I had to turn the TV off.

I was getting so depressed listening how the Supreme Court conservative justices are again throwing their weight behind a scumbag like trump, I was getting physically sick.

I hope they are the first victims of trump's fascist dictatorship. I would not feel an ounce of sympathy for them.

And also use legal warfare.
Or cut funding.

But for someone like Trump, getting back in the WH is going to be putting him on a narc high.
He would be capable of anything.
He has talked about killing his enemies.

To remind them that he is the boss, he is in control.
He also does it because he can, he gets off on it.

Putin's sycophants learn this lesson regularly.

Watching a major fire on the local news is more relaxing than watching the SCOTUS crap. I drop weight when stressed out...I am down to 93 pounds.

Michael Dreeben who gets interrupted by Alito, now knows he cannot dissuade them from ignoring the constitutional grounding of facts and law in order to save their man. The Trump Six are there to preserve rule of men over rule of law.

For the criminal TSF. It could not be clearer that he has engaged in multiple felonies and attempted to overthrow our election. Yet we seem helpless to force the systems to hold him to account.

Just so Republican presidents have that option available to them.

And they will ensure that this isn't decided before the election so Biden won't benefit.
But Trump will be free to use criminal tactics to gain the presidency without fear of repercussions.

Oh joy.

after outlawing the press, is eliminate anyone that he (or she) might be beholden to. I'm looking at you Alito. There are always plenty more sycophants to stuff into SCROTUS.
