Vance is talking to the Governor of the sovereign state of Illinois. He needs to show some respect. 🙄

Vance does not “outrank” him.

This is a guy who thinks he’s going to 25th amendment Trump in the near future.

Vance couldn’t plot overthrowing a cat litter box.

This is like walking up to a lion, punching it in the nose, and then the lion bites your head off.

I hear Justice Thomas has a lot of spare time in the summers.

Every nation has jurisdiction — and a duty — to prosecute international law - which does NOT vary country to country.

(For the slow learners: that means it is illegal everywhere.)

Shush long enough to learn something from someone more knowledgeable than yourself.

International law is UNIVERSAL.

It is a crime EVERYWHERE.

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 11h

But the crime has no relation to jurisdictional issues.

Worst thing about Kirk’s early death is he can’t now repent his sinful bigotry and get right with God.

He could have become a powerful voice of charity and love, leading the Maga lost sheep to Jesus. 💗

That’s a tragedy.

BLOCKED for threatening others with violence.

“Is Schumer some intern at the White House”?

So, in sum: a fairly good week for the president. 🥸

To be fair, lawmakers also “took race into account” in drawing their preferred lines.

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 22h

So … sort of just like the current Supreme Court majority.

I don’t think we’ve quite grasped the extent of mental illness today.

While there is a crisis of more ordinary persons who need access to mental health care, what’s astounding is how many persons with such access lack guidance in their lives that would get them to it.

To which the obvious follow up is:

“If you don’t know anything then why are you here?”

jim0novak.bsky.social @jim0novak.bsky.social · 22h

To which the appropriate follow up is:

“But that’s not true.”

To be fair, the Corrupt Six never believed in the Constitution to begin with.

The return to constitutional order should be non-negotiable.
