Supreme Court Abets Trump’s Defiance of Court Orders

[jrw]

Every morning I wake up trying to figure out what most enrages me.

St. Helena has too much civilization (although I’m sure it’s lovely). I vote for Ettu Island, the last island of the Aleutian chain. Pretty much inaccessible. Or some fortress in the remotest part of the United States.

Maybe Death Valley.
Otherwise, I don’t think there’s anyplace appropriate in the lower 48.

Yes, he did. And he was richly rewarded for it.

But that was Trump 1. I’m sure it was trashed on day one like everything else. When you burn the whole thing down, you have to toss your old trash in as well. Them’s the rules.

“Where did this ‘ceasefire’ touch you?”

Did it touch you and kiss you in the same way you keep touching those flags?

I thought it was bad when you all thought it was still good. I’m not talking about most of your fellow citizens. It’s your system of government and ancient constitution. It’s quite irrelevant in the 21st century. Neither were meant for a country as large as yours became. You are along way from 13 colonies.

Once again, I am in complete agreement with you. We are just barely riding on the rims now - and the constitution is woefully out of date and inadequate to our current reality, as are the Senate and the Supreme Court. This is not a simple remodel - it has to be torn down to the studs.

Tom Friedman in the New York Times endlessly wrote that we need “six more months” for total victory in Iraq.

Friedman’s a good salesman but a complete fucking fraud. A Bush, Jr butt boy with Israel first and America a distant second - no matter how much American blood is spilled.

I guess we will have to declare war on Sweden next. His minions have already started the “groundswell” of “popular demand” that he be awarded the Nobel.

First Greenland, then Sweden, then The World!

The plan is coming together.

Who could have guessed flinging shit at the wall is easier than cleaning it up.

Who thinks Bongino is cleaning shit off the walls? He’s on the inside now but he is still flinging shit at the walls.

@srfromgr

The corporate media is giving him kudos for calling a cease fire less than 24 hours after calling for bombing and telegraphing its coming.

And of course, there was no ceasefire except in Donny’s little demented brain. He tweeted it, therefore it exists? Nope. Neither Israel nor Iran (or even his own administration) was aware of his purported ceasefire.

The media is inexplicably repeating trump’s fantasies as reality.

A revolution almost always devours portions of its leadership. See China, Russia, France.

Had a momentary vision of the guillotine being brought back just for the despicable six Supreme Court justices. I am a bad person.

Heather Cox Richardson seems to be quite the follower of TPM and Josh! She keeps mentioning him in her substack. Illustrious company indeed @josh_m

“What they needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house from Basra to Baghdad, um, and basically saying: “Which part of this sentence don’t you understand? You don’t think, you know, we care about our open society; you think this bubble fantasy, we’re just gonna let it grow? Well. Suck. On. This.”

Poor Donnie. Who would have ever imagined that Bibi was a lying, cheating double crosser?? And he said such nice things about Donnie when they had their secret phone calls! There is no one in the world easier to con than a con man, Donnie. You should really know that by now.

A call-in in our local paper today:

“Is the Reporter-Herald going to report the news on heroic, historic event of Donald Trump knocking out the nuclear facilities in Iran? George Washington was the father of this country. Donald Trump very well could be characterized as the savior of this country.”

That’s what I’m thinking but I’m glad you said it.

On July 4th citizens can celebrate the loss of health insurance for millions, the loss of food assistance for millions, the ruination of the environment and renewable energy initiatives, and the wealthy getting wealthier. A grand 250th birthday!!

Kushner and Princess Ivanka absconded with the $2B and never looked back. They played their hand and scored bigly.

Trump believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

I can hear the laughter from the Nobel Committee from here.
