In 1858, in his “A House Divided” speech, Lincoln spoke of an edifice being framed by workmen constructing a permanent home for slavery in America. Today, the reactionary forces are building yet another frame. But what horrific edifice do they envision? My piece in the replies.
Really, Justice Alito? Another insurrectionist flag? You really have left us with no choice. We’re going to have to make this all about you and your broken oath of office. Read my write-up, in the reply thread.
With no less than five Trumpy stories in the news, it’s time for a Legal Roundup. Trump trial, a “very interesting” contraception ban, a “Unified Reich,” false claims of an assassination attempt, and arraignments in Arizona. Here’s your mid-week summary!
One of my goals as a independent political analyst is to bring you stories the mainstream media isn’t covering. I have two today, involving Trump’s continuing cognitive decline and Justice Alito’s latest ethical violation. Check it out in the reply thread.
My weekly collection of some of the best posts on the Internet is out! Enjoy Just for Xeets and Giggles. And don’t let your sense of geography and time warp as badly as Roger Stone’s. Link in the thread!
For further confirmation that radicals on SCOTUS are partisan hacks abusing their power and thumbing their noses at ethical rules, we now have Justice Alito and the deplorable, upside-down U.S. flag, flying at his home just 11 days after the Jan 6 riot. My write up in the replies.
