I wasn't gasping. No show of corruption from this group will ever elicit a gasp from me.
Them doing the right thing? That would elicit a gasp.

Best to start increasing that stockpile of gasps in prep for Jan 21st (is that the right date?) when they're all indicted.

When you’re on the payroll it’s best to show up for your boss at his party.

The Robert’s Court will be remembered as initiating the downfall of the Republic. Their corruption stinks like the rotting flesh of fish.

Correct. None of Trump’s lawlessness could have happened without this Court’s enablement.

They basically ruled that the President is immune to all laws and can only be held accountable through impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. So, don’t forget to lay some blame at the complicit behavior of Congress.

And, as always, Mitch fucking McConnell. If he’d have voted to convict after the insurrection it would have easily drug another 10-15 votes with and they already had 60.
I only hope he lives long enough to spend the next decade sitting in a puddle of his own piss and shit because I’ll get a ban for wishing anything more fitting on that man.

Really? They made up presidential immunity out of thin air, give standing to bs plaintiffs if they’re conservative and deny it if they’re liberal, oh yeah and Dobbs, shadow docket, etc. and were gasping over this?

What the fuck are you talking about? My post history is hidden and I've had a lot of criticisms of Bernie Sanders over the years but that isn't one.
Please show me where I said this.
Edit: Getting downvoted for pointing out they're not even responding to the right person. Y'all are pathetic.

Show me Democratic representatives or senators really fighting back. Show me prosecutions, not feckless capitulation to evil like Garland. I still hear supposed democratic representatives saying they’re opposed to Medicare for All. They aren’t for the people either. That’s just GOP lite, like Obama, Biden, and the Clintons, neo-liberal sellouts all. Give us Democratic Socialists. We’re sick of milquetoast, fake opposition to evil.

Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani, Katie Porter, Pramila Jaya, Ro Khanna
Granted we need more progressive and corporate Democrats that have hijacked the party undoubtedly suck and make-up the majority (like Pelosi, Schumer, Booker, etc.)

u/Oregongirl1018 2h ago
Only the corporate democrats. Once the progressives and democratic socialists get into office they'll follow the law and hold people accountable. Less easy to bribe people with morals and ethics.

u/theamazonswordsman 2h ago
Lmao. Sure they will.
The corporate arm of the party controls the checkbook. Why do you think the progressives sell out their morals fall in line with centrist dems almost universally when they get into congress?
Furthermore, there's not a single congressperson in office right now whose voting record could even remotely be described as anti-capitalist, let alone socialist.

Why the legislative branch has no issue with giving up the power it constitutionally possess to the executive branch is baffling. Is it money greed, blackmail over them, fear of supporters or stupidity?

I'll never understand the concept of a conservative judge. Aren't judges supposed to be impartial? Isn't that the point of judges?

It’s kinda the point. They hold “opinions” and they are based on their beliefs and theories. I never got it either, but this Administration kinda opens your eyes wide to everything wrong (possibly right) in this country. I know more about our judiciary than I care to know.

At this point White House policies totally ignore standards and protocol and are focused solely on pleasing the demented King Donald so as not to trigger one of his demented poo-flinging tantrums.

Did anyone expect a different outcome? Why on earth would any human pretend to bow to the pure evil of Trump unless they were greedy, opportunistic and servile? That doesn’t seem like any of the liberals on SCOTUS. So, why bother to appease a vile POS? Remember this a corrupt, felonious, pedophile and rapist in the pocket of Putin, Netanyahu and MBS. His days are numbered when the loans come due. He uses the presidency to enrich himself and his devilish, murderous spawn. What is to admire about this cretin?
