“The message was, we could do terrible things to you, and nobody would be able to do anything about it. When it comes to justices at the supreme court, they make the laws, but the laws don’t apply to them.”
Conservative ideology in a nutshell. It's always been about controlling other people. Especially brown people. But also controlling the minds of the white people that prop up the grifters that perpetuate it.
Love this 💖 When you can give the finger because you have absalut power and there is nothing anyone can do about it . This will never corrupt absalutly 🤔
Is that House committee investigating the "weaponizing of government" still around? Maybe we should let them know about this.
Oh, that's right, it was Republican bullshit. Sorry, I've been having some memory issues lately.
Using his security detail to intimidate his neighbors is really incredibly evil considering that these nobs were complaining about people peacefully demonstrating in front of their homes and requesting Congress to increase their security budget.
You can’t get more privileged than them. No oversight, lifetime terms, final legal authority. They’re as close to gods as you get in America. Sadly, they’re deeply flawed and biased and have brought disrespect on their lofty selves.
Not me having a picture of John Malkovich from "In the Line of Fire" put on a flag over my house, then insisting I simply enjoy the subtlety and nuance of his performance in this film.
"It's just a /flag/, Martha. It doesn't /mean/ anything."
"We could do terrible things to you, and nobody would be able to do anything about it."
This works, because every asshole with small amounts of power already acts on this exact assumption, in this country.
They can live vicariously through these fascist leaders.
It’s infuriating. His refusal to recuse is a huge FU to all of us. It’s not like there aren’t other justices available to rule in those cases & if he has faith in the system, he shouldn’t have any problem w/ them ruling without him. The only reason for NOT recusing when asked is hubris or politics.
Have the details of this police report made it to the public? Could the Senate get a subpoena for the document? ".. the dispute continued for more than a month, culminating in the swearing incident in mid-February and a police report that the Badens filed right after."
They don't "make the laws". They just decide which ones are more likely to further their Fascist Agenda....and they could be stopped...if there was anyone in the government with the spine to challenge them. Otherwise, this Six Judge Fascist Junta will aid the RNP(REPUBLICAN NAZI PARTY) to victory.
