You left out the part about Martha-Ann spitting at this woman, hence being called a cunt when wouldn’t stop SPITTING AT HER DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC! (Which honestly I think might be assault.)

So do "crazy right wing" and "petty little shit" always go together? Seems like it.

When Scalia died at some ranch in Shafter, TX after quail hunting and everyone pronounced him dead due to natural causes - even though no autopsy was performed - I thought, "Wow, that's random. I didn't know that quail hunting was so dangerous." And now I'm gonna guess that Alito is gonna go in some similar weird way.

And here's my reason why... he's a loose cannon and a liability. He's costing Republicans elections. Even Thomas has had his wings clipped a little and is flying (sometimes) a little more moderately. But not Sammy!

He was taking a free vacation, from a person that had a an upcoming case in front of him. Also a 360 pound (at least) man, who was nearly 80, running around in the Texas heat to shoot birds in a canned hunt (meaning they were released from a container so they could blast them) it was not a surprise.

“[a] woman who appears to be wound so tight that you could wrap her in cowhide and use her for infield practice.”

👏

Nominating Gary for all future Wonkletics coverage. Eagerly anticipating his Olympics stories.

""The U.S. Department of Justice can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law.

The Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland can invoke two powerful textual authorities for this motion: the Constitution of the United States, specifically the due process clause, and the federal statute mandating judicial disqualification for questionable impartiality, 28 U.S.C. Section 455.""

I see that Piers Fucking Morgan called the Trump conviction a "...demeaning way to treat a former president.”

Trump deserves exactly as much respect as he showed the office of President, and the entire nation.

Piers is so far up Camilla's ass he qualifies officially as a "royal butt-plug".

Wait.

If they are so unbiased, why did a couple of "anti trump signs" upset them in the first pl;ace?

Because they've forgotten-if they ever knew-that we citizens have first amendment right to put up signs in our yards. First amendment shmirst amendment.

General Melchett: There is, however, one small problem.

Captain Blackadder: That everyone sees he is defiling the Constitution?

General Melchett: That's right. And Justice Alito is worried that this may be depressing the nation a tad. So, he's looking to find a way to cheer us up.

Captain Blackadder: Well, his resignation and suicide would seem the obvious suggestion.

General Melchett: Interesting thought. Make a note of it, Darling.

Don't the neighbors possess a powerful lawn mower that shoots out cut grass to the side? Doesn't their grass next to the parked car need mowing? Even though I loathe them, I'd say a leaf blower that makes a big ol' dust cloud should be fired up STAT and that street cleaned all around the security clown car. If it was our neighborhood I'd organize the local juvenile delinquents that live on the next block and get an old fashioned kickball tournament going in the street. Come on people think like an asshole and get to work!

I'm surprised no right winger has tried to say her last name is Biden, not Baden.

And this is one giant conspiracy

I mean, this article even said "Martha Biden's petunias," so I'm shocked, too.

Just who does Samuel Alito think he is, Roger Taney?

Great scott. Or should that be Dred Scott?

Ta, Gary. Sammy (what Elder Sister, of blessed memory, called him because they were in high school together) and Martha-Ann: Worst. Neighbors. Ever. Well, almost. Not quite as bad as the assholes who call SWAT on their neighbors, but maybe worse in the long run, since he's on SCOTUS.

If you're a Democrat and you want to put up a yard sign, it's best to attach a small American flag to it. That sometimes slows them down.
