right, the bought & paid for Supreme Court will suddenly become pro the people!🙄🤦 they never even acknowledged the insurrectionist finding that made trump unable to legally hold office without congress addressing that result.So oathbreaker being sworn in is just as fake.Traitor trump propaganda.
In case some folks missed the memo, he’s first administration was a test run…. He now has the means to get around our government’s safety net, because he is installing people to help him get his way… and while we have Democrats installing more safeguards… we still have an uphill battle… we’re ready
Boundary testing, HA! They made him a king by granting him immunity. Those conservative justices are a joke and that is why the American people have such a low level of confidence in them.
3401(c) indicates that an “officer, employee, or elected official” of government is an employee for income tax withholding purposes. However, in some special cases the law or a Section 218

No. Russia owns our whole fucking government, now. Thank a Democrat for not giving a single shit, from their vacation paradises and a Republican, who though fascism was worth a try.
IDK. Lately I kinda like being oppressed and worshiping billionairess. It's really not that bad if you disassociate yourself and just comply hoping one of the oligarchs will take me in as a charity case.
The GOP have gone all in on Trump. They want a White Nationalist Christian state, where any minority "stays in its place". They want their values, their way, and no other conditions outside of what they believe is their normal.
I am worried for independent journalists and whistle-blowers.The techno-fascist reich era is going to be brutal and unprecedented. They have access to all your phone data (NSA) / tweets (X) / DMs. / WhatsApp (meta) / and have immunity so nothing is off limits. Europe has to build a garden wall FAST
You obliterate it and create your own. THAT is what you do.
Concentrate on local, independent startups like Buffalo's Investigative Post and non-profits like the @inquirer.com . Give them your time and subscribe to them.
Starve them for their complicity. Only read independent media and turn off all of the major news networks. Until they start reporting without trying to control how we think, they are bad for our mental health and violating our right to pursue happiness. Make them pay by not rewarding their behavior.
Make it make sense. The same Supreme Court gave Trump permission to ban Muslims, claiming that he had a right to protect Americans anyway he saw fit, denied Biden the right to have mask and vaccine mandates claiming he overstepped his bounds. They think that Court will restrain him? Not buying it.
Has anyone canceled their Amazon Prime account? They are so convenient, I am struggling with this one. I don't want to cut my nose off the spite my face.
I have a sum of gift cards on Amazon I am spending before years end and hope to be able to say goodbye to Prime. It would do small businesses such a huge service.
I'm thinking about canceling Amazon and purchasing from Target instead even if they are a bit more $. The issue is they don't have nearly the selection even w/ third party sellers yet.
You can shop at target for the things that they have and have the time to do it.
If you buy a ton of things throughout the year, 3-4 rush shipments pays for the Amazon prime membership. You also are directly supporting big oil every time you waste gas to drive to target.
I said buy everything you can at target. And “directly” supporting. Multiple people driving separately is less efficient than a vehicle with multiple deliveries. Boycotting Bezos is another discussion, I’m just discussing the pros from a logistics standpoint
The kids that produced our high school newspaper knew more about journalism than the knee-bending hacks at WaPo. It’s why I canceled my subscription and am not coming back.
Well, considering that the wishy-washy-post is owned by Bezos and he would have been a beneficiary of Trump's 1st term.
Saying that the Scotus is going to do nothing other than be a good lil' doggy and minimize what comes next. Would be more surprising. It's a troll alright....
No you wouldn’t. You’d still be under a monarchy. America was the example of freedom and democracy and other countries followed OUR example. America failed citizens by having no universal healthcare, but there is no guarantee the NHS would exist now if America had not gained independence.
Even though the UK is technically a monarchy, in practice it really isn't. The King/Queen title isn't much more than ceremonial at this point. Which is a good thing!
I know it is no longer a monarchy. The monarchy in the UK now is basically symbolic. But had those pilgrims not come over on the Mayflower, the monarchy in the UK may have continued on. There may never have been a United States of America with the Constitution guaranteeing rights and freedoms.
You know we're not the only ones with a Constitution that guarantees freedom, right?
And those other countries have a happier population, universal Healthcare, safeguards that keep convicted rapists and felons out of government let alone the leader of the country.
goD help us if the final guard rail for our democracy is the current SCOTUS. The strategy for the next 4 years needs to gumming up the system with lawsuits at every level to stymie Trump-47 at every turn. Not every case can be heard by SCOTUS, and so we will rely on the saner lower federal courts.
The Supreme Court that gave him immunity? That Supreme Court? Sure. Wapo is definitely a legit newspaper. Not owned by a billionaire who is thrilled to have this guy in office at all. Nothing to see here.
They barely restrained him last time, and that’s when they were half assed trying to seem like a legitimate court. They have since stopped caring about optics, and supported the claim of absolute immunity for god’s sake . So the short answer is no, no they won’t.
The Court of Koch is guilty of a coup.
They lost the 14th Amendment. Alito said he couldn't find Trumps name in it.
We have no court, and a country without a court is not a country.
SCOTUS did NOT restrain Trump at all, rather it held up his litigation and granted him, retroactively, near total immunity for everything he did wearing his president hat during his last term. I’m still waiting for Alito and Thomas to tell me where the concept of immunity for the president 1/2
Not after giving the Orange Turd immunity from crimes. The SCOTUS has to be changed!!! 13 justices with 15 year retroactive terms. Then reversal of previous egregious rulings like Dobbs, Presidential Immunity, Citizens United, Civil Rights, and more.
The Supreme Court should have been expanded to at least 15 justices. Six of the current ones have been bought and can be expected to rule in Trump's favor.
That's laughable that his Supreme Court will do anything to stop anything he wants to do - they already gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wants - as long as he makes it official. I expect some truly bizarre and frankly terrifying things he will try to do, and he's going to get away with it.
Sure, the majority corrupt, right wing, theocratic, economic power establishment loving, precedent ignoring Supreme Court, handpicked by anti-democracy conservatives, Republicans, ushered in on purely partisan votes, might emerge as a strong check on criminal, anti-democracy, fascist Republicans.
sure! and while were playing pretend, i might find a check for 25 million dollars in my mailbox tomorrow and a coupon for unlimited blowjobs from hitomi tanaka.
The @washingtonpost.com is no longer a media outlet I would consider serious as it's owner uses it as a bargaining chip to protect the taxes paid by Amazon. He will print what he is instructed to. The paper is a write off, Amazon is his cash cow. Bezos is a coward.
Washington Post is a rag IMHO. Became that way as soon as it was owned by Jeff Bezos. Certainly left no room for doubt when he stepped in and stopped a presidential endorsement based on facts and substituted his desire for profit.
No they are in his pocket. He has totalitarian power.
Boycott is the best thing we can do.
No Walmart
No X
No HomeDepot

No Tesla.

Completely shameless. With a non-partisan Supreme Court Trump would never have been allowed within a mile of power again and would now be facing justice.

my read this means mandatory FIB background cheks for all federal elected officials

Another reason why I cancelled my subscription
The GOP have gone all in on Trump. They want a White Nationalist Christian state, where any minority "stays in its place". They want their values, their way, and no other conditions outside of what they believe is their normal.
Fascism at its worst.
What do we do about the collusive press?
They do excellent work. When I want to know what's really going on, I turn to them.
Concentrate on local, independent startups like Buffalo's Investigative Post and non-profits like the @inquirer.com . Give them your time and subscribe to them.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is the newspaper.
Demand the Senate passes the PRESS Act for Pres Biden’s signature.
Vote with your dollars. Support business that aligns with your values, boycott those that don’t. That includes the sane-washing, apologist press.
What world are you living in!
If you buy a ton of things throughout the year, 3-4 rush shipments pays for the Amazon prime membership. You also are directly supporting big oil every time you waste gas to drive to target.
#Target offers delivery. But, hey, you just keep lining bezos' pockets. BTW those blue trucks use petrol, too. Good grief.
Do better.

They literally ruled there are no laws he must follow.
NONE
AT ALL

If the headline is a Question, the answer is "No."
They gave him blanket fucking immunity, assholes.
So glad I cancelled my subscription. Thanks for confirming that I made the right choice...
It applies to headlines and virtually every “teaser” on TV news.
Usually followed by “… Details after these messages!”
Boycott is the best thing we can do.

No Cyber Monday
Just drop out of all the above.
It's a
Rag pretending to be news
NOT A CHANCE...🤬
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
AND
Immunity is Restraint
This was supposed to be a warning, not a guidebook.
The Post's question is ludicrous.
Is that the same as “ blank check?”
No reputable reporter would have.
Enough is enough. 👎
Rough road ahead. Have courage and God bless. 💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💜🕊
