I don’t like kicking people when they’re down, but I’m reminded of the McConnell Era.

Give Trump some credit. He has figured out that he can make billions by selling literally nothing. He was right when he called crypto a scam, and once he figured this out he wanted in.

Can’t change vile shit!!!

Several ways forward here given the choice of Roberts/Barrett to nullify the 14th Amendment and extra-constitutionally replace it with their own language: 1) Nullification. States issue birth certificates, and they can just stop issuing them to non-citizens. Roberts/Barrett can deal with the fallout and litigate each birth individually. 2) Pack the court. If Robert wants to be a politician who writes laws instead of a judge, then he can fight with 10 more unelected legislators in robes. 3) Deny entry to all pregnant foreigners. 4) Deny entry to all female foreigners. 5) Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry. 6) Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation. 7) Amend the Constitution. This is pointless, because once a judge decides he can rewrite the Constitution at will (as Roberts and Barrett did today), the actual text is meaningless. But this is what most GOP politicians gravitate towards because they are useless. If you think all these options are not great, understand that that is what happens when unelected judges decide that they are in charge of the country and get to write its laws.

Trump Pocketed $2 Billion from the Presidency Last Year
Is there even a word for this?
The NYT has a word: it “defies a long-held tradition.” Ok, five words. You see, it is not traditional for the President of the United States to be grossly, openly, brazenly corrupt. You might call (I’m waiting for the NYT to do it) Trump an “innovator” in this regard.

So, maybe that admiring , “getta guy who’ll run the country like a business” trope can finally be drawn, quartered, burned at the stake and interred with bin Laden?

It should be noted every time Tina Peters is reported on that that the people she enabled to steal the voting machine data actually did steal it, and they came up with fuck-all nothing.

I gotta hope that, ‘Beholden to business,’ is an astroturfed cultural artifact that (“Please, Jesus!”) can be undone.
Down that road lies ruin.
