WOW! Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts REBUKES Trump, saying "impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision." Trump had posted earlier that Judge Boasberg should be impeached. AT LAST!

Don’t be fooled. Robert’s is just as plausibly signaling ‘let the appeals process play out, it’s me at the final opportunity.’ Some basic due process is cool and all, but this is where that process is preferentially available to fascists and rules of evidence are ignored.
John Roberts having his come to Jayzuss Find Out moment is delicious to watch. Squirm. You're next. He'll get rid of the Supreme Court altogether now that you got him installed as dictator and he no longer needs you.
If Trump keeps this shit up, the supreme court should just do what they did in 2000 with the election and declare Harris the winner of it. Quite a little late for it but Trump's legit just ASKING to get removed.
tRump will say something nasty about him on Truth Social and 3 days from now, Justice Roberts will be dinning with tRump at Mar-A-Lago with a photo of both them with their thumbs up.
Seems like something has finally gotten to the Chief Justice, his own vulnerability.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Did he wag his "no-no finger" at him before ruffling his hair and saying, "Alright, Champ, you know the score. Now get out there and have fun!" Because that is about what Roberts is worth to the American people.
Is it? Are you sure? Are we watching the same horror show? Americans have embraced fascism. I would expect that the judiciary would come down hard on him. If this was a Democratic president, Roberts reply would be much harsher. Americans are so fucked right now. Social Security? Bye bye.
I hear you. I am terrified by what I am seeing and I am consumed by it. I am well aware of how dangerous things are and that we are in the scariest position we have ever been in as a country. I still will take any small act of resistance, especially from those I least expect it from.
Doesn't mean I don't acknowledge the utterly horrible position we are in and that I'm not resisting in every way I can. I also need to find hope in every small act of resistance, though. We are on the same side here.
I am watching and reading the response from Americans. It's tepid, at best. I suggest that to get your country back, that you push harder than the Republicans, but I don't see it. Yet. Best of luck.
I don’t praise him for doing the bare minimum here. He helped create this monster. He also helped run out the clock so this man could become President again and not be in jail.
So yes we all take a breath, but what does it say that Chief Justice had to weigh it? I think it says, this administration is pushing as hard as they can for whatever they can get, constitution be dammed.

Now it's coming to eat them.
