The right wing activist Supreme Court justices will of course make a ruling that while not officially giving Trump immunity will make damn sure the trials don't happen before the November election because it is the most corrupt and immoral SCOTUS in American history.
We need to seek whatever measures we can use to balance the court again. Expand the court, limit justice tenure to 12 to 20 yr. term, create a non-partisan judicial review board, whatever it will take, but we must put in place whatever we can to ensure that the court is safe.
I don't know where you find these tee shirts, but I am going to "break the bank" in buying all of them! Don't think I will wear this one in front of any southern "good old boys," but my friends here will love it.
Impeachment has been discussed, and I'm sure the bar is high but AOC encouraged it after Roe fell. We have to take back the House, increase our margin in the Senate, and by such numbers that the Republikkkans can't overthrow it!
I like the idea of periodically reaffirming the justices' tenure, as they do in some states. Also, an enforceable code of ethics would work too, and then it wouldn't matter so much what their terms were.
The best action any of us can take is to work our arses off for President Biden to win reelection by the biggest landslide ever, in both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Specifically, work against voter suppression and work to get out the vote in the swing states. Visualize a Biden landslide so huge that when Donald starts to whine that we cheated, his own children will laugh in his face. Now get out and work for it!
A MAGA vote protects the rights of child rapists and molesters. A underage girl will be forced to bear the rapists baby under a Trump dictatorship. The fact that the GOP death cult party receives even one vote is a very sad situation for humaity.
Most social media has tweaked their algorithms to chill political discourse this year. Try putting it on donny's third-rate page, "truth social". ;-) I say quite a bit on Twitter but here is really the only place that I feel truly safe.
If we didn’t have useless Merrick Garland perhaps something could be done. If I had his job the first thing I would have done was conduct a real investigation into Brett Kavanaugh. He would be gone. It makes me sick how he is a de facto Republican with how he acts - or doesn’t act.
I so agree Thank you Abigail. My contribution disappeared, edited it carefully, to be sure it wasn’t in anyway inflammatory, just honest about ‘supreme’ court’s decisions, not so wise decisions in many of our opinions, and why, what results. You are more succinct, thank you.
Sorry to be so chatty today - Let's all remember that 1) Trump publicly supported/colluded with/met with Putin (one-on one, Trump & Putin) alone in a room. Where they talking about U.S. state secret's, Vlad's support of Don's building in Gorky Park, or what movie to see when they have a weekend date?; 2) Don publicly supported/colluded with/sent love-letters to/ Jong-un. Prior to the love-letter exchange Jong-un was aware of the torture, coma, and eventual death of an American student. Trump was also aware, did nothing, and continued to support Jong-un; and 3) Trump also supported members of the Saudi Regime in spite of the connection & awareness of the murder & dismemberment of an American citizen/NY Times reporter. Trump defended the regime & did nothing.
Yet there's not a peep in the media about Trump's interview with Pulitzer prize winner, Bob Woodward, where he admitted to lying about covid and killing THOUSANDS of men, women and children in the US. WHY? This is BIGGER than January 6th, the purposeful murder of American citizens by their PRESIDENT. He admitted it was more deadly and contagious than he said it was, he called it a killer. He said he knew it was very contagious to children, but he worried about the economy and his ratings more than their lives. WHY? Where is the justice for the 1 MILLION plus, dead American's and their families? Why aren't there lawsuits galore, suing that lying murderer?
Yup he is the worlds biggest a-hole , liar, con man, crook the world has ever known but try and tell that to his Conned followers . They think that he can do wonders for the people. Joe is doing it all for the people . This shows that Trump in trash and a heathen , a bad person for society ! Worse than Al Capone or any of the mafia monsters . The imterables should be convinced
How many maggots died from injecting bleech?? How many lives were saved by shining ultra violet lites up their butts??? How many deplorables will drink the Orange coolaid laced with live ending levels of Ivermectin when accordian hands tells them?
Trump has said that: he's 1) above the law; 2) a stable genius; 3) not guilty; 4) the actual winner of the 2020 election - all false. We can go back to our initial shock of seeing Trump as the Republican candidate for President despite his 50 years of cons/scams/thefts, disloyalty, epic deadbeat status, sleaze, cheats, lies/fake claims, indecency, and more.. There hasn't been such a damaged & flawed human being (with possible alarming personality disorders/mental health issues in our nation's history. And more and more people are normalizing it all, even with the dead weight of the wrongful Republican position on abortion bans..
Joe has not helped the cause with his open borders, the unsustainable billions needed to enrich the migrants, and the horror show of allowing unvaxxed/unvetted possible disease carriers, criminals, enemy agents into the United States. The Democratic left has seized the party and has allowed the dumbing down of education in public schools/an automatic graduation of no show students/removal of gifted programs/teaching to the lowest common denominator/more interest in the school's standing than in educating the students/alarming stance on blocking parents from knowing their children's gender identity and if teachers are responsible/the new indoctrination of university students over education,.....There's the problem of unfairly putting the load of student debt forgiveness on taxpayers (a significant number of didn't take the money and either didn't go to college, sacrificed to do so, or went later in life when the impact on one's career was negligible. And, finally, Joe's enforcement of allowing the female gender to be diminished by men who declare a gender change (whether they go through any alterations at all or not). In 2024, it is impossible to remove a male's muscle mass,/markers/increased strength & endurance/testosterone, etc., therefore creating an unfair advantage. Every single trans "athlete" was a male who didn't do so well competing against other males, but when switching sides, that male (who retained the look, height, and physique of a male) wins handily over all females - it is an outrage......Still, the best choice is to support Joe Biden. We can be assured that we will not lose our freedoms due to an aspiring despotic dictator nor will we have a President who has shown himself to be a malevolent predator for multiple decades.
As a New Yorker by birth and for almost my entire adult life when I recently moved to Bethesda, Md., I still have hope that our voting citizens will realize that Trump is not one of our country's assets. Why did he declare Florida his home state when since birth he was a New Yorker? My guess is because New Yorkers could spot a sheister (I am guessing on the spelling) a mile away!
Sorry dear, Don didn't open the borders. Joe did. Don didn't grant taxpayer money to those who took money for school, - willingly - and now need a bail out by those who didn't go to college, went to school in their 50s when it didn't help their career, etc.
While e we're at it. The breaking news just announced is that gov't will pay for trans care. Before that debacle should occur, the gov't should pick up the tab for better care for vets who defended our country. The half-a-century of reports about the lack of care/mental health aid hasn't improved. The taxpayer money should not go to the tens of thousands of unvaxed/unvetted migrants. The money should go to U.S. citizen/green card holders who are homeless. The money should go to the infra-structure nationwide that's rotting/falling apart. The money should go to this country and theose who were born here/legally here prior to the blanket permission of allowing anyone in...from Mars to the moon and back again.
No, but he or others can insinuate that since presidents have immunity as claimed by tfg, he is overturning the Dodds decision, fire & jail the six corrupt SCOTUS judges & replace them with like-minded ones & throw tfg in to prison.
The Reps. have normalized deceit, corruption, and criminal behaviors and have the belief if they ceaselessly repeat a claim it will become embedded in reality. In our nation's history, we have never had presidential immunity. Just became Trump claims he's a stable genius, above the law, has immunity, won in 2020, and cured cancer doesn't mean he ever stated the truth in his predatory, malevolent, grifting, deadbeat, disloyal, indecent, sleazy life.
No much we can say that will change Trump. He thinks he is God and some stupid followers think he is one . Trash on trash is all I can say but this is not enough!
tRump is a thug with organized crime connections. Orange would not pull the trigger, but one of his Maga morons would gladly shoot to kill for the Depends Despot.
Justice Jackson brought this up in court yesterday. But it got ignored. It didn't fit into the manspreading, Conservative male justices' narratives and agenda.
That's huge. All the former presidents having immunity. The right wingers on the court could never tolerate giving Clinton and Obama immunity. That may be the only reason they refuse Trump's immunity case.
No, we need to make sure President Biden wins reelection by the biggest landslide in history, in both the popular vote AND the Electoral College. The bigger the landslide, the stronger the message to the world that we are DONE with this evil.
Then they need to consider the fact that they would soon be out of a job because Trump with full immunity would never tolerate any of them telling him no.
Yes. I believe as an authoritarian leader, he himself would be the "Supreme Court." And what's more, if he had "absolute immunity," I guess he could basically just shoot them if they made a peep (and just call them traitors —or vermin!).
I'm wondering why there is no he'll raising going on considering all we're subjected to. Have we become passive observers? Did we get injected with something in the covid vaccine that made us half asleep? There should be demonstrations outside the Supreme Court demanding they act lawfully re. Trump. I'm old otherwise I'd raise he'll there.
I’ve written several times to the members of SCOTUS, and several political and judicial officials. Also called the president, been on a joint call, I’m doing what I can to help make government work for ‘we the People’ Tracy. Having worked with government agencies, it’s important for all of us to share our thoughts!
Murder is not the answer even it sounds good If the SCOTUS are crooks. There is bias in all
beings so that you are. A dead beat who is biased will vote Trump because of his star attraction and wealth while the truth of it is he is Trash and a heathen ! My motto is
It's ridiculous for GD SCOTUS to even consider this. What are they doing? Are they trying to figure out how they can make it somehow apply to only Trump?
Absolute Immunity? OrangeMan could wipe out Democrats and progressives en masse. After all, he considers them "vermin." He has absolutely no business in our politics.
It does. And, if so, and I were asked to make up the hit list, I'd start with Kavenaugh (the blackout drunk), Gorsuch, Barrett and Thomas (with Thomas, I'd recommend he and his wife be stuck together, just as they have been) - of course, they wouldn't have to admit anything then.
Yup, but Biden wouldn't stoop that low and I seriously doubt that he could live with himself if he did. Biden has a conscience and he's not afraid of competition either unlike his predecessor with the fragile ego.
Yes, as was already stated in this discussion, if SCOTUS rules that Trump can kill his rivals on the basis that the kills were "official acts of office", then Biden can have Seal Team Six waiting for Trump the moment he leaves the courtroom. Absurd on its face, and I'm astonished that SCOTUS is spending this much time on it.
#1 on Mary’s List IS the Obvious Blaring, Glaring, Red Alert That This Nation HAS Already Crossed THE LINE: SCOTUS Finds A Former President Can Assassinate His Rivals. Read that, absorb what you read. For That, is the result of the Ruling of the Not Supreme Court.” Let that Sickening, Vomit, Inducing, Immoral, Evil, Rot register in body, mind, and soul. Correct, the individuals on that “court” clearly, who voted Aye, a majority, have lost their humanity, their souls have vanished. They have been corrupted. “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” They Have been allowed to get away with Corrupt Power. They’re “Supreme Judges”. They understand the guy, and those that support the former guy, and those who support him. And “get” those who want An Absolute Dictator in the Oval Office. One “djt” a transactional guy, who’s proved how much he loves a deal. He’s their guy.
Time to grieve for a once, great, nation, and experiment in democracy and freedom of government, for and by the people. If We the people continued to be responsible & vigilant to keep her safe. How now, will You People get her back, she’s been Kidnapped, from You by her own Former Guy and Hot Corrupted Bench “sitter- Thieves??
Biden or any future POTUS could order the annihilation of all MAGAts...every single MAGAt politician, every single MAGAt Justice, every single MAGAt person...calling the order an "official act" because it's to save/preserve democracy. I doubt THAT's what the SCOTUS is after, but we'll see.
But Donnie in a position of power is likely to claim a rival is a threat to democracy and try to assassinate his rival and Biden isn't likely to try to claim a rival is a threat who needs to be killed or even jailed or punished in any way.
I think all of the "conservative" justices are corrupt. And Gorsuch and Barrett are in stolen seats. The chief justice is the least obviously corrupt, but that doesn't mean much. I hate the idea that they will slow walk their decision so the J6 trial won't happen before the election. Today's supreme court goes against everything I was ever taught to believe about them. It is all sickening.
Well if they keep it up in just a very short time we will be able to say "what democracy" or maybe "we had a democracy in this country once." There are five Catholic scumbags on the Supreme Court right now who are working under the thumb of the Catholic Bishops of America and the Rich and Famous to ingrandize themselves. There are sick bunch of fascists running our legal system into the ground. They need to be removed.
The civics class I remember taught critical thinking even if it upset your idea of history It told the truth and taught how to look at social issues in a new light
Not to push a book in this comment section but has everyone read the scheme by senator Sheldon Whitehouse? It really tells us a lot about what's going on up there in the Supreme Court and why we need to get rid of it in its current form.
No problem with turning us on to a good book. I'm sure that anything the senator writes is worth reading. I've checked it out and I'm not sure I can read it, at least right now, because the court has me terribly upset, and I need a respite from reading difficult books. I did put it on my Amazon wish list.
I can't get my head around Trump's lawyers arguing that POTUS could accept a bribe, while Jamie Comer wants to impeach Biden for "accepting a bribe" - which of course didn't happen. Mind blown at the hypocrisy!!
Either way you look at it, Trump is beyond horrible: it's either barrages of the most unconscionable lies; or he is ACTUALLY DELUSIONAL along with having an unstoppable mouth.
It’s all about little man child. What happen to poor me must happen to the next Pres. read Mary book. How her family raised the most Dangerous man. Bottom line his dad pit his sons against each other Donny had to be the one on top. It’s Sad and Pathetic. Mary father never had a chance.
Unfortunately, Nana, it's NOT only about tfg. It's about those many, many angry un/undereducated people who are also armed and totally believe in tfg's persecution and their "righteous" anger. President Biden needs to be very cautious and strategic as to how he chooses to approach every situation, foreign and domestic. As for the over-militarized right wingers, they have gone "underground." Not visible, but still amongst us. What are they planning? I sure hope that there are eyes on these guys in disguise! We are on the precipice as a democracy.
Love that idea except brown. Oh poor little Corrupt MCCONNELL WOULD CRY. HE NEEDS TO END HIS SEAT HOWEVER THE CORRUPT F$&Ker DOES IT. THAT MAN WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IN EARLY 80s BY TOBACCO CO. HE A SICK HUMAN.
From my perspective in Australia…how the USA …has politically appointed Supreme Court Judges…the highest in the land….please….USA is noticeably strongly racist…sorry …. rest my case
Truth be told, I really would like to kick Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and--especially--Alito in their miserable privates! I am appalled at their rampant corruption and ridiculous arguments about this trial setting a bad precedent for future courts. I don't know how Sotomayer, Kagan and Jackson can abide daily contact with these deficient human beans. Just wait until The Orange Menance loses bigly in November and they will have to live in ignominy. Can't wait!
I never thought "The Manchurian Candidate" (1960's version) would become reality. When is DJT going to be called out on abusing the judicial system? It's like the Supreme Court is his personal Muni court.
Thx Cathleen for these recommendations. I need to look at these books. It is a nightmare! When I see Ginni Thomas, I just see the Angela Lansbury character in this classic movie as well as the theme of attainment of power at any cost.
You're welcome. One of my favs "The 480," was written by poli sci prof at uc berkeley, Eugene Burdick. (Died way too young at age 45.) 1964. Great novel. About a computer picking the perfect presidential candidate after the Kennedy assasscination. May be tough to find, but I'll look up the name of a used book seller and send that to you.
Now he has been named "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Arizona election fraud case. The depth of his criminality may take decades to uncover.
I have seen how the American people have always suffered when a Republican was in the White House. Those states run by Republicans are in the lowest ranks of earnings and education.
"The Donald" shows what can happen when one goes beyond a decent or comfortable living. The quest for more money and more power is intoxicating but ultimately fatal.
So much of our government has been poisoned by him. Poisoned by greed. Poisoned by evil.
One day there will be no Donald Trump. But there may be someone just as bad. We are the ones who have to fight to preserve Democracy.
The ground was made fertile by many before tfg. Eisenhower ignitiated the "National Prayer Breakfast." Altered the "Pledge..." by inserting the words "Under God." Had all US paper and coinage carry the words "In God We Trust." CIA and State Department heads, the Dulles brothers. He also "probably" had a mistress, his personal secretary during WWII by many accounts, but never divorced Maime. Things just got worse after Nixon, whose vice presidency under Eisenhower also needs to be acknowledged and recognized as a HUGE blunder, especially after the manner in which Nixon won his 1947 Ca House of Rep seat from a WOMAN. (It's ALL in our history. Easy to research.)
Then Kennedy. Johnson. (All of us probably are aware of those two Demo presidents.) Then here comes recycled Nixon again! Angrier and more corrupt than ever. (Recommend Oliver Stone's "Nixon," an insightful emotional biography of this complicated human.) A Ford, R, pardon after the FIRST EVER RESIGNATION of a US President. (Seems only #45, also an R "trumps" THAT first!) Jimmy Carter, D. Inc. one term, loses to Reagan after a "questionable" release of American hostages from Iran. And high inflation, many would argue due to the frivilous and wasteful expense of a war in Vietnam. Reagan, handsome, glib, corrupt. Groomed by the best $$$ the Republicans had to offer. Many of the very same, very wealthy individuals who catapulted him into California's governor's office "practiced" here first. Social Security Federal Income Tax. Iran-Contra. Grenada. Union busting (air traffic controllers. Still feeling those after effects.) FCC regs shredded. So many other regs, protecting the people from profits, at any cost assaulted. "Greed is good." More. Bush I. (Former CIA Chief and Reagan vp) More RepubliCON shenanigans. One term. Out of touch with so much. Hard to fathom RAN the CIA! Then Clinton, D. Who could NEVER keep his pants zipped. (Ask anyone in "high society" Little Rock.) Surrendered to R, by many historians' opinions, to guarantee a second term. Dogged by Kevin Starr, R "special prosecuter," over Whitewater, a "nothing burger." But caught with his fly unzipped once more. National disgrace. A liar by his own admission. Bush II, out to out-do his dad. (Recommend Oliver Stone's "W" as a peek into this "Christian.") "No drama Obama." (Golly, are we ever makng up for that?!) Harassed continuously by loser racists. Family constantly threatened. MAJOR disrepect by #45. President Biden now at the helm. Some of us still smarting at HIS handling of the Clarence Thomas hearings. Biden was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee which "questioned" Thomas before full Senate finally endorsed him as a Supreme Court Justice. (I still believe Prof. Anita Hill. There were other women who volunteered to testify, but were disallowed by Biden's committee.) Isn't OUR history fascinating!? So here we are: Somewhere between ALL our history and our communal future, the hope of a just and fair one. VOTE! None are perfect, but, come on, some are truly and bigly FLAWED!
You have filled me in on some parts of our history that I didn't know. Thank you for that. I hate to admit that I was persuaded to vote R for a few years, by the people I was around, but I'm grateful that when I got married all that changed, my eyes were truly opened. Biden may not be perfect, but he's majorly better than tfg. Nobody is perfect, but at least some have some ability to change.
Religion has always been used to force cognitive dissonance throughout life so that people can be coerced against their own and/or the common interest. It’s one of the core tools of the power/money hungry to accrue their power & wealth from the masses. Great examples cited from the past 75 years, Kay. Why are the vast majority people so blind and ignorant of how this happening in plain sight. Are we, as a species, that closely related to sheep?
Are Trump claims of presidential immunity only for him or is Biden free to do whatever he wants. Become King Biden? Send in Seal Team 6 to assassinate his opponent? It’s so ridiculous. The Supreme Court shouldn’t have even taken it up, but we have federalists on this Supreme Court who want to go out on their yachts and private jets and must please those who put them on the Supreme Court.
As I commented already…the highest powerful court in your land…is politically appointed….absolutely incredible …plus the hidden power of church hierarchy in some states beggars belief…..the election interference in states not favourable to the incumbent …moving polling booths … wow…🤬🤬
Mind blowing to our court systems and voting….1. Voting compulsory here….2…three layers of government…local,state and federal…. all have separate elections ….they are mandated to the terms….some 4 yrs some 3yrs……the High Court of Australia …..are appointed by the Governor General…etc..check it out on wikepedia/google etc…
I certainly am proud to be an Aussie when I read the complexity and troubles in your country…racism appears a major problem still …??
MARY - JUST ONE MORE BOMBSHELL THAT I THINK YOUR READERS SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF - THE FACT THAT TWO WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS (SARAH SANDERS & HOPE HICKS) BOTH DISCUSSED THE NEED TO EXTEND THE HUSH MONEY DEAL WITH KAREN MCDOUGAL
this would not be a surprise,considering the fact ,trump had a "dinner" ,specifically for mr pecker at the whitehouse,and they had more discussions regarding ms mcdougal and ms daniels..hope hicks is scheduled to be a witness for the prosecution in the near future..
I grew up with the greatest respect, admiration and above all trust in the Court. But like so much else from my childhood, this has now vanished for parts unknown.
I think the New York case is important because like the national enquirer people love this kind of soap opera drama and trump is not projecting that he’s any kind of great guy. He projects an unappealing ugliness. He could lose a lot of votes. He’s the bad guy in this story, and definitely not the strongman that he imagines he is. The judge controls him.
Even though I always cringe at the thought of what becomes of our country, I very much appreciate your easy to comprehend posts about what happens during the trial, Mary! Thank you!
Not one person uttered a word about the Republican block of the Democratic SCOTUS pick that Pres. Obama chose. The reason for the block was invalid & should have been ignored & lawfully ousted. Then came Trump - the con/scammer/thief, sleaqe - most indecent human being ever to run for U.S. President....and look at the TOTAL corruption of the Republican Party today.
The conservative-reactionary Justices have only one goal in mind: to come up with some new test of the difference between official and unofficial acts so they can return the case to the district court for determinations of which bowl Trump's actions fall into. That will require hearings, rulings and of course Trump appeals. The net result is sufficient delay to prevent any trial in the interference case before Judge Chutkan before the election. A major win for Trump though the hard work of his ward healers on the Supreme Court who are always looking for a favor to do for Donald. I found today's oral argument to be the most disgusting one I have ever heard since the Justices were only looking for a way to derail Trump's coup trial. But wouldn't it be delicious if Biden wins re-election and Democrats win control of House and Senate, get rid of the obnoxious filibuster and then pass a statute to increase the Supreme Court to Thirteen Justices so that truth, justice and the American Way can once again prevail.
So if SCOTUS finds Donnie can assassinate his rivals, that means Biden can too?
The right wing activist Supreme Court justices will of course make a ruling that while not officially giving Trump immunity will make damn sure the trials don't happen before the November election because it is the most corrupt and immoral SCOTUS in American history.
We need to seek whatever measures we can use to balance the court again. Expand the court, limit justice tenure to 12 to 20 yr. term, create a non-partisan judicial review board, whatever it will take, but we must put in place whatever we can to ensure that the court is safe.
Imagine wearing this in front of extremists 👇

I don't know where you find these tee shirts, but I am going to "break the bank" in buying all of them! Don't think I will wear this one in front of any southern "good old boys," but my friends here will love it.

They'd still have to get rid of the corrupt judges, either way. They simply represent too much of that which shouldn't be on any court.
Difficult to change a biased mind . At the decision time bias will win’
They can be recalled. There is a precedent
...f the Dems have a stomach for it, and we have enough of a majority in both houses.
I think the bar will be set too high to remove any of them. We may not like their decisions but so far they have not ruled egregiously.
What???????
Impeachment has been discussed, and I'm sure the bar is high but AOC encouraged it after Roe fell. We have to take back the House, increase our margin in the Senate, and by such numbers that the Republikkkans can't overthrow it!
We have work to do!
It's becoming apparent that's time to chisel Supreme Court off the building and just put " Trump's heritage foundation court" on it instead.
Maybe, it's time to start election of SCOTUS judges?
Today brought home the meaning of CIRCUMLOQUIOUS . 😲🙄😞😡🤬💯
Term limits is the only way. 6 years and you are OUT! that's enough time for them to make their shady $ and destroy our rights.
I like the idea of periodically reaffirming the justices' tenure, as they do in some states. Also, an enforceable code of ethics would work too, and then it wouldn't matter so much what their terms were.
I despair for the future of the USA..
Channel despair into action. Do not give the Narcissist in Thief one thimble of your energy
The best action any of us can take is to work our arses off for President Biden to win reelection by the biggest landslide ever, in both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Specifically, work against voter suppression and work to get out the vote in the swing states. Visualize a Biden landslide so huge that when Donald starts to whine that we cheated, his own children will laugh in his face. Now get out and work for it!
A MAGA vote protects the rights of child rapists and molesters. A underage girl will be forced to bear the rapists baby under a Trump dictatorship. The fact that the GOP death cult party receives even one vote is a very sad situation for humaity.
I tried to post that sentiment on Yahoo, but I was blocked by Yahoo. I didn't know the company was able to censor the anti-Trump users.
Most social media has tweaked their algorithms to chill political discourse this year. Try putting it on donny's third-rate page, "truth social". ;-) I say quite a bit on Twitter but here is really the only place that I feel truly safe.

Biden is not a murderer whereas the Orange monster could be.
Sorry to be so chatty today - Let's all remember that 1) Trump publicly supported/colluded with/met with Putin (one-on one, Trump & Putin) alone in a room. Where they talking about U.S. state secret's, Vlad's support of Don's building in Gorky Park, or what movie to see when they have a weekend date?; 2) Don publicly supported/colluded with/sent love-letters to/ Jong-un.

Not Chatty, these are things I know but have put aside in my brain. I will copy your comment into my notes for referral in the future. Thanks!

The Democratic left has seized the party and has allowed the dumbing down of education in public schools/an automatic graduation of no show students/removal of gifted programs/teaching to the lowest common denominator/more interest in the school's standing than in educating the students/alarming stance on blocking parents from knowing their children's gender identity and if teachers are responsible/the new indoctrination of university students over education,.....There's the problem of unfairly putting the load of student debt forgiveness on taxpayers (a significant number of didn't take the money and either didn't go to college, sacrificed to do so, or went later in life when the impact on one's career was negligible. And, finally, Joe's enforcement of allowing the female gender to be diminished by men who declare a gender change (whether they go through any alterations at all or not). In 2024, it is impossible to remove a male's muscle mass,/markers/increased strength & endurance/testosterone, etc., therefore creating an unfair advantage. Every single trans "athlete" was a male who didn't do so well competing against other males, but when switching sides, that male (who retained the look, height, and physique of a male) wins handily over all females - it is an outrage......Still, the best choice is to support Joe Biden. We can be assured that we will not lose our freedoms due to an aspiring despotic dictator nor will we have a President who has shown himself to be a malevolent predator for multiple decades.
As a New Yorker by birth and for almost my entire adult life when I recently moved to Bethesda, Md., I still have hope that our voting citizens will realize that Trump is not one of our country's assets. Why did he declare Florida his home state when since birth he was a New Yorker? My guess is because New Yorkers could spot a sheister (I am guessing on the spelling) a mile away!
Wow. Common sense in the beginning and the end, and a whole bunch of BULL SNOT all through the middle of this post full of propaganda.
Sorry dear, Don didn't open the borders. Joe did. Don didn't grant taxpayer money to those who took money for school, - willingly - and now need a bail out by those who didn't go to college, went to school in their 50s when it didn't help their career, etc.
While e we're at it. The breaking news just announced is that gov't will pay for trans care. Before that debacle should occur, the gov't should pick up the tab for better care for vets who defended our country. The half-a-century of reports about the lack of care/mental health aid hasn't improved. The taxpayer money should not go to the tens of thousands of unvaxed/unvetted migrants. The money should go to U.S. citizen/green card holders who are homeless. The money should go to the infra-structure nationwide that's rotting/falling apart. The money should go to this country and theose who were born here/legally here prior to the blanket permission of allowing anyone in...from Mars to the moon and back again.
No joke!!!
No, but he or others can insinuate that since presidents have immunity as claimed by tfg, he is overturning the Dodds decision, fire & jail the six corrupt SCOTUS judges & replace them with like-minded ones & throw tfg in to prison.
The Reps. have normalized deceit, corruption, and criminal behaviors and have the belief if they ceaselessly repeat a claim it will become embedded in reality. In our nation's history, we have never had presidential immunity. Just became Trump claims he's a stable genius, above the law, has immunity, won in 2020, and cured cancer doesn't mean he ever stated the truth in his predatory, malevolent, grifting, deadbeat, disloyal, indecent, sleazy life.
No much we can say that will change Trump. He thinks he is God and some stupid followers think he is one . Trash on trash is all I can say but this is not enough!
What should be embedded in the media is that Trump appears to have a personality disorder. His behavior is intolerable, yet it's grudgingly accepted.
tRump is a thug with organized crime connections. Orange would not pull the trigger, but one of his Maga morons would gladly shoot to kill for the Depends Despot.
yep - if one president has immunity all of them do.
So why did Ford need to pardon Nixon? This is a rhetorical question. Obviously the Court has either rationalized this or failed to consider it.
Better yet, why did Nixon have to resign?
Oh yes, good point!
Justice Jackson brought this up in court yesterday. But it got ignored. It didn't fit into the manspreading, Conservative male justices' narratives and agenda.
😥
Bingo!
Friends . Ford had Nixon as a friend . Pardon!
That's huge. All the former presidents having immunity. The right wingers on the court could never tolerate giving Clinton and Obama immunity. That may be the only reason they refuse Trump's immunity case.
Maybe SCOTUS is trying to wait until Biden is headed out the door of the presidency, and Trump is headed in.
I hope Biden refuses to leave. That would be a reasonable action to take in a world where the highest court in the land has gone rogue.
Hey now let’s stay positive. Biden will win re election. No dJT AT ALL. HE A S SICK AS THEY COME.
I needed that!
No, we need to make sure President Biden wins reelection by the biggest landslide in history, in both the popular vote AND the Electoral College. The bigger the landslide, the stronger the message to the world that we are DONE with this evil.
Then they need to consider the fact that they would soon be out of a job because Trump with full immunity would never tolerate any of them telling him no.
Yes. I believe as an authoritarian leader, he himself would be the "Supreme Court." And what's more, if he had "absolute immunity," I guess he could basically just shoot them if they made a peep (and just call them traitors —or vermin!).
As could president Biden or any future President could order Seal Team to assassinate any Supreme Court
Justice over any decision
Can you put this in a letter and mail it to the members of the court?
I think he would shoot all the women at least 3. It’s just getting worse. American need to start raising hell with our elected officials. Don’t stop
I'm wondering why there is no he'll raising going on considering all we're subjected to. Have we become passive observers? Did we get injected with something in the covid vaccine that made us half asleep? There should be demonstrations outside the Supreme Court demanding they act lawfully re. Trump. I'm old otherwise I'd raise he'll there.
Let's "Raise hell" by ALL voting and color it BLUE!
Susie in OH, Dashk and Stephen J. Hyland, Can you put this in a letter and mail it to the members of the court?
If Trump does get in, it'll be the end of elections. Trump will essentially be King.
That thought has crossed my mind too. Just one more reason to VOTE and VOTE BLUE this November!!!
Vote blue and get out the blue vote in all of the swing states!!! And in Texas too for good measure!
Patrick Daniels, Can you put this in a letter and mail it to the members of the court?
I’ve written several times to the members of SCOTUS, and several political and judicial officials. Also called the president, been on a joint call, I’m doing what I can to help make government work for ‘we the People’ Tracy. Having worked with government agencies, it’s important for all of us to share our thoughts!
Murder is not the answer even it sounds good If the SCOTUS are crooks. There is bias in all
beings so that you are. A dead beat who is biased will vote Trump because of his star attraction and wealth while the truth of it is he is Trash and a heathen ! My motto is
my motto is what? My motto is if you have bias let it stay in the trunk of your car.
Come to leadership with a clear conscious mind
Know right from wrong. And stand up for what is right!
Send in seal team six! Lol
Works for me!
Oh you think so?🤔
It's ridiculous for GD SCOTUS to even consider this. What are they doing? Are they trying to figure out how they can make it somehow apply to only Trump?
Absolute Immunity? OrangeMan could wipe out Democrats and progressives en masse. After all, he considers them "vermin." He has absolutely no business in our politics.
It does. And, if so, and I were asked to make up the hit list, I'd start with Kavenaugh (the blackout drunk), Gorsuch, Barrett and Thomas (with Thomas, I'd recommend he and his wife be stuck together, just as they have been) - of course, they wouldn't have to admit anything then.
Yup, but Biden wouldn't stoop that low and I seriously doubt that he could live with himself if he did. Biden has a conscience and he's not afraid of competition either unlike his predecessor with the fragile ego.
Yes, as was already stated in this discussion, if SCOTUS rules that Trump can kill his rivals on the basis that the kills were "official acts of office", then Biden can have Seal Team Six waiting for Trump the moment he leaves the courtroom. Absurd on its face, and I'm astonished that SCOTUS is spending this much time on it.
#1 on Mary’s List IS the Obvious Blaring, Glaring, Red Alert That This Nation HAS Already Crossed THE LINE: SCOTUS Finds A Former President Can Assassinate His Rivals. Read that, absorb what you read. For That, is the result of the Ruling of the Not Supreme Court.” Let that Sickening, Vomit, Inducing, Immoral, Evil, Rot register in body, mind, and soul. Correct, the individuals on that “court” clearly, who voted Aye, a majority, have lost their humanity, their souls have vanished. They have been corrupted. “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” They Have been allowed to get away with Corrupt Power. They’re “Supreme Judges”. They understand the guy, and those that support the former guy, and those who support him. And “get” those who want An Absolute Dictator in the Oval Office. One “djt” a transactional guy, who’s proved how much he loves a deal. He’s their guy.
Time to grieve for a once, great, nation, and experiment in democracy and freedom of government, for and by the people. If We the people continued to be responsible & vigilant to keep her safe. How now, will You People get her back, she’s been Kidnapped, from You by her own Former Guy and Hot Corrupted Bench “sitter- Thieves??
Biden or any future POTUS could order the annihilation of all MAGAts...every single MAGAt politician, every single MAGAt Justice, every single MAGAt person...calling the order an "official act" because it's to save/preserve democracy. I doubt THAT's what the SCOTUS is after, but we'll see.
yep - if one president has immunity all of them would do same 🤷🏼
And He BETTER GET AT IT!
But Donnie in a position of power is likely to claim a rival is a threat to democracy and try to assassinate his rival and Biden isn't likely to try to claim a rival is a threat who needs to be killed or even jailed or punished in any way.
I think all of the "conservative" justices are corrupt. And Gorsuch and Barrett are in stolen seats. The chief justice is the least obviously corrupt, but that doesn't mean much. I hate the idea that they will slow walk their decision so the J6 trial won't happen before the election. Today's supreme court goes against everything I was ever taught to believe about them. It is all sickening.
I am sick about the Supreme Court as well. I’m not sure I can even think about what’s going to happen to our democracy.
Same, and it frightens me. It also agrees me, but I feel like we're playing with fire.
*angers me
Well if they keep it up in just a very short time we will be able to say "what democracy" or maybe "we had a democracy in this country once." There are five Catholic scumbags on the Supreme Court right now who are working under the thumb of the Catholic Bishops of America and the Rich and Famous to ingrandize themselves. There are sick bunch of fascists running our legal system into the ground. They need to be removed.
This is definitely not what I was taught in my Civics classes.
Me, too, neither.
The civics class I remember taught critical thinking even if it upset your idea of history It told the truth and taught how to look at social issues in a new light
We need more critical thinking, not the less critical thinking that the GOP is inflicting on us.
Cult members avoid critical thinking at all costs...they do what their fraudulent churches tell them what to do.
or presidents…
Not to push a book in this comment section but has everyone read the scheme by senator Sheldon Whitehouse? It really tells us a lot about what's going on up there in the Supreme Court and why we need to get rid of it in its current form.
No problem with turning us on to a good book. I'm sure that anything the senator writes is worth reading. I've checked it out and I'm not sure I can read it, at least right now, because the court has me terribly upset, and I need a respite from reading difficult books. I did put it on my Amazon wish list.
They don't even attempt to hide it.
Clarence's refused to recuse himself from a case that his wife should be a defendant in should make him a candidate for recall votes!!!
Susan you are so right!
Thank you, Bud!
I’d like to see Biden test the immunity. As an official act he should arrest Trump as a traitor or something like that.
I can't get my head around Trump's lawyers arguing that POTUS could accept a bribe, while Jamie Comer wants to impeach Biden for "accepting a bribe" - which of course didn't happen. Mind blown at the hypocrisy!!
It's like every election Trump loses has to be rigged but not the ones he wins. Heads I win, tails you lose.
Either way you look at it, Trump is beyond horrible: it's either barrages of the most unconscionable lies; or he is ACTUALLY DELUSIONAL along with having an unstoppable mouth.
When the truth is the ONLY election Trump won was rigged— by him.
It’s all about little man child. What happen to poor me must happen to the next Pres. read Mary book. How her family raised the most Dangerous man. Bottom line his dad pit his sons against each other Donny had to be the one on top. It’s Sad and Pathetic. Mary father never had a chance.
Unfortunately, Nana, it's NOT only about tfg. It's about those many, many angry un/undereducated people who are also armed and totally believe in tfg's persecution and their "righteous" anger. President Biden needs to be very cautious and strategic as to how he chooses to approach every situation, foreign and domestic. As for the over-militarized right wingers, they have gone "underground." Not visible, but still amongst us. What are they planning? I sure hope that there are eyes on these guys in disguise! We are on the precipice as a democracy.
The House certainly wouldn't be able to investigate him anymore. And BTW, what's the point of impeachment if he/she/they can do anything?
YES! I have thought Biden should expand the court since the very start! It is THE only way to insure any justice!
Or since a president has presumably unlimited powers why not just go ahead and reappoint a whole new Supreme Court!? This whole thing makes no sense.
Now that is a sound idea.
Oh you think so 🤔
Great idea!
Perfect solution. Do it quickly while the Senate is still blue!
Love that idea except brown. Oh poor little Corrupt MCCONNELL WOULD CRY. HE NEEDS TO END HIS SEAT HOWEVER THE CORRUPT F$&Ker DOES IT. THAT MAN WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IN EARLY 80s BY TOBACCO CO. HE A SICK HUMAN.
The damned GOP did cheat Democrats (Obama) out of SCOTUS appointment.
Yes but he turned out to be a wishy washy toad.
As AG; but —as some other observers have noted —his personality might have been better suited to being a member of the Supreme Court.
He might have been better as a SCOTUS judge , though. 🤔
Maybe. But he's dragged his feet on Trump.
Mary, thank you for 2 in-depth columns today! 💙
I agree with you on your assessment of the ILLEGITIMATE Supreme Court.
From my perspective in Australia…how the USA …has politically appointed Supreme Court Judges…the highest in the land….please….USA is noticeably strongly racist…sorry …. rest my case
AND misogonistic!
I think i agree with that too
Truth be told, I really would like to kick Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and--especially--Alito in their miserable privates! I am appalled at their rampant corruption and ridiculous arguments about this trial setting a bad precedent for future courts. I don't know how Sotomayer, Kagan and Jackson can abide daily contact with these deficient human beans. Just wait until The Orange Menance loses bigly in November and they will have to live in ignominy. Can't wait!
They don't seem to think of how their decisions will affect their grands / great-grands in the coming eras.
@Harmemscorp Yup! I think their "thinker" is terminally warped.
Yep I agree.
I never thought "The Manchurian Candidate" (1960's version) would become reality. When is DJT going to be called out on abusing the judicial system? It's like the Supreme Court is his personal Muni court.
I have thought of that novel too. Along with "7 Days in May." "The 480."
And the "usual" distopian ones. What an effin nightmare!
Thx Cathleen for these recommendations. I need to look at these books. It is a nightmare! When I see Ginni Thomas, I just see the Angela Lansbury character in this classic movie as well as the theme of attainment of power at any cost.
You're welcome. One of my favs "The 480," was written by poli sci prof at uc berkeley, Eugene Burdick. (Died way too young at age 45.) 1964. Great novel. About a computer picking the perfect presidential candidate after the Kennedy assasscination. May be tough to find, but I'll look up the name of a used book seller and send that to you.
He certainly is a puppet isn’t he?
Now he has been named "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Arizona election fraud case. The depth of his criminality may take decades to uncover.
I have seen how the American people have always suffered when a Republican was in the White House. Those states run by Republicans are in the lowest ranks of earnings and education.
"The Donald" shows what can happen when one goes beyond a decent or comfortable living. The quest for more money and more power is intoxicating but ultimately fatal.
So much of our government has been poisoned by him. Poisoned by greed. Poisoned by evil.
One day there will be no Donald Trump. But there may be someone just as bad. We are the ones who have to fight to preserve Democracy.
The ground was made fertile by many before tfg. Eisenhower ignitiated the "National Prayer Breakfast." Altered the "Pledge..." by inserting the words "Under God." Had all US paper and coinage carry the words "In God We Trust." CIA and State Department heads, the Dulles brothers. He also "probably" had a mistress, his personal secretary during WWII by many accounts, but never divorced Maime. Things just got worse after Nixon, whose vice presidency under Eisenhower also needs to be acknowledged and recognized as a HUGE blunder, especially after the manner in which Nixon won his 1947 Ca House of Rep seat from a WOMAN. (It's ALL in our history. Easy to research.)
Then Kennedy. Johnson. (All of us probably are aware of those two Demo presidents.) Then here comes recycled Nixon again! Angrier and more corrupt than ever. (Recommend Oliver Stone's "Nixon," an insightful emotional biography of this complicated human.) A Ford, R, pardon after the FIRST EVER RESIGNATION of a US President. (Seems only #45, also an R "trumps" THAT first!) Jimmy Carter, D. Inc. one term, loses to Reagan after a "questionable" release of American hostages from Iran. And high inflation, many would argue due to the frivilous and wasteful expense of a war in Vietnam. Reagan, handsome, glib, corrupt. Groomed by the best $$$ the Republicans had to offer. Many of the very same, very wealthy individuals who catapulted him into California's governor's office "practiced" here first. Social Security Federal Income Tax. Iran-Contra. Grenada. Union busting (air traffic controllers. Still feeling those after effects.) FCC regs shredded. So many other regs, protecting the people from profits, at any cost assaulted. "Greed is good." More. Bush I. (Former CIA Chief and Reagan vp) More RepubliCON shenanigans. One term. Out of touch with so much. Hard to fathom RAN the CIA! Then Clinton, D. Who could NEVER keep his pants zipped. (Ask anyone in "high society" Little Rock.) Surrendered to R, by many historians' opinions, to guarantee a second term. Dogged by Kevin Starr, R "special prosecuter," over Whitewater, a "nothing burger." But caught with his fly unzipped once more. National disgrace. A liar by his own admission. Bush II, out to out-do his dad. (Recommend Oliver Stone's "W" as a peek into this "Christian.") "No drama Obama." (Golly, are we ever makng up for that?!) Harassed continuously by loser racists. Family constantly threatened. MAJOR disrepect by #45. President Biden now at the helm. Some of us still smarting at HIS handling of the Clarence Thomas hearings. Biden was chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee which "questioned" Thomas before full Senate finally endorsed him as a Supreme Court Justice. (I still believe Prof. Anita Hill. There were other women who volunteered to testify, but were disallowed by Biden's committee.) Isn't OUR history fascinating!? So here we are: Somewhere between ALL our history and our communal future, the hope of a just and fair one. VOTE! None are perfect, but, come on, some are truly and bigly FLAWED!
You have filled me in on some parts of our history that I didn't know. Thank you for that. I hate to admit that I was persuaded to vote R for a few years, by the people I was around, but I'm grateful that when I got married all that changed, my eyes were truly opened. Biden may not be perfect, but he's majorly better than tfg. Nobody is perfect, but at least some have some ability to change.
You are welcome, Susan. Thanks for your appreciation. Means so much to this retired teacher.
I'm married to a retired teacher, and I've seen the appreciation he gets. Well deserved, and I'm sure for you also well deserved.
Religion has always been used to force cognitive dissonance throughout life so that people can be coerced against their own and/or the common interest. It’s one of the core tools of the power/money hungry to accrue their power & wealth from the masses. Great examples cited from the past 75 years, Kay. Why are the vast majority people so blind and ignorant of how this happening in plain sight. Are we, as a species, that closely related to sheep?
Uh, name's "Cathleen." And other than that error, I agree wih you 100%.
Let’s think here. If one person, like the President of the USA, could dictate prices of food and energy, why would they raise them?
Are Trump claims of presidential immunity only for him or is Biden free to do whatever he wants. Become King Biden? Send in Seal Team 6 to assassinate his opponent? It’s so ridiculous. The Supreme Court shouldn’t have even taken it up, but we have federalists on this Supreme Court who want to go out on their yachts and private jets and must please those who put them on the Supreme Court.
As I commented already…the highest powerful court in your land…is politically appointed….absolutely incredible …plus the hidden power of church hierarchy in some states beggars belief…..the election interference in states not favourable to the incumbent …moving polling booths … wow…🤬🤬
Mind blowing to our court systems and voting….1. Voting compulsory here….2…three layers of government…local,state and federal…. all have separate elections ….they are mandated to the terms….some 4 yrs some 3yrs……the High Court of Australia …..are appointed by the Governor General…etc..check it out on wikepedia/google etc…
I certainly am proud to be an Aussie when I read the complexity and troubles in your country…racism appears a major problem still …??
That’s all folks 😹😹😹
MARY - JUST ONE MORE BOMBSHELL THAT I THINK YOUR READERS SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF - THE FACT THAT TWO WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS (SARAH SANDERS & HOPE HICKS) BOTH DISCUSSED THE NEED TO EXTEND THE HUSH MONEY DEAL WITH KAREN MCDOUGAL
this would not be a surprise,considering the fact ,trump had a "dinner" ,specifically for mr pecker at the whitehouse,and they had more discussions regarding ms mcdougal and ms daniels..hope hicks is scheduled to be a witness for the prosecution in the near future..
I grew up with the greatest respect, admiration and above all trust in the Court. But like so much else from my childhood, this has now vanished for parts unknown.
💯
I think the New York case is important because like the national enquirer people love this kind of soap opera drama and trump is not projecting that he’s any kind of great guy. He projects an unappealing ugliness. He could lose a lot of votes. He’s the bad guy in this story, and definitely not the strongman that he imagines he is. The judge controls him.
Even though I always cringe at the thought of what becomes of our country, I very much appreciate your easy to comprehend posts about what happens during the trial, Mary! Thank you!

SCOTUS has me incredibly upset. I just can’t believe what’s going down there.
Not one person uttered a word about the Republican block of the Democratic SCOTUS pick that Pres. Obama chose. The reason for the block was invalid & should have been ignored & lawfully ousted. Then came Trump - the con/scammer/thief, sleaqe - most indecent human being ever to run for U.S. President....and look at the TOTAL corruption of the Republican Party today.
The conservative-reactionary Justices have only one goal in mind: to come up with some new test of the difference between official and unofficial acts so they can return the case to the district court for determinations of which bowl Trump's actions fall into. That will require hearings, rulings and of course Trump appeals. The net result is sufficient delay to prevent any trial in the interference case before Judge Chutkan before the election. A major win for Trump though the hard work of his ward healers on the Supreme Court who are always looking for a favor to do for Donald. I found today's oral argument to be the most disgusting one I have ever heard since the Justices were only looking for a way to derail Trump's coup trial. But wouldn't it be delicious if Biden wins re-election and Democrats win control of House and Senate, get rid of the obnoxious filibuster and then pass a statute to increase the Supreme Court to Thirteen Justices so that truth, justice and the American Way can once again prevail.
