Add the names of all the male justices and Coney Barren after Thomas's for the full scope of the degradation of our SCOTUS.

When the media calls That Stupid Old Man a "Strongman" he takes it as approval. He sees himself as manly and strong and basks in the supposed praise/recognition.
We should only refer to him as Dictator, Demagogue, Felon, Rapist, Abuser, Criminal, Autocrat, Insurrectionist, or That Stupid Old Man.

I don't think normies truly get how insane this stuff was from Mike Lee, a US SENATOR.

Ana Marie Cox @anamariecox.bsky.social · Sep 10

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/06/17/s...

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers.

One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left.

Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

I'm going to assume that Mr. Kirk didn't mind being shot today since he thought gun deaths were an acceptable, even necessary, feature of life in these here United States. And, since he was contemptuous of the concept of empathy, he would not welcome our "thoughts and prayers" even for his family.

WTF does "fully depreciated" mean? Dead!?!?

This was the inspiration for the samples I made. I’m pretty sure I first saw it here on quiltsky. I don’t know if it has a specific name or who posted it. I just really liked it.

I made a sample of this block with scraps in my stash. I liked it so much I did a second one to make a plaque for the back of this old jacket.

Who's going to enforce this ruling? Nobody. He's become an "immoveable object" and SCOTUS won't provide any leverage to get him to pay up.

Alas, Quiltsky has become a "selling duvets" site. I can't block them all so I may have to exit. Sad!!

Big Ag is rigging it so that independent farmers go under, freeing up the land to be purchased at distressed sale prices. They contribute to That Stupid Old Man and his lickspittles.
