In the next two years, what’s is the over/under estimate for how many times that Trimps administration will go before the SCOTUS (total, plaintiff or defense).
John Roberts will be busy. He helped create the monster. Roberts knew all along about Trump and his Russian (and Italian) mobster connections.
Now this criminal gang govt is purposely screwing up the economy, and the bond and equity markets don’t like the approaching storm.
And the World democracies watch in disbelief as we bend over to Putin.
Trump hates women. He also hates Blacks. And he hates prosecuters. Stacy Adams is a Black Woman prosecutor who indicted Trump for trying to steal the Georgia Presidential election. He hates her four ways from hell,
This is a well-researched 1300 word truth bomb on Substack that is refuting a 38 word lie made live on national television. The fact is the latter always wins. I don't know what to do about that, but I know we're not doing what it takes.
As it stands now, our major national outlets still air breathless "Did you see what he just did?" stories that don't even touch upon whether what he just did is even legal. We are very far away from not being totally fucked. Fascism is born in the womb of an uninformed electorate.
One wonders if Stacey could file a defamation ( civil ) suit against Trump for repeating this nonsense ( and include Ed Martin and Lee Zeldin in there for good measure ). I mean. does that special SCOTUS "immunity" for "official acts" apply to civil suits? Mebbe so....
BTW - has anyone seen that bit that Ed Martin has dropped his idea of prosecuting Chuck Schumer in his stupid "Operation Whirlwind", which he ballyhooed just a week or so ago. As we already knew, Martin didn't have a case to make, but he sure had a story to tell right wing media, didn't he? Does anyone think Fox, et al., will make sure this latest failure by a Trump appointee/nominee gets heard? I sincerely doubt it.
"but when has that ever stopped right-wing media from Benghazi-ing about a non-scandal for years and years"
Right wingnut media doesn't give a flying fuck as to whether something is scandalous or not, or if it's true or not, their raison d'être is entertaining the Rubes who gobble down Mooseballs Mussolini's, his trained attack Dachshunds' and rabid lapdogs' bovine scat like it is a prime filet. Oh, and to spread the Gospels of the RINOs to anyone with a low enough IQ to believe that shit.

Re: the trans mice - I read a story a few weeks ago that some high school English teacher in New England wanted to take their students on a field trip to Concord, MA to learn about Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Thoreau. When some of the parents heard that the kids were going to learn about the Transcendentalist Movement, they freaked out and snatched their kids out of class. You can't make this shit up.
My reading of the teacher's post is that this really happened and she marked it as "Humor" because "If I didn't laugh, I'd cry". I knew there were MAGAs in Massachusetts, but I'm kinda surprised to find out there might be some in Concord of all places. You know, birthplace of the American Revolution and all. I don't think there are many in my town (Arlington) because some kids at my grandson's elementary school were making fun of Trump and nobody reprimanded them.
Possible. I think it is one of those boogieman operators. "If yes=No". That or he was dropped on his head lots as a child. And perhaps while in his military academy.... and when he owed the mob money.....
"White House Issues Head-Scratcher Of A Defense For Trump’s ‘Transgender Mice’ Claim
The White House issued a press release in defense of one of Trump’s more eyebrow-raising remarks during last night’s speech: that the federal government had spent $8 million on “making mice transgender.”
“This is real,” Trump said without further explanation.
The $8 million figure was supposedly reached by adding up the cost of six separate studies involving mice. The first study aimed to evaluate how gender-affirming care may impact the efficacy of an HIV vaccine. The second sought insights on how testosterone affects reproductive function in transgender men. A third focused on breast cancer risk among transgender men. A fourth looked at how the gut microbiome could be interacting with hormone therapy. The fifth sought to better understand female sex hormones and reproductive function in transgender men, and the sixth sought to better understand asthma in all people, including trans folks.
So no, the researchers were not “making mice transgender” for the fun of it, but to help build knowledge about human beings.
The White House trashed “the Fake News losers at CNN” for a mistaken attempt to fact-check Trump’s claim last night, as the network speculated that he was referring to a study involving hormone therapy on monkeys. According to the White House, “President Trump was right (as usual)."" {HuffPost Updates}
You would think that if you WANTED to be anti-trans and believed with all your heart that there's no such thing as gender dysmorphia, you would welcome actual scientific research that, supposedly, would prove your case. But no......
Not enough media and not enough ordinary citizens DEMAND THAT HE PROVE WHAT HE IS SAYING IS TRUE.
CHALLENGE THE *PROVEN* LIAR.
I understand the #BrokeTimes and the #BrokePost and their issues we have to fix in another draft, but I do not understand the issues everyone else seems to be having doing that
The issues are that holding President Klan Robe accountable doesn't get you clout and clicks. And we all see it, President Klan Robe gets easily post-turtled by a SINGLE follow-up question. (Kaitlan Collins seems to do this the most for some reason). All you need is one follow-up question and he loses the plot and wild out.
But they choose not to do this for two reasons:
1. They're access-driven gossip columnists. This is one of the reasons for the big hate-on for Biden's competently run administration, because people were too busy doing their goddamn jobs to supply palace intrigue for their shitty rags. Without the gossip they are made redundant. And we can tell how effective Biden was because as much as Democrats love throwing one another under the bus? There hasn't been a SINGLE tell-all book detailing palace intrigue. Nobody has been hiding nasty details about Biden (or Kamala Harris) to put into a book.
2. Murc's Law is Cruise Control for Cool (and Clicks). You only get the clicks and sustained attention by nitpicking Dems. We all remember that weeks-long freakout of these people crawling up Kamala Harris' ass about her working at McDonalds as a kid in the 1980s? That was how good this woman was, they had to manufacture controversy and make it look like she's wrong. There is no way a McDonalds from the 1980s would still have staff records, even if the franchisee were even still in operation. And hell I've worked jobs where I honestly couldn't tell you what year I worked there and who my supervisor was, and I'm only 45!
3. President Klan Robe's fuckery gets clicks and ratings. They're intellectually bankrupt. They all nitpicked Biden and then Harris to death because they wanted the clicks and ratings. It means profit for them even though the rest of us get the chop. And what they do just makes it easy for the next pricktator to come along.
Three of the most repugnant spawns of Satan to foul the earth.

Ta, Dok. I wish I could make them all keep The Amazing Stacey Abrams's name out of their filthy, lying mouths.

Could Trump's brain be rewired so that every lie would automatically be converted to truth?
Possible. I think it is one of those boogieman operators. "If yes=No". That or he was dropped on his head lots as a child. And perhaps while in his military academy.... and when he owed the mob money.....
Probably not. There's only two or three wires in there and I don't think they connect to anything at either end.
If we cut the red wire, will that defuse him?
