Or they could do what Marco Rubio did. Book yourself into a 5-star resort for a family vacation (with a government issued credit card) ~ and blame your wife for making a mistake.

The U.S. Supreme Court is already a snake in the grass so what's another scam here and there to round out their record,

LAMP

Yes, and if Mr. Putin had checked the receipts in his Defense Budget, he might have found that there was a skunk in the woodpile ~~ namely, his Defense Minister, (and BFF) Sergei Shoigu, who, for the past 20 years had embezzling billions of dollars that Mr. Putin thought was modernizing his Army for just this one special occasion.

His legacy ~ the restoration of the former U.S.S.R to its former power and glory.

How embarrassing to have one's legacy destroyed by one's best friend.

So much for hiring friends and family. Poor judgment!

How many knees would the "Dem" have to cap to get any of this done. As long as Republicans control Congress and the Supreme Court

Of course, President Biden could act like Trump and start banging some heads together or start dirty smear rumors or threaten to burn down their houses or send thugs to terrorize their kids.

Is that what some of you would prefer? Really!

Bottom line, President Biden is hamstrung as long as some of you keep voting for the same people, year after year, who are responsible for this mess.

In case you're payblocked by the NYT, here's what the editorial says:

"Make use of the constitutional system. It can impeach and remove justices. It can increase or decrease the size of the court itself (at its inception, the Supreme Court had only six members). It can strip the court of its jurisdiction over certain issues or it can weaken its power of judicial review by requiring a supermajority of justices to sign off on any decision that overturns a law. Congress can also rebuke the court with legislation that simply cancels the decision in question."

Welcome to the Goodship Lollypop.

I don't doubt that any of this is true . . but they left out the "if only" part.

YODAGIRL

I have another hope . . . that Clarence Thomas is forced to resign and Justice Stephen Breyer retires while President Biden is still in office.

It would be helpful if a few disgraced/indicted/convicted Republicans Senators involved in January 6 follow the same path.

Need I even mention names?

YODAGIRL

The U.S. Supreme Court and the Republican Party is well aware of the can of worms it has opened. I can tell you from my experience with the hapless and desperate (often suicidal) young women back in the 60's prior to Roe that the Republican Partys only cares about keeping abortions out of sight, as in . . . if they can't see it, it didn't happen.

YODAGIRL

The horror stories never ended until Roe. Another young woman I knew from the 60's was pregnant with twins. The veterinarian at the local thoroughbred race track was selling a pill called Black Beauty that was used to abort pregnant mares.

One twin aborted, the other one was carried to full term but had brain damage. She died at the age of two.

Another pregnant girl I knew went to a doctor in Weirton, WV who was doing illegal abortions in his office prior to Roe. He forced her to have sex with him before he performed the abortion.

There used to be a flashy nightclub in Pittsburgh, PA. called the Beau Brummel. One of the frequent patrons there was a disbarred doctor (habitual drunk) who was offering abortion to the cocktail waitresses. Two died from botch abortions. He was caught and prosecuted.

SNOOFY

"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a... checks notes.. bad ---- with a coat hanger."

The U.S. Supreme Court has opened the door to another era of cottage industries. I remember what it was like before Roe. It was my college roommate. If I had not come straight home that day, she would have bled to death on the floor.

Has any prominent Republican stepped up to admit that Males are necessary to deliver -----.

Not that anyone has noticed. But that indisputable fact isn't far behind. We've seen one ruling targeting women exclusively. It won't be long before the religious right (particularly Catholics) will be pushing for ALL forms of male contraception, including vasectomy, to be declared illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Since I singled out Catholics, I suspect their only anti-abortion (and probably anti-contraception, too) stance is to guarantee themselves an income from future 10% tithers.

Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, all religions are control freaks and money mongers.

One has to wonder which dependent country is going to step up and send Mr. Putin a care package. Or perhaps China will pay in advance for future shipments, like they've done in the past.

Sorry, BOAZ. How insensitive of me. Next time I'll use the word subjugate instead of enslave.

A vote for ANY Republican running for office in ANY capacity is a vote for the very people who want to enslave you. A vote for a Republican is a vote for your jailer.

Wise up, righties.

If the belief is that U.S. Supreme Court justices are now "kings," then the solution is to stop voting for the political party that appoints them to act like "kings." i.e Republicans!

The same thing goes for federal judges, congress, presidents . . . and on down the line to each individual state, county or city elections.

Boebert had no business tweeting anything about Pelosi at all unless Boebert considered herself an active participant in the insurrection.

If that means paying their legal bills, as has already been reported, the answer is YES!

Sidney Powell is part of the subversion conspiracy.

Trump is a user and an abuser. Ya' just KNOW he's going to throw Clark under the bus.

Not that Clark didn't set himself up for it.

What are the chances he's going to squeal to the Committee on Trump, Eastman and Perry to save himself ~~ now that the FBI and the DOJ has him on their radar?

I have a question about this headline.

Is requesting a pardon different than inquiring about a pardon?

If I was a prosecutor, I think I'd want to close all those exit ramps if someone claimed an inquiry is different than a request.

I know that doesn't change the intent, but I'd think a "request" would be in a more formal format. Otherwise, a phone call to a staffer is just a fishing expedition.

EARTHMUSE

Trump seems to like tangled webs and the chaos they create around him. He seems to believe confusion keeps people offguard.

This new development has given me food for thought.

Pending the investigation of filming all of Trump's travels and exploits, I wonder if Vladimir Putin has grounds for a Breach of Contract.

Don't be too sure. The NY Attorney General and the Manhattan DA are giving it a try. A number of civil cases in New York overlap Federal violations, especially in banking,
taxes and insurance fraud.

To add to his woes, all of Trump's assets, including partnerships, could end up in a court ordered receivership and sold to pay off his debts, including banks he scammed and the loans Russia co-signed for him. We're talking $billions$ ~ not millions.

With nothing coming in and everything going out, that would be pretty close to "Doom" for a guy like Trump who depends on money to buy his way out of consequences.

Anyway, that's my pipe dream to spell the doom of Donald Trump.

MODER8

"For love of truth, rightwingers, stop with this lie already."

They're in too deep, MOD. Once Trump has been properly disposed of, the most we can hope for is that his flunkies will slither away a few at a time.

I might add that putting Trump in prison won't work either. That will just give his rioters a new platform from which to squawk. As long as Trump has a voice, even one in disgrace, that will be good enough to stage more violence.

No, Trump has to be broken into a thousand pieces and put away in a dark place where his screams can't be heard. Maybe in Hell.

Don't panic. A bi-partisan Congress has finally found its moral backbone concerning the powerful NRA lobby. It looks like a federal gun law is going to trump (no pun intended) state law.

This Supreme Court decision looks more like a "cover our conservative ass" decision, knowing that so many Republicans on board with Biden's gun legislation will be taking the heat instead of them.

This film is going to be dissected and biopsied cell by cell by the forensics experts at MSNBC. They're hot on the trail ~ (or after Trumps tail) ~ 24/7. MSNBC is THE place to watch to get the truth.

Rachael Maddow will have a copy of this film in a nano-second.

If evidentiary, count on it occupying the media for weeks. Remember: "If it bleeds, it leads."

A film of Ivanka changing into her Victoria's Secret nightie would be distracting.

This other stuff? Meh ~ Not so much.
