They will twist themselves into pretzels to serve their master. We shall see what happens. I think they will rule against it. What do they have to lose? They have a job for life no matter how corrupt they are. Their reputations are already ruined so where's the harm? Their overlords will only continue to pay them if they vote as they are told to. All the legalese in the world can't cover their stench.
Thankfully The Supremes will not get this case until after the election. Trump will be just another citizen by then and they won't have to bend their knee to him anymore. I say they bury him. There's another MAGA right behind him to take over, just like the mob.
I hope that you are right and that I am wrong. I think the corrupt supremes get their money from outside sources. Those sources require them to defend the indefensible. The past few years have shown that they have no respect for the law, the Constitution, nor for precedent. I don't expect that to change. I hope I'm wrong.
I think Donnie fat mouth is gonna be a very troublesome liability as soon as the defection is over ….if not sooner . Vance is an excellent substitute for Assholemouth …JD is slicker than snot flicked off a finger nail 💅 they love him in traitorville ! Weird bastards might just do a mirror of the dems , and run him if it looks bad for Shitler ! WTF they play back every other thing the dems do and try turning it to their advantage!? Who knows what the fuck the psycho bastards will try !?🤪🤔🧐😜 NOTHING IS NORMAL!!
The only thing the repuglies can do that’s even close to right is to make sure neither vance nor anyone in the Heritage Foundation ever, ever runs for President.
Hopefully, barring past election fuckery Jayme! Trump and his miasma of mutant minions have been working on overthrowing democracy for many years, nearly successfully in the past election. The House and Senate have passed legislation that should prevent any related election issues that may arise… but the religious insanity and authoritarian rule idiocy continue to exist in our Republic!
Jayme, I think the Supremes are looking beyond TFG. They can do whatever they want to further their bought and paid for agenda for as long as they are enriched.
I used to think that of all the conservatives on the court, only Roberts had a modicum of awareness of the court's dignity, probity, and most solemn and influential position as the "Court of Last Resort." Well, that's out the window. Even with the disastrous rulings in the history of SCOTUS that showed naked racism, this is the worst I could have imagined. Corrupt, bought-off, religiously manic, insurrection adjacent, fascist-backed hacks. Just fucking hacks. History will judge them harshly, and rightly so.
Roberts once cared about the reputation of his court but all conscience left him when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.
Clarence Thomas will go down in history as one of the most corrupt men to ever sit on the SCOTUS, unabashedly so. Ginni Thomas and Martha Alito will be remembered as corrupt spouses of corrupt judges, christofascist and un-American in every sense of the world.
Three women whose advice we should have heeded: Anita Hill, Susan Blasey-Ford and Hillary Clinton. They knew better than anyone about corruption, sexism, misogyny and racism.
Yes, I'd wager many of us know good honorable people who "live their faith". Sharon, that's a good reminder to those of us who get carried away (I do) with Evangelicals/Christians re: #OrangeTurd. It is not fair to paint all religious people with the same brush. I know I've done it.
The Uber-wealthy will continue to pay for their vision, where they accumulate more than just wealth and power, but privilege to mold the world as they see fit! It’s their world, we’re simply serfs who do their bidding!
Love the thought Arne, however the denizens of this country will likely not allow the Uber-wealthy to win the immunity game… the rage we read here will be millions fold!
Jack Smith didn’t whine, moan, or complain in all caps when the immunity ruling came down from the lame Supremes. He and his team persisted (!), did their jobs and found more evidence to go after the Repugnant mafioso, and its godfather. When can we nominate Jack for the Nobel prize? Or maybe a Pulitzer for the filing?
Don’t you have 24 schadenfreude just thinking about the backfire of this entire exercise in futility? The Domino effect of claiming the 2020 election was stolen not only created a violent coup, laid bare the corruption of the Supreme Court, forced women into secondary citizenship status, interference on Trump’s behalf from the DOJ. Merrick Garland is ultimately to blame for the shameful lag of any investigation into Trump’s crime wave.
Bill Barr is probably looking at jail time. Seated members of the Senate and Congress, their predecessors and staff should be somewhat concerned if their name shows up online out of the blue. That’s the world of shit Jack Smith’s filing opened up. Not one person from the Democratic Party and what I like to call reality is involved at any time.
Oh one more thing, I’d like to address how Mitch McConnell’s schadenfreude will be particularly satisfying.
I bet he wakes up every morning and thinks about he alone could’ve stopped all of this. He could have wiped his corrupt record clean by stopping Trump in his tracks and had him convicted. His coulda, woulda, shoulda must be a crushing weight. He could’ve redeemed himself and gone down in history as a hero. Trump would have been exposed for the stupid, dangerous, evil traitor of all time. You, Mitch McConnell would’ve single handedly saved democracy. You should’ve done your job.
I wish. But I doubt that the turtle has a thread of decency which might allow him to at least ask “what have I done?”
The only person I’m aware of on the level of a McConnell who admitted to, and was ruined by, facing the reality of his own bad acts was Robert McNamara. Every time I see or hear a bit on how he never really slept again after coming face to face with and admitting his role in Vietnam (hyperbole? I don’t know, but I do love the idea) I have a little happy dance in my chest.
Not only did he fail to convict Trump, but he stole a SCOTUS nomination from Obama, claiming they were within a year from the 2016 election, and they needed to “let the people decide.” And then, when RBG passed away just WEEKS before the 2020 election—after voting had already begun—he allowed the confirmation of ACB to be rushed through. He is responsible for this corrupt court.
If McConnell had kicked Trump into touch at the first opportunity, I believe the Republicans would have won the Senate and Presidency in 2020, possibly the House too. (I am assuming Pence would have made a much better fist of the covid response.) I bet he's got a very sore behind from kicking himself constantly.
He doesn't need to be AG (though we need one more appropriate for These Times, VP and perhaps soon to be President-Elect Harris!). However, I'd love to see him rooting out corruption in the DOJ and the FBI and the Secret Service.
I sincerely hope Jack has the protection needed for him and his family …he’s made a lot of flakey mo fo’s nervous about everything and he’s not slowing down ..more jittery fuckers are being named all the time ! Enough Money can buy anything and these pricks own the Mega Money 💰 Printing press’s And the Mint !! I was 6 when Jack Kennedy got offed and that one is still a fucken mystery! Fuck the Warren report ! JFK WAS MAKING PEOPLE NERVOUS! And he was a beloved President by Most of the country !!
I am not shitting this is going to open up a can of worms the likes of which haven’t ever been seen never EVER !!! Half the fucken Government is involved in this Scheme ! I really hope Joe is on top of things because he might very well be the only one who can stop this madness!! Executive Powers !!! Please Joe we got faith in you ! If you gotta you gotta ! End of line !
I agree with you. I think the fact that Joe is still President is going to end up being very important as this thing plays out...and if you've noticed, he's calling Shithead a liar every chance he gets. Joe has done everything he can for this country, and I am convinced that he has no fucks left to give, and if MAGA keeps thinking he's asleep at the switch, Dark Brandon is likely to show up!!!!
Hear, Hear! WHEN turd is convicted & sent to THE BIG HOUSE, we ask Kamala to give Jack Smith & his team the Medal of Freedom! He should write a book on how he dealt with all the lies, stunts, corruption.
Thanks for the correction. Tho I follow politics, I've never known who George (?) Soros is/was, which party. Same with the Adelsons. If turd gaveiriam Adelson the Medal of Freedom, they must be big GOP donors.
Yes, the Adelson’s are an extremely wealthy Jewish couple who give tons of money to Trump’s campaign. Mr Adelson is dead now.
They donated a huge amount to his first run for president, & what they wanted in return was for Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem; & he delivered that.
Now Miriam has donated another huge sum to the current campaign, & what she wants in return is for the US to turn a blind eye when Netanyahu annexes all of the West Bank & make it Israel’s property!!
That makes me so angry, there is no way in hell that we should allow that to happen.
oh, ye of little faith...the "Supremes" are sofa king corrupt, that I believe they can do or say whatever they want, knowing that there's nothing or no one who can stop them...I don't trust ANYTHING about this SCOTUS, and I think it's entirely possible that they will do whatever they have to do to protect this vile ignorant orange sack of raw sewage...I'd LOVE to be proven wrong
Their unofficial name is The Supremely Complicit Court. They can commence getting fitted with their orange jumpsuits, starting with Justice Clarence “The Pube” Thomas, his deranged wife boss, and the remaining bought-and-paid-for justices.
And about 1/3 of the GOP Congress not to mention that old tool from Iowa, Grassley. I think that bunch would have and of course should have been indicted albeit for losing too many representatives.
Sheesh, your model Republican party folks. Sad but true.
Now with NC & GA & other states most likely not to be able to vote on time ... somehow those folks need a way to vote! And if SCOTUS tries to overturn a Kamala win, can't Biden with unltd immunity tell SCOTUS "I am certifying this election"?
Exactly, just look at the shit they just pulled- allowing an AZ state law to override a Federal voting rights act that was upheld by Antonin Scalia fcs.
They are letting AZ enforce their rule requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Some 41,000 have already registered without showing this proof. They ruled to allow those to stand, but they are going to actually hear the full case when they reconvene. I hate them
Let's SAVOR THE DELICIOUS IRONY OF JUDGE TANYA CHUTKAN, ***A WOMAN IF COLOR, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, PROFESSIONAL, MEASURED WITH NO WHIFF IF CONFLICT OF INTEREST (looking at you Clarence, Brett, Sammy)*** releasing this damning info before the election!!! As Lawrence or Prof Tribe said last night, "be careful what you wish for" 💥💥💥💥💥 Jack's team & Judge played by SCOTUS's bizarre rules and still are able to bring a devastating case vs. turd.
A rather curious and complicated ruling on Smith’s opening statement might spell the death of SCOTUS, as we know it…first there’s a little detail about an election Walter!!
Good question, Deb. With all of the powers The Supremes just endowed POTUS with recently, it might be possible. Other more informed readers may be able to tell us. 🤞
I think you heard all of us screaming it at the same time and continuously. Seriously does he have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue to be considered guilty? After proper investigations, hearings, rulings and appeals, of course. Let me scream it
Awesome -- I feel ya, we are all fuckin over this bullshit already. Pdiddy may implicate him but god, does he need to do anything else to earn a ticket to jail?
Unfortunately it won’t be over in a month. If he wins, we have a pretty good idea of what comes next. If he loses? Larger scale crying and hollering for years. Dare I say, right up to the next POTUS election.
Trump exists bc there are so many cheering for him. In any real world, how do we swallow what seems to be truth, that KH/TW haven’t soared legions over the old fart? How. How. Who are these people who cannot see what the fucker and his tribe are all about. Nevertheless, there they stand. And there they shall squawk. And carry on. And lie and hate and crime. Whether he wins or loses.
Unless actual Republicans stand up and take their party back from MAGA, this kind of fuckery will only continue. We need two parties who actually care about the rule of law and the well being of ALL American citizens, to work to repair the damage that has been done. That will not be easy. It will be hard for Democrats to forgive, and it will take time for Republicans to admit their complicity in all that has happened. Some (of both sides) never will.
The sooner, the better. How much more evidence does SCOTUS need to see the pile of criminal shit that Trump keeps shoveling is at an epic level? It's suppose to be we the people and not protecting the orange turd at all costs.
For the Dictatorial Six, there is *literally* nothing he could do that would make them turn against him. He could murder all of their spouses with his own tiny little hands and they'd still genuflect before him.
If you love someone who is old school Republican, tell them voting blue up and down the ticket this one time does not make them a Democrat, but a patriot.
Jack is our hope. He’s brilliant and he’s not backing down. Thank God. I still am freaked out by the number of Americans who still want a dictatorship. WTF? The courts -and a landslide victory at the polls -are where we must prevail.
Slowly and steadily. Racism was interwoven into our country at its inception. As people evolve our nation will reflect that evolution. I hold onto that belief because I've lived through some heartbreaking shit. Vote blue.
The world is getting more diverse every day. Years ago Time or Newsweek, not sure which, had an early computer generated image of a woman that had the supposed genetic makeup of every race in proportion to population. She was a very attractive lady with a light brown skin tone. The magazine received a number of inquiries from men if they could have her contact info. Haha, the magazine, which had explicitly stated that it was a CGI, had to say again that the image was not a real person.
I live in Hawaii where we have the most intermarriage in the country. There are individuals with 7 or eight or even more ethnicities, often including Polynesian, Asian, European in the same person. Less common but still present are African American and Native American heritage. While we do have racists and racism like anywhere else, as you may expect it is much less because it's pointless where people are very mixed. This is the future of America and the larger world. The white supremacists and other anti-miscegenation types are fighting a losing battle and they know it. Perhaps that's why they are so vehement. But they are on the wrong side of history and progress and will lose. Assuredly.
I believe that train left the station. Our population is half Hispanic where I live. They are the next generation and they are being educated to lead and serve.
First they came for the drag queens, and I did not speak out, because I'm not a drag queen. Then they came for queer people, and I didn't speak out, because I'm not queer. Then they came for the liberals - and there was no one left to speak for me.
Their world view, if you can even call it that, is so narrow! "God, Guns & Trump" is a t-shirt I see a lot in this small town deep red area. "Whites only, Christians only" are implied. I'm relieved Kamala and Tim both are gun owners -- takes that "they're coming for your guns" card away from GOP.
No matter what they try to do to make themselves more attractive the fact remains they are and always will be ugly in mind ,soul and body u can’t change ugly if it’s what u want to be!
Same. I'm struggling with my feelings over a friendly elderly man, a 30 year veteran, who supports turd. I know someday I'll see him. I just can't with a turd "person".
Sorry to be so frank, but it seems that anyone who can enthusiastically support him has some serious issues themselves. His almost endless negatives are impossible to ignore. Lies, racist comments, insurrection, treasonous behavior, sexual assault, adultery, grifts, lust for Ivanka, the Epstein connection, Stormy, Karen McDougal, being a legendary welcher and cheapskate, misogyny “grab ‘em by the pussy”), election denial, charity misuse, Trump University fraud, love for dictators, where to end?
It's truly like living with death in the family...people who you thought had the same values, morals, integrity...and you discover that they didn't. What's worse with me, is that when I look back on different events over the last 25 years, I discover how many times I made excuses in my mind and overlooked things that should have given me a clue. These people were good to me after my husband passed away so suddenly, so I tried to make allowances, even after the 2016 election. But after the 2020 election, there were no more excuses, and since then I just become more upset and angry.
Same here Susan. Anyone supporting Trump is supporting Sedition, rape and a 34-count felon. They are helping support Fascism. I cannot, will not maintain a friendship with anyone jeopardizing my way of life and those of future generations. How outrageous!
I find with SOME it’s just plain old fear and peer pressure some folks are very timid and can’t stand the thought of losing what few “friends “ they think they have . It’s sad but unfortunately a part of being human ,fear sucks ! Trump sucks much,much more! He knows how to use fear to his advantage and he wields it as a weapon to gain any edge no matter the harm he does to others !🤬Although my most frequent response to a supporter of the Keeper of the shit is Hey 👋 opinions r like Assholes everybody’s got one or is one …have a nice day moron ! 😜😂
More difficult with a family member of course! I once believed friendships can be everlasting, however religion, politics, culture and life in general can turn a good one into yesterday’s dross Susan!
What world does she live in? Does she think any violence like a "civil war" is justifiable?
Has she seen what war actually looks like? I give you credit for being friends with someone like that. Pardon my judgment, but she seems like an absolute fucking moron.
We all have the same difficulty and the same questions, I don’t know but Jack hopefully has this timed out so that if he fails he can still have a victory at the polls for Kamala!
Yippee-ki-yay mother fucker….as Bruce Willis would say (and me!). Excellent job Jack Smith-this should be a fucking no brainer for “normal republicans” -if there are any!!!! And Harris and Liz Cheney are in Ripon, WI today-birthplace of the Republican party——maybe a new start if anyone dares to stand up to dipshit trump.
My belief all along is that Liz Cheney will lead the Republican party out of trumpism and will be a serious contender in 2028. I’ve never been a fan but I’m glad she stood against the criming trump family & friends so far.
Agree. To me, Dick Cheney pulled W's dull mind strings for a needless 20 year war. I have nothing but contempt for W or Cheney. His endorsement of Kamala, tho, is a huge deal.
Jeff, I know you'll eventually address it too, but this dockworker's strike that started 12:01 AM on Oct.1 (a literal October surprise) occurred after trump met with the union leader, some gold-chain wearing multi millionaire. Coincidence? Check this guy's bank account next year if trump wins in Nov.
Hi Jeff.. no comment today other than to wish all who celebrate Rosh Hashanah and all who do not.. I want to wish each and everyone a happy, sweet and healthy New Year. Best to all in this outstanding community.
Better he should be forced to be in the employ of Haitian Americans in Springfield as part of his parole- ya know, sweeping out bathrooms, changing the elderly’s diapers, washing windows, all the physical tasks he never did in his life. Torture it would be to him!
He couldn't do it. First he has to pass a drug test, which he will fail. Then he would need skills, which he doesn't have. Then his attitude will not change so there's no way he can be kind to people, because he's unkind. And, oh my gosh, his bone spurs might kick up, so to speak 🙊.
Oh, yeah. They are trying to show that Kamala has been in power for four years. Actually, things have gone pretty well for a person who basically has no power. The VP job is just to wait for the President to die.
I am just an ordinary person, legal immigrant, naturalized citizen since 1967 who im.ediately started to vote locally ,in my state,in the General Elecection..as a REGISTERED DEM. Once I fully understood the AMERICAN VOTING SYSTEM ,I realized what a twisted ball of crap it was! That ELECTOR SHIT.... The efforts of one party to take away one'sVOTING right if you were born in some shack and you have no birthcertificate ..or worse !! They accuse you of not being born in America..hell..I know what country I was born in..then they try to take your right away and you know where you were born. That is WRONG . NOW..we know for sure that those REPUBLICANS like old Fuck , CHUCK GRASSLY, were ready to put FAKE ELECTORS IN..AS DESIGNED BY TRUMP & HIS CABAL.
Not to say that the EC is a good thing, but it's a product of back when horses were the only means of transportation, so vote results took forever to reach the capital, and because the Founding Fathers did not want a true democracy. They wanted only White, land-owning men to be able to vote. They did not want what they called "mob rule." Things have changed so much in 250 years, and the EC is an outdated, useless relic and millstone that we can't seem to get rid of.
Like most sane individuals, I was heartbroken when The Supremes made their horribly corrupt ruling on “presidential immunity.”
Have no fear, Jack Smith is here!
His filing is so persuasive that I can’t see how even the corrupted Supremes can rule against it.
They will twist themselves into pretzels to serve their master. We shall see what happens. I think they will rule against it. What do they have to lose? They have a job for life no matter how corrupt they are. Their reputations are already ruined so where's the harm? Their overlords will only continue to pay them if they vote as they are told to. All the legalese in the world can't cover their stench.
Thankfully The Supremes will not get this case until after the election. Trump will be just another citizen by then and they won't have to bend their knee to him anymore. I say they bury him. There's another MAGA right behind him to take over, just like the mob.

The past few years have shown that they have no respect for the law, the Constitution, nor for precedent. I don't expect that to change. I hope I'm wrong.
Don't "think". KNOW! The proof is all over the place for clearance, sammy, and johnny. (And isn't there some new dope coming about about goresucks?)
You're right. I should have said that I KNOW the supremes get their money from outside sources. My bad.
Oh, but Dumpy might send out mean tweets/truth social messages about them! That really scares them.
I think Donnie fat mouth is gonna be a very troublesome liability as soon as the defection is over ….if not sooner . Vance is an excellent substitute for Assholemouth …JD is slicker than snot flicked off a finger nail 💅 they love him in traitorville ! Weird bastards might just do a mirror of the dems , and run him if it looks bad for Shitler ! WTF they play back every other thing the dems do and try turning it to their advantage!? Who knows what the fuck the psycho bastards will try !?🤪🤔🧐😜 NOTHING IS NORMAL!!
The only thing the repuglies can do that’s even close to right is to make sure neither vance nor anyone in the Heritage Foundation ever, ever runs for President.
LOL!!!
😛
Hopefully, barring past election fuckery Jayme! Trump and his miasma of mutant minions have been working on overthrowing democracy for many years, nearly successfully in the past election. The House and Senate have passed legislation that should prevent any related election issues that may arise… but the religious insanity and authoritarian rule idiocy continue to exist in our Republic!
If Kamala wins, they may simply deny certiorari and avoid the issue.
With the initials JDV
Me thinks, your articulation will become fact Jayme, then we worry about future elections!
Won’t they have to reverse the immunity decision once Harris is in? What the hell is scarier to those turds than a black lady with total immunity?
LOL!
Good point ! They will be totally freaked ….who knows what the crazy imbeciles will do !😵💫🤪😜😱 !??
Jayme, I think the Supremes are looking beyond TFG. They can do whatever they want to further their bought and paid for agenda for as long as they are enriched.
I used to think that of all the conservatives on the court, only Roberts had a modicum of awareness of the court's dignity, probity, and most solemn and influential position as the "Court of Last Resort." Well, that's out the window. Even with the disastrous rulings in the history of SCOTUS that showed naked racism, this is the worst I could have imagined.

F!*8!$ religion is the basis for all our troubles. Apologies to true Christians who act accordingly.
Thank you for the recognition of those of us who do our best to be Jesus followers, and not Bible cherry pickers.
Yes, I'd wager many of us know good honorable people who "live their faith". Sharon, that's a good reminder to those of us who get carried away (I do) with Evangelicals/Christians re: #OrangeTurd. It is not fair to paint all religious people with the same brush. I know I've done it.
I try to be careful with others faith. Crazy is pretty easy to spot. True faith in improving the world is often quiet.
Ditto HI2, movements to impeach are in motion, because of the not so supreme lifetime appointments…cross your fingers!
Same here. I was both shocked and terribly disappointed when the truth came out: he LED the SCOTUS coup!
Cause, religion. Right?
The Uber-wealthy will continue to pay for their vision, where they accumulate more than just wealth and power, but privilege to mold the world as they see fit! It’s their world, we’re simply serfs who do their bidding!
I hope you are right. History tends to be written by the winners.
Agreed.
The Bloated Yam will walk.
That sounds about right.
Love the thought Arne, however the denizens of this country will likely not allow the Uber-wealthy to win the immunity game… the rage we read here will be millions fold!
How I hope you are right. The main thing right now is to get Harris elected. Vote Blue!
But Patrick, what can we do? What if the yam usurps the Presidency by hook or by crook? (Especially crook.)
There will be riots.
I will march. Peacefully, if the MAGAts let me.
You are right and I need to hear what exactly has changed with that and Trumps criminality?
Jack Smith didn’t whine, moan, or complain in all caps when the immunity ruling came down from the lame Supremes. He and his team persisted (!), did their jobs and found more evidence to go after the Repugnant mafioso, and its godfather. When can we nominate Jack for the Nobel prize?

He should go after every member of Congress that helped Trump in any way. Get them out of Congress into jail.
I wish. But I doubt that the turtle has a thread of decency which might allow him to at least ask “what have I done?”
The only person I’m aware of on the level of a McConnell who admitted to, and was ruined by, facing the reality of his own bad acts was Robert McNamara.

True. There is a lot of corruption in those outfits. Remember when they all washed their phone conversations during the insurrection? Guilty, much?
Exactly Arne— nothing ever became of that “convenient” washing of cell phones….. they were just following “protocol “?
Yup. The protocol of not getting caught.
I sincerely hope Jack has the protection needed for him and his family …he’s made a lot of flakey mo fo’s nervous about everything and he’s not slowing down ..more jittery fuckers are being named all the time ! Enough Money can buy anything and these pricks own the Mega Money 💰 Printing press’s And the Mint !! I was 6 when Jack Kennedy got offed and that one is still a fucken mystery!

We all know damned well that numerous Senators were in on the scheme, as well as House Reps; numero uno being Holy Mike Johnson.
I hope some of them get dragged down with this. Yes, I want some of the Supeemes impeached!!!
Hear, Hear! WHEN turd is convicted & sent to THE BIG HOUSE, we ask Kamala to give Jack Smith & his team the Medal of Freedom! He should write a book on how he dealt with all the lies, stunts, corruption.
Appointment him AG!!
Pardon me if that's a Medal only for military people. I had not known the significance of the Medals & meaning till the Mrs. Soros thing.
It’s not Mrs Soros, it’s Miriam Adelson
Yes, the Medal of Freedom is a civilian honor, & Jack Smith deserves it!!!
Thanks for the correction. Tho I follow politics, I've never known who George (?) Soros is/was, which party. Same with the Adelsons. If turd gaveiriam Adelson the Medal of Freedom, they must be big GOP donors.
Yes, the Adelson’s are an extremely wealthy Jewish couple who give tons of money to Trump’s campaign. Mr Adelson is dead now.
They donated a huge amount to his first run for president, & what they wanted in return was for Trump to move the US embassy to Jerusalem; & he delivered that.
Now Miriam has donated another huge sum to the current campaign, & what she wants in return is for the US to turn a blind eye when Netanyahu annexes all of the West Bank & make it Israel’s property!!
That makes me so angry, there is no way in hell that we should allow that to happen.
I hope he writes his memoir after all this mess winds down.
oh, ye of little faith...the "Supremes" are sofa king corrupt, that I believe they can do or say whatever they want, knowing that there's nothing or no one who can stop them...I don't trust ANYTHING about this SCOTUS, and I think it's entirely possible that they will do whatever they have to do to protect this vile ignorant orange sack of raw sewage...I'd LOVE to be proven wrong
Their unofficial name is The Supremely Complicit Court. They can commence getting fitted with their orange jumpsuits, starting with Justice Clarence “The Pube” Thomas, his deranged wife boss, and the remaining bought-and-paid-for justices.
Ginnie Thomas should have been indicted years ago. She is a seditionist.
Well yeah, but so many of the entitled kind have nothing to fear.
And about 1/3 of the GOP Congress not to mention that old tool from Iowa, Grassley. I think that bunch would have and of course should have been indicted albeit for losing too many representatives.
Sheesh, your model Republican party folks. Sad but true.
Yeah, I hope Jack Smith indicts Ginni soon.
Clarence The Pube Thomas. That is just too funny!!! 😂
Now with NC & GA & other states most likely not to be able to vote on time ... somehow those folks need a way to vote! And if SCOTUS tries to overturn a Kamala win, can't Biden with unltd immunity tell SCOTUS "I am certifying this election"?
Well the sitting VP presides over the certification of the election. And unfortunately for MAGA, that happens to be Harris. 🤣
Good question. Constitutionally the prez has no role in certification. But based upon his new found immunity, worth a shot.
I see Biden using "unlimited powers" only as a last option, if he has to do something to literally save democracy.
The New York City Bar Association asserts that Congress has the authority to impose ethics rules on the Supreme Court. We have to get there, though...by voting for a Democratic House, Senate, and President. https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2024/10/02/nycba-asserts-congress-authority-over-supreme-court/.
Correct Deb, but Manuchin was an explosive democratic trip wire for his term!
Exactly, just look at the shit they just pulled- allowing an AZ state law to override a Federal voting rights act that was upheld by Antonin Scalia fcs.
They are letting AZ enforce their rule requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Some 41,000 have already registered without showing this proof. They ruled to allow those to stand, but they are going to actually hear the full case when they reconvene. I hate them
It appears that The Supremes are now tRump’s last shot at anything besides prison.
Not so. If Trump should actually win this election, he will make it all go away. I keep thinking too little, too late.
Let's SAVOR THE DELICIOUS IRONY OF JUDGE TANYA CHUTKAN, ***A WOMAN IF COLOR, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, PROFESSIONAL, MEASURED WITH NO WHIFF IF CONFLICT OF INTEREST (looking at you Clarence, Brett, Sammy)*** releasing this damning info before the election!!! As Lawrence or Prof Tribe said last night, "be careful what you wish for" 💥💥💥💥💥 Jack's team & Judge played by SCOTUS's bizarre rules and still are able to bring a devastating case vs. turd.
A rather curious and complicated ruling on Smith’s opening statement might spell the death of SCOTUS, as we know it…first there’s a little detail about an election Walter!!
Wish POTUS could fire them. Can he/she?
Good question, Deb. With all of the powers The Supremes just endowed POTUS with recently, it might be possible. Other more informed readers may be able to tell us. 🤞
No, he can't actually fire them, but he can order Seal Team Six to kill some or all of them.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣
Robert, I’m afraid you’re right!
WTF Jackson ignored them ! They can’t enforce their rulings ! Fuck them !
FOR FUCK'S SAKE PUT HIS FUCKIN ASS IN FUCKIN JAIL ALREADY G-D FUCKING DAMN ITTTTTTTTTTT AGGGHHHHHHHH
I think I heard you here on the east coast of Florida! Or at least my dog did.
I think you heard all of us screaming it at the same time and continuously. Seriously does he have to shoot someone on 5th Avenue to be considered guilty? After proper investigations, hearings, rulings and appeals, of course. Let me scream it
louder. WTAF 🙀
Awesome -- I feel ya, we are all fuckin over this bullshit already. Pdiddy may implicate him but god, does he need to do anything else to earn a ticket to jail?
😂😂😂
😄😂
I know, I know. The whole thing is exhausting. Win or lose, it's over in a month or so. Vote Blue and maybe we can save our country.
Unfortunately it won’t be over in a month. If he wins, we have a pretty good idea of what comes next. If he loses? Larger scale crying and hollering for years. Dare I say, right up to the next POTUS election.
Trump exists bc there are so many cheering for him. In any real world, how do we swallow what seems to be truth, that KH/TW haven’t soared legions over the old fart? How. How. Who are these people who cannot see what the fucker and his tribe are all about. Nevertheless, there they stand. And there they shall squawk. And carry on. And lie and hate and crime. Whether he wins or loses.
Unless actual Republicans stand up and take their party back from MAGA, this kind of fuckery will only continue. We need two parties who actually care about the rule of law and the well being of ALL American citizens, to work to repair the damage that has been done. That will not be easy. It will be hard for Democrats to forgive, and it will take time for Republicans to admit their complicity in all that has happened. Some (of both sides) never will.
The 154 GOP House members still need to be dealt with. Add Sens. Ron Johnson WI, Chuck Grassley + Ted Cruz(?).
Senators Tom Cotton and Tommy Tuberville as well.
Senator JD.
"it's over in a month or so" THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT FOUR YEARS AGO and we're still going through this shit!
The sooner, the better. How much more evidence does SCOTUS need to see the pile of criminal shit that Trump keeps shoveling is at an epic level? It's suppose to be we the people and not protecting the orange turd at all costs.
For the Dictatorial Six, there is *literally* nothing he could do that would make them turn against him. He could murder all of their spouses with his own tiny little hands and they'd still genuflect before him.
Maybe if he ate their dawgs? People do love their pups.
Like
If it was terrorists, say ISIS, doing violence on Election Day, the police could open fire on the violent mob, right? I'm serious. Ashley Babbot them.
It's not we the people anymore. Sorry to say.
😂I’m so with you on that! 😡
I'm with you, what else is needed?
If you love someone who is old school Republican, tell them voting blue up and down the ticket this one time does not make them a Democrat, but a patriot.
Yes, yes, yes!!!
YES !!!!!
Jack is our hope. He’s brilliant and he’s not backing down. Thank God. I still am freaked out by the number of Americans who still want a dictatorship. WTF? The courts -and a landslide victory at the polls -are where we must prevail.
What people who support trump want is to maintain white dominance otherwise known as white supremacy. Them the Facts. Excellent job Jack Smith.
Which begs the question will humanity ever grow out of its racist tendencies? Its pathetic.
Slowly and steadily. Racism was interwoven into our country at its inception. As people evolve our nation will reflect that evolution. I hold onto that belief because I've lived through some heartbreaking shit. Vote blue.
I believed Richard Prior when he said " if everybody just keeps fucking everybody else, it won't matter. We will all look the same".
As a person who has lived with racism my entire adult life, I would love to see that day come.
The world is getting more diverse every day. Years ago Time or Newsweek, not sure which, had an early computer generated image of a woman that had the supposed genetic makeup of every race in proportion to population. She was a very attractive lady with a light brown skin tone. The magazine received a number of inquiries from men if they could have her contact info. Haha, the magazine, which had explicitly stated that it was a CGI, had to say again that the image was not a real person.
I live in Hawaii where we have the most intermarriage in the country. There are individuals with 7 or eight or even more ethnicities, often including Polynesian, Asian, European in the same person. Less common but still present are African American and Native American heritage. While we do have racists and racism like anywhere else, as you may expect it is much less because it's pointless where people are very mixed. This is the future of America and the larger world. The white supremacists and other anti-miscegenation types are fighting a losing battle and they know it. Perhaps that's why they are so vehement. But they are on the wrong side of history and progress and will lose. Assuredly.
It won’t - and not just here, but all over the world. Sad.
Only when the denizens of this blue spinning cosmic rock are of one colour Susan!
☹️. Not much to look forward to
I believe that train left the station. Our population is half Hispanic where I live. They are the next generation and they are being educated to lead and serve.
People r people r people r people r people
“who still want a dictatorship” is what shocks and confounds the rest of us. If it’s YOUR dictatorship, it’s okay. (Until it’s not)
The famous quote from Pastor Martin Niemoller about the Holocaust:
"First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a socialist
Then the came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me."
First they came for the drag queens, and I did not speak out, because I'm not a drag queen. Then they came for queer people, and I didn't speak out, because I'm not queer. Then they came for the liberals - and there was no one left to speak for me.
There. Think about it.
Why are drag queens so terrifying to these humps? It's just an entertaining art form. Jeebus! Grow up.
Their world view, if you can even call it that, is so narrow! "God, Guns & Trump" is a t-shirt I see a lot in this small town deep red area. "Whites only, Christians only" are implied. I'm relieved Kamala and Tim both are gun owners -- takes that "they're coming for your guns" card away from GOP.
No matter what they try to do to make themselves more attractive the fact remains they are and always will be ugly in mind ,soul and body u can’t change ugly if it’s what u want to be!
If I were Vance’s mother in law I’d kick him in the nuts for that disrespect. She’s a fucking college professor, molecular biology.
Why is her daughter married to such a misogynist dipshit?
Why do you think Vancey Pants thinks women need to stay in an abusive marriage? Seriously anyone else have this first thought about him?
Because she is probably just like him. Look at her career. She is the same opportunist he is.
Never forget!! All that our veterans have fought and died for shall not be lost to this corrupt narcissist.
For today, I choose to believe that this latest filing will amount to something.
I know better.
Think positive…the law of averages has to kick in at some point! Karma’s pulling the strings to balance the Scales ⚖️
I wish she would hurry up. I want to live to see it. 😁
Agreed Susan, at least for the next few years!
I hate to say but I let people go when I find out they support Dump. It’s a matter of morals, integrity, and intellect.
Same. I'm struggling with my feelings over a friendly elderly man, a 30 year veteran, who supports turd. I know someday I'll see him. I just can't with a turd "person".
Sorry to be so frank, but it seems that anyone who can enthusiastically support him has some serious issues themselves. His almost endless negatives are impossible to ignore. Lies, racist comments, insurrection, treasonous behavior, sexual assault, adultery, grifts, lust for Ivanka, the Epstein connection, Stormy, Karen McDougal, being a legendary welcher and cheapskate, misogyny “grab ‘em by the pussy”), election denial, charity misuse, Trump University fraud, love for dictators, where to end?
That’s a great point.
With him ? The sky’s not even close to the Limit ! He sits in his empty bed with his empty head and his dreams become our dread !😰
It’s harder when it’s your daughter!
Or both your sisters
If it’s your daughter, keep trying to get her to see the light
It's truly like living with death in the family...people who you thought had the same values, morals, integrity...and you discover that they didn't. What's worse with me, is that when I look back on different events over the last 25 years, I discover how many times I made excuses in my mind and overlooked things that should have given me a clue. These people were good to me after my husband passed away so suddenly, so I tried to make allowances, even after the 2016 election. But after the 2020 election, there were no more excuses, and since then I just become more upset and angry.
Same here Susan. Anyone supporting Trump is supporting Sedition, rape and a 34-count felon. They are helping support Fascism. I cannot, will not maintain a friendship with anyone jeopardizing my way of life and those of future generations. How outrageous!
Well said- they are not considering the ramifications of their choices.
I find with SOME it’s just plain old fear and peer pressure some folks are very timid and can’t stand the thought of losing what few “friends “ they think they have . It’s sad but unfortunately a part of being human ,fear sucks ! Trump sucks much,much more! He knows how to use fear to his advantage and he wields it as a weapon to gain any edge no matter the harm he does to others !🤬Although my most frequent response to a supporter of the Keeper of the shit is Hey 👋 opinions r like Assholes everybody’s got one or is one …have a nice day moron ! 😜😂
More difficult with a family member of course! I once believed friendships can be everlasting, however religion, politics, culture and life in general can turn a good one into yesterday’s dross Susan!
What world does she live in? Does she think any violence like a "civil war" is justifiable?
Has she seen what war actually looks like? I give you credit for being friends with someone like that. Pardon my judgment, but she seems like an absolute fucking moron.
Lisa, I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Losing a dear friend is so hard. Best of luck navigating this sad situation. 💐
My doctor admitted that too. I told her she wouldn’t be on the winning side!
We all have the same difficulty and the same questions, I don’t know but Jack hopefully has this timed out so that if he fails he can still have a victory at the polls for Kamala!
Just your daily reminder that this is the most corrupt Supreme Court ever. Six grifters looking for their next payoff and illegal contributions.
Yippee-ki-yay mother fucker….as Bruce Willis would say (and me!). Excellent job Jack Smith-this should be a fucking no brainer for “normal republicans” -if there are any!!!! And Harris and Liz Cheney are in Ripon, WI today-birthplace of the Republican party——maybe a new start if anyone dares to stand up to dipshit trump.
My belief all along is that Liz Cheney will lead the Republican party out of trumpism and will be a serious contender in 2028. I’ve never been a fan but I’m glad she stood against the criming trump family & friends so far.
She has something the rest of the GOP lacks..it's called Integrity
And two things most of the Republican males lack BALLS !
Not that I’m a fan of her or her maniac father ,but credit where credit is due !👍
Agree. To me, Dick Cheney pulled W's dull mind strings for a needless 20 year war. I have nothing but contempt for W or Cheney. His endorsement of Kamala, tho, is a huge deal.
It’s a stunning document.
As we're the others.
So easy to differentiate between the Truth Social posts that Diaper Donny wrote and those that his staff wrote.
All CAPS, no punctuation or proper grammar? Diaper Donny
Proper grammar, punctuation and utilization of lower case letters? Staff
A malignant narcissist screaming for attention! ITS ALL ABOUT ME ME ME!
Jeff, I know you'll eventually address it too, but this dockworker's strike that started 12:01 AM on Oct.1 (a literal October surprise) occurred after trump met with the union leader, some gold-chain wearing multi millionaire. Coincidence? Check this guy's bank account next year if trump wins in Nov.
My thoughts exactly. 🎯
Hi Jeff.. no comment today other than to wish all who celebrate Rosh Hashanah and all who do not.. I want to wish each and everyone a happy, sweet and healthy New Year. Best to all in this outstanding community.
Yes, very thoughtful of you. And may this time keep us free from panic but not from necessary action.
Thank you for the reminder Fredo. Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate. 🕎
Thank you! How nice of you to say that.
Thank you 😀
Bring it Jeff!
FIRST
FUCK TRUMP
YES!! BRING IT JEFF.
Thank you for keeping me sane 💙
YES!!!
Speaking for the women of America, I'd much rather not.
I’m working on it from my end …
I still want to see him hanging by his ankles from a gas station sign.
Thanks for the visual. I feel better now.
Better he should be forced to be in the employ of Haitian Americans in Springfield as part of his parole- ya know, sweeping out bathrooms, changing the elderly’s diapers, washing windows, all the physical tasks he never did in his life. Torture it would be to him!
He couldn't do it. First he has to pass a drug test, which he will fail. Then he would need skills, which he doesn't have. Then his attitude will not change so there's no way he can be kind to people, because he's unkind. And, oh my gosh, his bone spurs might kick up, so to speak 🙊.
👏👏👏👏😂
Don’t tease me TC!
I'd like to second ALL the above comments. LOCK HIS ORANGE ASS UP, FFS!!!
Did anyone else eyeball that fucktwit Donny barfed up that it’s the Harris-Biden DOJ and not Biden-Harris?
YES!! I noticed it right off the bat.
Oh, yeah. They are trying to show that Kamala has been in power for four years. Actually, things have gone pretty well for a person who basically has no power. The VP job is just to wait for the President to die.
Thanks Jeff… couldn’t put up with Donny without your help
Ditto
I like the hell out of us boomers!
I’m not a lawyer. Doesn’t the Trump family owe restitution to the member of the Capitol Police&their families?
Trump should pay for the enormous clean up/repair of the Capitol.
Trump thinks whatever’s best for him is what’s best. He will never think he was guilty, but money is something he understands.
I know the Trump family plans to leave the country if he loses, but who will take them? If he loses his personal political capital will be gone.
Trump’s are miserable useless bunch.
Trump isn’t strong enough to handle prison? Will his dementia get him a break?
What a loser.
The Saudis will gladly welcome their friends the Kushners.
Until they find out what stupid grifters they are!
They won't leave. Nobody wants them and I'm afraid we're stuck with them. He made the same empty threat last time.
I am just an ordinary person, legal immigrant, naturalized citizen since 1967 who im.ediately started to vote locally ,in my state,in the General Elecection..as a REGISTERED DEM. Once I fully understood the AMERICAN VOTING SYSTEM ,I realized what a twisted ball of crap it was! That ELECTOR SHIT.... The efforts of one party to take away one'sVOTING right if you were born in some shack and you have no birthcertificate ..or worse !! They accuse you of not being born in America..hell..I know what country I was born in..then they try to take your right away and you know where you were born. That is WRONG . NOW..we know for sure that those REPUBLICANS like old Fuck , CHUCK GRASSLY, were ready to put FAKE ELECTORS IN..AS DESIGNED BY TRUMP & HIS CABAL.
NOW WE KNOW THAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO GET ERASED.ONE PERSON.ONE VOTE.
Not to say that the EC is a good thing, but it's a product of back when horses were the only means of transportation, so vote results took forever to reach the capital, and because the Founding Fathers did not want a true democracy. They wanted only White, land-owning men to be able to vote. They did not want what they called "mob rule." Things have changed so much in 250 years, and the EC is an outdated, useless relic and millstone that we can't seem to get rid of.
Can also thank them for arming our militia, as it says in 2nd Amendment.
oh, but wait, that has been malignantly
twisted into “Guns for Everyone!”
