One thing is certain. Every ruling this Extreme Court makes is going to be highly suspect and likely bought and paid for by a billionaire. Until its overhauled this court cannot be trusted to make honest rulings predicated on existing laws. They twist the law like pretzels to fit their schemes.

capitolhunters: To everyone appalled by NYT's July 4 op-ed "Why I don't vote. And maybe you shouldn't either", note that 1) author Matthew Walther DID vote in both 2020 and 2022, and 2) he's an extremist Catholic graduate of Hillsdale College, part of the religious-right faction behind Jan 6. lol💀

Hello, 911! I just witnessed a murder.

The fact that Trump was considered the ‘winner’ for lying solidly for 90 minutes & not being fact-checked once by multimillionaire CNN pundits & then the entire MSM spent a week piling on Joe Biden’s age shows you how much Donald Trump has already remade this country, like it or not. -Noel Casler

Gov. Gavin Newsom Last night I had the opportunity to talk to the President for an hour. I mean this with absolute conviction: That was the Joe Biden I remember from 2 weeks ago, 2 years ago. That's the Joe Biden that I'm looking forward to re-electing President of the United States."

Roberts et al knew EXACTLY what they were doing - gutting and re-writing the Constitution. The 6 are crooked but why would they go THAT far? B/c they know Trump is guilty AF (they're partisan & corrupt not stupid). They knew if trials proceeded Trump & enablers were finished. And GOP was too.

Congratulations on being the next jury that will decide Trump's guilt or innocence. Given that none of Trump's other cases will be tried before Nov. We The People are the final jury standing between Trump & dictatorship. On Nov. 5 we WILL vote guilty! www.threads.net/@glennkirsch...

Biden is old. Trump wants to implement his Project 2025, which would ban abortion nationwide, go after birth control, abolish the Department of Education, gut voting rights, separate families, construct mass detention camps for immigrants, and arm teachers. Take your pick. -Brian Tyler Cohen

What crap. The Post falls over itself to praise fascists. She voted for some of the most heinous decisions in the history of the Court. But let's do a puff piece on "her own path." -Jeff Jarvis

So now he walks too fast? 🙄🙄

Biden is old. He's going to keep getting older. Trump is old AND batshit crazy. He's going to keep getting older and crazier. Vote accordingly. Vote Blue!

When the history of this miserable era of American politics is finally written, I hope entire chapters are dedicated to the Republicans who failed to convict him in the Senate after January 6th. In so many ways we’re living in the world they made. -David French

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or simply sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Donald Trump wants to stoke so much fear and hatred that people forget this. Do not. -Robert Reich
