Well, it's not like SCOTUS conservatives' "rulings" haven't supported the GOP's blatant lies for decades.
Whoppers like "money is free speech" & "corporations are people"; or Roberts' bullshit that racism is no longer an issue which opened the floodgates of GOP voter suppression crimes, etc.

Sure you have, Trump - on Earth 3 maybe.
What a goddamned liar. Trump's endless lies have about the same credibility as claiming "the Earth is flat" and "My cat can files taxes"

"SCOTUS has aided and abetted a malignant narcissist."
Indeed! SCOTUS conservatives have spent decades hollowing out our democracy with rulings like Citizens United, Shelby v. Holder, gutting Chevron deference, Trump’s “immunity” decision, and many other anti-democratic abominations.

“The homegrowns are next. You’ve got to build about five more places.” - murderous felon, Trump
No question that private prison contractors are salivating in anticipation of Trump diverting even more taxpayers billions lining their pockets via hundreds of thousands imprisoned "homegrowns".

Wow. The felonious tin-pot dictator is truly a one man crime wave all unto himself what with so many pay-to-play pardons.
The depraved orange despot should have been incarcerated for HIS many crimes long ago.

The Trump–GOP crime syndicate is just rerunning Big Tobacco’s playbook: deny what every honest scientist knows, hide the body count, cash the checks.
It’s the GOP's modern version of “smoking doesn’t cause cancer” - demonstrating that weaponized greed really does rot people’s brains.

The DHS/CBP/ICE machine under the Trump–GOP tin‑pot regime is many horrific things, but “law enforcement” is not among them.
ICE's lawlessness should be rightly viewed as state‑sponsored child abuse and terror wielded for racist political theater & profiteering private prison contractors.

For decades the GOP has been selling the public on virtually non-existent ‘voter fraud’ as pretext for Jim Crow-era voter suppression crimes, packaged as ‘election integrity’ and ‘voter ID’ laws” which gave Rs many of their illegitimate legislative majorities and super majorities in red states.

"They want to continue to cheat in Elections."
That's some serious projection coming from the party who hasn't legitimately "won" a single presidential election that DIDN'T involve some form of Republican election skullduggery, fraud or outright treason since Eisenhower.

Just one reason - of many - why I hope Zelensky does not cave into Russian demands to meet in person in Moscow when those talks can be just as easily held via secured online video calls.
Zelensky should do the same for his meetings w/that other murderous criminal, Trump or any of his lackeys.

When a regime builds a nationwide deportation and detention network in blue and swing cities, on bogus “emergency” grounds, it’s not planning to respect losses at the ballot box.
This ICE/DHS build‑out screams that Trump and the GOP are preparing to rule through fear, not democratic consent.

The SAVE Act is an an election power grab DESIGNED to block millions of eligible voters. Its entire point is the mass disenfranchisement of likely Dem voters by imposing red‑state style voter purges nationwide.
Rs couldn't win most elections honestly even if their very lives depended on it.

That's what happens when what ought to be a public service - our prison system - is privatized and run by greedy profiteers who then cut costs to the bone to extract every cent of profit from the public funds received, so we end up with human rights violations like the DHS concentration camps.

Instead of answering questions Bondi relied on 3 binders of rehearsed ad hominem attacks, pre-scripted to smear Dems and dodge the substance of their questions.
Classic ad hominem: when you can’t rebut the facts, you attack the person. Pure deflection, nothing remotely resembling accountability.

Please, Zelensky take care of yourself as you know these are hardened criminals you are dealing with, e.g., Putin, Trump, etc.
As I put absolutely NOTHING past these monsters, when it comes to meetings w/them or their representatives I think the safest route is via secured, online video.

Nice burn, but Moskowitz walked straight into the trap. Instead of brushing off Bondi’s bad-faith claim that he was “mocking the Bible,” he tried to defend himself - handing her the chance to pivot into performative outrage and play the victim.
He’s sharper than that; don’t legitimize the smear.

Since Bondi lies like her crime boss Trump, Dems should only ask questions that builds a clear, airtight record, e.g., documents her falsehoods, obstruction, and complicity - so there’s an incontrovertible evidentiary basis for her future criminal indictment(s) and contempt-of-Congress charges.

Unsurprising that Trump's tariffs - aka GOP's wet dream of a flat tax come true - resulted in higher costs.
No less than 16 Nobel Laureate economists warned against Trumps tariffs in early 2024. But what do THEY know vs the orange sociopath who thinks that HE is the ultimate expert in ALL things?

Yep, saw an ad run on MSNOW today promoting ICE and their "contribution" to protecting public safety by going after the so-called "worst of the worst" when less than 14% of CBP/ICE abductions, kidnappings and illegal incarcerations have a criminal record. Effing lying bastards.

They know their whole project is hate: against immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ folks, anyone liberal. Bad Bunny’s message lands because it names what they are and what they fear.
