Also Need to send message to the Supreme Court that looking the other way needs to stop. SC acts as if there are no limits on his power. They are as guilty as him for allowing unchecked power grab.
Half the Supreme Court were bought and placed by Citizens United, a minion of Project 2025 in preparation for controlling all legislative branches… . They are corruption personified.
Yes, abortion was a real bell ringer, designed to put women in their place. Wonder what they would have ruled if it had to do with women voting or driving a car.
I wonder what the mothers of the male SC justices thought about the ruling. Had they actually birthed and raised sons to look down on women.
Do you have a point or do we now answer to chatcrap to do our thinking for us?
The SC are a bunch of legal weasels, more concerned with dotting the "i" s and crossing the "t"s than dealing with the underlying issues. The buck should stop at their bench, not looking for a way to get out of ruling on the merits.
As for the 2-3% that is a pathetic achievement. Not to mention on those few case handle, they daudle on it. Only making rulings at the last minute before running out the door. I call this the Trump rule. Let the case linger as long as possible, then rule in his favor anyway. What other industry only works 2-3% of the workload and stays in business?
Everyone in Trump's inner circle should have the same fear. Kristi Noem for illegally deporting men to a foreign concentration camp. Pete Hegseth for illegally ordering the murder of people in fishing boats. Tom Homan for illegally accepting a bag full of bribe cash. Et al.
I still say there should be Nuremberg-esuqe trials in 2028 where those that commited "crimes against humanity" like the OVERWHELMING majority have, should recieve legal injections!
Only then will justice be done for the TENS OF MILLIONS murdered by The Bunkerboy and it's stooges.
People who commit to such a criminal enterprise must continue their support as self defense. If the boss falls, they will face prosecution; only the boss can protect them. We know how this sordid movie ends: Nuremberg trials.
The amount of money is obscene juxtaposed against the suffering of billions around the world. The problems they could solve through the funding of social, science and equity platforms would be able to eliminate poverty, pollution and instill fairness in society. I dislike rich people. Electing better leaders for a better future is a must!
Supreme obscenity, I agree! Greed. And greed not "just" for trillions or quadrillions monetarily, but for POWER OVER instead of POWER TO. Those obscene amounts of money could have the power to enhance life and liberty and perhaps even the elusive pursuit of happiness. That latter goal should perhaps be modified because the criminal Supreme Court could decide that hoarding money is a god-given right of Americans. (By "criminal Supreme Court" I mean that that highest court in that land has been acting criminally and has been enabling criminal behaviour. How that managed to be normalised is absolutely astounding!)
I think Jason Jay Smart's post, a bit earlier today, is quite relevant to this topic.
He explains the fundamental difference between Ukraine vs. Putin's Russia & Trump's United States of America - ENFORCEMENT of the Rule-of-Law (spoiler alert - Ukraine does it; the other two, nope).
Good catch. Amazing how Trump and Guiliani beat the corruption drum against Ukraine using son Hunter as the punching bag. This was for the firing of the ukraine burisma investigator. Totally inoring that corruption is the main industry of Russia.
Justice must be done to this man. America has put up with waaayyyy too much injustice since its inception—which of course was based on injustice. Lately the pace of the graft, vanity, and megalomania of the moneyed class has only increased. It is now like a cancer on the body politic. Our country is in worse shape than it has been in my 51 years—and really prioritizing justice in all its forms would be a potential way back from our current path—which is not only ignominious but which will lead to our doom.
When Nixon was pardoned (I'm 78), I stated unambiguously that it was going to catalyze an ever increasing scale of criminality in the Executive Branch of our Government.
Iran Contra, Clinton LYING, Busy & Cheney's countless war crimes, Pedo-Trump 45 & now Pedo-Trump 47 are ALL consequences of OUR failure to ENFORCE the law irrespective of position, wealth, etc.
Until we begin to EMULATE the Ukrainians & Brazilians our claim to honoring the 'rule of law' will remain HYPOCRITICAL & LAUGHABLE.
I can't say I disagree with you. Ever since slavery in the brand new country we started a moral outrage that I'm afraid we have yet to atone for. Things have simply reached a fever pitch as of late.
Yes, Mr Merchey, we have not atoned for two major moral outrages our WHITE European ancestors considered their 'right' to commit - stealing a continent of real estate + using slave (almost free) labor to transform that real estate into vast wealth.
I'm a descendent of one of those WHITE Europeans, one that happened to be slave owner and signatory to the Declaration of Independence.
I've never 'bragged' about that portion of my genetic inheritance preferring instead to focus on the other 'half of my gene pool' - early 20th Century Italian immigrants who were called every name in the book and meant so much more to me.
America will neither be 'free' or remotely 'great' until it atones for those two major moral outrages.
We obviously have a long journey ahead given we have a POTUS, SecDef, and others all too eager to have US Navy Seals murder non-combatants (brown people) and when they don't finish the job on the 1st go at it, they strafe survivors clutching to the side of a sinking boat.
One trait we definitely need to discard on that journey is America's 'moral outrage' at others given how many times during the past 249 years we've readily committed every one of them.
That is an interesting story you have to tell. I certainly agree with your statement, "America will neither be 'free' or remotely 'great' until it atones for those two major moral outrages."
"He cannot pardon his sons if they lie to Congress." Not sure about that as Biden pardoned son Hunter.
What Dems need is to investigate the quid pro quo sale of America by Trump. Many of his actions directly relate to some benefit to him. Giving pardons to those connected to Trump and/or having financial links needs to stop. No more mass pardons.
The pardon authority needs to be drastically curtailed to prevent even a hint of conflict of interest. To add to this, his sons and SILs running all over the world with secret service protection selling the Trump brand needs to stop. This is a huge security risk for the agents and a major cost to the taxpayers. It also sends the message that USA can be bought.
We are just late to the game. The rest of the world has been doing it since day one.
Foreign actors have always bought off politicians to get what they want. Evidence in the USA is the number of Russian and Hamas supporters in the media. We have laws against buying foreignt influence, unfortunately money buys evil. This is the first time we have had a president be so blatant about it.
There is no single "law against buying foreign influence," but a combination of federal and state laws prohibit or regulate it, such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which requires disclosure for lobbying on behalf of foreign principals. Other laws include the Logan Act, which bars unauthorized communications with foreign governments by U.S. citizens to influence foreign policy, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits bribing foreign officials to secure business
Anyone who read the book and/or saw the movie "Unbroken" was horrified at the spectre of a Japanese fighter plane strafing American airmen in their life raft. There is no other word for that criminality than to call it evil. WAPO just reported that Lethal Pete Hegseth ordered American air crews to "kill them all" when strafing fishing boats alleged to be running drugs.
If an action like this is considered a war crime when executed by a Japanese air crew following orders of their commander, is not the very same action a war crime when committed by an American air crew following the orders of their "Secretary of War".
Here I thought you were going to tell us his biggest fear is losing his MIND!!! But I’m guessing you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone🎶 that doesn’t really fit but he didn’t use his brain when it DID work.
World leaders and governments foolishly have stepped into his trap. Everything he touches and does is below board, unlawful, and the people who seek to ingratiate themselves to him are nothing more than “marks”, in his con. He set them up. Because he will not stop at making billions off of them…wait until they decide they want out when the subpoenas roll in and the investigations start. His own cabinet are marks. Idiots he knew he could use, coerce, force into his service under the guise of “loyalty” and “trust”. They commit crimes for him, look the other way while he commits them, because if they want out? They’ll be destroyed.
He’s a CON. It’s simply how he operates and always has. I keep asking why a man who has billions rolling in on crypto needed “donations” for a ballroom? Because the marks don’t dare not to. He has the money now to seize control of their companies, and edge them out if they push back. Take everything from them. They’re nothing but his marks.
Call it what it is; A Shakedown. All those wealthy corporate elites and “friends” are on his hook like he’s some drug. He’s the monkey on their back and he’s dug in, his tail around their throats.
They were warned, but their greed and egos overruled their sense. Only when their lives are over, they’ll be free of his thievery.
Let’s make his fear come true!!!!!
Also Need to send message to the Supreme Court that looking the other way needs to stop. SC acts as if there are no limits on his power. They are as guilty as him for allowing unchecked power grab.

The scourt only handles 2 or 3% of the cases. Ask chatgpt as well for more information about politics.
A percentage number does not reflect the damage done to our democracy by those few decisions!
Yes, abortion was a real bell ringer, designed to put women in their place. Wonder what they would have ruled if it had to do with women voting or driving a car.

You have that pretty well pegged, Russ. Unfortunately, you're right.......(!)
When President Franklin D. Roosevelt died, the USA was in tears.
When Donald J. Trump dies, the USA will be in cheers.
The world will be cheering with you. Well maybe not Putin, Netanyahu, etc.
And what is Kushner doing being part of the 'Special Envoy'? Who does he represent?
Love it! It can't happen soon enough............

Absolutely, Daniel. Hope that somehow that will happen......

It continues to amaze me that we have one of the least popular polling presidents in history but republicans continue to treat him like he’s FDR
the dude is UNDERWATER in approval rating
EVERY approval rating too! HONKY MEN finally hate the obese Alzheimer's patient!!!
It would be great if Trump were forced to leave office earlier.
It's not gonna' live to see the mid-terms! It can BARELY speak coherantly and is nearly too feeble to walk. 😂

But Eric and Junior could be in jail.
All the minions will fall behind Djudas as well.
Doubtful. They worship ONE Messiah exclusively! Doju and Eric have ZERO charisma.

The message that the USA can be bought is indeed already ringing loud and clear outside that country.
