        I honestly don’t know why people are still harping on this. what’s even the point? I know he’s on the files, you know he’s on the files, everyone knows. so why? do people honestly, firmly, believe that releasing said files will be an a-ha moment that will lead to his impeachment? no of course not. It’s such a stupid thing to be concerned about. Democrats file motions of impeachment against this asshole on a nearly weekly basis and it goes no where. like what’s the point? oh THIS time it will? no it won’t. Guy ignores the courts on a routine basis.

          It was silly from the beginning. It was a distraction and either the bots were out in numbers or the crowd swallowed it bait hook and sinker.

    Its crazy to think about what an uncle ruckus Clarence Thomas is.

    I mean, his nephews and nieces must for sure call this man Uncle Tom.

    What a piece of shit this guy has to be to be married to a white woman, and be striking down marriage equality.

    This title is all wrong. It’s not “Breaking” news. It’s not being considered. It’s a done deal and nobody will do anything about it. The only thing to decide is when they do it. I guess that is the breaking part, that maybe is mow.

      Yeah the Yankees are always focusing on the big name superstars, and not putting enough effort into the fundamentals. They make too many errors, and they have unsuccessful results. It’s all about the money with them, there’s no real heart to them, and that’s why they lose.

      Wait, we’re talking about baseball, right?

      You speak as if all Americans are the same like a hive mind.

      Ironically using such sweeping generalities makes you more aligned with the administration taking away our freedoms.

      Wait until Clarence Thomas comes home from work to his bulldog wife, and tell her that their marriage is officially null and void.

      Then there will be a new opening on the Supreme Court.

    Well, Trump has taught us that you can ignore the Supreme Court if your party controls Congress. So if there ever is another Democrat president with Democrat control of Congress, just revert all this and ignore whatever the SC says.

    We should only be elevating Democrats who make it clear they are ready to play hardball.

    Who would’ve thought having a partisan executive appoint a partisan judge and by approved by a partisan congress would result in a partisan Supreme Court! My vote is for using a system similar to Tennessee’s State Supreme Court. A commission of judges nominate a short list of candidates -> the governor appoints from the list -> after a year, there is a popular election on whether the judge should retain their seat.
    For the Supreme Court, I’d modify it to: every federal judge elects the short list with Single Transferable Voting or Approval Voting -> President appoints one -> after a year, the populous has a retention vote. Also limited and staggered terms so appointments are distributed evenly across presidencies; must pass a background check & audit; criminal & civil convictions have mandatory prison time and fines are based off percentage of wealth.

    Of course neither party (and definitely not the oligarchs) are going to push for systemic changes that could curb their power, so we all need to be united with a General Strike. In the past these have lasted a few days to about a month; I expect making the constitutional changes needed to save our democracy will take longer and meet greater resistance, so Mutual Aid Networks will be crucial to support the strikers and keep essential services running. You can start by plugging in with the ones in your community, they are already everywhere.

    It’s on the Project 2025 list. As such, I expect it to fall, like Roe.

    Heritage is clearly funding this erasure of what We The People want.

        Find out where the heritage foundation meets, and have a crowd gather outside. Lock the doors. Burn the building. Let no one out.

        That’s how we get change.

          If you did anything. They will use drone strikes and the conservative media will cover for them.

          To stop this admin if it comes to it. We’d have to knock out comms for all the drone operation bases.

          Are you fucking daft. This whole comment reads like someone who learned everything about the world from action video games and movies, and I guess that tracks with our population currently. The Drone Command Bases will have flashing mission-icons above them, right?

          Congratulations, the brain rot has metastasized in you. Stop role-playing, I beg you to go outside.

            Mate. I’m just using my logic that is being adjusted by the ways Trump uses drone strikes. He will not hold back against the general public. I hope you understand this. No one he considers an enemy is safe. Look at what he is doing to traffickers. They can paint it any way they want. And they will escalate domestically. If anyone starts to really start a resistance. I’m just telling ya how I see it playing out.

              I really feel like our movement has a chance at success if we collect enough power-ups and body armor upgrades.

          Oh yes because doing indiscriminate drone strikes was so effective in Iraq and Afghanistan. Drone strikes are precision strikes meaning they are generally better for taking out a core group of high value targets, but they’d be right fucking useless on a large scale function. There’s a reason that the Navy more or less shutdown the drone program in WW2 that being that when the best way to deal with an enemy is to just to throw as much explosives as possible at a problem high capacity bombers are better, this general rule of thumb still reigns. You cant occupy and pacify an area with just drones because sooner or later folks will figure out counter measures, you can’t really do that as easily when an army is bearing down on you.

          Not to say drone strikes can’t be effective when used in conjunction with traditional warfare, but we’ll look at the war in Ukraine the Ruskies and Ukrainians keep figuring out new ways to jam each other’s drones. It would probably only take a week at more for basic countermeasures to occur in the US, it could literally be shining a spotlight at the drone to fuck with it’s camera depending on the model and the lights output.
