Originally published at: The Supreme Court Let Trump Do Pretty Much Everything He Wanted — Except Mess with the Money - TPM – Talking Points Memo
You wouldn’t know it from the right’s ongoing social media tantrum, but the Supreme Court turned in another slate of decisions this term that gave Republicans nearly everything they wanted. The upholding of birthright citizenship — the cause of much of the angst — was less a defeat for the right and more a revelation that…
It’s money that matters.
PFFT… SAY WHAT? TRUMP has raked in over 2 Billion in Term 2… IF that’s not messing with money I don’t know what is.
Even the Supreme Court knows you don’t give the keys to vault to someone who bankrupted 5 casinos.

SCROTUS…body unclear, is it a complete sentence?
Trump has more power than a king and is essentially a dictator because Congress under the MAGA cult has surrendered its authority. The Supreme Court has enabled massive lawless with the immunity decision and stripped away hundreds of laws pass by Congress to protect formerly independent agencies.
What does this all mean? It means the U.S. is a corrupted semi democracy. The courts won’t stop the Trump regime. The only protection are the November and later the 2028 contests.
The Congress would need to be unusually aggressive after this Fall’s election (assuming the Trump regime doesn’t steal it). No more timidity. No more pretending things are normal. No more treating Trump and his criminal regime as anything other than lawless thieves who need to be stopped at all costs.
Are Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries up to this task?

I started three different replies but figured none were adding to the conversation. Thought it best to hold my tounge.
