The one silver lining of the Roberts Court is that it will destroy the credibility of the Supreme Court to such an extent that liberals can no longer believe that it will be our salvation.

SCOTUS majority not deigning to give *any* reasons for staying the injunction of the district court - in the highest-possible stakes context & where the executive branch has acted appallingly - evincing real contempt for both district courts & the rule of law

If you think the courts are going to stop MAGA Facism, you're dreaming. Trump's SCOTUS will rubberstamp everything. Next up, planeloads of deportees dumped off in South Sudan. After that, planeloads of US citizens who dare to protest. After that, canceling the midterm elections.

Bottom line is that if you haven't voted yet, please go out to vote tomorrow in the primary and DO NOT RANK CUOMO. I'll be out in the heat wave NOT RANKING HIM. We need to turn the page in this city.

AI is for people who really enjoy sitting and looking at blinking lights. People who are on the same level intellectually. As the machine. Some of them even fool the machine into thinking they are machines. When the machine can accurately identify all humans. That is true AI.

When in London, NYC and elsewhere we see so many homeless people, maybe some changes need to be made to the type of capitalism we have today.

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Considered calling my new literary journal the devil’s trident but then I thought what if the doublemint twins come for me. And I wouldn’t like that.

Comedy is all about timing. And being marooned on an island. Where there is no hanky-panky. None.

It’s like Mick Jagger says you can’t always get the war crimes tribunal you want, but you can try real hard. You can try. Oh yes you can try. Try them all.

Anyway may F around and start a literary journal. Yesterday I was thinking about calling it BLAST. Or maybe TIME BOMB which is a bomb in time. Did you diffuse the bomb in time? Might call it DESIRE IN CHAINS because you never get what you want.

When politicians are afraid of, pretty much everything, shadows, the fact that they are not afraid of voters is a really stinging indictment to the voters.

I call my Democratic Senators every day. Every day. And I tell them since they’re not fighting Trump they need to resign. You should be doing the same.

Don’t like the Supreme Court? Thank Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Democratic cult of do nothing stay in office forever and then who cares.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

It’s the god‘s honest truth liberals: Aim your anger at your own leadership if you want there to be change in this country. Your own leadership is preventing it. If you enjoy this present condition. Then by all means. Tell them they are doing a good job.

Someone read one of my books and said to me, "Fucking hell, how did you manage to keep ALL THAT in your head?" I told them it's actually extremely simple and anyone can do it. You just need to forget everything else important in your life and totally stop functioning as a human for a year or so.

Our money was used to bomb a country for another country which takes more of our money from us every year.

Cool that the U.S. president has a brain like an expired pudding, so actual American policy is being steered by the brand of Christians who think that biblical commands about practicing charity and compassion are “metaphorical” and “up for interpretation” while the book of Revelation is literal fact

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

It is important to remember that Democrats and Republicans do have something in common they both cherish photos of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She means an awful lot to both of them.

It is important to remember that Amy Schumer is also doing nothing to defeat Trump. Runs in the family.
