This is how our civil war will break out: Trump will provoke outrage by attacking our neighbors. Moral ppl will fight back. Trump will escalate: there’s more than one way to light a Reichstag fire.

“And no one knows what to do…” So what’s the point? We all know all of this: why are we asked to watch someone tell us again?

2/2 Make no mistake, FedSoc cabal has ruined our society in many ways, from flood of campaign cash & sticking hands up women’s uteruses to cheating Blacks of votes & abetting Trump coup. But never overlook how they sinisterly & quietly turned nation into gambling den: their horrific reign must end.

1/2 Used to be a treat to look at weekly matchups w win-loss records. Blurbs cld be hilarious. But now just seedy betting shop flyer: instead of win-loss records, betting lines held in grubby gambler hands. FedSoc cabal that hijacked Sup Ct has corroded our society: g.d. them for gambling scourge.

Cowards: lifetime tenure, can say what they want where it shld be said, *their rulings,* not in anonymous “surveys.” Many ppl face grave risk defending rule of law w/o protections these “shadow critics” enjoy: let them speak openly. Best part was J. Wilkinson close, non sequitur, but always a treat.

Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a
conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from
a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive
may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic
gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.
It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the
best that is within us while there is still time.

1/2 This shld worry the Gestapo: “What we have been able to do for detainees for the past several years, which is written into Illinois law, was refused by this current Federal Government.”

The church taking a Christian position here wld also be significant: 5 FedSoc Sup Ct Justices are Catholic.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Omitted key hurdle: worthless opposition party that helps oligarchs rob masses, abets genocide, smothers party voices who aspire to better, & campaigns primarily on gun-to-voters’-heads ultimatum: “The other side sucks more!” I’m pretty sure if this were fixed, all other hurdles wld be cleared too.

You’re right: shame on those dumbass Dem voters for growing sick of party whose leaders brunch on Martha’s Vineyard while they eke by, foisted ACA on them & declared it nirvana, helped murder 20K Gaza children, cosseted predatory lenders, oligarch thieves, etc, then brayed: “It’s us or worse, saps!”

2/2 The five are Alito, Barrett, Kavanaugh, Roberts, & Thomas. (Gorsuch was raised Catholic but now attends Episcopal church.) However, they put aside their religious teachings abt death penalty abomination, compassion for oppressed/suffering, etc when these clash w heartless GQP goals.

💯Blinken shld never be able to show his face in public again—no restaurants, no theaters, no thanksgiving day gatherings, no Starbucks lattes: wherever he appears, he shld be forced to leave immediately, the b*****d. Same goes for other Biden gang war criminals.

100%. This is also why chances of actual civil war—yes, I said it & mean it—are dramatically increasing: masked goons are pitting our decency & compassion against desire to avoid armed conflict. Eventually, ppl will have had enough of watching our neighbors roughed up—enough of g.d. Kavanaugh stops.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 1d

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.
