Alito went to Fox Snooze and ... wait for it... lied.


?t=2rKnKQhH0ZjGlCSGv8O23A&s=19

Justice Alito says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."

Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses:

Snip

Fox reporter:

I spoke directly with Justice #Alito about the flag story in the NYT. In addition to what's in the story, he told me a neighbor on their street had a "F--- Trump" sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21. Mrs. Alito brought this up with the neighbor.

End snips.

Alito and Thomas must be resign.

between neighbors! Why, just the other day, my neighbor's dog pooped on our lawn. Upide-down flag! NOT!
Actually, I went over and gave my neighbor a pooper-scooper that I still had from our last dog! But then, I'm not a Supreme Court Justice.

I've seen plenty of F.. Biden signs, as has Mrs Alito, and I never thought to turn my flag upside down when a simple middle finger would suffice.
The Alitos were not in dire peril.

I find it doubtful that anyone in Alito's 'neighborhood' would be flying a fuck trump sign.

Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to remove them. My only hope is that they age quickly and end up taking themselves off the court.
This is one more reason why we need Biden back in the Oval Office next year, and hold onto the Senate.

We also need to take back the House so we can get some real work done in Congress.
