@Doreen32128 I wish it weren't happening

@GottaLaff Why? Would like your take!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Doreen32128 Because SCOTUS is destroying what’s left of our democracy.

They have 14 left, so it will be two days of 5 and one of 4.

Since they only do Wednesday through Friday, Juneteenth messed with their “no more than 4 a day for the press” release schedule.

@GottaLaff I can't believe I'm living in an age where this isn't cut and dried.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Eetschrijver Nor can I. I can't believe what world we ended up in. And in my "golden years" when things were supposed to be a little more enjoyable.

@GottaLaff I know, right? I'm 69 and living in France, and in six days the nazis might take over. 😕

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Eetschrijver Holy crap. I can so relate.

@Eetschrijver@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Ugly times, these are.

GottaLaff OP ,

@Eetschrijver I can barely read the news

@GottaLaff I SO feel you!

2/ Wed, Thurs, Fri: Hell week.

@GottaLaff
They REALLY want to either use Trump's cratering at the debate as a distraction from their rulings, or use their rulings as a distraction from his cratering at the debate.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@n1xnx Both.

@GottaLaff It feels as though this scotus is the equivalent of a hired worker going through your drawers and closets sniffing and pocketing anything they can take away quickly but with a van around the corner in case you leave for EVEN A MINUTE. Thieves, liars, cheats and not one of them with an authentic bone in their fucking bodies.

I still think Trump will back out of the debate.

@GottaLaff @TCatInReality @n1xnx He can't. It would make him look scared.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@msbellows I agree, even if he were to try to justify it. @TCatInReality @n1xnx

@Tharpa@hear-me.social avatar

@GottaLaff @msbellows @TCatInReality @n1xnx He doubts he can win it, and so in the face of the prospect of losing, his cowardice may override his arrogance, and prevail.

@Tharpa @GottaLaff @msbellows @TCatInReality @n1xnx He's certain he will win it. He believes his own hype. He thinks he's a genius. And the fact is, if he sticks to his talking points and Biden makes some flubs there is no guarantee he won't be seen as winning, as horrifying as that would be.

@cherold @GottaLaff @msbellows @TCatInReality @n1xnx Strange indeed, this disease called Malignant Narcissism. .. He loses all the time, and must know he loses, yet never admits it, does he not admit it even to himself? He recites the same tedious patter at every rally, does he lack the self-awareness to realize his mind is a barren, shit-bestrewn wasteland of futility? He sees 'Trump is demented' everywhere in the media, he mangles words, and phrases, forgets names, goes off on fabulous stories about sharks, and boats, pulls a dozen lying 'Sir!' anecdotes out of his ass.. then in the next breath declares himself a genius, and smiles like a bloated pompous fool as the braindead audience cheers - because they reflexively cheer everything he says, however stupid. I agree, that despite all the evidence, Trump really believes he's an all-powerful genius, which ironically proves that dementia has reduced his brain to a few scraps of rotting neurons, possessing ZERO self-awareness.

Right on cue, TrumpWorld creates a crisis with CNN today. Might be the cover he needs to skip the debate.

@GottaLaff @TCatInReality @n1xnx Last I heard Trump was trying to intimidate Dana Bash and Jake Tapper. TBH, if I were CNN I'd cancel the debate.

mmynatt ,
@mmynatt@universeodon.com avatar

@GottaLaff Yes it is. We need to reform the court to add a Justice for each circuit - from 9 to 13 would help dilute these Christian nationalists’ influence. Step up and try to do it, Senate Dems!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@mmynatt I wish they would, but they need more votes, plus they need Biden's support

@GottaLaff @mmynatt

Weird how we all know what should be done, a common sense solution, but know it never will be. Frustrating hardly covers it.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Wileymiller Utterly exasperating, frustrating, maddening, you name it. @mmynatt

mmynatt ,
@mmynatt@universeodon.com avatar

@GottaLaff Yeah, I know that, but we still need to constantly say it. So frustrated w our low turnout and people who say” I don’t follow politics”. They are killing us.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@mmynatt They sure are

@GottaLaff SCOTUS is 100% coordinating with the GOP to protect/install Trump.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@galad 6 of them are.

The debate is on Thursday. HMMMM
