Any normal judge worth his ethics would be beyond embarrassed by this brazen display of corruption.

President Trump to Chief Justice Roberts, author of the presidential immunity decision: “Thank you again. I won’t forget.” Slaps him on the shoulder.

Roberts worked hard to keep Donald out of prison. Holding onto the immunity ruling until the last possible moment was a clear wink/wink. https://youtu.be/MHDtUurYDm8

Yes, and let’s also note that you do not casually yet utterly debase the Supreme Court if you expect to honor any of its eventual directives.

I’m surprised they didn’t kiss the hand

Judge Roberts doesn't have an asset that I could find that you could boycott or protest. His wife though does have a job that has offices all over the world we could probably get her fire.

I think this is more about Trump publicly saying things that can be used against him in court cases. I don't know enough about the Supremes to know if they're giggling and back slapping him, or thinking he's whacky. Hopefully mostly/all the latter.

here's an angle that captures amy's disgust:

I don’t understand why this isn’t a headline!!

Except Trump absolutely will forget the second the Court does something he doesn’t like

Yes, a mob boss thanking a corrupt judge who has done him a “favor."

Sadly, those judges will be ignored, and among the first to be removed from the bench in the not too distant future.

Gee, I wonder if that little exchange will make its way into the next CJ's Year-End Report as an example of threats to an independent judiciary. JK! I'm sure Roberts wasn't happy. tho. It's like having a guy's mistress come up to him at a party and give him a big hello kiss in front of his wife.

Nothing has been normal about this court since Citizens United.

Has Trump secretly converted to Catholicism? That would explain a lot.

What do we believe this is in regard to?

Presidential immunity

It's incredible (in a bad way) that a quick google search on John Roberts name doesn't bring return anything on this. This is quite literally the end of the democracy if the inference is true. This needs to be investigated to the fullest extent it can. Dems need to call for a hearing at least.

Roberts' legacy will be presiding over the most corrupt court in our history and opening the door to fascism in this country. And I think he's proud of that.

Are they banned yet?

We're not talking about that kind of judge here. He's bought and paid for, and he's going to deliver what Trump wants.

permosia.bsky.social•51 days ago

Brazen, yes. And also instructive. Trump still needs the S.C. He's respectful to them. Not to Rubio. There always has to be a scapegoat. And that's part of their undoing. The person can't ever be fully part of the in group so they always present with resistance. Maybe Rubio got (1/2)

permosia.bsky.social•51 days ago

2/2: 'punished' because he didn't have the 'correct' affect during last Friday's meeting.

I wish we had a barf emoji at times like this

Impeach and disbar.
