If they think criticism is unpleasant, just wait until they see what awaits them in their eternity.

Wow Mississippi, really swinging for the fences!

Col3814444 , in The Supreme Court strikes down Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan, blocking debt relief for millions of borrowers

SC basically just making any old shit up to justify whatever right wing position they want nowadays. Something needs to be done.

Generic-Disposable , in Supreme Court Backs Web Designer Opposed to Same-Sex Marriage

Some fun facts about this case.

There was no web design business. There was no gay client asking for a super gay wedding website. The supposed client didn't even know about the case and is not gay.

The supreme court took on a hypothetical case and used it to make gays second class citizens.

More freedumb for "religious" heretics who promote brain-dead interpretations of scripture, actually.

PlainsKeeper316 , in The court dealt a resounding setback to President Biden.

Setback to Biden? More of a setback for the people with loans.

I think this quote sums up how batshit this scotus is via David S. Bernstein:

“But before I send boxes over, I have to take my
things out,” Trump told Baier. “These boxes were
interspersed with all sorts of things. Golf shirts,
clothing, pants, shoes. There were many things.”

God damn. Imagine the fucking mess left behind. Probably old big macs stuffed in drawers and shit.

RubberStuntBaby , in There is No Norm against Prosecuting Former Presidents in the United States

We can either have presidents who are above the law or we can have the rule of law.

Nixon wasn't prosecuted for Watergate, Reagan for Iran-Contra or Bush for Iraq. It's time to start holding those in power accountable.

OurTragicUniverse , in Miami prepared for 50,000 Trump supporters to demonstrate against his indictment. CNN is reporting 20 have shown up so far. 20.

The rest of them are still at the grassy knoll, waiting for Kennedy to come back from the dead.
