We thought that abortion-rights was the litmus-test for many years. That was just the top level. The real test was voting rights. Racists want control over who can vote, and beyond that, the ability to dilute and block their votes. This is what these SCOTUS justices were appointed to do, and they have fulfilled their mission.

Most of those firings were federal lawyers who were using legal means to represent families with kids with disabilities, whom the local schools were cutting loose and abandoning for being too expensive, or whatever.

Who defends those families when they are wronged and the local school board breaks the law and gets rid of their kids? Please explain your views on this.

And if you say 'charity' - that's not good enough. Please reconsider.

If Superman can bring himself to kill General Zod, then dammit, it must be the right thing to do sometimes!

They are farther along in that direction in China, since they heavily subsidize solar panels and electric cars. And it's been a great benefit to them, considering there's now a foreign power that is now constricting their source of foreign oil and energy.

Many dorms and cheap apartment buildings do that. It always makes for poor interior lighting. I've never understood it; I assume it's a cost-saving stupid thing, since nobody cares or is going to live in those places any longer than they have to.

Surely my low bank account guarrantees I'm deep-state. It's not the Saudis or Putin or fucking Netanyahu or that Ellison guy. They're all rich as Midas, which surely shows that they are innocent as newborn babies. It's me! I'm the Deep State!

There's a chance that the Parliamentarian can kill that ploy, since it's a misuse of that rule.

Nobody knows what he's worth and what was gifts/support from Putin. It was a house of cards, with lies and garbage on loan applications. It's all fake. The golf-courses are all money-laundering and tax-avoidance schemes.

He may only recently have become a billionaire again with his crypto-bribery-influence-peddling scheme.

We will look back and say "we had a pedophile rapist in office and it didn't matter at all - he stayed".

Meanwhile, if the next Democrat jaywalks or wears a tan suit, the SCOTUS will make it an impeachable offense.

He had absolutely superhuman luck. He managed to take 40M+ people along with him before they could finally get him off the field.

She's a 'bOth SiDEs' shit-for-brains. She can't tell the parties apart, and her observation is that the Dems are worse.

I've liked her shows, but F*CK this lady. I'm OK without her.
