Abandon All Logic, Ye Who Enter
It was shocking, it was without legal precedent it was the Supreme Court dominated by MAGA conservatives who abandoned all logic to support Trump’s Hail Mary pass of “absolute executive immunity.”
For three hours the MAGA majority on the Supreme Court discarded any pretense of jurisprudence and instead went down a dark rabbit hole of rightwing conspiracy theories and bizarre hypotheticals to avoid discussing the Constitution, legal precedent, or Trump's attempted coup. Michael Dreeben, speaking for the Government, correctly pointed out that "There is no immunity that is in the Constitution unless this court creates it today." Instead Justice Kavanaugh proudly stated that "I’m not concerned about the here and now" and Justice Alito declared that he didn’t want to talk about the “particular facts.”
Taylor Swift vs. Trump World
Fearful that Taylor Swift will endorse Biden, Trump World has promised a "holy war" and has started spreading hateful, misogynistic conspiracy theories.
As we already know, Donald Trump feels threatened by strong, successful women. So when Taylor Swift was awarded Time Person of the Year for her 2023 billion dollar Eras Tour, Trump had one of his famous temper tantrums. And now that Taylor Swift is dating KC Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, MAGA World has been going nuts with conspiracy theories that Taylor Swift is a pentagon "psyop asset" and that the Super Bowl is fixed as part of a deep state plot to re-elect President Biden.
A Cornered Rat
As Trump's legal problems are closing in on him, he has escalated his violent threats against court officers, reporters, and his political opponents.
Winston Churchill warned of desperate men, saying, "Even a cornered rat is dangerous." Recent court rulings have exposed Trump as a liar and fraud. In response, Trump has lashed out with increasingly violent threats, including calling for the execution of General Milley. Trump's claims of persecution have resulted in death threats against judges, criminal prosecutors and the FBI. Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly recently warned that Trump is "A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law."
Move The F**king Motion
Kevin McCarthy loses his cool as right wing extremists of his own Party challenge his leadership with threats to remove McCarthy as Speaker.
Kevin McCarthy is between a rock and hard place. Matt Gaetz and MAGA extremists are are demanding a government shutdown to force unpopular budget cuts, while swing district Republicans fear that path is political suicide. In a closed-door meeting, a frustrated McCarthy dared the members of his own caucus to follow through on their threats saying, “If you think you scare me because you want to file a motion to vacate, move the fucking motion!”
We Want to Kill You
Donald Trump's use of a word - that rhymes with the n-word - to attack black prosecutors is trending on social media with dangerous results.
Trump is using disgusting racial slurs and threats of violence to intimidate judges, prosecutors, and even potential jurors in his four criminal cases. Right wing websites that have repeated Trump's racist slurs have exploded with threats of violence. The FBI arrested a Texas woman who threatened to murder the judge overseeing Trump's federal Jan. 6 indictment calling her a "slave," and threatening, “you are in our sights, we want to kill you.”
CNN Hosts a MAGA Rally
CNN allowed Trump to pack a primetime town hall with his right-wing supporters who cheered his most hateful, racist, bigoted lies and conspiracy theories.
After years of Trump bashing journalists as "fake news" and "enemies of the people," CNN decided to host a primetime Trump town hall that was a blatant attempt to attract right-wing viewers leaving Fox News. It was a highly disturbing 70-minutes of Trump airing his personal grievances, hateful lies, and right wing conspiracy theories popular with his base of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and QAnon supporters.
