    A) the Supreme Court decided the president is above the law

    B) that destroyed any chance to “use the Constitution” as it dramatically undermined what few checks and balances there were

    C) MAGA congresspeople willingly gave up their own power to him

    D) now riots are coming

      What came before that:

      • Several members of the US SC have been compromised (Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and possibly others) by having been photographed/filmed at sexually explicit events with minors.
      • In the case of Kavanaugh this was even dangled in front of his eyes at his confirmation hearing to make sure he understood he was to walk the line or else.
      • Cases were brought in front of the SC to make sure they could rule on “Presidential immunity”
      • Even though this empowered Joe Biden to unprecedented levels of presidential impunity, he choose to do nothing with it and let the the his AG continue his slow work on trying get anything to stick on Trump, or attempt to push.
      • Under Obama II, Mitch McConnell succeeded in preventing liberal justices to be confirmed in the Senate, leaving a notorious psychopath/narcissistic sociopath to fill 3 conservative justices in a single term, despite being one of the least popular presidents of all time.

        I still rage thinking about this…

        Obama: Scalia dies in the beginning of the election year and Mitch McFuck says “it’s too close to the election, we need to let the people decide.”

        Trump: Ginsberg dies WHILE MAIL IN VOTING IS HAPPENING and Mitch McFuck rams through a nomination…

        God I hate that piece of shit. They got two justices by having no fucking morals whatsoever and playing double standards. Not to mention Obama calling their bluff. They tried this “Obama just wants a far left judge he’d never pick someone respected like Garland.” So he picks Garland and they pull this it’s too late bullshit…

            It’s “my party” as in: I hold my nose, disgusted at the fact they’re the only viable option until we change the voting system, but am fully aware they’re 90% shit and do dumbass fucking things like “make the same person Republicans wanted as a justice be an attorney general responsible for holding Trump accountable.”

            Doesn’t change the fact that Mitch McFuck is a piece of shit that has no standards other than “whatever gets me more power.”

              If you keep holding your nose and supporting them they have no motivation to change. This tells them they can do whatever they want because you’ll keep coming back for more. That’s how Democrats have gone from the party of Jimmy Carter to ‘what genocide?’

      Hope the supreme court is happy to see the country lose everything that made it good in the first place.

        Whack people in the face with big wads of cash for long enough, and they numb out.

        …and I’m generously assuming nothing more sinister was in play.

          I think there is something more sinister but thats another topic. Its not hard to see how America has really turned evil the last 10 years and its not just money. The mindset has completely changed.
