John Roberts Defies the Supreme Court. He is proving to be a loyal soldier in Trumpy's Army of War. I guess in-Justice Roberts being paid untold millions in crypto retirement money is being rewarded bigly.

John Roberts Defies the Supreme Court

If the chief justice was once a judicial institutionalist, he has become all too eager to cast norms and precedent aside in matters that benefit Trump.

Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing.

The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up.

The more the deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security

Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

The US will never have affordable healthcare. Drug companies and other industries would lose tens of millions in profits because they would no longer be able to charge outrageous sums. Healthcare should never have become a financial stream for creating billionaires.

Racial equality and peace remain central to American discourse and activism today. For example, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed in the wake of King's assassination.

The notion that killing a leader does not stop a movement—but rather grows it—is reflected in the continued struggle for civil rights and social justice. While the assassinations led to a sense of national disarray and disillusionment, the core issues championed by these leaders, such as racial

It was always easy for our military to terrorize citizens as Miller describes.

That's not the point.

The point is that this is America—not the Third Reich—and OUR MILITARY ISN'T TO BE USED THIS WAY.

Anyone who can't understand and accept this was NEVER a fan of America, democracy, or rule of law.
