people need to keep writing about this. make it a huge news story. force them to confront it. make them say it again and again

Imagine the reaction if Biden arrested Kavanaugh for his sexual allegations

oldpolitics.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope he's thinking about Alito and Thomas and wife but somehow i doubt it.

sunnythehoney.bsky.social•6 days ago

Buckle up babe cuz he gonna do this thing. Its war time... they call it a trade war but uh its different

heiz16.bsky.social•6 days ago

Which would be ironically fitting considered five or six of them enabled this shit show.

kylora2112.bsky.social•6 days ago

She only means the women and maybe one of the guys that pisses them off a little more than the others.

niapsaka.bsky.social•6 days ago

I assume there's a better than even chance that guy would be a Trump appointee.

bigdook.bsky.social•6 days ago

I mean shit, they basically gave him the power to do it. Fucking morons.

litzz11.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope the ones that voted to give Trump immunity are shitting in their boxers right now because they brought this on.

pemo.bsky.social•6 days ago

They‘re eating popcorn, I guess

editr.bsky.social•6 days ago

that would be the point of no return. what is the red line that will wake of republicans in congress? I fear not even this would do it

deliarn.bsky.social•6 days ago

I wonder how proud of himself that fkr McConnell is right now..

1gregory.bsky.social•6 days ago

Fucking Whore….she should hang with all the rest!

austinhippiechick.bsky.social•6 days ago

Leavitt certainly is an idiot. Between Trump publicly thanking Roberts for keeping that traitor out of jail, his regime arresting a judge, then publicly declaring that he would arrest a SCOTUS Justice, I hope smug CJ Roberts is finally awake to the danger the 9 & SCOTUS's reputation are in.

Is this Rusty Cage's design? The blade connection looks familiar

megaytron.bsky.social•6 days ago

I mean Kavanaugh and Thomas should definitely be in prison, but still.

kittenbitten.bsky.social•6 days ago

Alito

gortess.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yup, looks like we've reached the kill the lawyers phase of the coup.

notaboomer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or at least the grounds for a stern Chuck Schumer letter

lunaticsandwich.bsky.social•6 days ago

After his floor speech lecturing the leftmost Democrats about why his vote to give Trump the power to do this was the right thing to do.

seamiracles.bsky.social•6 days ago

Susan Collins might even co-sign!!!! She might also furrow her brow!!!

june-egbert.bsky.social•6 days ago

woah, let's not go crazy.

she'll furrow her brow but she's not putting her name on anything that might potentially lead to eventually getting some sort of results

jainabledsoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

MY GOD, you both made me chuckle

oldtechlady.bsky.social•6 days ago

Her level of concern would be off the scale.

And Democrats still wouldnt make use of the 2nd amendment.

filomenapop.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not even true

transmutedmala.bsky.social•6 days ago

Alejandra, in your opinion, can institutional power claw us back for this, or is overthrowing MAGA in a revolution the only way? I have resisted accelerationist rhetoric for most of my life, but if institutions cannot save us, dispensing with the facade seems like a galvanizing step

antifaniagara.bsky.social•6 days ago

You can't protest fascism away once it has its grip (and it does).

The US citizenry is not stopping anything at this point, or even slowing it down but, if they tried, martial law would be enacted.

THEN the only recourse is an actual rising up of people against this regime.

jainabledsoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hate to say it, but martial law is coming regardless of whether protest is peaceful or not.

antifaniagara.bsky.social•6 days ago

From what we've been seeing, I'm not shocked by that in the least. But if the people push back, it'll happen even faster.

jainabledsoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'm not afraid for a revolution. I'm EAGER.

transmutedmala.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’d be interested in a non-violent solution if possible. Often when society falls into violence, a dictator comes out one way or another. The quasi-static approach IS good, but only if it’s possible.

That’s why I asked what I asked. We need to know if institutions have the capacity or if it’s dead

bigruckus8.bsky.social•6 days ago

Did anybody follow up with a question? Like “what the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

martyolliff.bsky.social•6 days ago

1) Appaling
2) Do NOT make me defend John Roberts

cassieb23.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would there be a stand-off between FBI and US Marshalls?

jmcintire.bsky.social•6 days ago

Roberts has assured his boss Miller that SCOTUS can manage its caseload with only 6, no worries.

apopularmonster.bsky.social•6 days ago

Here's what we do if that happens:

smashmagagame.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's complicated, cuz since when are judges really on the people's side?

lordmimey.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bullshit. Trump can barely do a flight of stairs, let alone have the energy to actually arrest someone himself.

claire90.bsky.social•6 days ago

How is this in any way relevant?

lordmimey.bsky.social•6 days ago

I was being facetious and taking the headline literally, that Trump *himself* would arrest SCOTUS justices (rather than say ordering the DOJ to arrest them).

claire90.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's the internet, you need a sarcasm tag. People do really be that dumb.

lordmimey.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah fair fair, I try and make my jokes pretty obvious but it don't always *look* like I'm joking well enough.

claire90.bsky.social•6 days ago

My autistic ass is bad with this, because while yes I agree this level of absurdity should be a joke, there are idiots who would say this with their whole chest.

spacekaiju0078.bsky.social•6 days ago

The first one they arrest without legitimate cause (or political stance), we make citizens arrest in one of their activist judges, or as many as we can gather up

chickenlady.bsky.social•6 days ago

And you have Roberts to thank

spriddler.bsky.social•6 days ago

Indeed it would be. It would start out as a nation wide bleeding Kansas event with several thousand nuclear weapons up for grab. Trump voters voted for dictatorship. I doubt they'll get that without a civil war.

wboler.bsky.social•6 days ago

lmao lets see if they want to rethink their little ruling last year

dogsbody1524.bsky.social•6 days ago

jmcjimbob.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why aren't we there now?!

We're kidnapping brown people off the streets and sending them out of the country with no due process.

We're arresting judges now.

In a few months there won't be anything on store shelves.

Do our kids have to starve before people are ready?

jainabledsoe.bsky.social•6 days ago

Everyone is waiting for them to shoot a civilian protester on video. Then people decide whether to cower or rise. I hate to admit that, but to cross the line of basically turning traitor to the current government in power is no light decision. It needs to cook.

eclecticspirit.bsky.social•6 days ago

Leavitt needs to go to prison too.

cliftonbarnhart.bsky.social•6 days ago

You’re fun.

tigerfan519.bsky.social•6 days ago

Once upon a time... I was inclined to give Leavitt leeway for being a neophyte as the President's Press Secretary .

But she's not naive nor ignorant to the damage her comments inflict in support of Trump.

She'll likely never rise to this stature again because she seeks to scam America w/ him.

thrivewell.bsky.social•6 days ago

This kkkaroline is a joke! I mean, what is she willing to say next? That she would personally go arrest them herself with her baby in arms and her 85 yo husband in tow? Can we all agree she’s a loser and deserves zero airtime?

teambrenda.bsky.social•6 days ago

WTF!
