> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > Wondering if this judge will be needing a security detail now. He’ll need a post-dated pardon from President Biden. If Joe were really on it, he would have issued a bunch of pardons with the subject blank and then sell them on an auction marketplace. It would have thoroughly tarnished his legacy and opened up an entirely new venue of self-dealing enrichment, but at this point we’re just on a Slip’N’Slide to the bottom anyway. Stranger ---

This judge is a Reagan appointee, which means smearing him as a “far left radical” is going to be difficult, and it’s a reassuring preview of how other judges are going to receive the admin’s nonsensical argument that the Constitution doesn’t say what it says. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > I was going to put this in the evil mofos thread for the death threats she’s been getting, but Episcopal Bishop of Washington’s Mariann Edgar Budde’s pushback against Trump’s childishly idiotic apology demands has prompted me to post here instead. You know the magaflateathers are pulling out all of their best insults against her. Besides death threats, she’s a communist, woke, a traitor, and even a lesbian. I’m sure that last bit comes as quite the surprise to her husband. By the way, afer Trump’s stunt at Saint John’s, the Episcopal Church really should have had him trespassed from all of their properties. But since they’re the Christians he isn’t, they haven’t. > [@Smapti](#): > > This judge is a Reagan appointee, which means smearing him as a “far left radical” is going to be difficult, Doesn’t seem so hard for the magaflatearthers to do. > [@Der\_Trihs](#): > > He disagrees with God-King Trump, which makes him a far left radical and a traitor to both America and humanity itself. As far as the magaflatearthers are concerned, there’s no longer any such thing as treason against America. The only thing they care about is treason against Trump. ---

You’re kidding, right? This is the party that smeared Lynne Cheney, drove Paul Ryan and many other deeply conservative normative Republicans out of Congress, and censured Cindy McCain for the inviolate sin of saying that she supported candidates who held their duty to county over party. Being a “Reagan appointee” is no longer any guarantee of respect or deference from Republicans as the GOP has mutated from a center-right political polity to a cult of personality around Donald Trump.

Trump is obviously the living embodiment of the nation itself. Kind of like… oh, jeez, what’s the word? You know, the thing the Framers so emphatically rejected in 1776? What George III was. Damn. Gimme a sec, I’ll think of it… ---
