The surest sign yet that the political winds are blowing against Trump on this one, since Johnson is not only a weather vane, but a coward.

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump … in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today’s order is the 7th with no explanation at all.

The explanation is very simple - the conservarive majority is so entirely corrupt, compromised and lawless, and their rulings such a direct reflection of that, that they can’t even manage to pretend that there’s any legitimate basis for anything they do.

…to protect children.

You can tell that that’s bullshit by the fact that they repeat it over and over.

"intimate” information that isn’t of “legitimate concern to the public.”

You know - things like charges, payment methods, offshore bank accounts, preferred vacation destinations, scheduling private jet flights…

Obviously they not only laid off the wrong people, but kept the wrong people.

Yet another reminder that the President of the United States is profoundly mentally ill and undeniably unfit for office.

Alligator Auschwitz.

Also, fuck Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We likely wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place if she and the DNC hadn’t sabotaged Sanders in 2016.

Bullshit.

The thing that five day workweeks won’t fund is obscene pay packages for executives.

The problem is that the corporations have no incentive to not pay the extortion money.

If Paramount had, as anyone with any integrity at all would have, told Trump to go fuck himself, the Toddler-in-chief would thrown everything he could get his tiny little hands on at them, and they would’ve ended up paying far more than $16 million trying to fend it off. So instead, they just cut President Shitbag a check, and now he’ll (supposedly) rubber stamp the merger they want.

The responsibility for bringing that loathsome bag of pus to justice falls on someone else - the other two branches of the government. And they’re cowardly, complicit and corrupt.

The Supreme Court doesn’t even bother pretending to be upholding the law or the Constitution any more. The conservative majority is wholly owned by the same autocratic scumbags who are backing Trump, and they self-evidently see themselves as having one and only one mission - to give that reeking piece of shit whatever he wants no matter what sort of illogic and lies they have to use.

And in Congress, the Republicans are lining up to suck the rapist’s deformed dick in the hope of getting to play a role in the oligarchy to come, and the Democrats are entirely focused on destroying the leftists in their midst so that they can continue gorging themselves on conservative soft money in exchange for doing nothing.

So the profoundly mentally ill and brazenly criminal piece of shit who’s stinking up the Oval Office is free to do whatever the hell he wants because every single person who might be able to do something about it is one or another sort of piece of shit themselves, with the only minor distinction being whether they’re corporate pieces of shit or judicial pieces of shit or congressionsl pieces of shit.

That was when it kicked off in earnest.

I still think that if there’s one single person who deserves more of the blame than anyone else for Trump becoming president in the first place, it’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

But they can’t focus on big tech after all the robber barons lined up to pay protection money to Trump.

Unfortunately, the establishment Dems have the desires of the voters in one hand and they’re weighing that against hundreds of millions of dollars in soft money in the other, and so far the money has an uninterrupted win streak.

And Gilibrand has already clearly signaled which side she favors.

Why?

Oh FFS. Do you really not know?

This, just like so many other things in our current society, is simply a direct result of the fact that over the last few decades, the system as a whole has shifted sway from the well-being of the many and toward the privilege of the wealthy and powerful few.

Put bluntly, younger people aren’t partying (or having children, or buying homes, or planning careers, or supporting establishment political parties, or even going outside much) because the earlier generations have turned the US into a toxic shithole run by and for lying, greedy assholes, so the younger people see no reason to plan or hope and no opportunity to even really look up from their day-to-day gig economy scramble just to fucking survive and the handful of things they can afford to do to wind down from that scramble.

You want to do something about it? Stop raining shit down on them. Tax the fucking billionaires, shut down the student loan opportunists and the health insurance opportunists and the housing opportunists and all the other pieces of shit enjoying government-enabled privilege on the backs of the common people, and do what you can to turn the US back into a place where ordinary people vould have some hope, instead of just facing a life of underpaid drudgery just so that some fucking billionaire who owns a stable of politicians can buy more mansions and a bigger yacht.

And if you can’t be bothered to di that, then you’re just going to have to accept the fact that the people on whom you’re raining down shit are increasingly hopeless, and that has consequences.

Those are just stock standard price support tariffs - solely meant to increase the sane prices for foreign products so that the obscenely overpriced American ones can compete.

Self-awareness really isn’t your strong suit, is it?

When I wrote my predictions of the destruction and suffering that Trump’s presidency is going to bring and that you’re not going to recognize it until it’s too late, your response was “I’m set for the rest of my life, but thx for the concern!”

You think that’s not revealing?
