  1. “Nukes” – for when “Slams” just isn’t enough hyperbole…

  2. It’s almost like the Supreme Court has a financial incentive to delay Trump’s case(s), but that couldn’t be possible, right? Right?

  3. I believe Joe should daily mention how nice it would be to me immune from crimes and ask publicly “Can I order assassinations?” This is not the first-time pugs support the Imperial Presidency with all immunity. Dems should all be public about this even to the point of naming publicly how all the pugs involved in Jan 6 should be arrested if not by DOJ BUT by Joe’s newly granted PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, also maybe corrupt judges, party officials, lawless governors. Joe could have everyone off the streets before the election and maybe real American that value America run for office.

  4. Plus, another fact that Dems could remind voters of is that a majority of the witnesses in the election interference case are Republicans. That fact doesn’t get pointed out often enough, IMO.

  5. They will wait. Biden will not be able to use any new power their ruling could grant. Then, once Trump is in, they make him ruler supreme and we never have another president again. Project 2025 seizes all of the cogs of federal government and reorganizes them into a new imperial machine. We are seriously in trouble. It’s happening right before our eyes.

  6. No mention of how fucking CORRUPT clarence thomas is. And how his wife was all for the insurrection.

  7. The SCOTUS is engaging in obstruction of justice and 2024 election interference. Anyone with a brain, a conscience, and respect for the Constitution sees this clearly.

  8. >First, Democrats should stress that voters need to know before the election whether Trump committed crimes

    How about all the crimes that he has admitted to or the crimes of which he has already been found guilty?

    If people don’t already think he’s guilty of *something* that should disqualify him as a candidate, I don’t think this decision is going to matter to them.

  9. We’re so fucked as a country. Enjoy the next 7-8 months and then get ready for blood in the streets sadly.

  10. The decay of the US Supreme Court has been hard to watch. That Clarence Thomas occupies the seat formerly held by Thurgood Marshall really says it all.

    That such a goblin could actually be part of a majority is staggering. The venality, the stupidity, and the overwhelming arrogance of this group are obnoxious to the functioning of the republic.

  11. It’s up to us, the citizens. We have an obligation. Get the fuck out there and vote in November. “Nobody is going to save us” -Some white guy on CNN

  12. Am I the only one that actually believes the Supreme Court will rule against Trump and say that he is not immune to the rule of law? They want to hear it to impart the gravitas and authority that they have so all the idiot maga supporters will believe it.

  13. How many times do Democrat leaders use political weapons do their advantage though. Trump hands them weapons virtually every week and yet Biden nor anyone else takes advantage of them.

  14. No man is above the law. Well, seems like the SCOTUS is. The final arbiter of democracy just spat on it.

  15. So all the Justices are reeling over radiation poison and they’ll all have to be replaced? /s

  16. The Roberts Court has permanently secured its reputation as corrupt and corruptible, with a long series of decisions that will be overturned in the coming years, regardless of how they eventually rule on this case. This is a very simple case.

  17. Democrats needs to start incorporating Court Reform as part of the 2024 strategy…before there is no democracy left to save.

  18. The plan is to delay until after the election. If they rule now and Trump wins, they’ll end up on trumps shit list. If they wait until after, they can just go with whoever wins. Biden wins, they rule against Trump with little to no consequences. Trump wins, they rule in his favor and get to keep their jobs as trumps personal court.

  19. Personally I think saying “Americans deserve to know the truth” is unbelievably underwhelming. Instead tell Americans that “A clear cut legal case like ‘Does a former president have immunity to stage a coup’, being delayed by the supreme court is at worst a sign of corruption and is at best a display of utter incompetence” would have been much better. Nobody seems to coming hard enough at it.

  20. It doesn’t matter, nothing matters anymore. We’re all fucked.

  21. Word salad headlines like this one are a mockery of civil discourse. The only person threatening to use nukes in this world right now is President Putin. Republicans have turned certain voters against them by their own cynical, self-serving, actions. In times like this I’m reminded of the tragedy on Mustafar.

  22. Click bait. She just denounced the corrupt Supreme Court, which is fine. But this isn’t a win for the Dems or anyone. Nothing will change from this and none of GOP base will be swayed by Cheney.

  23. Oh man, we have escalated to nuking now? Slamming and blasting weren’t cutting it? Next will be, “Goes Super Nova” or “Mixes anti-matter with matter”

    But related to the article itself, I get that democrats need to push a clear message. But how do we as citizens pressure the SCOTUS? They are lifetime appointments. Short of refusing them service anywhere they go, making their public life hell with protest, or constantly making it known we’ve lost faith and confidence in them, is there anything else that might turn up the pressure cooker? Can we flood them with letters? Crowdfund billboards and commercials? Make a slapstick comedy sitcom about them? If democracy survives, we need significant changes to term limits, how appointments are made and legal ramifications for ethics violations and overturning precedent.

  24. Oh she nuked them? She didn’t bash them? Or slam them? Is nuke the new slam?

  25. This is quite the headline. Who came up with this??

  26. This might be a good time for Americans to protest outside the USSC. No?
