The SCOTUS is really kind of at a crossroads. If any Dem actually believed anything coming out of Beerbong and Sisters' mouths, then they had to be living under a rock, but that's nitpicking at this point because there was nothing any Dem could have done about their elevations regardless. The liberal justices and Roberts have been eying this slow motion wreck for awhile and you can kind of see it in the unpredictable decisions that opened this session... almost as if there was negotiations with the three younger conservative justices to see who would be most likely to move back toward Roberts in the center. Clearly it was futile, but the point is that the SCOTUS has been a bit more exposed since the confirmation of ACB and you can see a little bit more of the ideological wrangling than in previous sessions. I think you misrepresent what BBB was. It was already a watered down collection of liberal priorities with the express purpose of making it palatable of moderates. Taking anything else out of it was going to doom it. Something that expansive can't be distilled into a bumper sticker slogan, and it shouldn't be. The progressives are not given nearly enough credit for negotiating in good faith to get something palatable to table for their base primarily because Manchin and Sinema were dishonest-by-omission about their intentions. That doesn't change the fact that other priorities could and should have been addressed knowing where the political climate was headed. It doesn't mean we would have gotten anything more than we got, but it would have certainly kept more voters engaged. Looking at what Biden has been able to do with Ukraine certainly tells me that his administration knows how to be the canary when it needs to. Unfortunately, yes.

Fuck that bitch.

Also... The way a mother fucker assumes everyone has as bad a memory as he does.

What does that have to do with you do nothing about it yourself?

I thought that was one of the historical myths that have persisted for years.

If he needs my cock in his mouth, I can make sure he chokes on it.

I think most people understood this was going to happen when Trump lucked into an open spot with RBGs untimely passing, and it was always going to be questionable whether SC stacking could be a viable option (especially given how slow the GOP has made the confirmation process). But you’re absolutely right that the Dems didn’t do enough when they could to stop this unfolding crisis. Like you said, the Dems should have focused on Universal Health Care and they didn’t. Child care assistance was a big part of the BBB, but it was already a watered down offering meant to give Manchin and Sinema some cover. It’s not that green initiatives aren’t important or that the climate isn’t a crisis, its that women’s reproductive rights are intrinsically tied to healthcare and a universal system would have allowed women to get the care they needed across state lines without being burdened by the cost. You meet the crisis you know will happen before it happens.

Absolutely this. Talk about the hypothetical clerk losing his or her career in law after this is probably moot in that all likelihood the source of the leak will never be explicitly identified. More importantly, I tend to agree with the assertion that Roberts most likely had some idea the leak would happen because the leaked document itself is so problematic. It ignores precedent so completely that it does more damage to the reputation of the court than the leak would, and, as the Chief Justice, he has to know what's at stake if a decision like this came out as official. That's not to say he would ever allow such a leak to happen on his watch, just that he had to have foreseen how problematic this would be an how he could capitalize on the leak once it did happen.

I'm overthinking things I'm sure. I tend to remember her as being somewhat manipulative is all, and the only way people would get the wrong idea about you is if she gives them the wrong idea.

Nabs will show those dasrardly Dems the error of their ways, no matter how many dead women it takes.

Lol.

Color me surprised Nabs cares about women's rights.

Your ex isn't vindictive is she?

It's not a fetish just because you happen to like Korean people.

All from Putin meat puppet Oliver Stone.

Corollary Rant: Read Receipts apparently don't mean anything.

I'm just glad there was absolutely no mention of "dusty."

By George, I think you've done it!

Should I tell Nabby that LA's MWD is instituting a regulation that limits to landscaping water to just once a week with the possibility that, by August, there will be a complete ban on outdoor watering?

I like your thinking. Lol.

I think you’re probably right with the air conditioner. Those wall/window units tend get a weird smell over time from condensate on the coils.

Is it like an anti-freeze kind of smell?

The best way to not be called a Karen, is to level her ass.

DJTJ does.... why do you think Kimberly Guilfoyle's smile moves from one side of her face to the other?

It must really suck being so hated that everything you say is turned against you.
