Barrett is the last best hope of reason. She is miles smarter than the male Trump appointees and lightyears beyond Alito. Roberts may see an alignment with her going forward as the salvation of his reputation.
You can read her work like I have or take my word for it. Look at her record over the past tumultuous year. Would I take her over KBJ? Never. Do I see Barrett as different from the Boys Club? Absolutely.
One completely apropos(yeah i used a fancime enwordination 🤪) punishment in hell when V.P.U.S.S.A.Y JDV and Speaker of Little³ Mike Johnson, S, would be to have them watch themselves behind Orange Jesus acting like .. .

Trump spent two hours praising himself, vilifying everybody who doesn't stand in line to kiss his ass and worse, outlining in detail his plans for future criminal activity. The Republicans cheered him on and assured him they would be willing accomplices.
Both Trump and Musk have a long history of welching on debts Both have been taken to court for not paying people too many times to count. is it any surprise that these two deadbeats want to apply their most excellent business practices to running the US economy.
"As a result, the Government must apparently pay the $2 billion posthaste—not because the law requires it, but simply because a District Judge so ordered."
Um, Sorry Alitito... but the SCOTUS affirmed it. That means the decision wasn't just "...simply because a [d]istrict [j]udge so ordered."
Every morning, I wake up and go find the DH (he gets up before me because I am a vampire) and say, 'Is he dead yet?' When the answer is 'No', I brush my teeth and get dressed.
lost almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid, leaving the money vulnerable to being co-opted by whoever might gain access now that no one was there guarding the henhouse.
I live in the Netherlands and in the Dutch press they mentioned that they had already invested about 1,5 milion euro's in joined projects with USaid for water and energy conversation in countries like Algeria, and Iraq.
The money had not been spend however and is still in limbo on a US-bankaccount. Dutch media said the problem was that they didn't know who to call to get the money back, since so many people where fired. I had no idea they where even planning to just keep the money...
(Anyway; not paying people in these countries for their work is a lot worse. The Netherlands is a rich country that will hardly miss a million euro's, but I do find it interesting that the US is willing to jeopardize it's reputation like this, if only from a pragmatic point of view. Financial institutions will notice if you refuse to pay any of your debts: that might result in higher interest rates for loans to the us government.)
"Today’s case was pay the money you owe for the work you already got, motherfryers."
Anecdotally pertaining to Mooseballs Mussolini's usual inclination to not pay what is owed. I spent my entire working life in the marketing of high-end construction products. During the 1980s, I had more contractors and friends forced to close their doors because the Fulvous Fuckwad unilaterally decided that the agreed upon contracts were too costly upon "further review." He flat out said that if these people wanted the monies due them then take him to court. (That's where he learned and perfected the beauty of filing immaterial and worthless briefs and motions in order to delay... delay... delay.) In the end, my friends and clients were left with two alternatives: file for bankruptcy or drop the case since the legal fees were rapidly approaching the amount due.
The Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster *never* pays full price for anything if there is any possibility to lie, cheat, or steal to save him a little coinage.

"Then Rubio fired Nicholas Enrich, the acting assistant administrator for Global Health at USAID for blowing the whistle on the massive amount of disease and death that cutting the funding will cause"
Let's look back to the early days of COVID. The "massive amount of disease and death" doesn't exist if you don't count them all, or even look for an accurate number:
> "The president and the vice president of the United States are seeking to assure the public that the coronavirus pandemic has passed its peak in the country despite continuing alarm among many health officials.
“We’re at a low mark,” Trump told reporters in the Cabinet Room on Monday afternoon.
"Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?"
Isn't it nice to know that Alito's hypocrisy is boundless? A federal court judge lacks jurisdiction to make the Mango Malignancy pay programs that Congress already authorized, but a federal court judge does have the jurisdiction to prevent any other court from holding the Sandstone Snowflake to account for illegal activities (the J6 autogolpe and keeping documents in violation of the Presidential Records Act as examples) like Aileen Cannon, or the RINOs judge-shopping for a MAGA-friendly judge to block legislation with which the assholes don't agree:
> "A federal judge in Texas has issued a nationwide injunction blocking the enforcement of an anti-money laundering law that requires corporate entities to disclose to the U.S. Treasury Department the identities of their real beneficial owners.
"‘Aren’t you promoting a constitutional crisis?’ And my response is no — I’m recognizing a constitutional crisis. If the elected president says, ‘I get to control the staff of my own government,’ and the Supreme Court steps in and says, ‘You’re not allowed to do that’ — like, that is the constitutional crisis."
Wow, just wow. I have two questions for the Hillbilly:
1 Would he defend a Dem administration demanding that they "get to control the staff of [their] own government" while firing federal employees willy-nilly (including those tasked with protecting American security)?
2 Isn't the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus defying federal laws by shitcanning these bureaucrats with no legitimate reason the one who is actually creating a constitutional crisis?

It's weird looking forward to so many obituaries.

Just another day in Hell.
Me, NOT AT ALL a morning person walking into work this morning:
Me: **burning the world down with my facial expression**
Front desk security guard: "GOOD MORNING!!!!" **with his outside voice**
Me: **wanting to punch the fucker in the throat because HOW VERY DARE YOU, SIR!** "Oh? Did Trump die last night?
Mouthbreathing Front Desk Security Guard: Uh.... No.
lost almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid, leaving the money vulnerable to being co-opted by whoever might gain access now that no one was there guarding the henhouse.
....In totally unrelated news, Elon musk got 8 billion dollar richer, right?
Four assholes believe we shouldn't pay contractors for services rendered, sounds like Turnip alright!
Fuck Alito
And the horse he rode in on!
And his fucking wife too.
Vergogna.
Absolutely.

If you keep money that isn't yours, isn't that a crime? Aren't crimes impeachable?? Just asking.
Perhaps if Sir could make it clear that 'THE MONEY IS MINE!!!!!!' things could quickly resume their downward spiral!
Does he really need to declare it for the downward spiral to continue?
Just to, you know, firmly attach Sir’s name to it…
Ta, Marcie. I like it when my country pays its bills.
Did not read the article because fuckit'. Alito can eat a big bag of dicks.
I thought you said you didn't read the article.

"Checks and balances, like it says in the Constitution, is what’s supposed to be going on, you nonce."
Pretty sure you meant 'nitwit'?
"nonce" means child molester, and as far as we "know" Vancey is specifically only a couch-nonce...
It's almost like 4 members of SCOTUS don't mind starving children.
Delete the “almost” and you’re on to something.
