I didn't either and if this is true, and trump is certainly acting like it is, the Supreme Court really did betray We the People. That is really treason and there is no way to react against it because pure RAGE at all of the betrayers including the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court created Super Citizens in 2010. The government has been serving them exclusively since then.

The Supreme Court voided our constitutionally guaranteed democratic republic on July 1, 2024 replacing it with serial authoritarianism.

I did not consent to this form of government.

That does seem like something that Jim Jordan might say, and he would be even more impressed with Trump about both the gun and the rough treatment of meek women.

I most certainly do not consider the FBI headed up by Kash Patel to be an institution “that protects the country.” Under its current management, the FBI is a criminal front organization charged with running interference for Trump‘s crime syndicate which in turn is running the nation into the ground.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 12h

You might wonder, why spread this lie at all? Because it serves a purpose. Trump wants Americans to stop trusting the very institutions that protect the country like the FBI. These are some of the most capable and intelligent professionals in the nation.

Are you suggesting that Supply Side Jesus’ economic theories are steeped in self-interest, as if Supply Side were some kind of a capitalist instead of the good socialist we all know Him to be from His teachings so plainly laid out in the Bible?Don’t you know you could be charged as a witch for less?

There are no fascists in the world more fascist than genuine American fascist from the U.S. of A.—- however, our very best fascists are mostly imported (illegally) from South Africa. But still, the point mostly stands, and speaks for itself.

Bove has conclusively proven he belongs in prison. A perfect lawyer for a felon like Trump. But in his role as judge, farce outstrips reality.

smoscom.bsky.social @smoscom.bsky.social · 13h

But Supply Side Jesus seems so darn earnest about his speculative (and now disproven) economic theories…. Is that why he keeps dredging them up from their graves and trotting them out all over again every few years?

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

Is Trump a mentally deranged moron, or does he just not remember anything about his Jan. 6th insurrection? Or —- and this is more likely—- is it both? Talk about mentally impaired and in severe cognitive decline….Makes Biden appear nearly fit.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Both sides, both sides!

When the AI bubble pops, the country still won't be nearly as bankrupt as the legacy media is now.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

smoscom.bsky.social @smoscom.bsky.social · 18h

Trump is too cognitively impaired even to remember that he was in charge on Jan. 6, 2021. What a mentally deranged person he is.

And all who defend him are themselves complicit in what has transpired, and all that is to come.

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The highest concentration of people who have lied to Congress is in the White House and the Supreme Court.
The DOJ can start there and work its way down to themselves.
