Who knew that this conservative WOMAN would have integrity. Not surprised that Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Beer Boy voted to starve women and children in foreign lands.
Nobody is threatening Roberts. They’re pissed because she’s a WOMAN! I read a comment somewhere that this is further proof that women should never be allowed to attend law school much less become a Supreme Court justice. 🤦♀️😡
The IRONY of MAGA Trump sycophants calling ANYONE else a "Commie" is unbelievable. Musk/Trump/Vance are traitors to democracy and have thrown our friends and allies under the bus while Ukranians shed their blood on the battlefield in defense of freedom against the murderous Putin.
"We must do what they fear - tell the truth, spread the truth This is the most powerful weapon against this regime of liars, thieves and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon, so make use of it." - Alexei Navalny (from prison before being killed by Putin)
"Modus operandi" of the crooks? Yeah; it's been said that Freddy Deady Daddy was like /this/ with the New York Mob, helping him out with his real estate. It wouldn't make me bat an eye that he introduced his li'l tax write-off ("For cryin' out loud, Donnie, I don't care how much you could score with Asian chicks; I'm not risking you in Vietnam. Tell 'em you have bone spurs.") to them.
That's my Senator...one of them, anyway. The other is Ron Wyden and one of our congresspeople is Val Hoyle. All Dems and all on the side of Democracy. I doubt they care much for Mump, who is now trying to make making fun of him or criticizing him a crime. Aya! Say...I am currently watching The Great Dictator. Dated, but very funny, in a pointed way. I am imagining a national watch-in, where everyone watches this movie and spends the day ignoring the modern clown playing him in the White House. Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
I'm going to write a thank you note to Amy B. for actually doing her job. If I can find her office's phone number, I'll even make a call. (And I hate making calls! LOL) Thank you, GOD! Thank you, Jesus!
Doesn't MAGA know that Putin is a 'commy'--Russia is a communist country? We have fought wars and thousands have died in the US's trying to suppress communism.
I know--i looked it up after i sent the post. But, like you, it seems communist to me and it was throughout my years until after the Soviet collapse. It has been a way to get people around me to maybe think--wasn't it always the 'Red Menace' or some such? Don't know if it's working, but it does give them a pause--throws them off a bit--and maybe it helps--maybe puts a clink in their thinking
"Commie" is just a buzz word, a "dog-whistle" for the MAGA cultists. To claim that Justice Barret is a "Commie" is totally ludicrous. They have no shame.
Hnh, and here I always pronounced it "Cone-y," since "Coney" sounding like "Commie" would, I thought, have to be spelled "Connie" but names don't always follow language rules. /shrug
Either way, good for her! Never thought I'd heard myself saying that... :-/
Putin was KGB, as was his father before him. The Soviet-style life is all he knows and, like Mump, he is trying to turn the clock back to the 'good old days' when he knew the rules and they could be enforced with impunity. Except their 'golden age' memories are themselves lies, told from very narrow and privileged points of view.
The problem is that with every international economic loss Musk suffers, he resolves to hurt Americans more. He is in a position to do that and there's a lot of wealth here for him to steal. Basically we have zero protection from him, and he's going to do everything he can to fully enslave us economically, forever.
If Elon loses all his money, he loses all his power. Trump will just see him as a has-been and throw him out. His only value to Trump is directly proportional to his wallet size. If Musk can't pay to primary any of the Congressman who step out of line, he loses his usefulness. So this is actually a very good thing. I hope the world continues to bankrupt Musk. He deserves it.
Justice Barrett is a mother to 7 kids. My guess is that when one of her kids makes a bad decision, they are held accountable and told/expected to make things right.
Even the thought that she would hold two powerful guys accountable is too much for the Maga minions. These guys HATE accountability because it looks like their MOM
I bet they start to apply more pressure to her after this. I'm waiting for the next decision before I judge her.
The agencies are soooo screwed up already. I don't know it some will ever recover even if they try to undo the damage they have done. Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen! Ramen!
This is rich. On top of everything else, the Royal Mumpette Destructo - er, Efficiency - Department has now decided that the ways in which we calculate the GDP, unemployment numbers and everything to do with our economics have to be tossed out and MumpMath is to determine not only those, but how much of the lying 'information and data' we the people will be allowed to know. By the way, I believe that this includes all infrastructure info, such as bridges that need replacing or repair. In other words, if your bridge is obviously unsound and a danger to life and limb, you might not be allowed to know that. If the cost of the repairs or replacement are deemed by the High Holy Elon to be too expensive, you will be told that the bridge is safe and the people who died trying to cross it never existed to begin with, or some such stupidity. And who gets to make the decisions, since he will 'have the power' and be in complete control of all such matters. I don't know about you, but I certainly feel bet...hap...safer. Never knew I was such a liar. We need to keep up and increase the pressure on these 'people.' It is working. Although we may not be able to save Social Security and Medicare. I hope that I am wrong there, since I am a member of the roughly 71 million folk whose lives will be destroyed if they succeed. We need to remember that they can win only if we the people allow it. Oh, a joke my ever lovin' just told me - what borders stupidity? Canada and Mexico.

Actually, I am not surprised that the only conservative woman on the bench might find her conscience and her courage.
I am, considering her religious upbringing but happy nonetheless

Ha, if ANYONE is a "Commie" it's PUTIN'S MANCHURIAN Candidate who is attempting to destroy our democracy!
The IRONY of MAGA Trump sycophants calling ANYONE else a "Commie" is unbelievable. Musk/Trump/Vance are traitors to democracy and have thrown our friends and allies under the bus while Ukranians shed their blood on the battlefield in defense of freedom against the murderous Putin.

But of course, PROJECTION is the MO for Trump and his MAGA cultists.

Weird how all of this is obvious to actual humans, huh?
Sometimes I wonder if anyone else sees what I see, but I feel comfortable here because I know many feel EXACTLY how I feel!
Thank YOU Senator Merkley for finally ASKING THE QUESTION!!👇
I hope this is the equivalent of "Have you no decency?" That brought down McCarthy!

It’s pretty clear that none of the “administration” has any decency whatsoever.
That's my Senator...one of them, anyway. The other is Ron Wyden and one of our congresspeople is Val Hoyle. All Dems and all on the side of Democracy. I doubt they care much for Mump, who is now trying to make making fun of him or criticizing him a crime. Aya! Say...I am currently watching The Great Dictator.

Thank you for suggesting The Great Dictator. It's on YouTube and, yes, you are correct--we should have a national watch-in. We could become inspired
This whole thing has made my anxiety reach level 1000. Your posts here and THC are the only things to lower it a little. Thank you.
Haha! Right there with ya!
Donold wants to be king for life. So far he’s risen as high as a Royal Pain in the Ass.
I'm going to write a thank you note to Amy B. for actually doing her job. If I can find her office's phone number, I'll even make a call. (And I hate making calls! LOL) Thank you, GOD! Thank you, Jesus!
Let me know (the phone number) ... I want to thank her too! :)
Doesn't MAGA know that Putin is a 'commy'--Russia is a communist country? We have fought wars and thousands have died in the US's trying to suppress communism.
They’re a democratic federal-Republic. Not a communist state anymore since the early 90’s but it seems like it’s communist to me.
I know--i looked it up after i sent the post. But, like you, it seems communist to me and it was throughout my years until after the Soviet collapse.

Anne,
"Commie" is just a buzz word, a "dog-whistle" for the MAGA cultists. To claim that Justice Barret is a "Commie" is totally ludicrous. They have no shame.
it's just a play on "Coney." Pick a word that is bad and sounds like Coney, and voilà, it's "Commie!"
Hnh, and here I always pronounced it "Cone-y," since "Coney" sounding like "Commie" would, I thought, have to be spelled "Connie" but names don't always follow language rules. /shrug
Either way, good for her! Never thought I'd heard myself saying that... :-/
Yeah, those who toss Commie around for funsies aren't that literate -- it is Cone-ee, but don't let that stop them!
Putin was KGB, as was his father before him. The Soviet-style life is all he knows and, like Mump, he is trying to turn the clock back to the 'good old days' when he knew the rules and they could be enforced with impunity.

All those Red Menaces getting together. And red used to be my favorite color.
Nah, not just red any more; oligarchy is way more flexible than Communism (and therefore, more effective). :-/
THIS!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Let this be a lesson to those who take favors from Trump.
The problem is that with every international economic loss Musk suffers, he resolves to hurt Americans more. He is in a position to do that and there's a lot of wealth here for him to steal. Basically we have zero protection from him, and he's going to do everything he can to fully enslave us economically, forever.
Agreed. Power hungry and angry.
If Elon loses all his money, he loses all his power. Trump will just see him as a has-been and throw him out. His only value to Trump is directly proportional to his wallet size. If Musk can't pay to primary any of the Congressman who step out of line, he loses his usefulness. So this is actually a very good thing. I hope the world continues to bankrupt Musk. He deserves it.
We must keep the pressure on. Every day more citizens are seeing the light! Don’t let up!!!!
Justice Barrett is a mother to 7 kids. My guess is that when one of her kids makes a bad decision, they are held accountable and told/expected to make things right.
Even the thought that she would hold two powerful guys accountable is too much for the Maga minions. These guys HATE accountability because it looks like their MOM
Heh! THAT explains it! Always wondered... ;-)
I bet they start to apply more pressure to her after this. I'm waiting for the next decision before I judge her.

Question: Does rich asshole bribing UPenn for dumb son qualify as DEI?
Isn't it rich to see these people want to wreck the life, harm the person of their properly placed pro-life princess?

Thanks for keeping it eeal God and energizing us to resist this tyrrany!
Hmmm, trad wife Barrett is starting to rebel... I'm sure she'll fall back in line soon, though, sadly.
She’s hardly a tradwife if working, and on the supreme court, no less. I always thought she might have a touch more integrity than the men.
