Showing Original Post only (View all)The McConnell / Trump SCOTUS, summed up in a succinct, brilliant and tragic paragraph. [View all]
Picturing the first gathering of the Trump-branded property known as "The Supreme Court," as Brett scowls and mutters "I like beer" and Amy patiently waits for the mother ship to call her home. Goodbye Roe V Wade, healthcare, and anything with the initials "LGBTQ" in it.

Call it what it already is: Donald Trump's Supreme Court, and it's as corrupt as he is, as cynical as he is, as outright stupid as he is, as racist as he is, as fascist as he is. The Republican Party killed it, and Trump is driving another nail in its coffin with the nomination of arch-conservative Catholic Amy Coney Barrett. RBG is gone, and look at who Barrett will join: Clarence Thomas? A clown. Samuel Alito? A rubber-stamp hack. Neil Gorsuch? A replacement bell-ringer for racism. Brett Kavanaugh? A weepy beer-swilling prep-monster. John Roberts? He wrote the brilliant line, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." Tell that to George Floyd, Johnny boy.

I wonder if Barrett will have to consult with her "head" before she makes a decision?

Yup - I think this is still a joke for him. Gets his jollies (and rubles from Putin) off our demise.
