All the GOP court is doing is protecting Trump by delaying his cases. I will catch the highlights.

I am now playing pre-Kansas

White Clover - Bongo Queen, 1971
Steve Walsh - Vocals, Hammond Organ
Warren Eisenstein - Guitar
Phil Ehart - Drums
Dave Hope - Bass
Jeff Glixman - Hammond Organ

It is not great music. But, I like hearing the musicians grow and change into one of the biggest USA groups of the 1970's,

@Bix yes, think I'll enjoy that too

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

@Bix @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

I'm a Kansas fan.

Having access to an unlimited amount of music is a gift we get to unwrap and enjoy every single day. Discovering new music is magical, and I'll always be grateful that people like you have helped me do that continuously. 🎶💞

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

Thanks, Lisa. My love for most music genres means that I will never run out of finding things to try.

Note, I always liked Steve Walsh's singing.

As a former fed employee in the Wash, DC area, this makes me sick, Republicans want to make it legal for a president to sell our classified data (which is worth billions of dollars).

@JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

Note, Republicans have already proved that they will NEVER impeach/remove one of their own POTUS.

Weird how purported small-government fedsoc conservatives seem to be solicitous of kingly power.

Note my lack of " " ; this is to emphasize how shocked I am by such an obvious reveal.

Really.

@PussyFootingAround @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

NYT (33 mins ago) --

"A majority of the justices appeared skeptical of the idea of sweeping presidential immunity. However, several of them suggested an interest in drawing out what actions may be immune and what may not — a move that could delay the former president’s trial if the Supreme Court asks a lower court to revisit the issues."

Conveniently pushing a trial beyond the election.

@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

What the absolute fuck. So, guy appeals his murder conviction and the justices carve out ways he could have gotten away with it?

I think I got it 😡

@PussyFootingAround @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

Seems to be consistent opinion for WaPo to NYT, et al. Kick the can down the road, shift the blame and responsibility...FedSoc donors already have the Court they wanted, is Donnie just an unnecessary excrescence?

@PussyFootingAround @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

Shooting from the hip cuz I only read the NYT/WaPo updates but was struck by the sophist questions from the MAGA justices...combined with the patina of "traditional concepts of presidential candidate quality vis a vis ethics, norms, values, morals, intelligence level, etc." In other words...Trump needs/needed no security clearance. The paradigm is shattered but pretense is necessary.

@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

This is the thing. We know the #GQP wants ultimate control and those pesky elections keep getting in the way. They needed a willing dope to be a part of the ruse. He was the right candidate. But they never envision the dope sniffing that power for himself. They thought he would do what he was told and not make the authoritarianism obvious. The dope ran amok.

@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

And here they all are. Literally fighting FOR their own demise.

@PussyFootingAround @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

Right?

MAGA court might be thinking "What do we need Trump for NOW?" And Trump could very well be thinking the same of them.

Note, I am behind expanded the Supreme Court to fix this corrupt crap:

@InUnfunky @PussyFootingAround @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

With our corrupt Supreme Court, the one where bribes like a free $280K RV are legal, the fix always in*.

I missed this context; variations on a theme…

Hey college/idealistic nauts — ‘memba when some supposed “realist” would mock you for wanting progress and/or change? “When you get out of your ivory tower you’ll see.” Lofty and abstract theory untethered to concrete reality?

Interesting…

“We can’t be bothered with what happened in practice, you see. Too messy. We’re just idea people…”

@InUnfunky @Bix @PussyFootingAround @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323

The tone definitely changed when it was Dreeben's turn. It was as if someone turned the heat off and ice started forming on the walls. I had to stop listening.

Well, in Trump’s defense, Sessions could easily fit in most pockets. 😉

I suggested a couple of months ago that Trump’s VP pick may be someone not widely known, but connected to the Federalist Society. They’re teeing up 2028 and beyond with a side order of constitutional convention. If I’m right, I wouldn’t be surprised if a 24th amendment event occurs. That said, I am guardedly optimistic that we will have a Democratic president in 2025.

@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52

I, on the other hand, have been thinking if died right now, who are the top 5 clowns to say he picked them for VP.

In no particular order.
1. Tim Scott
2. Elise Stefanik
3. Vivek
4. Margie 3 Toes
5. George Santos
