Very interesting. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn’t watch last night, thought I might stroke out if I did.
Your observations and explanations are always insightful and appreciated.
And this is its highlight. Roberts cutting in front of the other three justices and everyone else in line to leave, walking fast and not looking at *anyone*, foretold today's nation-saving order.
Heck ... I even got the timing of its release right! I posted yesterday that I thought Roberts might be waiting until after Trump's speech to release the order.
The aspect of Trump v US that I discuss here, on the *actual* threshold question re DOGE/Musk, seems right, now:
SCOTUS has created its own Frankenstein- made him a King, gave him an Elliott Ness Untouchable status, extended him an unleashing power that will soon diminish, disintegrate, & devalue your role in American culture. MAGA's already at odds w/Amy Coney Barrett. SCOTUS men, sorry but, show some balls!
It's a sad day when an old man who is clearly out of touch with reality rambles on and on for more than 90 minutes and his friends egg him on with applause rather than take away his keys and see that he gets the help he so desperately needs.
"I'm sorry but that's clearly the sort of cruel and unusual punishment the Constitution forbids" - Judge Alito, writing for the 6-3 majority, Trump v. Boylan (2026)
There has NEVER been any substance in Donald Trump.
He has ALWAYS been not much more than a cardboard narcissistic facade of cosmetically-treated bombastic bluster with barely the minimum framework to support it.
Joyce, thank you for the concise take on the speech. Also, thank you for watching so I didn't have to. I can't stand to look at or listen to this traitorous criminal.

Usually I watch, including the rebuttal, regardless of who’s in office.
This time I made it for 15 minutes, had to leave the room.
I guess derangement syndrome is real.
Watching him speak feels like being strapped into a feeding chair and force fed raw sewage !
And the two clowns behind him, oh god
It is significant that #Trump has already lost the support of #Murdoch-owned publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, and his UK paper The Sun.
Some #Fox News anchors are starting to criticize him too.
Let’s hope old Rupert finally realizes the danger he helped to unleash.
That's my favourite part of your text:
Milley subsequently apologized, saying "My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics."
That man is a true patriot. I'm so sad tRump made him a pariah.
It wasn't necessary to watch ANY of it. Not one new thing (I'm certain). I have avoided watching that jackass for ten years and don't have the stomach to start watching now.
I've been able to keep up perfectly without hearing a single word from his vile mouth.
If I have to pick a favorite line of the speech it would be—Trump: “And we have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if everything goes wrong.”
I agree, but if you do that then you have Mike Johnson as the one next in line. If anything, you wait until Democrats take over the house and you have Jeffries as speaker. Then you impeach both and Jeffries steps into the White House
Johnson is 100% a Russian master he is all out, they need to arrest: Johnson,Trump, Musk,Miller, Vance,Rubio and Russell Vought, Patel, Hegseth. Gabbard and Bondi. Then go straight to the Supreme Court Justices "there is no need to show anymore proof they are American-Russian traitors! CLEAN HOUSE!
I heard this theory and thought no dad could be that despicable to be endangering their own child. Yet, he supports Nazis and taking food from babies, taking healthcare from seniors, firing workers with glee. So if one dies, he’s got 13 others and multiple women to inseminate? Yea, he's satan.
The close-up clip of ACB's face as trump thanks his Supreme Court justices really says it all.
Roberts will be remembered as the mitch mcconnell of the SCOTUS forever.
John Roberts looked like he was going to weep when Trump said, "Thank you. I'll remember that."
How exactly will Trump *remember* John Roberts keeping him out of jail? How can anyone trust a system where the Chief Executive and the Chief Justice appear to have an arrangement to help each other?
Justice Robert’s boogied outta there after Trump grabbed his arm trying to praise him again. It’s obvious Trump owns Roberts. Clarence the pile of horseshit no where to be seen again or his beautiful wife!
Dems, create a Corp for America, a group of citizens who want to build the economy AND reduce fraud & waste. Talk to citizens, be the calm, be there to help. Be the opposite of DOGE. Use 18F & Mark Cuban to build a website. Be inclusive not progressive. Get on the ground, meet and listen.
Dems - change the focus from Trump & focus on grocery prices and affordable housing, SS, Medicare, health care. Have some Dems be the screamers about the horrors of Trump, have some who focus on current policy & what Dems are doing to keep programs and then have those in the field.
What the hell are the Dems doing? Nothing but show their weakness. They should be flooding the airwaves and newspapers with FACTS. Also, not a bad idea if they all Booed everything rumpT said. Enough with "decorum." Show your contempt and disgust!
Dems need to get out across the country & meet constituents, both Reps & Dems, listen to what they say. Usurp Trump’s “common sense.” Right now you are preaching to the choir, go out & start bringing people into the folds. Be like Stacey Abrams, get out there. Have Elissa Slotkin talk. Use Kamala.
I am all for the Dems but it was also hard to watch them last night. They all looked like angry moms with disapproving resting bitch faces and holding props like it was a Photo Booth @stephencolbert.bsky.social got it right w his own paddle saying, “Do Something.”
How can anyone show respect for all those who so easily lower their own standards. Have a hard time with that. I have been through many things in my life, and I could never celebrate another's death. These people are inhuman. How do you cheer children dying and homeless. It's a bad dream.

"thank you again, thank you again. I wont forget."
We won't forget either.
Thank you for that much needed analysis.
Disagree. There was plenty of substance in last night’s speech and it was all abhorrent.
Photo prop for the dumb magats ? Why?

additionally, the clip you embedded does NOT show Trump's hard hand slap

Weak ethics policies and lack of accountability will never detox justices from good times with oligarchs.
I'm surprised Trump's hard handshake with Kavanaugh was not mentioned.
There is no other conclusion to this fiasco.
