Monday Stuff


So I just want to make sure that I have this right...this Lorie Smith person didn’t actually violate the Colorado anti-discrimination law to begin with, and now it turns out that the person she alleges came to her with a request for a gay wedding website actually did no such thing (and isn't even gay)? And this nonsense actually made it all the way to the SCOTUS and Smith received a favorable ruling because Neil Gorsuch believed there would be some kind of theoretical harm or something because it would violate Smith’s religious beliefs if she were forced to say no to creating a gay wedding website, and potentially violate Colorado law?

If the fact that this case was even heard at all, let alone ruled the way it was, isn’t a reason to expand the Court and impose term limits, among other potential remedies, I don’t know what is (Mike Figueredo tells us more, including reminding us about this robed bunch of theocrats getting rid of Biden's student debt relief...NSFW/H – more here and here)...



...and Ari Melber gives us his take on all of this SCOTUS garbage...I take Melber’s reporting on this a little more seriously since he’s also a lawyer...



...and Chris Hayes and Joy Reid discuss the affirmative action SCOTUS atrocity (what a ballsy commentary by Reid about people of her own race on the question of getting Almost Silent Clarence Thomas installed on the High Court, a commentary which she is more than qualified to make IMO)...



...and I’m presenting this video to give everybody an idea of just how crazy the Supremos have become, on everything really but affirmative action in this instance...this clip has to do with the Bakke case, which ended up putting us on the road to the recent awful ruling on affirmative action; back in 1978, the High Court’s issue was with racial quotas (lower courts had an issue with that also), though they didn’t disagree in principle with using race as a consideration for college admission...of course, since we have no racism anymore and everyone is equal, that’s why our awful SCOTUS of the present day ruled as they did (removing my tongue from my cheek)...



...and returning to our current time, this Rebel HQ clip with Rayy Vana tells us about “Governor Bully” going after Our Ochre Abomination...people are liking Christie since he’s standing up to Our Treasonous Orange Pestilence, but I can recall that the NJ loudmouth former governor screwed over commuters by cancelling the Hudson River tunnel project and routinely demonized teachers, and don’t give me this nonsense about how he didn’t know about shutting down the GW Bridge also...



....and based on this awful development, it looks like it’s time not to politicize gun violence again – here is a tune with this story in mind.



Update 7/4/23: I pray to God that, one day, enough of the voters of this country will love their kids, families, friends and neighborhoods enough to do something about this scourge more than they hate Democrats...and I’m sure I’ll be praying on this for awhile yet (here and here).
