GE returning to its 1970s roots of building awful cars. They apologize for accidentally making a good one, they won’t do that again.

It was intensely disappointing to have The Guardian join the Merchants of Doubt. Quoting a Dow Chemical source, no less. It’s extraordinarily implausible that microplastics *don’t* end up in the tissues of organisms that ingest them.

Who wrote this tweet? Who gets to post in the president’s account. We all know his style and this ain’t it.

The politics of The Godfather I and II are Trumpian: cops and Senators are crudely crooked, worse than mobsters because they’re also hypocritical phonies.

He’s the anti-Souter, selected precisely because he promised never to let the law distract him from doing what was best for the Party. One of Bush Jr’s 4 great disasters, along with Iraq, Afghanistan and the crash.

Well it’s obviously not “anti-gang” when they’re a gang.

He’s taking serious blood thinners for congestive heart disease. He thinks “aspirin” sounds better.

He thinks crimes against lower class girls are trivial but opportunities to suck up to Silicon Valley parasites important.

It doesn’t even occur to her that a person might sincerely hold religious beliefs. In her world, it’s never anything but a cover for political acts.

The Financier and The Titan explain so much about modern American life, too. But man he couldn’t write dialogue.

This is Clarence Thomas’s entire philosophy of law.

I’m more convinced than ever that it was never more than an attention-getting shtick with Chomsky.

It’s just the classic academic thing of protecting his turf. Tedious, patronizing, useless.

Of course the Supreme Court has been doing this for decades and receiving only sycophantic coverage in return.

Other leagues, too. Baseball’s reinstatement of Pete Rose was an invitation.

Congress has near-absolute power over the court’s jurisdiction. We should ask if there’s *anything* the court does that can’t be done as competently and honestly by a circuit court (which, because of numbers, are harder to corrupt).

Why *hasn’t* there been an all-singing, all-dancing musical version? With the hits “Emptiness” and “That Futile Feeling.”

Obviously he means the opposite. He wouldn’t have been appointed if he had an ounce of integrity.

Two of the politicians named in the article are all-stars in New Mexico’s long and colorful history of political corruption.

A Supreme Court justice who doesn’t understand the concept of “rights,” instead applying them on a sliding scale. In K’s defense, he was probably drunk when he wrote it.

It’s difficult to understand why Cervantes is in the Democratic caucus except Republicans have more self-respect than to admit him.

They are absolutely NOT engaged in a legal enterprise. Basing decisions on politics is not fundamentally different from basing them on bribes.

Trump doesn’t believe anyone genuinely cared about anyone else. He literally can’t conceive of that possibility.

The Roberts court made Brown v Bd of Educ a dead letter and suffered no blowback for it.
