and no SCOTUS decision on Donny's immunity. final decisions of the current SCOTUS term will be announced next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. my money's on *no decision at all,* and that they don't rule on it until the next SCOTUS term begins in October, giving Donny a free pass until after the election

sadly...all because millions of people couldn't vote for a woman...

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

us: the Supreme Court is at stake

them: I don't know, I just don't like her

it's maddening

KL Pierce's avatar

I’m hearing the same kind of shit about Biden being old. I always ask these people who’s running that’s not old.

Eileen's avatar

I know I shouldn’t hate, but I detest the corrupt SCROTUMS. Justice Roberts shit the bed on his legacy back with Citizens United and just kept going.

Bill Lawrence's avatar

Once Gingrich put political discourse into the sewer, I didn't think we could go lower. But Citizens United, one of the worst decisions ever made, gave billionaires control over the political process.

Senator Whitehouse tried to get ethics rules passed, but Republicans weren’t going for it. I would expect him to continue trying.

Susan Kemp's avatar

I’m not sure why I hadn’t seen anything about Senator Whitehouse before but lately I’ve been watching a lot of his videos. He is fantastic at explaining complicated issues.

Eileen's avatar

I wonder if the three liberal justices would break with tradition and send a note to A.G. Garland with a criminal referral for Thomas? Or out Alito as the leaker of Dobbs? Standing? How can they work effectively with patently corrupt justices? I am tired of the sane people having to be squeaky clean while the bought and paid for corrupt justices just laugh and break ethics codes and laws in our faces. Laws? Every signer of Dobbs lied under oath during his/her senate hearings. That's just the beginning.

John Hampton's avatar

Yes.

There's also the old fave, Benghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazi!

Runfastandwin's avatar

I remember a MAGA at work (an immigrant incidentally) told me Benghazi was going to be an issue. I scoffed...

steve robertshaw's avatar

He probably got that from Fox Noise, since their scripwriting team in the back room are the ones who elevated this tragic foreign diplomatic post attack into the 'story of the year' because their Nielson research saw the Fox audience was enthused by it. Those of us who weren't watching Fox Noise had no idea they were hyping the event up to the biggest daily story on their network. Much like 'Hunter's laptop' or 'Hilary's server'. "Fox Noise : We give our audience what they want, irrelevant or not".

They wouldn’t want to have a beer with her. WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD A US PRESIDENT WILL SHOW UP AT YOUR PLACE FOR A BEER? Kavanaugh would show up though.

“Manufactured Consent” - WORKS!!!

Lisa K. Obrien's avatar

I think the very notion of having a woman in the White House directly following a black president was enough to make the old right wing’s heads spin.

Susan Travis's avatar

She reminded them of their school teacher, who made them behave! She reminded them of their mother-in-law who didn't brook fools!

Michelle Vancura's avatar

Even if they rule on it next week, there won’t be enough time for Judge Chutken to hold her trial before the election. Delay, delay, delay. Such injustice by the SC and the starry eyed fan girl in FL.

Mary Hall's avatar

A trial lawyer I follow on TikTok thinks this case could go to trial in August or September and he is convinced LDFF is going to jail.

Lorraine Parish's avatar

But there would be time. I think it was ninty days Judge Chutken gave both sides 90 days after the ruling, (hopefully less) and if she's got the balls, she could schedule it end of September.

Hell fuckity no, please God.

The POS was right: I'm tired of him winning. It's like trying to capture and contain a jellyfish gone rogue. It slithers and squishes and slides its way out of capture. And runs up staggering attorney bills in the process. Just once, when approached, just once, one of these disbarments on the hoof should say, "No. I want to keep my integrity, my law license, and be able to pay off my law school loans. Scram."

Charles Austin's avatar

Disbarments on hoof!!😂😂😂😂

I feel like a quote from the movie Ghost is apropos: USA, you in danger, girl!

Edith Bunker's avatar

I think they will rule shortly before they get the flock out of town to let the dust settle. If he gets immunity then so does Biden … I suspect they will bump it back back down to Chutkan to sort out. Let’s see what happens.

The federal judges currently leaning on Fangirl to recuse herself are a good sign they’re expecting Trump to lose at SCOTUS shortly.

I know he’d be hesitant to do so but can Biden can and replace Cannon? Can she be impeached?

PJ Schuster's avatar

No, Biden cannot replace her. The 11th Circuit can remove her from THIS case if she would make an appealable decision. That’s why she dilly dallies & doesn’t decide these motions piled up on her. If she makes a mistake & decides something egregiously bad, Jack Smith can then appeal & at the same time ask that she be removed

Marguerite Foster's avatar

The House can bring Articles of Impeachment against Cannon; however, to make the impeachment happen the Senate would have to agree and vote with the House’s AOI.

Karla's avatar

Either that or they will grant him immunity.

Nancy Braus's avatar

this court is just beginning its reign of terror. The fact that they accepted the bullshit case about the MIFIPRISTONE- with the plaintiffs clearly having no standing. But, Thomas asked his forced-birther friends to bring them a better case, all but promising a ban in the future. I doubt any other supreme court not in trump's pocket would have accepted the BS immunity case either. Things really are different with this court- and the majority of Americans better get off their butts, stop playing full time video games, and fight this.

Teri's avatar

Jeff, can Bannon stay out of jail while he appeals to SCOTUS?

Biden could do a lot of positive things to protect America from a dictatorship take-over with his new power of immunity, should they rule that way, but my money is that the Biden admin. wouldnt take advantage of that power and hand the country over to D☭Иald TЯUM₽ as the King on a silver platter and let every one of us down....

Look how (so far) Biden gives zero motivation to his own AG, Garland to go after Trump for his many many crimes. Hate to say it but the democrats will make this so easy for Project 25 to happen based on how the DOJ has been rolling over and giving D☭Иald TЯUM₽ a free pass on pretty much everything

I remember a time, just 4 years ago, when Republicans were claiming that dead people were voting for Democrats. They spent lots of effort trying to prove it. Couldn’t find any. Oh wait! We found one, and she’s a dead comedian. Oops she voted for our guy two years after she died. Unless….no, that would be carrying early voting to the extreme. I thought Republicans were against early voting.

shee-rah's avatar

The only dead people who voted were found to be Republicans.

I get so stirred up that I think a vein is going to burst… then you come up with “does he like-like me” and i fall over laughing. Medical crisis averted.

Victoria Wilson's avatar

This post made me laugh and I needed it.I just stepped out to my local Drug Mart and was following a car that had a Trump image pissing on a Biden/Harris sign. On my return trip home, I was following a bigass pickup with a Trump 2024 flag that was almost as big as my Subaru.Fucking idiots in this red hellhole.

Deb Martina's avatar

Yes ma'am. I have a son staying with me and I went into his bedroom to look for something and there was a trump hat. Want to cuss him out or kick him out... there's no guiding these morons to the light. Brainwashed

Edith Bunker's avatar

I’d put itching powder in the hat but that’s just me.

Rick Calegari's avatar

About two weeks ago, I was in line at a local In n Out drive through. Parked to left of the line was a large, raised up GMC, typical MAGA-like pickup with a large American flag hanging off the bed. As I got closer to the drive up window, I noticed a picture of his assholiness on the blacked-out passenger side window like he was riding in the front seat with this dipshit. Can't remember any presidential candidate ever being portrayed in such a desperate extreme manner. It's really a shame that he's sucked the normal behavior and common sense out of so many people.

Charles Austin's avatar

I saw one of those decals a week ago.

Rick Calegari's avatar

Reminiscent of mid 1930s Germany.

Rick Calegari's avatar

If I had seen this guy, I would've asked him how he could stand driving around with the windows rolled up.

I live in the Texas hellhole. And you?

Beth Smith's avatar

Indiana hell hole. Braun & Banks in my district. I drink a lot.

Victoria Wilson's avatar

I do too.Gym Jordan is my House rep and one of my 2 Senators is the odious J D Vance.Ugh!

Oh Victoria - you are just in a bad spot!

get rid of Jordan- that clown

He is embedded in our district via gerrymandering.

Beth Smith's avatar

So sorry! Double whammy!

RZAngel's avatar

I moved away 30+ years ago and landed in Florida which at the time was not terrible. Plus I lived in Key West which is or, at least was, a blue bulwark. But had to move back to Ohio to care for my father and found out it is just as bad if not worse than Florida! Gym Jordan is an idiot but JD is an ambitious A**hole who will say anything to be VP which is way more disgusting.

Agree with that! Sounds like he's in complete alignment with Project 2025.

I live in Ohio too, but fortunately a little deep blue island, Yellow Springs ❤️

RZAngel's avatar

My father's house is in Fairborn but off Trebein Rd, less that 15 minutes from Yellow Springs so I can escape. :) I have to say though that the development where we live is fairly diverse for Fairborn.

Tardigret's avatar

I know exactly where that is! Fairborn is a funny community, with the airforce base being right there. So close to us in Yellow Springs too, do come visit! ;-)

RZAngel's avatar

Thanks, I definitely do!

I've only been here 3 months, but I feel like I am finally among my people! :-) <3

I let out an audible groan when I read "Ohio." Very sorry that you have to see that krap and interact with such people. I live in MD, so there's a lot less of it, but there are some scum-p supporters here too.

I moved from the Ohio hellhole to the North Carolina hellhole. The Trumpiness is more in your face down here. Fucking Fox News on every tv in places like car repair shops. Many restaurants too, but at least I can avoid those.

I live in Texas, too. I hate this state, hate the repubs, Abbott, Paxton on down to all the other assholes that want to take my rights away but we are just not in a position to leave right now.

I was able to escape TEXAS after 48 years in 2020. I hope your day will come as well.

Good luck Susan. I don't my think wife and I could handle or care to leave CA during these bizarre times.

You’re welcome to come to Michigan. An oasis of progressiveness north of Ohio and Indiana but far more advanced in terms of valuing our country and its principles

Janet's avatar

I agree for the most part. I’m in a burning red county in Michigan’s thumb surrounded by magats. Reasonable people, too, but I’ll never understand their logic (stupidity) for supporting the Orange Menace.

arne link's avatar

Um, why? I hope that it's not a family emergency that requires you to move. Best wishes.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Hi Arne! No, after 6 1/2 years in Philly, it's just time to regroup, and be ready to bail if America goes down the toilet! 😂 Seriously, I can live almost for free there-and after Tim died, there's really nothing for me here now.

Tell me this won't work for everybody— Trump, Trump supporters, and normies! If there ever was a time for the Truman Show it's now.

Build a reproduction of the Oval Office. Hire Hope Hicks and Kellyanne Conway and he'll feel right at home. He can get visits from Napoleon and Frederick Douglass, and he won't know the difference.

Then videotape the whole thing and show it on the Alternative Facts Network, so Trump supporters will feel reassured and triumphant. After all, it's reality TV, and TV is in fact reality!

Works for everybody! Hire a few impersonators and he can get a call from Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un every single day. And guess what! He won't be any more out of touch with reality than he is right now!

This is my platform— everyone gets the reality they want!

Hello Friends, Some of DFF's forgetfulness is because he is so self-absorbed that anything that is outside himself doesn't fully exist. He has a world in his head and nothing else and no one else is important enough to pay attention to or to remember. Yes, it is dementia but one born from a life time of narcissism and sociopathology. He simply doesn't care about others, at all. He doesn't listen or care to understand the other -- it is truly all about him. He doesn't care that he can't remember, and this is mixed with the belief (and so far the confirmation of this belief) that he can get away with anything, including shooting someone on 5th avenue. The Federalist Society is our biggest threat for they hold the puppet strings. The Maga folks are simply cult followers and have lost the ability or willingness to observe or think for themselves.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Tapes. That makes me feel a little bit happy. Gonna hold onto that feeling like it was a soap bubble and make a wish.

CAM from 🇨🇦's avatar

My biggest fear if the Orange Menace is reelected is that the authors of Plan 2025 will be playing president knowing full well that Trump isn’t in command of his brain function. Just imagine what waits America and the world when Bannon, Navarro and Miller et al take the reins of the Office of President and attempt to fully institute their nefarious rule of lawlessness and attempt to overthrow the US Constitution all the while relegating Trump to his playpen.

Marla's avatar

You know he isn't the one picking the VP. The selection will be done behind the scenes by these same shadowy forces and he will be told who it is when the convention gets underway.

They know he's a short-time and for display purposes only. The VP will be the one really calling the shots (so to speak).

Michael Edick's avatar

I think Uncle Joe should go ahead and make the call to Seal Team 6 while the SC diddles itself. If afterwards they come back with there is no such thing as total immunity (duh!), Joe could claim that he thought he was just ordering “take out” from the local Chinese restaurant…

Karla's avatar

When I visited my mom in skilled nursing, patients always said out of touch things like he said about Afghanistan and I played along because they weren’t running for President of the United States. Seriously, by November he won’t know his ass from a hole in the ground but he might be elected President. This is insanity. VOTE! Also, as Jeff predicted, Steve whined to SCOTUS.

Oh Arne and Derek you made my morning complete 🙌🏽💙 the rancid bag o meat.. and smelling him through your laptop 😂🤣😂 thank you!!

Nightmaher's avatar

I know nothing about fashion except what I don’t like. About Bannon : looks like maybe expensive or thrift store clothing from 20 years ago or longer from a catalog layout. He just still sees himself as a younger captain of his yacht but looks sloppy and overweight and in need of some hygiene lessons and some alcohol rehab for his excessive use. Can you see what I see?

Susan Niemann's avatar

Oh, I see it. Thats a perfect description. 👍

I went down the Steve Bannon rabbit hole earlier when I was checking if he did, in fact, appeal to SCOTUS. Not one, but two, women married his rancid self but he’s long divorced from both. He was accused of choking one of them which came as no surprise.

Susan Niemann's avatar

What woman in her right mind would marry THAT creep!? EW!

Karla's avatar

I didn’t see anything about them being in their right minds 😝. The charges against him were dropped. I don’t want to know why; it’ll just tick me off.

bruce somers's avatar

Steve Bannon...if a photo could smell.

Tess's avatar

Mike Hammer's avatar

Everything Trump says is projection so I’m guessing his reference to Afghanistan is based on his debate prepping.

Marty's avatar

He’s not prepping because he doesn’t need to be ‘brainwashed’ by his staff. He said that!

also, the interview took place I think two years ago

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

The thing is, he could be Weekending at Bernie’s and he’d still be the nominee.

Cathy Carrozza's avatar

I truly don’t believe that Trump will show up for the debate. What does he have to say? We’ve already heard about the batteries and the sharks!!

Connie Davis's avatar

I fear it's because he still engages in "back door diplomacy" as if he were a former world leader in exile. And reports of his senior minions being greated by significant foreign governments bears this out. Much of Europe us moving "right" and I find this terrifying.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Even a blind pig finds the occasional truffle.

shee-rah's avatar

I think he’s talking about the US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has to make sure the troops withdraw by the agreed-upon date (which Biden accomplished to much criticism).

S74's avatar

He is deteriorating at warp speed. We know it, several credible sources swear to it, yet we are ruled by those who deny it? That thought makes me fucking nuts (not a huge leap, but still!) Not ruling is ruling for the man trying to burn us to the ground while the Supremely Corrupt of the United States shines us on.

Deb Martina's avatar

Thank you Jeff, this week was so enlightening and entertaining, you are the best.

Have a good weekend 💙

Darrell Smith's avatar

I am thankful for the dead. After all, they lived in the real world and were more honest than Trump. Also, they don't have to go through any of this crap right now so I am thankful for that too.

The Ten Commandments will be on every wall in Louisiana public schools and all the Republicans in the Red states are falling all over themselves trying to get that for their state. I thought that the Ten Commandments were supposed to be taught by parents. Or at least right or wrong.

Perhaps a Special Council can investigate "Judge" Cannon and figure out what is wrong with her and what to do about it. Trump is one of those situations that will get a lot worse before it gets better, I am afraid.

Darrell Smith's avatar

And that picture of Trump makes me laugh every time I see it. It should be titled "Failed Fifth Grade".

Connie Davis's avatar

ACLU was immediately on that Ten Command- ments ruling. Fingers crossed.
