Once upon a time long ago the GOP cared deeply about national security and opposed Russian colonialism.

#politics Buy one Supreme Court Justice and get a second one at 50% off, plus we'll throw in a one year membership in the Federalist Society and a case of Oxy Clean, if you call in the next 30 minutes.

#politics Etiquette question. If you have a case before #scotus and you've paid your bill with luxury vacations, is it customary to tip as the decision is announced? Is 15% proper? Should you tip more for a favorable decision? Is it necessary to tip the author of the decision separately, or should you just tip the Chief Justice and assume they will share tips?

What if a case came to #scotus without any billionaire benefactor telling them how to vote? How could they possibly decide? Read the Constitution?!😄😁😀 No, seriously, those must be the cases they decline to hear.

#politics #Clarence Thomas' efforts on SCOTUS to suppress the Black vote reminds me of the old Dave Chapelle episode about the Black white supremacist. Hilarious, and outrageously offensive. (This is Chapelle, remember)

#politics MAGA claims Trump was treated differently for political reasons. They're right. Lavrello went to prison for 3 lower classification documents she didn't show and immediately returned.

Trump Thrives in a Broken System. He’ll Get Us There Soon. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/13/opinion/trump-indictment-presidency.html

CBS has a MAGA congressman from South Carolina on TV asking her about Trump's 37 felony counts. Her response is actually, but her emails. The reporter is pressing her, to no avail.

Why do legitimate news organizations hand microphones to MAGA loons?

#politics Is Cheney or Sununu the last honest Republican? Sununu is a remnant of the bygone GOP when it used to be an essential counterweight to Dem excesses, standing for small government and local control.

#politics Do none of the so called conservatives realize the 2nd amendment is not restricted to white skin? In celebrating mob "justice" they create the possibility that one day an armed Black man may see them as a threat and mete out rough justice.
