> [@Cervaise](#): > > And I think it goes farther than that, actually. It seems to me that Roberts is carefully structuring and timing the release of these decisions to frame and influence the perception of the Court’s ostensible neutrality, in a conscious effort to camouflage their true objectives and ideological mission. You know, I used to defend that guy. I really wanted to believe that he cared about his legacy and that of the Supreme Court on his watch. I no longer believe that. He’s as much a Federalist Society ideologue as Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett. More culpable, in fact, because he has greater power to constrain his partisan hacks. And chooses not to. > [@Cervaise](#): > > The argument that Roberts is somehow the voice of conservative reason, reining in and tempering the worst impulses of the fascist lunatics on the Court, simply turns my stomach. He is absolutely not that. He is the friendly-faced conductor of the whole radical program, and, the way I see it, he’s deliberately organizing the Court’s activities to serve as propaganda, masking the disgusting reality. Very well said. I completely agree. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > Poor bastard. He doesn’t sound very remorseful or repentant for his actions. As the article linked above states: > [@](#): > > …DePape hit Paul Pelosi, then 82 years old, with a hammer, causing major injuries, including a skull fracture, but told the court that Paul Pelosi was “never my target.” > > “I’m sorry that he got hurt,” DePape said during the federal trial. “I reacted because my plan was basically ruined.” It sounds like is mostly sorry that Nancy Pelosi was not home, so that he was unable to terrorize her as he planned. And he was so upset that his plan was ruined that he attacked her husband with a hammer, giving the poor man life-threatening injuries. Fuck him. I hope he lives ~~a long, long time and rots in prison~~ long enough to gain true repentance for his deluded and evil actions. ---

Right now, I’m watching CNN. They have a reporter at Trump’s Abuquerque, NM rally. The reporter is reporting, naturally, but you can also hear the background music being played for the rally crowd. And what’s the background music? Elton John’s “Funeral for a Friend.” Somebody either didn’t look at the title of the track, or they _did_ look at the title of the track, and figured it was, shall we say, _suitable_. ---
