Such a depressing thought, about the SCOTUS....

Only if they’re complete liars. Thomas and Alito are complete liars.

Justice Aileen Cannon? Oh God.

Come on, Congress. Do jurisdiction stripping, for permanently, and put it in the SCOTUS appropriations bill, so a simple Senate majority will suffice to pass it.

Ever since the Bork hearings, I’ve been sick of these confirmation spectacles. Especially the Rehnquist one. He was a flat out racist, and he still became Chief Justice.

Then there was the hearings that introduced us all to “boofing”. I still want to know the name of Bret’s bookie. Has he started on-line poker, in addition to football? On-line Texas Hold ‘Em is the way to easily separate the money from guys with more money than common sense. Kavanaugh is the biggest whale since Moby Dick.

Wonkette has unusual talents. Anybody know a three-card monte dealer that could fleece Justice Georgetown Prep 2?

Cannon was taken off the bar in Florida.

Is that actually, verifiably true? She should have been jailed for her partisan actions on behalf of Trump

regardless of who they are, I hope the Senate committee that approves their nomination actually calls them out to make sure they're not lying while they're being investigated. The last two said they would not overturn things like roe v Wade but guess what they did... yep they voted against keeping prior precedent in place. so is there any way we can say if you lie here we're going to fire you later? probably not but I think somebody should say it anyway. 😵‍💫

Just keeps getting worse and worse. But it's better to know so we know what to shout into the phone every time we call our Congressmen/women. Bc gods this is INSANE.

So much for checks n balances, huh. Complicit republican congress sitting on their thumbs, navel gazing, hoping no one will notice.

Methinks we’ve entered the fascist zone -

We are beyond Fascism. We are in the Rump Parliament stage, but instead of Cromwell for Lord Protector, we have Donnie. All the genocide of Drogheda, with the mental capacity of Henry VI and/or George III. Has Donnie officially started talking to trees yet?

Cue Michelle Le.

OMG! “Tonight: Trump’s preparing to storm Iranian islands with floating hospitals, laser cannons, and hovercrafts, while two U.S. planes have already been shot down. The most powerful men in the world have decided they want to own your news, and they’re not being subtle about it. Trump wants one and a half trillion dollars for the military, while cutting schools and the EPA. And two Supreme Court justices in their seventies may be about to hand Trump the most lasting gift of his presidency. Let’s get into it.”

Okay, wait. JUST WAIT! Slow down! Any ONE of these news reports is enough to give me an ulcer, uncontrollable panic attack and leave me curled up in fetal position for days, even weeks on end!

How is this happening? Where to start?

On inquiry, I have always received this response - “According to the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the formal power to declare war.” And for some reason AI even hedged and tinkered around with this one! But Congress hasn’t even responded to what’s already happening! They certainly didn’t authorize it.

Full military escalation in Iran!?! “…thousands of additional Marines to the Persian Gulf, with a converted container ship carrying over 100 hospital beds, dozens of large hovercraft, and newly developed laser cannons capable of destroying entire drone swarms…”

THAT certainly doesn’t sound like it wasn’t pre-planned and prepared to do!

Two more SCOTUS JUSTICES?

Somebody please, slap me really hard so I’ll wake up from this twilight zone nightmare!

Winston Churchill on Cromwell’s Protectorate, where one citizen broke the law against cursing by saying “As God is my witness”, and was fined sixpence for it: “If pious sentiments delivered with a nasal twang and downcast eyes were the hallmarks of citizenship, there were others who could adopt those traits besides the true believers.”

“May the peace of Landru be upon you.”

He reminds me of this crazy old guy we had who lived in an old school bus on the end of town and who was seen every morning peddling his bicycle in his raincoat to and from the grocery store. Everyone called him “Oscar”. Not his real name.

Anyway, Fetterman gives off the same vibe.

We bust our hump electing Sinema, Fetterman, Angus King, and losing in FL, WI, and KY, and then the successes wind up turning traitor. Forget the cognitive test for the GOP. We know Ron Johnson and Tommy Tuberville and Marsha Blackburn are crazy, like the people that vote for them. Democrats need a Kathy Hochul/Hakeem Jeffries cognitive hidden GOP test, with the results posted by the League of Women Voters on Election Day. I’m tired of contributing to DINOs. I want AOC and Mamdami.

Trump's sister, federal appellate Judge Maryanne Trump retired in 2019, which halted a judicial investigation into her conduct for tax fraud. In typical Trump fashion, she escaped unpunished.

When the rule of law returns to the Wild West, Thomas and Alito cannot be allowed to simply retire and walk away unscathed for their crimes. They are extremely corrupt and complicit in the current ruination of democracy in America.

Smooth move, Donald. So much for your intelligence.

How can we enjoy weekend or anything after that?

I don’t think there are two more fanatical, corrupt sleazeballs than Alito and Uncle Clarence. There will be no change replacing those two.
