As a Canadian looking in to the shit hole of the USA, and unfortunately probably knowing more about the US Constitution and role of government than most Americans -the recent SCOTUS rulings are in fact a coup against the separation of powers - they only give a President immunity to what 'they' will allow, and that will be arbitrary and pernicious depending on their warped sense of loyalty and power
This is exactly what the Nazi Party did when Hitler became Chancellor - own the courts
Kevin Kruse: "The current Supreme Court of the United States has just cemented its place in history as the most radical Supreme Court ever. For a century and a half, that dishonor has gone to the antebellum court led by Chief Justice Roger Taney, whose pro-slavery perversions of the Constitution brought us such indefensible decisions as the infamous Dred Scott ruling. The current court might not have issued a single ruling that rivals Dred Scott for sheer awfulness, but its broader record of capriciously overturning a much wider range of precedents and offering increasingly thin pretenses for its path of destruction puts the Roberts Court below the Taney Court in terms of its overall horrors." #scotus#uspoli The Radical Roberts Court
I wholeheartedly approve of this message. Until we make progress on unfucking the Republican judiciary fuckery of the last 20 years, made orders of magnitude worse today. No more bringing knives to gun fights. #rant#uspoli
All of this "Democrats should worry about tit for tat" is beyond hypocritical. Democrats did not do tit-for-tat against GWB after the ginned up Clinton Impeachment. Democrats didn't do it to Trump after GOP tried the same thing with Obama nor when they refused to support legislation they normally would under Obama. Trump already tried to make the US AG and DOJ his personal law firm. He directly interfered with investigations against cronies and his family. Meanwhile Democratic congressional members and the Biden's own son are under active investigation and criminal cases for stuff that was shady as fuck, in the case of Menedez, or wouldn't normally have gone this far in the case of some of Hunter's charges. Republicans were already going to use these things without the pretense they are presenting here because one of their own was finally held to account. #uspoli#rant

Israel and Israeli Zionism have done untold harm to Judaism. In fact, they're probably the most effective anti-Semitism in the world today.
As Yarden Katz writes:
"Anyone wishing to understand how the Holocaust was possible, how people who may be warm and kind in their personal lives could support the murder of an entire population deemed subhuman, should examine Israeli society."
"... the zionist project, culminating in Israel, is profoundly contrary to Jewish traditions ... Israel has suppressed these Jewish traditions and ways of living while hijacking parts of them when convenient."
#LevParnas, the reformed convicted former #Trump associate who worked hand-in-glove with #DonaldTrump and #RudyGiuliani to try to dig up “dirt” on the #Bidens so that Trump could spread #disinformation heading into the #2020election, exposed the details of Trump’s scheme during another sham #GOP hearing today about the Bidens.
