I’ll get to it. Right now I’m listening to Trump’s SCOTUS lawyer “My Aim is Subversion”.

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

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).

They are re-writing the constitution on the fly.

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.

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.

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?
@InUnfunky @Bix @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
They have already committed the heist!
@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.
@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Bix @PussyFootingAround @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
They are very different in their orientation. Trump’s lawyer was singular in his presentation whereas Dreeben is an institutionalist who was speaking in terms SCOTUS prefers big picture, theoretical application or consequences keeping the presentation less Trump focused, but law. He should have appealed to the so called originalist conservative members context for the Constitution.
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @PussyFootingAround @CanisPundit @UmbaSaffire @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
All a means to an end.
It should be obvious to all but the most blinkered party apparatichik.
The FedSoc donor class has what they want, Trump or no.

I was just watching a video of #GOP voters who say they won't vote for him.
One said she voted for him 8 years ago, but he isn't what we need now.
Was he what we needed then?
@PussyFootingAround let's hope hope hope they vote for Biden..often wonder if some of the folks, like John Bolton for example, who say they aren't voting for #Trump but also say they won't vote for #Biden, whether they actually will vote for Biden but just don't want to say so publicly 🤔
@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
@UmbaSaffire @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
Bolton would beg for a job again if gets into office.
@PussyFootingAround Surely you jest! lol
@UmbaSaffire @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
@PussyFootingAround
...I don't put much weight in Bolton's integrity either 🫤
@Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52 @radar323
@UmbaSaffire @PussyFootingAround @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @radar323
the final straw, of many, against Bolton was his waiting to publish his little tell all book until after the election
@tgraph52 oh yes, it was last straw...spoke volumes about who he is
@PussyFootingAround @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @radar323
@tgraph52 @UmbaSaffire @Bix @InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @CanisPundit @Mfieck @evamarie @radar323
My final straw was reading it. Thankfully some angel posted the whole thing online so no one would give him money.

Just think, we are getting Trump's M.O. on how he handled everything in the White House.
@Bix yes - if you saw The Comey Rule, however flawed, one thing that stood out in that portrayal was how crazy it was in the WH. This is exactly the kind of thing people need to know.

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

Liv Tyler or Viggo?
Don't say Brad Dourif.

You have some nerve, sir.
But here they're copping some of your local dude Chuck Brown's (R.I.P.) go-go style. Lyrics are "on point" too, as the hip youngsters say...🤓

Oh shit, Bixie! I know you don't care...but the band just imploded FOR GOOD this time! What a coinkydink! There were many personnel changes since the "classic era" started to splinter in the later '90s and shit hasn't really been the same since. Said classic era reunited in '18 to '20 but then peeps bailed again...anyhoo, this is from today:

@Bix @PussyFootingAround @UmbaSaffire @CanisPundit @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @evamarie @tgraph52
Eh, for all intents/purposes after '96 they were done. They soldiered on with replacement members, some members left, then came back, then left again, but they kept touring. Saw the "classic" group in '19 and it was the same as seeing them in the early '90s. Nothing lasts forever, and yes I GOT THAT VINYL. 🤓
