Hey, it’s “Dictator For A Day” Donnie...yeah, he only wants to run the country “for one day”...uh huh – I guess he believes a “day” has an indefinite time period...and as Farron Cousins notes, if God forbid he ended up back in charge, he would be able to enact a bunch of stuff with the typical presidential power, though Mango Mussolini would go waaay beyond that of course (and what’s at least as vile and repugnant to me, as opposed to the treasonous words of Our Traitorous Orange Meat Sack, are the life forms in the audience who applauded when 45 said this garbage...somewhat NSFW/H)...
...and according to a survey in the WaPo I believe, women are getting more and more disgusted with Trumpers and not wanting to date them, and of course these Fix Noise harpies are big mad about that (Ben Gleib of Rebel HQ fills us in on the details)...
...and when it comes to our thoroughly compromised SCOTUS, Ali Velshi informs us about a case from some self-entitled jagoff with apparently too much time and money on his hands, and that would be this George Jarkesy guy who brought suit against the SEC and its governmental tribunal, a group which provides an important function as noted in this clip including an interview with author and NYU law professor Melissa Murray...this case could indeed potentially upend our government and the “administrative state” that actually does the important legwork providing for our quality of life...the wingnuts have been going after governmental regular bodies ever since the Teahadists swept into power in 2010 (mainly Chucky and Davey Koch attacking the EPA), and maybe even earlier than that, and this is just the latest assault...yeah, this whole case has “bad idea” written all over it IMO, so OF COOURRSE the wretched Court of Hangin’ Judge JR leapt into action...
...and as long as we’re talking about The Supremes, I should include this video from Leeja Miller, telling us that the proposed ethics code from this bunch is worse than we think (hinging on the difference between the words “should” and “shall”)...lots of interesting background IMO on what judges and lawyers can and can’t do, and Miller gets to the SCOTUS at about 10:50...legal trickery is highlighted I know, but it’s important to mention...also, more weasel wording is discussed that allows justices (according to their joke of a code) to speak at what amounts to right-wing advocacy groups, codifying their existing garbage behavior as Miller points out...yeah, these “carve outs” stink to high heaven as she says...also, nice work to point out that separation of powers in the Constitution does NOT mean that the branches of government can’t regulate each other...I believe it was mentioned in one of the obits for Sandra Day O’Connor how important it is for justices to have served in a governmental capacity before they were elevated to the SCOTUS (which O’Connor did in the Arizona state senate...Earl Warren was a Republican governor of California, which was a credential that appealed to President Eisenhower, who nominated him); I think this bunch we have now is pretty much proof positive of how out of touch you can be without that important experience (well, for six of the nine anyway)...
...and I now present the following seasonal selections, including our annual remembrance.
