complete frauds. DEI miles more meritorious than this circus.
Ironically desired by folks who have no merit.
They believe their merit was "being born white in America" and/or "my daddy was rich"
Don't forget the cross.
That white supremacy is really shining through 🤣😂
And ... 🤢 ... Trump likes me.
Yes
This is a poor career DOJ attorney who is probably remarkably talented.
Hahaha
Incompetent lawyers in the new DOJ are frightening as our alleged counsel
💯 agree
Rep Jasmine Crockett was just telling Jimmy Kimmel that we wouldn't believe the level of incompetence. oh yes. we would☝️
It is both. She is right because the Trump incompetence does not carry over to the real power behind him looking to end democracy
Starting to think that along with the cruelty, the incompetence is the point.
I, for one, just screamed loudly enough for Jimmy Kimmel to hear.
To be fair you live in a shed next to his pool house
This is my first outburst of yours, I probably won’t order another.
DOJ is getting as bad as the DOD!!
Hey, it might just be more effective that way?
Could this be a paralegal form of good trouble?
Wow that is special
Or an SOS secretly included by the staff lawyers?
The letter's risk assessment actually looks accurate lol which makes it so much worse
😂😂😂. The ineptitude of this clowncar never hits bottom.
Delay delay
The administration that can't shoot straight. Another colossal screw up.
It's almost like only a bunch of incompetent doofuses would want to work for this regime
And the doofuses do continually march forward.
Bad news: The people we've been purging were also the only competent ones in the agency.
They want to only keep lawyers who are as dishonest as they are and willing to argue in bad faith. Those... tend to not be the most competent ones.
That’s why they did it. The intention is to crash the government. They don’t need competence for that. In fact it would just get in the way.
The judge today called them three-year-olds having a tantrum
That’s was a different judge but still true
Every night I think ‘maybe tomorrow I can figure out how to track all the action in every Trump related course case.’ Every day, I realize I just cannot keep up. And I am retired and have no responsibilities except keeping myself alive…
Which judge/case was it?
There's been so many its hard to keep track anymore
"‘Worthy of a 3-year-old’: Trump administration shredded by Judge Howell over ‘temper tantrum’ behavior in Perkins Coie case that firm blasts as ‘national insecurity’" lawandcrime.com/high-profile...
The Perkins Coie case with Judge Hollander.
Judge Beryl Howell.
^yes! You’re right—I said the wrong “H” judge 🤦🏼♀️
God why don’t we have an Edit button?????
bsky.app/profile/kend...
She did an amazing job threading that hearing. You could almost feel the judge ready to strangle the guy.
They did!! It was a fantastic read. I didn’t get shit done today trying to keep up with it 🤣
Same. I was trying to refresh my feed every 30 seconds. Really solid reading of the hearing plus the docs being made on acre almost immediately was lretty awesome.
Sorry. Fat fingered that response- “Docs, on Pacer almost immediately was pretty awesome.”
S. District Judge Beryl Howell criticized Justice Department attorney Richard Lawson’s lack of basic information, as well as what she called the DOJ’s “temper tantrum.”

Beyond parody.
When you save your file as mta_v_duffy_letter.doc instead of DO_NOT_SEND_TO_JUDGE.doc
🤭
They definitely use spaces in their file names. Underscores? C’mon!
This is an amazing insult
OPSEC is clear… #meritocracy
Proving, yet again, that the DOJ under felon47-in-chief and Blondie Bondi has become a joke - seriously, chimpanzees could do a better job (with all due respect to chimpanzees).
the competence is breathtaking
It’s a “fake” letter. A practice or something lol
Maddow is going over all the big “ooops” they’ve done so far. This one is unsurprising.
This is what happens when Trump installs his own personal attorneys at the DOJ!
That's a new one.
Sheesh I was embarrassed when I greeted my contact as “Jeff” instead of his name, “Jim”, the first time I emailed him
Incompetence comes in ugly packages.
Never mind the criminality, the shear incompetence is mind boggling!
Could they be any more incompetent?
Ohhh they will! Bet on it
I think they are leaving wiggle room for a tad bit more incompetency.
It's a big government so unfortunately there's plenty of room for more incompetence.
Yes! 😱
I'm sure you're right but I prefer not to think about it 😂
Ikr?
Probably. If so, we’ll know soon enough
Wow. Just...wow.
Oh. My. Goodness! Well, THAT'S awkward!
This administration is setting a new bar for dumb as shit. He wanted loyalists and something tells me these idiots are the smartest of the bunch.
@timmiller.bsky.social and Jonathan Rauch just taught me the name for this patrimonialism!
Bug ol’ bunch of “merit-based” hires.
Complete idiots
DOJ is losing its grip in many ways.
The utter inconsistency on top cruelty. What could possibly go wrong
LOL Nothing to see here. Just an industrial strength dose of stupidity resulting in waiver of the attorney-client privilege, and an admission that the trump/DOJ's theory of the case is spurious and un-winnable. Another trump #Oopsie
I just can't wait to see how the judge will react to this.
I just uploaded it to my Google drive so there’s no getting rid of it lol
Bro this is GOOOOLD for MTA!!!
Only the best.
We have to deal with these fuck-ups (or similar after the firings of the REALLY incompetent) for 3.75 more years.
FFS!!
Send to Rachel & Lawrence
So who is getting “fired” next?
Oooppps
If they weren't destroying everything DOJ attorneys would be great comic relief.
Nothing to see here....just the best people fucking up again.
Congestion pricing is GREAT. The city is improved. F/ck off Trump
The incompetence of this admin is so staggering that it provides convincing cover for malicious compliance.
