Stating the obvious about unrepentant Nazi Supreme Court justices

Icon of the far right Justice Antonin Scalia, started this “fuck you, ethics” trend when he refused to recuse himself from a case involving his friend and hunting companion, the aptly named Dick Cheney. When asked about the appearance of impropriety in traveling with Vice President Cheney on Air Force Two for some kind of holiday playtime while he sat on a pending case involving Cheney’s secret Energy Task Force meeting with Enron execs and others to deregulate energy on the West Coast, he told the reporter “I think it’s a sad day in America when people question the integrity of Supreme Court justices.”

The reporter was young, and flustered, and worked for a large corporation, an inherently conservative artificial person. She was apparently unable to follow with “I agree with you that it is a sad day when Americans don’t trust the integrity of a Supreme Court justice. However, that was not responsive to my question. So again, how does this clear appearance of impropriety not require you to recuse yourself from a case involving a powerful friend you vacation with?” If it had been me, I like to think I’d have added “bitch” at the end of that rephrasing of my clear question.

However, the point was made by the arrogant Scalia. A justice can simply say “fuck you for fucking questioning my integrity you fucking commie fuck” and that is the end of any discussion of the appearance of impropriety. Enraged extremist Sam Alito can wear a swastika under his robes, next to his Appeal to Heaven t-shirt, while fingering his authoritative compendium of witch burning anti-abortion jurists, compromised Clarence “Black Klansman” Thomas can seethe publicly about how viciously unfair it is that he’s questioned about undisclosed generous gifts from close billionaire friends who sidled up to him once he was on the Supreme Court, not to mention his rabid, powerful activist wife’s full-throated support of the Stolen Election lie. John Roberts’s wife can make millions referring rightwing lawyers to organizations who bring cases before her husband. Kavanuagh’s huge credit card debt can magically disappear overnight, Gorsuch can suddenly easily sell a property he’d had on the market for years, etc.

These clearly partisan, ideologically pure, anti-democratic, fanatical products of a doctrinaire rightwing legal fraternity are completely out of control, and John Roberts is respectfully silent as he and his five activist colleagues brazen out this crisis of public confidence, using the Scalia method, as he votes with them to rule that partisan gerrymandering is completely legal, unless those drawing the maps are wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods and publicly calling for the mass lynching of Blacks as they remove Black voters from a partisan district to protect the election prospects of one of their own.

This, of course, is 11 years after these anti-democratic creeps neutered the unanimously reauthorized (98-0 in the Senate) Voting Rights Act and later ruled that partisan gerrymandering is a political question that the court can’t comment on, unless, of course, as they clarified recently, it’s a bunch of n-words trying to bring a case previously covered by the Voting Rights Act that henceforth will be impossible to win, under new Supreme Court precedent that shifts the burden to them to prove the merely partisan map was also drawn with unmistakable racist intent.

In overturning two federal courts in South Carolina, Alito, writing for the six, created a new presumption of legislative non-racism that must be overcome by Black plaintiffs, no matter what the lower courts’ fact finding showed, no matter that 62% of Blacks were moved out of Nancy Mace’s district and into Representative Jim Clyburn’s (D-SC) district. Alito needs at least a one vote MAGA majority in the House to avoid a bill of impeachment against him getting to the floor, obviously. Every partisan drawn gerrymandered district counts! Fuck these fucking Nazi putos.

Biden in term two must have Congress expand the court and add four or five moderate, non-Federalist Society “ideological” diehards, to the Supreme Court which must also adopt a binding code of ethics. I think Merrick Garland should be one of the added justices, he will make an excellent, highly principled justice, even if he has not been bold in fighting fascism as our nation’s top law enforcement official. Hopefully it’s not too late for democracy in our country teetering on the brink of Klan/Nazi/White Christian Nationalist rule as a powerful minority uses despair, hatred and fear to permanently cement its hold on absolute power.

In the meantime, no more strongly worded letters to bland, smug corporatist John Roberts, Senator Durbin. Subpoena a few of these openly contemptuous fascists, starting with Samuel “My wife doesn’t like being called a cunt” Alito. Do it Tuesday.

scumbag lawyer’s argument, MAGA-style

From the Colorado appeals court’s decision removing Trump from the Colorado primary ballot after finding him an officer who, at minimum, gave aid and comfort to insurrectionists (“hostages”) violating his oath to protect the country from insurrections against the Constitution. Recall how expeditiously this legally sound ruling was taken up and overturned by the Federalist Society Six, all but one appointed by a Republican president who’d lost the popular vote.

This same immovable block, including two billionaire befriended extremists whose wives have expressed undying love for Trump and what he stands for, is slowly delaying Trump’s criminal trial in D.C. (since DOJ’s December request for a ruling on Trump’s absurd, fascistic claim of absolute, blanket presidential immunity) for his central role in planning and carrying out the Hail Mary January 6 riot to obstruct an official proceeding and prevent certification of victory of the man who beat him by 7,000,000 votes.   MAGA Justice Samuel “burn witches”;Alito was fixing to stay the official proceeding, while Trump’s allies in Congress took other measures to get him extra-legally inserted as the president.  This plan was  described  years later by insane Kraken lawyer Sidney Powell [1] (who amazingly, still has a law license), if the vote to certify Biden’s victory hadn’t happened late that night. 

[1]. After Giuliani’s segment ended, Powell took the lectern and alleged, without evidence, that an international communist plot to rig the 2020 election had been engineered by Cuba, China, Venezuela, Hugo Chávez (who died in 2013), George Soros, the Clinton Foundation and antifa.[14][66][67][68] She also alleged that Dominion Voting Systems “can set and run an algorithm that probably ran all over the country to take a certain percentage of votes from President Trump and flip them to President Biden”.[69] The source for many of these claims appeared to be far right news organization One America News Network (OANN).[14] She also repeated a conspiracy theory[70]—spread by Congressman Louie Gohmert, OANN and others[71]—that election results showing a landslide victory for Trump had been transmitted to the German office of the Spanish electronic voting firm Scytl, after which a company server was supposedly seized in a raid by the United States Army.[14] The US Army and Scytl refuted these claims;[72] Scytl has not had any offices in Germany since September 2019 and does not tabulate US votes.[73][74

Trump promising UNIFIED REICH?

Are you shitting me, Herr Trump? The full Hitler, after calling his political opponents hateful corrupt communists and criminals, two Hitler favorites:

In Minnesota on Friday, Trump echoed fascists when he told supporters, “No matter how hateful and corrupt the communists and criminals we are fighting against may be, you must never forget this is not a nation that belongs to them. This is a nation that totally belongs to you. It belongs to you. This is your home, this is your heritage.”

In the same speech, Trump told attendees that the Second Amendment “is very much on the ballot” in November, and he urged gun owners to vote and to “be rebellious.” Then he told the crowd that Biden’s actions were such that if he “were a Republican, he would have been given the electric chair, they would have brought back the death penalty.”

This evening, Trump’s Instagram account posted a video of what a newspaper would look like after a 2024 MAGA win. Under the headline “WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA?” were the words “INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH,” a clear reference to fascism and German dictator Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

Nazis have no shame

As the Führer himself noted, “conscience is a Jewish invention“.  In order to be the change you want to see in the world, in this case to make the world white, nominally Christian and obedient only to the will of the most powerful, you must act ruthlessly. Never admit weakness. Never admit wrongdoing. Keep punching, biting, kicking, stabbing, threatening, snarling, lynching, spitting, throwing feces.

There is no ugliness that you can display that is not welcome when doing the glorious business of the Führer.

It can’t happen here

You have the sad sight of ambitious, unprincipled, obsequious followers summoned by a criminal defendant, the self-proclaimed avatar of retribution, already found guilty of fraud several times over, adjudicated to have sexually assaulted a woman in a high-end department store, and then defaming her as a liar, shirking their public duties to rail, outside the courthouse where their boss is on trial, against the totally unfair judicial system of the country that is about to vote and theoretically put their contemptuous master back in the White House.

You have an actual Nazi on the Supreme Court (not the Black Klansman this time) flying the distress flag in front of his house for days after the January 6 riot in support of the defeated insurrectionist president, in solidarity with the insane lie that the guy who lost by seven million votes was the victim of massive bipartisan fraud, stabbed in the back by RINOs who pretended to follow the so-called law instead of “finding” the requested votes. This fly encrusted piece of shit, Sam Alito by name, who defended himself imbecilically, in an account peppered with lies, about why the flag was upside down outside his house for a brief few days after the insurrection (his wife did it, the neighbors are vicious, his children were in danger), will cast an unappealable vote to decide whether his leader is immune from all prosecution for anything he did while president, including planning and calling for the violent attack on the Capitol while uttering the word “peace” a few times during his long, vehement, lying incitement speech.

This unbiased justice flew an upside down flag to publicly show his solidarity with the boss and his claim to retain power, legal or not, he and his wife simply love what he stands for.

Here’s a sixty second snapshot of our historical moment:

Life during the fight for American Nazism

During the rise of an irrationally-based power grab by fascists, everything you can think of will be weaponized, forcing a relentless, exhausting stream of irrational choices on the populace. Every issue, no matter how insignificant, will be framed in BLACK and WHITE, an existential battle between good and evil, the Nazis representing good and everyone else the vicious or unwitting tool of cunning, deadly evil. A pliant corporate media, driven by an unslakable lust for profit, will treat both sides as having legitimate points. In the name of fairness you get shit like this:

Mothers Against Drunk Driving will be holding a public meeting tonight at 8 pm. Mothers For Drunk Driving is demanding the right to debate, and present their equally compelling point of view. Baseball bats, bear spray, sharpened flagpoles, clubs, firearms, knives, whips, brass knuckles, acid, burning torches, pitchforks, hatchets and all homemade weapons permitted. Fighting is encouraged. Refreshments will be served.

And God bless these United Shayyyssshh…

How long before the New York Times is accused of anti-Semitism?

There are anti-Semites, plenty of them, millions of these creatures, everywhere. These hateful fucks have always been around and always will be around. There are also many critics of inhuman policies by the coalition of violent extremists and cynics currently running the Jewish State. Some of these critics are anti-Semites, no doubt. Some of these critics are humanitarians who are not anti-Semites.  Many of these critics are Jews, who, like me, hold our people to the moral standards we are all supposed to live by.

This headline is an uncharacteristically bold statement by the New York Times, we’ll have to keep track of the blowback on this one, eh?  I can hardly wait to see which White Christian nationalist American Nazi is the first to angrily accuse the Grey Lady of vicious anti-Semitism.  Hopefully they won’t give the Nazi salute as they do so, though it would be kind of funny if they did. Hitlerious, actually.

Cults, embracing lies as loyalty, the sting of death

Every cult is based on embracing the infallibility of the cult leader. This asshole is usually a charismatic (to some) narcissist, a person who can never be wrong, will kill to prove that, and who rewards any follower who swears undying loyalty to them with an assurance of (usually transactional) love. For the most part.

The cult leader, being infallible, doesn’t need a reason to throw somebody out of the cult, but for the most part, they tolerate cult members who are undyingly loyal.

For anybody who does not go along with a cult leader’s infallible, indisputable so-called lies, taking a self-described moral stand in the name of some asshole abstraction, like “truth”, there is only death. If apostates, heretics, dissidents and critics are not always killed by the leader, and made grim examples of, the spirit of questioning and undermining authority grows like a poisonous weed in the cult. The death inflicted on the questioner is usually spiritual, the hated apostate may never be spoken to, or of, again. Within the cult, this is the functional equivalent of death by physical killing.

 The sting of death is the absence of the person you loved, absolute and eternal, silence that can never again be broken with a laugh or anything else.  With death all possibility for a better mutual future, for reconciliation, for greater understanding and peace is crushed into bitter dust. The bitterness of willfully annihilated love is impossible to describe, though many of us know well the awful taste of it.
