HARRISBURG, Pa.

In the end, they’re just going to sue America, and ask the Supreme Court to invalidate it as unconstitutional.

It’s stunning to think of the scope of what that lawsuit sought to do, and what they are willing to lose in order to get this “win”.

So how many more lawsuits get filed today? 3? 5? It appears to be Groundhog Day in PA…seemingly every day I read about a dismissed suit from the Keystone state.

It does shed a new light on that smarmy question he asks of Black voters: “what do you have to lose?”

“Deep State judges.” “Corrupt court.” Just a couple of things I heard from the rot on the right when the decision was announced last night.

Dunno the last time I heard any of the supreme courts dismiss a lawsuit with prejudice… Maybe they need to start sanctioning and disbarring the lawyers who are willing to run with these jokes of cases.

Them flags aren’t properly illuminated for flying at night, and some look awfully close to touching the ground.

We really need to understand what led 70+ million people to sacrifice their capacity for rational thinking on the altar of psychopathic narcissism.

Donald Trump put the “id” in “idiot.”. He can set off broken bullshit detectors in five words or less. Kim Jong Un looks at him and wonders how he gets away with it.

What is wrong with these people?

I look upon it as a public service, sort of like a “Beware of Dog” sign, or a warning that a piece of property is a toxic waste site.

An article in the most recent NYRB agrees with you…

The dominant power in the land, the undead Republican Party, has made majority rule aberrant, a notion that transgresses the new norms it has created. From the perspective of this system, it is Biden, and his criminal voters, who are the deviant ones. This is the irony: Trump, the purest of political opportunists, driven only by his own instincts and interests, has entrenched an anti-democratic culture that, unless it is uprooted, will thrive in the long term. It is there in his court appointments, in his creation of a solid minority of at least 45 percent animated by resentment and revenge, but above all in his unabashed demonstration of the relatively unbounded possibilities of an American autocracy. As a devout Catholic, Joe Biden believes in the afterlife. But he needs to confront an afterlife that is not in the next world but in this one—the long posterity of Donald Trump.
