How much more effed up can the "justice" system get in this country?? Clearance essentially stealing tens of millions of dollars from big-time repugnicant donors who present cases to him (and lying, big time, about liking to hang out at Walmart); and of course not recusing himself from the 1/6 case which directly involved Ginni. The white boys in the TN state legislature kicking out the two young Black men who are doing everything in their power to try to protect little children in Nashville from future AK-15 murders while they're at school. Gym Jordan grandstanding, turning everything upside down: what's up is down, what's down is up -- just as his hero, the Orange Sadist, has always done. I AM SO SICK OF IT!!!
“Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.” - John Adams
Or at least maker a show of moral superiority, yet I suspect that many of the kingpin don't believe word they themselves say. They just get off on being bullies and getting away with it; the "love" of power.
John Adams was a practicing Founder of due process in Boston long before the Constitution was written; Abigail was a very good trial theory & evidence consultant.
Don't forget the GOPs 2 pet psychos, MTG & Lauren Boebert. I'm just glad that Sarah Failin' Palin isn't tossing wrenches into the works with her twisted tales.
Thanks. This ain't my 1st rodeo & very likely not my last unless I become a hermit & swear off the conveniences of contemporary life including the 'Net..
kd, you make me laugh! I live in western India and it is 11 am. I’ll be busily reading all our wonderful comments from the LFAA community and great stories on other Substacks.
I have to agree with you kdsherpa - if I were to drink coffee after reading this sickening news, I would go from mad to raging mad! i’m almost to the raging level as it is now! Calme du calme and breathe.
Just saw a poster, at the top it said, “Before coffee I hate everyone” then a photo of a black cat with (presumably) a cup of coffee and under that it says, “After coffee I feel better about hating everyone.” 😝
During Pres Biden's state of the union address, the behavior of the R with booing & shouts of liar. The hypocrisy is stark naked from their politics to their moral ðics.
Appalling as it was, I don't think their behavior emanates from hypocrisy per se--they don't have the intellectual or emotional capacity to be hypocrites--I think they are "useful idiots," following a script strategically designed and implemented by whatever malignant cabal is running Acultamurica. Political theater--now exponentially enabled by the media--has always been an effective method of controlling and inciting the masses.
Those individuals may not have been being hypocritical during the SOTU, but the ReThuglican Tennessee House certainly is full of hypocrites. Tolerating the SOTU behavior of the thuggish chimpanzees and then expelling two members of the Tennessee House for using bullhorns (a) during a peaceful protest within and outside the building, (b) after their microphones had been turned off, is just beyond the pale - cynical, shocking, hypocritical. And intolerable. What can the voters whose representatives have just been removed do to be represented again?
Absolutely agree with you conceptually. I'm probably guilty of linguistic nitpicking with the word, "hypocrites." My sense of the word is that the hypocrite is aware of reality and uses it to create a self-serving charade. In addition to all you have mentioned, the Tennessee Rs have demonstrated that they lack the intellect and emotional capacity to understand the situation enough to be hypocritical about it.
With that said, there are some questions I'd like to ask.
-Are Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow really close friends?
-If so, is the bond that they share related to a particular view of constitutional interpretation?
-If so, what is that interpretation?
-To what extent do Clarence Thomas's judicial opinions dovetail with Harlan Crow's ideological agenda?
-What, precisely, IS Crow's ideological agenda? Is there anything in it that is pernicious to "republican" government (as guaranteed by the Constitution)?

Brazen, extreme corruption.

Thank you for the John Adams
Thank you for John Adams. Always good to know what Founding Fathers said. They knew the classics.
John Adams was a practicing Founder of due process in Boston long before the Constitution was written; Abigail was a very good trial theory & evidence consultant.

“2 pet psychos” and a “Failin’ Palin”! Very nice, Daniel!
Thanks. This ain't my 1st rodeo & very likely not my last unless I become a hermit & swear off the conveniences of contemporary life including the 'Net..
I love your summation, kd! I will summon some thoughts when I calm down and have another coffee.....
Thanks, Elisabeth. (Maybe a glass of wine would be more calming. :-) )
kd, you make me laugh! I live in western India and it is 11 am. I’ll be busily reading all our wonderful comments from the LFAA community and great stories on other Substacks.
LOL! Guess coffee would be more appropriate in your time zone! :-)
With me it's Gin, Vodka with CBD / THC sprinkled in.
LOL!
I have to agree with you kdsherpa - if I were to drink coffee after reading this sickening news, I would go from mad to raging mad! i’m almost to the raging level as it is now! Calme du calme and breathe.
Even so, Elizabeth, I did 💕 your comment.
Calming down and coffee in the same sentence? Now that’s a hat trick! 😝

Absolutely!
I'm sure he'll respond to this investigation by calling it another high-tech lynching for uppity blacks.
Fran, That was such a cynical statement. I remember at the time knowing that the SOB was trying to guilt the white Senators. He won.
Are the expensive vacations and gifts federally taxable? Does Clarence need to declare them on his taxes?
Anatomy of a character assassination:
1. Wait until the federal regulations for disclosing gifts, trips, etc. change.
2. As soon as the regulations change, attack Clarence Thomas for not following the new rules, without telling readers that the rules just changed.
3. Get propaganda shills to spread this sensational muck far and wide.
