One wonders how many “gratuities” (don’t call them bribes) SCOTUS justices will receive following this decision.

Justice spoke candidly about the ideological battle between the left & the right—discussing the difficulty of living “peacefully" w/ideological opponents in the face of "fundamental" differences that "can't be compromised." He endorsed…a necessary fight to “return our country to a place of godliness."

I agree Alito should be flying a flag that says Shame in Italian.

Most Americans see as a time to pay tribute to the US service members who gave their lives for their country, or perhaps fire up the BBQ w/friends & family to celebrate the unofficial start of summer, or maybe save some money on a new mattress. Acc/to Google, a lot of Americans also make a point to look up what the “Memorial Day meaning” is. Then there’s Donald .

You could issue a greeting card collection of Trump assailing fellow Americans. Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Christmas. We could call them Heilmark cards.

@GottaLaff so now she’s floating stripping away the right to a jury? Trump would love a bench trial where Cannon can rule in his favor.

Justice says his wife Martha-Ann Alito had an altercation with neighbors about a "'Fuck Trump' sign that was within 50 feet of where children await the school bus in Jan 21."

Except... FCPS and ACPS were all remote in January of 2021. No children were waiting for buses

    Telling the truth is not “deeply rooted” in Alito’s “traditions.”

    @flexghost when does Cannon go on trial for providing this unreported in-kind campaign contribution to the Trump campaign?

    Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

    The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

    The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

    “Scumbags?” Is that synonymous with “deplorables?”

    Here's William Jones who authored the 1864 bill.

    Some fun facts:

    He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.

    His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan before he was fired.

    He also looks like Jim Jones. Any chance they’re related?
