Thanks for the chuckle. Clever you all. We all need a chuckle after hearing those traitorous so-called Supreme Justices. They are a disgrace to their formerly-honourable office. They have no honour. They have sold their honour to the most dishonourable president to ever hold the office. How can they look at themselves in the mirror? Shame!
In a sad, sad post-democracy trump world, we posters of such observations would be tried and convicted of "being mean to twumpie," a newly codified capital offense, and flung from windows of trump tower.
DJT..... a walking, ranting orange blob of the most foul smelling excrement ever that originated in the most filthy cesspool on the planet wearing a suit and tacky ass red tie. Makes me wonder the dollar amount of the bribes these corrupt and immoral Kangaroo court judges are being paid? Impeach all four of the blatantly corrupt a-hole male judges and sentence them to life in prison without the possibility of parole and replace them with competent Dem leaning female judges.
I became near nauseous listening to the KB-J /Alito stand-off debacle, shut it off. Sister Ketanji you were brilliant ! Alito took SCOTUS to the new reversal -‘forever high disapproval ‘ rating/no recusal from Thomas -is anyone surprised….the rest of the world?… STHs 🤦♀️
Sister Ashley Judd and lawyer’s focus is as concise a sum up of where WE are all at.
The system has got to change . ITS NOT A JOKE…ITS BROKE
The youth ,which is going to run our country, is protesting our long and far too faint cry .
War has to stop. Equality has to wear all the hats, and be color blind. The innocents will no longer take the bullet and 🗣️sisters, mothers, me too… MAKE IT KNOWN at the ballot box!
Simon Rosenburg has a real great post today too regarding this, approaches, suggestions, sites to bounce to guiding further places to support, donate, etc.
I advocate and share as much as I can here in blood red WV to offer , educate, change a mind. We have truly been giving one helluva lesson to WAKE UP, as much as the antidisestablishmentarianism movement back in my (our?) day premiered -A Change Is Going To Come- a LOT needs done, if it isn’t clear now -it will be too late! So many arenas exposed . I’m actually excited for it, in my last trimester but feeling the old college try can be mustered still. 😉
I love your posts and so many others. So blessed to be a part of this large community along with 5-6 others.
MLMinET ..I made a ‘sum it up statement’ referring to need for change, this whole period so screams need for change , things overlooked, justice stepped aside, rights abused by neglect or a head turned.
Yes, she was on CBS This Morning in a lovely dress just articulate and all encompassing. It was eloquent as well as beautiful. Did I say the wrong last name? Apology if so.
Dt is the complete image of the shadow side of our country. All the things we’d like America to not be. But he’s here and we are too. We can’t just wish him away; there’s work to be done to bring light and understanding.
Since Patrick Henry’s extortion to “…Give me liberty or give me death,” should not an American citizen, who obeys the laws under a president who could conceivably assassinate his opponent with immunity as president, also assassinate him as well since our 2nd amendment seems to give us this modern right to kill anyone we please? Why relegate this immunity to only a president. So I’m taking this absurd logic to the extreme, of course.
I believe this whole lexicon twisting is symptomatic of the ending of democracy as we have known it. It is exposing the limitations of language since more often than not, we can and do take any grouping of words and create a false definition based on the direction one wishes to lead.
The solution is to win this election by re-electing Biden. But it’s not that simple when Biden has shown inability to as I say, get dirty and practical. It’s known that the border is the big elephant in the room which Biden is being rightfully (in my opinion), accused of ignoring. His homeland security secretary when asked why an executive order hasn’t been made, said it wouldn’t hold up in court. This rankles me to no end because this border issue is poison to this administration. Let me repeat, ITS POISON TO THE ADMINISTRATION.
They better get a hold of themselves and resolve this issue. Trump has no problem turning any issue into an asset even if it’s a fake or false issue.
Is the border issue Biden's responsibility? Isn't it up to Congress to find a way fix what problems there are with immigration? They have been unable to for many years.
Right, Sen. Lankford (R) negotiated with the Dems who promised to rebuild the wall (the demand of the conservatives) but in the House they rejected the bill anyway! But I wish we'd hear more about that from the Pres. I wish he'd point out (over and over) how the R's shut down the deal at Trump's urging.
In my humblest of opinion, Biden should take executive action even if it is for show. This is how the popularity contest works. But even besides this, it’s my conviction that the border is a mess whether you want to believe it or not. It’s a bloody mess and Biden is doing nothing and we are facing Armageddon. It’s not business as usual this year. It’s the big one as Fred Sanford used to say.
Kathy , you misunderstand. It doesn’t matter who who who… it only matters what the optics are and Biden is losing big time on this one issue. I know we are supposed to be positive here but I have never made a good chairleader. I tell it like I see it.
AND, it would seem, Keith, Phil, John T, Hoyt and Bruce, you travel down the same path of name-calling as the Orange One without doing much to advance or explore any of Heather's reporting about the shocking nature of questions from the reactionary Supreme's who seem to not recognize their own loss of moral, ethical or even legal compass. Where is the chief Justice when the court really NEEDS someone to call it back to the job it was created to do?!!
All these adjectives are in the realm of human possibility for every human. Seems like people are trying to cast off possible demons that lurk. Yes Trump is an embarrassment to manliness if you will, so now it's demonstrated. So now we can move on, yes?Statements of contempt are registered, time to remove ourselves from the downward spin and not be spinning too. 7 years of shock value is enough. My question is what is each of us doing and in community to reclaim and renew the ground we stand on.
This is a message I received today that is instrumental in saving my sanity and preventing me from succumbing to the slow boil of anger:
Sometimes you have no choice other than to fight, but fighting is not a good long-term strategy. Because whatever you fight against almost always grows stronger.
What is a good long-term strategy? Building a more desirable alternative.
Working in favor of a specific outcome is always more effective than fighting against its opposition. And whenever there's something to fight against, there's always a cause to work in favor of.
Many factors pose a threat to all that makes life good. You can never hope to eliminate all those threats.
What you can do is work to make the good things in life more robust, more enduring, more sustainable and preferable. You cannot prevent all falsehoods, yet there's no need to do so when the truth is compelling, accessible and self-evident enough.
Invest yourself in what's good, not in tearing down what's bad. With sufficient goodness, negativity can crumble into dust.

Thanks, John. Yes, I so much rather read our contributors' "take" on the supposed dilema that the conservative SC justices have focused on. I understand the need to vent, but. . .
You forgot smelly, sleepy, farting and incontinent plus terrorizer of innocent judges, juries and election officials. The list of things done and undone is much longer than Joe's long list of accomplishments for ALL Americans. Oh, anarchy, where are you when we really need you.
During the Nam war, Stanley, I was a year-long army enlistee at Fort Myer, South Post.
Doesn't exist anymore. North Post has library, the stables, the musicians for ceremonial events, and the housing for three-star generals.
I lived there, South Post (between the Pentagon and the Arlington Memorial Bridge) Nov. 1969 to Nov. 1970. Learned Vietnamese. Became U.S. Army translator-interpreter.
But as I was doing so, I often walked the cemetery grounds. No fences then. No gates. I could read the inscriptions of the names and dates of life of the men (mostly men) who'd served in America's wars.
I really think, Stanley, that I love the country. I used to hitch-hike everywhere (coast to coast). Loved the photos, the books, the music, the films. Trusted the people. The elites? They always got so much wrong. (Exhibit A, the Nam war.)
They're still effed-up, the elites. But now that they've got their billionaire hooks in the schools, too many tens of millions are also effed-up.
So I’ll tell you a little story about that period the Vietnam war years. I was a hippie protestor from the earliest. At the tender age of 14, I boarded an overnight Amtrak from CT to DC to participate in the huge anti war March I 1967. Along on the train sitting across from my buddy were 3 sailors returning to base in Newport. We got friendly with them. They knew what we were doing but it didn’t matter. We were on opposite sides or were we. No. We were just youthful comrades. We all just wanted an end to that war. Just a few decades ago, I visited the Wall in DC. So as you walk along, you see up ahead a group of family members doing something as you approach, you hear sniffles and you see a piece of paper being used to etch the name of a loved one long deceased embedded in the granite. And as you leave this now hallowed ground, you understand that no one leaves dry-eyed no matter which side you were on.
While I wouldn’t dispute your descriptions of Trump, I think what the Letter highlights is that his being brought to justice will be prevented by the first corrupt Supreme Court (majority) in the country’s history.
Phil, while I do not match your vitriol, I must say that I am sympathetic with the feelings and many facts as they are amplified in your comments. Apologies for piggy-backing, I thought this comment might be helpful. Am I free riding or am I sticking with the winners? You make the call. Of course, if you find this free-riding to be annoying, I understand, utterly.

A VERY LATE COMMENT POSTED ELSEWHERE (i.e., 'Daily Kos') FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH.
As an erstwhile Republican and a conservative by temperament, I find this situation to be appalling. While the Court focussed on Fitzgerald versus Nixon, I kept remembering the United States of America versus Nixon (1974), a case and precedent that strikes my uneducated eye as more relevant.
🤔
That ruling squashed the first round of presidential immunity: executive privilege. This case strikes me as a ‘brand-extension’ strategy of President Nixon’s argument, uniformly rejected in his 1974 case. What turns my stomach is that . . .
🤢
. . . in the 1974 case, Justice Rehnquist recused himself owing to a prior role in the Nixon Admin.
. . . U.S. versus Nixon was as consequential a case as this one.
. . . the Court decided unanimously after deliberating just fifteen days.
. . . five of the eight Justices, who joined others in unanimity, had been appointed by Republican Presidents.
. . . President Nixon turned over the evidence that ended his presidency.
😢
None of these examples of placing principles ahead of politics are happening now nor are they likely to. Justices Thomas and Alito — questionable use of honorifics, here -- should be impeached and removed for a shocking level of corruption; not likely to occur.
✂️
Consequently, I sure wish that President Biden, if results favour the Democratic Party in November, would appoint two more Justices to the Supreme Court, for an eleven Justice head-count, starting with Attorney General Merrick Garland, a gentle and genteel man who honours his honorific.
⚖️
That would restore the one vote Republican majority that would be in place today had Senator McConnell and Trump not packed the Court. Until then, we have to hope that Justices Roberts and Coney-Barrett — if neither Justices Gorsuch nor Kavanaugh — do the right thing by our republic, just(ice) as their Republican forebears did fifty years ago.
Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts could return some decency, Ned.
Otherwise I agree with your take, right up to your conclusion on expanding court to 11.
Only one thing you leave out -- the possibility of the court yet ruling to enforce Article 14, section three. The Constitution clearly mandates what it says in plain English.
Thank you for your patience with my free-riding on your popularity, Phil. 🤝 Thank you, as well, for the timely lesson on the 14th Amendment Sexion-3. ✌️ My tuition check is in the mail. 😉
Who is this person whom the most corrupt court in the land takes seriously?
Lying sleazebag. Cheat. Grifter. Con man. Traitor to America.
Suck-up to dictators. Rigger of medieval theocrats to the nation’s highest court so individual states may arrogate, dictate women’s personal choices.
Racist. Vilifier of refugees. Stoker of violence. Stochastic terrorist. Purveyor of hate, divisiveness.
Thief of American archival documents. Violator of the Constitution’s emoluments clause. Violator of the Constitution’s insurrection clause.
Mocker of the disabled. Insulter of armed service personnel. Serial rapist and braggart of grabbing women in most personal of places.
Waddling obese. Orange, bronze make-up layered, encrusted, caked on his fat, fat, greasy face.
Oh, come on, Phil! You've only just scratched the surface.
And, Anne-Louise, such a scabrous, oily, loathsome, reeking, foul surface.
Uh-huh. Yes, the picture forms.
There… that’s the cherry on top!
Thanks for the chuckle. Clever you all. We all need a chuckle after hearing those traitorous so-called Supreme Justices. They are a disgrace to their formerly-honourable office. They have no honour. They have sold their honour to the most dishonourable president to ever hold the office. How can they look at themselves in the mirror? Shame!
I want to 🤮🤮🤮 any time I catch a glimpse of him!!!
Scratch the surface and you’ll burst the over-full Depends®️ diaper and start an EPA SuperFund investigation.
Let’s not forget SCOTUS which has become a joke. The people need to raise “objections” to them.
Clarence is the worst of them in my opinion.
In a sad, sad post-democracy trump world, we posters of such observations would be tried and convicted of "being mean to twumpie," a newly codified capital offense, and flung from windows of trump tower.
The fatty, greasy, putrid surface at that!
🤣🤣🤣!

Anger does that.

If and i think likely Dems win in 2024, get rid of the fillibuster and change the SC composition etc as already suggested earlier today.
I’m on that road too Frank, 👍 thank you.

You have such a way with words

Yikes.
Agreed. The border is the Achilles heal, imho. We need to hear more from Pres. Biden as to what the administration is actually doing about it.
Is the border issue Biden's responsibility? Isn't it up to Congress to find a way fix what problems there are with immigration? They have been unable to for many years.

He ain’t doing shit - excuse my Italian.
Let's write, call, and email the President for God's sake!
You keep talking that like and you’ll never be on a jury for a Trump trial!
AND, it would seem, Keith, Phil, John T, Hoyt and Bruce, you travel down the same path of name-calling as the Orange One without doing much to advance or explore any of Heather's reporting about the shocking nature of questions from the reactionary Supreme's who seem to not recognize their own loss of moral, ethical or even legal compass.

Venting helps before getting down to work
Apparently he’s as corrupt as the other men there.
Thanks, John. Yes, I so much rather read our contributors' "take" on the supposed dilema that the conservative SC justices have focused on. I understand the need to vent, but. . .
I wouldn’t make it either
Lol
You forgot smelly, sleepy, farting and incontinent plus terrorizer of innocent judges, juries and election officials. The list of things done and undone is much longer than Joe's long list of accomplishments for ALL Americans. Oh, anarchy, where are you when we really need you.
That’s him, exactly. The idol of the traitors, our Nero
Jeri, well, we could send him out to sea in a collapsable ship and this time no one will swim ashore......maybe during a hurricane.
My imagination runs wild. After the 2020 election, my fondest wish was that he would just become irrelevant and invisible.
you missed the Scottish barb......tiny fingered, Cheeto colored ferret wearing shit gibbon
Yes, but...
"Yes, but it turns out I CAN stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone!"
His apologists, suck-ups on the Clarence court would just call it an "official" action.
Your command of adjectives is impressive.i bow to you. Let it all out.
Can we make this not a bumper sticker but a magnetic decal? Great for places you're stuck in traffic.
