  • Don’t be so pessimistic! It really adds up if you do it enough!

    Plus, the cushy job after leaving office is the real prize. Why don’t you just go ask John Boehner? Motherfucker spent a several decade career demonizing cannabis, blocking its decriminalization and putting hundreds of thousands of people in prison for it. He was the third second(? do you count the president?) person in line of presidential succession for at least a decade (think about that). Now he works at a pro-cannabis legalization lobby group (at least as of the last time I looked. Not going to google that piece of shit right now).

    Republicans have no morals or ethics. They have no values to stand by.

    The fact that they concede that they can’t stop themselves from raping and murdering folks without some kind of threat of cosmic torture is a pretty big self-report.



  • I just can’t imagine what type of person spends their entire lives studying law and justice, applying the Constitution to real life cases, etc., and is then able to just throw that all away for a few boat trips and a vacation or two…

    Like there has to be malice here, not just incompetence. Thomas and Alito, at the very least, are purposely setting alight the Constitution they have dedicated their lives to and swore to uphold out of some form of anger or vengeance. It’s the only explanation.

    They know exactly what they are doing, probably better than anyone else on the planet given their credentials. And for what?

    It’s sickening.






  • Hey, good thing our Supreme Court just ruled that people like her (and ultimately, them) will be the ones deciding ALL OF OUR REGULATIONS.

    And stupid fucks like Boebert are actually desirable in that situation. Moreso than the more clever folks that will just get corporate lobbiests to literally write the regulations themselves for an $18k “donation” to their “campaign,” and a promise of a job after they’re voted out in two years or whatever.

    If Congress does not codify Chevron deference before Trump (or any other conservative) takes office, then kiss “the administrative state” goodbye. And if you think you’re ok with that, or have some clever retort about “bureaucracy bad,” then you’re gonna find out real quick…
