They spent decades stacking the courts to dictate the rule of law and make any of their actions nice and legal.

They spent decades establishing a propaganda machine so support wouldn't wain as they upgrade the dog whistles to dog sirens and implement a Christian Fascism dictatorship.

Why anyone is surprised by this is the deeply troubling part.

I mean it’s not the only deeply troubling part, but having grown up attending many youth oriented religious events that constantly preached stacking the courts, electing strong Christian leaders, and generally ‘taking back America for Jesus’, I’m not surprised at all but I am terrified

Another blaring conflict of interest has struck the supreme court.

Good thing there’s a well regulated militia under the impression that it’s raison d’être is to prevent a malicious government.

Edit: is

did you say "prevent" instead of "support"?

Thanks,

-the militia

How is that a “house owned by Justice Alito” not “Justice Alito’s house”?

He probably has multiple houses

Does that make it not his house?

If it's a rental property, you would own it but maybe not consider it "your house" colloquially

It wouldn’t be your home. It would still be your house.

Ok? I'm not defending this shit bag, just trying to explain the weird headline phrasing.

No way he's flying his own flag on a rental property. That'd be insane. As a landlord, I can tell you none of my tenants the past 10+ years would have ever allowed for something like that.

That'd be insane

My guy that's the point of this whole post. He's insane.

Alito should move to fucking Russia and take all the MAGATs with him.

How much does he weigh, and how sturdy is that flagpole? I’m just asking questions

I miss when we would publicly eliminate insurrectionists.

if there had been an ounce of melanin in that crowd, it would have been a blood bath.

It sucks nothing will be done about this. Dude should be removed.

So the pine tree is their swastika, got it, good to know.

Photo?

So, yeah. AP says the Times has 3 pictures. Where that at? Where's the evidence and WTF is an Appeal to Heaven Flag?

Surely that country can be fixed with voting. Another blue term is everything that’s needed to stop this decades long plunge into idiocracy.

Voting is certainly not going to fix all our problems, but another trump term would make them unimaginably worse.

We actually have a shot at retaking the Supreme Court this cycle, but if Republicans win we'll be saddled with decades of this madness.

How come then you’re already stuck in “decades of madness”?

It's really fucking simple:

Don't stop pushing when the voting is finished.

That's it. Work together even after all the lines close.
