The Handmaid Revisited, etc.

Amy Coney Barrett has MAGA monkeys and morons pissing their pants and expressing outrage on X (formerly Twitter, now Shitter). This is an indication that her position on the Supreme Court may require reevaluation.

On another matter, The Big Fat Turd in the White House (BFTWH) is wandering around overseas telling foreigners that America is a stupid country. We must be stupid if we elected him twice and refuse to remove him through any of the available options.

The BFTWH has stopped promising MAGA monkeys and morons his third term, probably because 3/4 of America is sick of him now.

Monday Mumbling

There are enough corrupt MAGA Mobsters on the US Extreme Court to make the whole institution worthless. Between them and Aileen (Loose) Cannon, the federal criminal cases in Washington DC and Florida (the J6 insurrection and the stolen federal classified documents) were sidetracked and stalled long enough that Diarrhea Donhole got away with his damned crimes. Smug Sammy Alito, Clearance Sale Thomas, Roberts, Gorsucks, Loose Cannon, and Boof need to be removed as soon as DD* is no longer around to be involved in replacing them.

Senator John Thune may surprise everyone by being a Republican Senate majority leader who actually does things the correct way (maintaining some necessary control over DD*) unlike his predecessor, Moscow Mitch.

With so many Democrats ready to berate Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter, it's becoming a little easier to understand how the party allowed Kamala Harris to lose the election.

** Diarrhea Donhole

Mondazed Misery

They used to say "The hits just keep coming." Now we're saying "The low blows just won't stop coming."

• First, the Extremely Corrupt (formerly Supreme) Court rules that the Waste o' Shit has unconditional legal immunity in certain situations.
• Second, the CNN debate coincides with Joe Biden feeling like crap and not at the top of his game.
• Third, the Great Missed Opportunity on Saturday, when a "once in ten billion times" gunshot fired from an AR-15 type of rifle nicks the Waste of Shit's ear at a W/S campaign event that has the look of a reality show episode staged for television.
• Fourth, that silly runt Aileen (Loose) Cannon throws out the delayed stolen documents/espionage case based on her misguided idea that Special Counsel Jack Smith lacks the authority to prosecute the Waste o' Shit.

I guess this means The Silly Runt thinks the W/S can keep all the unreturned classified government documents as his private property, then sell them to anyone he chooses.

Among various legal experts who are weighing in with evaluations, there's agreement that The Silly Runt has been exposed as a biased W/S puppet. When Jack Smith appeals her ruling to the Circuit Court, she should be overruled and removed from the case completely.

He Who Cut The Cheese

 When the Manhattan case finally got underway earlier this month, early reports from the courtroom were that Waste of Shit was nodding off and grabbing some nap time while things got sorted out. At first I suspected that his "naps" were really just Demented Donny pretending to sleep to appear as though he's bored and indifferent about the trial.

More recent reports are that Don Old is cutting farts while he dozes, making things unpleasant for his lawyers and others nearby. Until these reports are proven false, MAGA stands for Making America Gross Again.

Clearance Sale

Among the things that will always cheer me up are serious investigations of corruption involving Clearance Sale Thomas and Smirking Sammy Alito. Thinking about those two worthless assholes being forced into early retirement makes me laugh.

Q NOTES 1193: Corruption in Court

Not to be outdone by Clearance Thomas, Smug Sammy Alito has an extremely wealthy sugar daddy of his own. In an ideal world, Clearance and Smug Sammy, who both passed their sell-by dates years ago, would retire immediately and open up two USSC seats for Joe to fill with accomplished reputable jurists who wouldn't disgrace themselves or the federal judicial system.

It's a nice change of pace, having Fox News hosts embarrass and humiliate Pig by scrapping softball interview questions like the ones Hannjob tosses his way.

Q NOTES # 838: New Month Mumbling

Crooks & Liars reports that some people who should know are claiming Hairdo is too fucking fat to make the kind of moves in the SUV that were described in Cassidy's testimony this week.

I have to admit that I underestimated the weakness of the American system of government, which had always managed to survive the corruption and incompetence of GOP leadership until Huey Hairdo and Moscow Mitch formed their partnership from hell and within four years, turned a pretty good country into a bottomless ocean of pig shit. This might have been avoided if a psychopath like Hairdo wasn't allowed to add three more extremists to a supreme court that already harbored Sleazy Sammy Alito and Clearance Sale Thomas. It's disturbing to realize that we could be a few 5-4 votes away from the end of any presidential elections in which the popular vote matters.

Q NOTES # 781: Just Stating the Facts

Here's an excerpt from Joe Biden's recent address to the nation, a statement that has the right-wing lunatic fringe at Fox News in a frenzy. Joe was referring to Slick Sammy Alito's decision to reverse the USSC ruling in Roe v. Wade:

"What are the next things that are going to be attacked? Because this MAGA crowd is really the most extreme political organization that's existed in American history -- in recent American history."

I can't find any reason to disagree with Joe this time. The U.S. looks a lot more like Nazi Germany in the 1930s now than it has at any other time since the Truman administration. It's amazing how fast the wheels came off.

Russia had an easy time controlling the federal government with an incompetent bozo from the world of reality TV shows in the White House, and Moscow Mitch running the Senate. Now, with Roberts, Clearance Sale Thomas, Slick Sammy Alito, Boof Kavanaugh, and the Handmaid in the majority, the Catholic Church controls the Supreme Court.

Added 1:06 PM Friday 6 May: I like Chuck Schumer's plan to hold a vote that will get every Trumplican in the Senate on the record re: opposition to Roe v. Wade.

Q NOTES 293

To be a member in good standing of Cheez Doodle's official fan club, a person must have (A) allowed Cheezy to sexually harass or abuse him/her, or (B) filed a lawsuit to benefit Cheezy that was dismissed as being without merit by a state or federal court. Louie Gohmert meets one condition for sure, and probably meets both.

Texas takes a back seat to no other states when it comes to its assortment of stinking, rotten (R) politicians, Gohmert being one of the worst. At the state level, Ken Paxton is probably the worst AG in America. He's probably the only active state AG who's been indicted for felonies. Then there's Rafael (Ted) Cruz, who is roughly as appealing as three large turds floating in a bucket of donkey piss.

Just for the record: Any member of Congress who fears that Cheez Doodle will force them to face an opponent in their party primary doesn't have the courage or intelligence to serve in Congress in the first place. Also for the record, any mental defectives who participate in violent protests to support Cheezy's attack on the election should be designated as terrorists and dealt with accordingly, especially if they show up carrying firearms of any type.

Apparently, the motivation behind the ridiculous bullshit taking place in the Senate (Hawley, Cruz, et al) is positioning for the 2024 presidential election. Does this mean that Cheez Doodle has decided he won't run again in 2024 after all?

The perfect ending to this fucking nightmare will be if, after all's said and done, the Republican Party really is divided beyond repair, proving conclusively that everything Cheez Doodle touches really does die.

Q. Notes, Day 189

Daily Kos presents the case that Democrats should prepare to think outside the box, in this case by increasing seats on the Supreme Court from nine to thirteen or fifteen.

My question is this: If the number of seats was reduced from nine to seven, which two of the current justices would be removed? If it's based on tenure on the court, that would remove Gorsucks and Kavanaugh, right?

The comment boards today seem to be loaded with reactions to stuff Cheezy said at his latest pep rallies. I'm always amazed by how easily some Democrats can be demoralized or thrown into panic by Cheezy's bullshit. After nearly five years, haven't they realized the pep rallies are opportunities for Cheezy to be a TV performer? 

Ignorant assholes and worthless yahoos show up at these events to be entertained, so Cheezy entertains them with outrageous bullshit about prosecuting Democrats and using federal courts to win the election. The assholes and yahoos eat it up, and for a few hours, Cheezy re-lives his happy days as a TV reality show star. That was a job he could handle, unlike being a so-called precedent (sic).

The CJ of the SC and Individual 1

It's a matter of interest to me that after Donnie Nacho got Gor-sucks and Kava-naughty seated on the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts is sending signals that his vote may not be one Donnie can treat like money in the bank.

PS Friday 6:52 PM: When it rains, it fucking pours for Donnie. That's how it goes when you're a lousy TV reality show actor pretending to be somebody important, asshole.

Is it possible the Nacho man likes the government shutdown idea because he thinks it will put Robert Mueller out of business? Wrong again, Nacho man.

Fox News loves the Nacho man (most of the time), but nothing close to the way the Russian TV shows love him. He's their prized possession, especially this week.

Look! Over there!

With Donnie Dog's Ass, the game is always about misdirection plays: Fake the long bomb, then run the quarterback sneak.

Digby @ Hullabaloo has more on the strategic use of chaos by Donnie Dog's Ass and his accomplices.

Having female trouble, Donnie?

If there's any justice in this stinking world at all, a woman named Summer Zervos will soon be the kind of problem for The Great Cornholio that Monica Lewinsky ended up being for Bill Clinton.

Obstruction

The (R) Party insists that the 2016 election should be a national referendum on the Supreme Court issue?

Thank you, Republican assholes. You've accomplished something I thought was impossible. You've focused the attention of moderates, independents, women and non-white voters on the need to vote regardless of who wins the Democratic nomination. Strong turnout in November should ensure the Democratic candidate will lock down 280-300 Electoral College votes, and a Democrat will be filling USSC vacancies for several years to come.

Contingency Plan?

There's a good chance the Supreme Court's Gang of Five, led by mob boss Fat Tony Scalia, will rip the heart out of the Affordable Care Act by ruling 5-4 that people who live in states that decided not to set up health insurance exchanges can't qualify for subsidies that make the mandatory coverage affordable. The number of citizens who are about to get screwed by the Scalia gang has been estimated at more than 6,000,000.

Expecting blowback, the Republicans have coughed up an alternative plan that will supposedly ease the pain and maybe even replace the ACA completely. Right.

The big question is this:

If the goddamned Republicans in Congress can develop a national health insurance system that's worth a shit, why didn't they do it during the Bush 43 years when they ran the government, or even while the ACA legislation was being worked out? This smells like another example of Republicans doing the only thing they know how to do: blowing smoke up the asses of yahoos with the same tired old shit (tax credits and market solutions) and hoping they can get away with it again.

Added 6:12 PM on Wednesday 4 March: As if there weren't already enough reasons to remove Fat Tony Scalia from the Supreme Court, add the fact that he's so fucking stupid, he trusts the Republicans in Congress to repair the damage he's about to cause. 

Surprises

Amazing. The Supreme Court has ruled on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, known to right-wingers across the nation as Obamacare, and decided not to abolish it. That's big surprise numero uno. What isn't a surprise is that the final vote was 5-4. What is moderately surprising is that Chief Justice Roberts was one of the five, not one of the four. I thought Kennedy would be the swing vote this time. WTF?

Added 12:36 pm: Decided to listen to AM radio to check the RW reaction. I recall the ecstasy on the right when W. nominated Roberts for Chief Justice. Assholes like Limbaugh were gloating that his confirmation was practically a guarantee that the USSC would be reliably conservative for at least a generation. Now, in the biggest ruling since the 5-4 vote that gave us eight years of Bush, Cheney and Rove, Roberts lines up with the liberals. Limbaugh hasn't said "fuck this shit" yet, but I know he's thinking it.

Judicial Conduct and Consequences

In 2000, five conservative activists on the Supreme Court changed history by ruling in favor of George W. Bush in the presidential election dispute. I'm willing to bet there never would have been an Iraq war if Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al, had never gained access to the White House. Those motherfuckers came on campus looking for any excuse to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein. Read up on the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) if you don't believe the assertion, then come back and convince me I'm wrong.

There's a chance that five conservative activists on the Supreme Court may be on the verge of changing American history again. This time the nation's health care system may feel the impact.

I have 500, do I hear one thousand ?

There's a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that bears watching, involving a campaign finance law in Arizona. The people challenging the law claim it violates their right to free speech, and they'll probably win a 5-4 decision since the five conservative justices seem to believe that government should be for sale to the highest bidder.
