We are firmly, irrevocably in George Orwell country now. First Citizen Trump orders the truly despicable … but who orders Trump? Delusional, yes; but also deluded too, I think. I’ll shut up now—South Sudan beckons.

Every day it's a new horror. And people are still buying into this regime's shit??

HOW is it that he has this level of support?

Michael's avatar

He doesn't need support other than five justices and he's got six. These are dark times

My country, 'tis of thee / Past land of liberty / Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died / Land of the pilgrims' pride,

We've fallen from the mountainside / No Freedom rings.

My native country, thee / Past Land of noble free/ Thy name forgone

I love thy rocks and rills / Thy woods and templed hills

My heart sinks low as oil spills / Our Land spoiled and drawn

Once music swelled the breeze /And rang from all the trees / Sweet freedom's song;

No more shall tongues awake / No more shall all partake

Thy rocks from which the silence breaks / The sound so long

Our fathers' gift to thee / Was sweet liberty / Of thee we sing

Bring back our land from blight / With freedom's holy light

Protect us from the dark of night / Let Freedom ring.

Samuel Francis Smith would be heartbroken by our Country's fall from grace.

Onyx (she/they)'s avatar

Honestly I would much rather have her as president than him. Seriously though I’d much rather have a female president men mess things up so badly

Gee, is Hillary a Nazi? I had no idea. No difference between Hillary and trump, especially with trump's installment of three Catholic fascists to the corrupt court.

Betsy Brazy's avatar

To clarify, it seems to me that you agree with each other — Hillary is preferable as president over Trump.

Onyx (she/they)'s avatar

I didn’t say that all I said is I would much rather have her as president than him oh and look who’s fascist, he is not her but you wouldn’t know that I hope one day you get a dose of your reality

i think the confusion is that your comment says you “wouldn’t” much rather have hillary, which means you don’t really prefer hillary. Typo?

Shocking just how corrupt and cowardly the Roberts’s kangaroo court continues to reveal themselves (the GQP 6) to be.

Not sure how the country recover from this. They continue to make a mockery of the rule of law. . .

I appreciate Kagan speaking on the record. She could have simply stayed silent. But she explained herself. It makes it even more clear that without more six justices went along, even if none wanted to put their name to the opinion, including the shot at the "provocative" dissent.

And Pam Bondi! Let daddy decide - and I’m sure SCOTUS will agree - but daddy’s inhumanity and illegality will go unexamined.

Virginia Kelly's avatar

So the law is law only if the current president says it is? or doesn’t say it isn’t?

As a not-legally-trained person, I am more confused than ever….

Roberts and his Shadow Docket justices have blood on their hands!

For a refresher and in case people missed this, all of this has been known by people carefully watching the space and the main players in the current admin - Donald Trump / Elon Musk / Peter Thiel / JD Vance / Stephen Miller / Vladimir Putin - even before the Jan 20 date. That’s how fascism operates, all of the plans were out in the public domain, for everyone else to ignore it blissfully until it’s too late and the men in uniform and with rifles are out in the streets:

This is fascism. Next stop is Tech Fascism. I present you the Network State:

People like Dave Troy, Jim Stewartson or Gil Duran have been warning of this exact scenario for years. We ignore their warnings at our own peril.

I maintained previously that once those eight men were flown out of the US, they were history, DESPITE what seemed earlier to be a granting of "due process", allowing at least by remote hookup, legal representation and district-court overseeing the proceedings. Well, once the business of "stuck in Djibouti" was signaled, and NO attempt by the government to "expedite" — LOL! — hearings, the die was cast and the deportees were toast. This decision also augurs poorly for prohibiting any future deportations to brutal "third-country" destinations.

Give up on the Supremes, they have allowed the regime to : flout lower-court orders;stalled and dissembled on responses; and generally defied the Constitution by just doing what they intended to do, regardless of any possible censure. The Court let tRump bluff them cos — in tRump's favorite saying — "they don't have the cards"— nor balls either, it seems.

This country will never be free again, there is now way they will ever give up power willingly.

Michael's avatar

Monet- I hate to consider it but perhaps you're right. Dark times

Noorillah's avatar

I feel a grief so heavy that no tears will come.

If "everyone" is happier with TikTok around...why don't they repeal the darn thing? Make Dems vote against it. Get to say, as an R Congressperson, that you voted for it.

I am sick about our country's demise on the world front.
