Assault on the SCOTUS
Anyone visiting this site should know by now that the radical left is waging an assault on the SCOTUS. The Court had to make this very moderate ruling to inform judges who seem to lack the facts on Presidential immunity and are nonetheless all too ready to send a former President to prison. In case you haven't guessed: it is all about getting Trump. This was always something that Courts struggled with, and we finally reached the point where it had to be clarified. You can thank Merrick Garland for driving all of it to this point. You can also thank the heavy-handed Jack Smith for raising other issues involving the 1st Amendment, the 5th Amendment, the 6th Amendment and even the legality of his own appointment.
So, why do we see outrage from the left?
They weren't outraged when a panel of judges on the DC District Court only took a week to shoot this case through or Judge Chukin who didn't bother to think about how immunity would apply to the case. Well, now she will get a second chance to do it right. As for the people on the left who want to call everything they dislike "bullshit," all I can say is the protections set up in the Constitution have withstood an assault by AG Garland and the American left.
For Jack Smith and the gang: the cats in the bag and the bags in the river.
If anyone is really interested in reading about the decision, without just reading the minority opinions like one of our members presented, it is here:

One other thing:
A New York Times/Siena College poll, released yesterday, shows that Biden is now down 6 points to Donald Trump among likely voters — a three-point drop since his poor debate performance. Other polls are showing similar results. Supposedly Biden is taking notice Biden has taken notice. He has privately told allies that the next few days may determine whether he can salvage his candidacy according to Katie Rogers of the New York Times. Unfortunately, the Times reporters can no longer be trusted.

Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander. The group responded with a rocket barrage, and both sides are now on the verge of war.

Good morning.
On Coney Island. Dolly Faibyshev for The New York Times
Happy Fourth of July
the daily dump
perfect along with my first cup of coffee
That could be risky
Yeah the DD is usually pretty toxic.
What kind of coffee do you prefer?
ASSAULT ON THE SCOTUS
Not JUST the radical left.
Old fashioned liberals as well?
Do you miss the old Fourth of July barbecue?
No one on the left IMHO.
It's all on the 'right' - a lot of rwnjs.
Wha?
Are you saying the right objects to the decision???
No, of course not. I know they're all for absolving the traitor because they are as well.
Not the Left, 'radical' or otherwise.
So, it is all Bull Shit & treason?
What should we do now?
Never celebrated it, why would I? July 1st is Canada Day.
How do they celebrate Canada Day?
I don't think Vic meant the word "assault" to mean anything physical, but probably meant verbal criticism.
Pretty well the same way you celebrate July 4th, including it being a holiday.
But there's no hot-dog eating contest. However lots of poutine, beavertails, butter tarts and Nanaimo bars are consumed.
After hearing the far rightwing complain about "Judicial Activism" for sixty years they are quiet as our rights slip away...
Roe, and now this, are beyond the pale!
Welcome to The New Nation of Gilead.
Glad to hear it. I assume you miss those days a little.
Just grab a bib?
That's today's gop/gqp bullshit & treason
Again, what should be done about it?
The democrats hold the power.
I know what he meant.
I always do.
I lament with you.
A little, but not enough to make me unhappy about the present.
BTW Buzz, today in addition to being Independence Day, it happens to be Eva Marie Saint's 100th Birthday.
Happy Birthday to the actress who hit a home run in her first at bat.
Although I've watched her in 7 or 8 movies, I mostly think of her as Kitty Fremont in Exodus. Wishing her a happy and healthy birthday.
For me she will always be Joey Doyle's sister.
IMDb has a list of 51 of her movies. In honour of her 100th I could do my next game with her - pair her up with an elderly actor. Robert Redford has a list of 48 movies and he's my age, 87.
That's on the gop for their bullshit and treasonous acts, not the Democrats.
The gop has the supreme court six in their pockets - traitors as well.
I was waiting for the former 'president's convicted felon and rapist's inclusive and appropriate and erudite Fourth of July wishes and the ranting raving demented psychopath didn't disappoint.
Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci says he has "no doubt" Biden is capable of continuing as president.
Gee, I think Fauci would have some incentive to say that.
Only that he is a decent human being like Joe Biden and unlike most cons
He is "the science."
That's Dr. Fauci.
More like Dr Kevorkian.
Moronic.
Because he's become a beacon of honesty and truthfulness. /s
Reporter: “How is it possible that Joe Biden would suffer from ‘jet lag’ two weeks after he got back from his trip...?”
Karine Jean-Pierre: “It's the jet lag AND also the cold, right?”
"On the Fourth of July, our nation commemorates the bold first steps of the great American experiment. As we gather to celebrate, let’s also remember the sacrifices that generations of heroes have made to preserve, protect, and defend it. Happy Independence Day!" ... Mitch McConnell

U kraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has been dealt a crushing blow as his country will be told it is "too corrupt" to join Nato at current levels, a US official has revealed.
While the Eastern European country is in talks to join the bloc - which has expressed its support for Ukrainian membership - Nato will ask that "additional steps" be taken by Zelensky in order to shore up domestic issues.
Ukraine too CORRUPT to join Nato in major blow for Zelensky (msn.com)
There is another possible reason. To take Ukraine in while at war with Russia would have likely led to nuclear war.
Ukraine can join Kosovo as part of the corrupt shithole countries that will never be a part of NATO.
Guess some NATO countries still have a problem with Fascism.
I'm not sure if Fascism is the problem.
Criminal corruption (doesn't matter who is in charge of the government- the corruption doesn't end); putting your political opponents in prison; shutting down opposition media; and letting Nazis freely operate within the government and military.
It should be all NATO countries that have a problem with Ukraine joining.
Now I understand how you are using that term.
Ok, point well taken.
That's the look i see around here on guys faces when their kids tell mom that dad tried aunties fry bread...,. If you know , you know....
Lol, a lot of those faces are no longer seen. They headed for the hills after the Biden debate/debacle.
How about a fanfare for us common folk!

"I don’t know if Pres Biden will quit."
"I do know that he is deeply unpopular, that many think he is older than the Adirondack Mountains, and that he talks like he’s from outer space." ... Sen John Kennedy
Who cares what ignorant fucks like him say/think? Like most of the gop. Hateful ignorant fucks.
Nicely done.
You know I was never a fan of Shotgun Dick or his daughter Liz but ever since she spoke out against the traitor, I've been a huge fan ever since, of Liz that is. One of the only decent Republicans out there.
Is she still a Republican?
She claims to be , but is unrecognized in Wyoming , and by the national party.
Politically speaking, she is dead and waiting to be buried.
One of the only ones with a spine.
She doesn't have a spine. If she did she would have told Pelosi to fuck off when asked to be on the Jan 6th committee. But like her father she is power hungry- she couldn't stand her diminished role in the party.
There is a reason Liz is an Ex Republican.
One of the only republicans who isn't a republicon and ONE OF THE FEW WITH A SPINE.
Common is correct.
Where did I use that word?
Whoops, it was greg, but it fits.
Whoops!
Truth. Common. Lowest denominator.
What can a voter do when he/she has no choice? Write in "Lassie"?
Stay home.
You wish. I don't believe any Democrats are staying home. Vote Blue.
You better hope not.
The Squad followers may not vote in lockstep for Biden.
They think he screwed the pooch regarding Israel.
They can do what I will do, skip that seat, go down the ballot and vote whatever choices I have for seats being ran for.
There is no obligation or requirement to vote for every seat on a ballot,one is allowed to leave blanks.
They won't. We/They don't want a traitor, rapist, convicted felon as 'president' again.
I think the extreme left that Biden was so worried about are the only democrats he can count on. The left will do anything to stop Trump.
They also want their open border and green energy deal.
Green energy yes
The convicted felon and rapist former 'president' told the cons not to agree to the bipartisan border deal so that's on him and magats.
They won't do what some folks presume they will do. We will vote for President Biden.
or is it assume?
The deal was never going to happen despite 3 Republicans signing on.
My question to you is how did Trump secure the border without help from congress?
The traitor didn't.
Trump had a secure border.
Biden opened the border.
Those are FACTS.
No. That's not true at all.
You had better tell that to the pro Hamas faction of Democrats- they are still pissed at Biden and Democrats.
Not even the AP news agrees with you.
Chart doesn't like. Since Biden assumed office illegal border crossings have risen dramatically. Doesn't include got aways of course; or the numbers would be much higher.
There aren't many democrats even denying it any longer.
Not true.
Thank you for providing at least some truth that Trump's boarder was not secure either.
Here is a better chart that shows how expulsions have multiplied under Biden as well
but 22 & 23 are definitely the worst if your just playing the numbers game.
Trump's "secure border" has always been a myth of his own making.
Been reading through the comments on the articles about the SCOTUS ruling on immunity.
Pretty damn hard to believe that so many can deliberately misunderstand and push false narratives so easily.

Removed for context
The same people who told us only two weeks ago that Joe Biden was as sharp as a tack and anything contrary was "bullshit."
Yeah, but how many here are still clinging to the lie that Biden is fine?
11 individuals to be exact.
Not only clinging to it but trying to sell Biden is fine to people that saw how bad it has gotten.
Yeah, amazing that they think Biden was just fine at the debate after seeing that spectacle.
What they lack in numbers is offset by the sheer volumes of posts and the attendant hoopla.
The deflection attempt to Trump lies was all they had. Then the excuse of a cold and jet lag were just downright funny
They completely ignore all of Biden's lies during the debate. If he got out an intelligible sentence, it was a lie. Chances are the incoherent sentences were as well; unfortunately there are no translators for dementia.
The latest from our leader:
"By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman... to serve with a black president. Proud to be involved of the first black woman on the Supreme Court. There's so much that we can do because, look... we're the United States of America," Biden said.
Biden calls himself 'first black woman to serve with black president' in latest stumble (msn.com)
Well, look, maybe Joe doesn't know who he is, who the Vice President is, what race he is, but hey, look, he still knows this is America!
Whoo Hooo!!!!
If that doesn't prove that old Joe isn't just as sharp as a tack, what would convince us that Joe is perfectly fine and has the cognitive skills of someone decades younger?
Asking for the Democratic Party sycophants still clinging to the idea Joe is fine, of course.
An easy thing to do would have been to hold a two hour, unscripted, press conference in which Biden fields questions from all across the media spectrum at 8:00 PM the next evening.
But that of course, is impossible.
yeah, doubtful Biden will ever do another unscripted "interview" with anyone.
What do some folks actually SEE when they look at Biden today?
I've given up trying to understand it. They don't believe their own eyes at this point and just wait to be told what to think.
They obviously want you to take their word for it while they hide him away as much as possible because any unscripted communication would show him as the dementia ridden old man he is. I am sure ABC will do their part with the upcoming "interview" to make it look like an unscripted interview as opposed to a last ditch effort to promote Bidens big lie.
I don't think they misunderstand it. There are many who just plain don't know what the ruling means and how it applies so they make up their own foil hat theories.
I know they don't get it.
Why else would anyone think the President can order the murder of a political rival and get away with it?
That is MADNESS!!!
