Pandora’s Box

Hello, Seal Team Six? This is The President.

The Justices have really stepped in it. President Biden is an amazing man with deep moral values. He’d never order Seal Team Six to kill the Orange Menace.

I can’t say the same for the other guy. He will certainly abuse his power and imprison his political rivals or make them disappear, just like Putin.

Our democracy and the future of the country depend on your vote in November. Even if you’re worried about President Biden being too old you have to vote for him to save the country. Stop with the notion of replacing him as nominee. There’s no pathway to that.

Oh Darn!

CNBC

Former President Donald Trump has been unable to obtain an appeal bond to secure a $454 million civil judgment against him in a New York business fraud case, his attorneys said in a court filing Monday.

It could not have happened to a nicer fellow. Congratulations, Donald!

We’re on our own

Ian Millhiser • Vox

The Supreme Court has ordered the most important of former President Donald Trump’s four criminal trials to be put on hold indefinitely. It’s an extraordinary victory for Trump and a devastating blow to special counsel Jack Smith. The Court’s decision also raises serious doubts about whether these justices will allow a trial to take place before the November election.

We are most certainly on our own as a nation. Mr. Millhiser paints a clear picture for us. There’s no way Trump’s trial will be completed, much less started, before the election.

If we don’t turn out like we did in 2020 the country and our democracy are lost.

DUH! It’s all about delaying

It’s all about delaying the trial and ultimate conviction in hopes he wins the election.

SCOTUS is part of the plot to delay things.

Fucking Supreme Court

This is a clear and total victory for Trump. The trial will not conclude before the election, heck, it may not even get started, but that was the plan all along.

Nice work SCOTUS, by taking this up you’ve driven another nail in the coffin of American Democracy.

Fuck Trump.

I meant to steal more!

emptywheel

That’s important background to Trump’s primary defense in his stolen documents case. Between his motion to dismiss because the Presidential Records Act doesn’t say what he claims it saysand his motion to dismiss for absolute immunity, he is arguing that he intended to steal boxes and boxes of classified documents.

We all know he did these things and at the rate the trials are going he’s going to delay in hopes of winning the election.

If he does it all magically goes away.

Fuck that guy.

Keep Him off the Ballot

Devan Cole • CNN

A former conservative federal appellate judge is urging the Supreme Court to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, arguing the ex-president’s effort to cling to power after his 2020 election loss was “broader” than South Carolina’s secession from the US that triggered the Civil War.

It seems like the Supreme Court is leaning toward allowing Trump to remain on the ballot in Colorado and elsewhere. Why? Because section 3 of the 14 amendment is a federal law. That means states can’t override it.

That, unfortunately, makes sense and could lead to the destruction of our democracy.

Fuck Trump and his sycophants.
