The idea behind the SC being lifetime appointments was to insulate it from political pressure, unlike the president and Congress which are suceptible to removal. The SC is (supposed to be) a rather apolitical body that determines if the laws passed are unconstitutional, in order to preserve basic rights.

Right now, it’s rife with partisan hacks, and it need to be removed and rebuilt from the ground up. Absolutely none of the current Republican justices meet the qualifications nor strength of character to be SC jucsticies.

Supreme court justices are appointed for life.

Knowing you aren’t smart makes you smarter than all the people who think they are smart but actually aren’t.

Own a modern firearm to shoot fascists foot soldiers, as the founding fathers intended…

10 years? I’m pretty sure 10 months is 50/50 odds at this point…

I have insight to a company that does automotive loans, and the number of people getting offers for 30% APR 84 month 0-down loans (and accepting them) is way too fucking high.

People can’t really afford cars. The US government considers domestic car production so important, that we are practically banned from buying “better” cheaper cars made in China. The auto manufacturers know this and are absolutely chowing down in the captive market. The working class is going to lose reliable transportation, at the same time companies (and the government) are pushing to end Work-from-home options, and there is basically 0 public transportation in the US.

So a lot of people aren’t going to be able to afford the systemically artificially inflated cars to get to their arbitrarily in-office jobs and they can’t reasonably take the systemically hobbled/non-existent bus or train.

Oh, did I mention that we’ve pissed off and mistreated and deported all of the migrant labor that made fresh food widely available and cheap in the US? Oh, and we also emptied critical agricultural water reserves in a smooth-brain attempt to fight a fire 200 miles away. Don’t forget, global shipping and fuel prices are fucked because of a war we decided to start to distract from the fact that the president is practically in the Epstein files more than Epstein himself? So come summer, we’re going to have no food because we have no water and no labor, and importing food is going to be even more expensive? And that’s before the capricious 100%+ tarrifs the president is slapping on everything via a fucking tweet.

Come on… I don’t think I could fuck up running a county this bad if I was actively trying.

I wish it was fucking rare, but they’ve been doing this shit at least 2 or 3 times a year for my entire lifetime.

No no no. What you are seeing is a would-be assassin, who was selected because he very closely resembled Epstein. Upon entering the cell, Epstein strangled the guy, and then made his escape. Currently he’s on the ISS building his trafficking empire for aliens after human adrenochrome.

Ah, that’s far to much thinking for those types.

Gonna play dipshit’s advocate here for a minute and say that canceling funding for Scouts based on DEI is pretty low-key evil compared to their perception that Kamala was personally flying planes over to Palestine and dropping nuclear cluster agent-orange munitions on the women and children there.

Credible violent threats specifically.

It’s mostly made up of people who were unable to afford college or healthcare when they turned 18.

Keep in mind, before trump, the Republican standard was a guy who lied about another country having chemical weapons and harboring a terrorist to drag us into a war for the benefit of his oil-baron buddies and to make his daddy proud.

I mean, even a security theater as incompetent as the TSA would catch this kind of thing. The White House security would probably know about it before the medal even made it in the same building as trump.

That might be a little like “not using the fire extinguisher until the fire has spread into the living room.”

Too little, too late. Trump is talking about suspendeding the midterms. Might be time to show some guns.

Airport security would detect that. Radio-isotope poisoning is a favorite of the Russians, I’m sure the White house has multiple layers of detection set up for exactly that kind of thing.

I’m sure trump is going to call for the mid-terms elections to be cancelled. We’ll still have them, but it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.

If the elections go south for Republicans, I fully expect Mike Johnson to play games with allowing Democrats to be sworn in and seated in Congress. We really need to be preparing for both of these scenarios.

Somebody here got the whitewashed version of American history in school…

Sure sure, but he’ll definitely pay me this time because my company is different. All those other guys were just incapable of doing the job right.

Yeah, we’re in a mid-season plot stretch to see if this administration can “weekend at Bernie’s” a vapid blathering demential patient for another year so that JD Vance can get 2.5 terms as president.

It’s all going exactly as everyone with 2+ braincells predicted.
