Don't you just love it when the people who should be on our side, people we need to help defeat the Beast, allow themselves to be defeated in advance by silly fucking cases of the collwobbles. So what if the right wing noise machine and their ever-helpful me-toos in the MSM will raise a stink? That is what they ALWAYS do, go all out to denounce ANY efforts, however obviously lawful, to deny the death of democracy. Hell, what have they been doing the last few months but disseminating fact-free bulls shit to try to nobble Joe? We cannot allow the tender fee-fees of the RWNJs to govern our fight, after all, isn't it they who coined the phrase "FUCK your feelings"? Right back atcha, fascists.
It's a mock battle from the Revolutionary War where the Redcoat commander keeps scolding the Rebel side for not respecting the rules (while his whole contingent is wiped out).
Is there an amicus brief out there that provides a new meaning for the phrase "avoid the appearance of impropriety" because Thomas got appearance all over him?
Thomas only seems to report his billionaire buddies' "hospitality" after it hits the news. Makes you wonder how many millions more he's grifted that he has yet to report.
I wonder if Garland had the temperament for the job. He seems risk- adverse to the point of paralysis. Or more afraid of the criminals than the complainants.
I like her more and more. If she were a Republican, the MSM would label her a "firebrand". My curiosity about what they do call her does not extend to actually dipping a toe in that cesspool.
It's not a bribe if it happens AFTER the fact, and it is totally legal and totally cool if the president does it. It might be a no-no for SCOTUS, but without 60 Senators, it might as well be A-OK.
Feels like 2016 was the endgame, everything else is just the slow stroll to fascism.
Yep. As much as people want to expand the court or hold justices accountable for 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, it's just not going to happen without significant Dem majorities in Congress.
“Inevitably it would be seen as political retribution for rulings the justices made that they don’t like,” he said. “I just don’t know how you get out of that box.”
so we can never have any kind of investigations again, no matter what the cause. OK then, i guess.
The times gets more public consternation here because it’s nominally the “”””””””liberal””””””” paper and has spent multiple election cycles trying to destroy the Democratic candidate because, to Quote noted theologian Christopher Moltisanti, “little lord fuckpants” Sulzberger got his fee fees hurt
But it bears repeating the Washington Post is just as bad. I’ve been on the teetering fence for a long time and this finally got me to quit today
It’s a chuck Lane Special: simultaneously equally trolling and equally stupid.
The media discourse in this country just makes me want to bash my head in
1. No he doesn’t deserve his reputation back fuck you
2. Just the sheer amount of group think among the incestuous talking head chattering class. There genuinely aren’t any consistent voices willing to say “hey dummies think more than 48 hours in the past you dummies”
Thomas is low-hanging fruit. There needs to be an ethics requirement with at least as much teeth as for the lower courts. But yes, Thomas (and Alito, and Roberts) needs to go.
“I just don’t know how you get out of that box.” By doing your job.

sorry I don't do faceplant, so I couldn't see it.

Ta, Dok.

"and you got to keep the helicopter too."
Thank you Dok for my most spontaneous bark of a laugh for the day.

Senate Dems Want Special Prosecutor To Investigate Clarence Thomas 'Gifts'... Ooooops! Forgot the "r".
Meanwhile, in the House…

I want her as President, but Fox has been defaming her since day-one, and the right wing of the Dems don't like her much.
but still she persists. she knows Fox's racist shitbags will never like anything she says or does, so why bother trying to placate the implacable?
We should all profit by her example. The Fascists have hoisted the black flag, and we must either defeat them or be trodden into the dirt.
DOOOO EEEEEET!!!

Damn, we need to bring back that poop emoji!
We also need to be able to combine it with the angry emoji for ANGRY POOP.
When Ma Thomas said she had a gifted son, I don't think this is what she meant.
