So do the robes have kneepads built in these days or do they have to get them altered special?
Rugburn on the knees is a sign of loyalty, no kneepads.
Republicans: Make themselves above the Law while Endangering US National Security. Also Republicans: Why are people trying to Assassinate us?
Seems like they’re making a whole list of crimes Biden can get away with though…
No, it’s still illegal for Biden, it’s only legal when a Republican does it.
It wouldn’t shock me if SCOTUS calls take backsies if a Democrat ever gets back into office.
They already did! The ‘presidential immunity’ ruling they recently made basically said that if a President does it, we (SCOTUS) will decide if it is an official act, and if it is, then the Prez is blameless, but if we say the act isn’t ‘official’ then WE will tell you the Prez is a baddie.
The senate literally did this with appointing a Supreme Court Justice during an election year. That’s how Amy got put in place.
appointing a Supreme Court Justice during an election
yearFTFY. Voting had already started when they rammed the handmaid in there to replace Ginsburg.
Fascists rely on you being a decent person in indecent times. They’re counting on Biden not using the full extent of the powers the office of the President has been granted because it’s so far beyond the pale.
Nah in tiny print somewhere you’ll find it says only allowed to be done by republicans
America is just shouting out of every place: “Down with democracy, down with the constitutional rule of law! Hail to a fascist state!” And still the biggest discussion is about some fumbling and age.
An authoritarian dictatorship is so clearly in your furure if you guys don’t wake up and spend your energy fighting against THIS instead of one another.
The rest of the world is really relying on you not to fuck this up.
Please?
The rest of the world is really relying on you not to fuck this up.
America: Hold my beer…
Some of us are doing shit, while some of our peers are still huffing farts about the DNC in 2016

If just everybody would get up and vote!
I just saw a post about Trump gaining and now leading in every swingstate.
Its the same with the shift to the right in Europe. There are just too many people uninterested in politics or not voting because they don’t like any of the candidates. These are the people who have to wake up and understand that democracy is at stake and that they are responsible for it, if they don’t vote! The extremists will ALL be out there voting so we can’t really allow ourselves to be indifferent.
Lets all just follow France as an example.
What a nonsense decision, it should be appealed at the very least
Edit a lot has happened so let’s bring some context to this: Hilary Clinton was derided as unfit for presidency because she had a secure server in her private space for emails, some of which were classified.
Meanwhile, Trump literally had boxes of classified documents in a bathroom. Republicans are duplicitous, hypocritical and should not be expected to operate on good will.
Or if they’re not, then they should show some objectivity and apply the same standards everywhere. What a bunch of clowns
It will be appealed… assuming Trump doesn’t win and tear the justice department to shreds.
some of which were classified.
But not properly marked as such per DOD regulations when sent to her.
Buttery males
Ah, the sweet sound of corruption. What a nice gift from someone appointed by Trump to a powerful and well-paid position. I can hear Anastacia singing on the judges’ radio: “I paid my dues.”
In a ruling Monday, Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution.
“In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny,” Cannon wrote.
So she wants a judge to say an investigator can be appointed to gather information to take to a judge?
This is obviously just some Sneeches bullshit. You could just as well argue before it can be brought to a judge, an investigation needs to be done to gather evidence.
So I guess more like chicken and egg.
Honestly, I’m surprised she didn’t just say it was legal because he was still the president since the election was a fraud and the president can do things like that.
They can’t say that because of terms limits.
Ooooh I bet that stings lol
Yeah our county is getting worse. You really stuck it to me! I hope you realize that it’s getting worse for you too. Next time a Democrat commits a crime they have a way out of it now. That’s not really something I wanted and I don’t think you really do either.
No, these cronies only let their team off the hook.
Yep every American patriot hates the corrupt pieces of trash “judges” that the traitor installed, as they are ripping apart the rule of law and destroying the illusion of a justice system in favor of a felon.
Enjoy your fascist bootlicking, you absolute piece of anti-American trash.
Calm down, lunitic.
English as a second language must be hard for you to grasp.
Oh, this is going to go over well.
Why arent Americans on the street right now? Isnt this one of those situations of use it or loose it (in terms of rights)?
Mostly because I’m trying to survive and get to the next day. I do not have the financial or social safety net required to do so. Really it’s the latter that is the problem. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted a year. It wasn’t a quick one and done kind of thing. As a society we are much less socially connected than we were in the past and we don’t really have other people to rely on.
I agree with what you are saying, by not marching in the streets I am part of the problem. I don’t know man, shit is fucked. I’m doing what I can but it’s not much.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up like one of the White Rose. It hasn’t even been a century since then, smh.
Fuck
Look i understand individual situations. But its hard for me to belive that between 300M Americans no one has a sunday off.
That’s my point. A single day isn’t likely going to do anything.
One day is still better than 0 days. What you are saying is: we tried nothing and nothing worked.
Right now they are thinking that people dont care. A massive protest would say to them that you are paying attention, and you dont like it. Also, would embolden the democrats into taking action.
Someone already tried to off Trump. What more do you want out of us?
Personally, I want everyone to get off their ass, pay attention, and vote in every election.
We should not be deciding who leads with a gun.
Americans have strong feelings about creeping fascism and like to bitch on social media but that’s about the extent of it. They’re too downtrodden and distracted to do much else. In France if they raise tuition 2% the whole country takes to the streets, riots ensue, cars are burnt. In the US, jaw dropping acts of fascism, cronyism, and corruption happen daily and beyond rage posting it’s mostly crickets. At least there is protesting at the RNC.
I only get two weeks paid leave a year. Can’t afford to miss work because I need my house more. Live in a reddest of red states where my votes never mean anything. Legitimately I have never voted for anyone that has won.
Don’t stop voting.
You know, I’m beginning to think this judge Cannon isn’t impartial.
Fuck this timeline.
Of course it was Cannon…
OK, so hand it over to Garland and start from scratch. Not like the facts change, only the prosecutor’s name.
Sure, if he doesn’t win the election. If he does, this case goes away.
In the immunity case, when all the other judges were writing opinions about that case, Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion about a totally different case, this one. He was signaling her to dismiss the case.
I’m so sick of these corrupt motherfuckers
Holy fuck.
Quite honestly, something like this has been pretty obviously coming from the get go. Cannon has consistently made no effort to hide the fact that she’s bought and paid for and was presiding over the case in bad faith.
The US are really speedrunning the whole “become a global laughing stock”, huh? How ironic that the cause of banana republics would itself become one.
When Costa Rica sends peacekeeping troops here will be the best punchline.
I wouldn’t be laughing. Fascist states, after their internal purges, tend to need to expand. After these fuckers take over America, they’ll come for the rest of the world.
As a Canadian, I do not want to redo the War of 1812 with more weapons.
Trump won’t win, especially not after his VP pick.
Oh c’mon man how naive can you be? Between Biden fumbling through debates that should’ve been child’s play and constantly forgetting names, and this guy getting martyred for not getting shot in the face, I’m sorry to say but this race won’t even be close.
(And that VP pick? People who are going for the main attraction called Trump aren’t going to give a rats ass about the VP pick.)

Your lips to God’s ears
The Staged Assassination Attempt kinda decided he would already.
Everyone kept saying that in 2016 too. Don’t underestimate him and his mindless following.
We stopped laughing a long time ago.
ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.
