I can’t find the link now, but I read a report that Trump had the results of a rapid test before he went on “Hannity,” but chose to keep quiet about it.
Thus tweeteth Bill O’Reilly (yes, he’s still around):
God ole Bill. Convicted (in the sense that $45 million in settlements were exchanged in place of multiple trials) in sex abuse and sex harassment cases. He knows a lot about disease. Another enabler of Trump whose grave will fill with piss.
Forget, nothing. They are quite capable of talking out both sides of their ass simultaneously.
Matt Gaetz:
" President Trump won’t have to recover from COVID. COVID will have to recover from President Trump. #MAGA"
Justices Thomas and Alito say the Supreme Court should revisit the gay marriage ruling.
Conservative Justices Thomas and Alito Suggest Supreme Court Should 'Fix' Its Ruling That Legalized Gay Marriage?
Really? And if they do decide against same-sex marriage, what happens to all of those existing marriages?
What a maroon. Trump is the polar opposite of Chuck Norris.
Let’s face it: we all will have to recover from President Trump. The man is too toxic even for viruses.
I heard Matt Gaetz was nominated for the Nobble Prize for Super-Smartness!

Because of course they did.
By the time the Amy Covid Barrett Court has gotten through its first year, no doubt the Sacred Vote will once again belong only to straight white males of European origin. Just as Jesus intended.
Well, she’ll have to ask her husband how she should vote…
Bet she already does.
(Isn’t she a member of some Handmaid’s Tale-like organization?—and evidence of that is systematically being removed from the internet?)
I’m surprised that I’m not seeing more reporting of how Amy Covid Barrett, allegedly renowned for her wisdom and judgement -dragged her 7 unmasked children to Covidpalozza - including a special indoor super-spreader photo op.
I hope it comes up in her confirmation hearing.
Yeah, the reliance issues in a case like this would be huge. If you overturn Roe v. Wade, that simply allows states to prevent abortions going forward, but if you overturn Obergefell, you have to work out what to do with all of those states and institutions and human beings who relied on this as the law of the land for the past five years.
One good thing is that I think the social and cultural pendulum has swung so far in favor of gay marriage that it will be politically very difficult for all but the most reactionary state legislatures to re-enact their bans. I also think that if Dems take both houses of Congress and the White House, they would move very quickly to eliminate the old Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman for federal purposes. I think that even the Republicans might find it a hard sell, on the national level, to reinstate DOMA in the event that Obergefell is overturned.
No.
Look, I don’t like Amy Coney Barrett very much, and I’m sure I’ll disagree with plenty of the decisions she makes if (when?) she ends up on the court. But I think that a lot of the media stories about her religion over the past few weeks have been, quite frankly, dishonest and offensive. I’m not a big fan of the People of Praise, and I think that there’s probably a good chance that Coney Barrett’s decisions will be influenced, in a number of ways, by her religious faith. That could well be a big problem. But the stuff about the Handmaid’s Tale is crap, and much of the group’s teaching is pretty well in line with orthodox Catholicism, even if their rituals and practices are, in some ways, closer to those of evangelical Protestant groups.
It’s true that the People of Praise website has removed references to her, but those references are still available on the Internet Archive, and the media has ensured that everyone in the world now knows about this obscure religious group with fewer than 2000 members. It’s not exactly a secret. And we also don’t know why they removed the information; it might have been more to protect them from excessive public attention than to protect the judge.
As for whether the group makes efforts to limit women’s opportunities or make women sacrifice their careers (or whatever) for husband and family, it might be a bit hard to make that case in a hearing where she is being considered for probably the most prestigious job in one of America’s most prestigious and well-paid professions.
“Judge Barrett, you currently serve on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and are under consideration to be only the fifth woman ever to ascend to the US Supreme Court. Just how much more successful do you think you could have been, personally and professionally, if the People of Praise hadn’t had that woman-oppressing boot on your neck for the past 20 years?”
I’m guessing that while the Republicans are picking Supremes there won’t be any more Jews, amirite?
Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which oversees the airlines and transportation policy in general, had his mask off for extended periods on a Delta flight.
That question bounced right off Phyllis Schlafly for years. She was clearly more prominent than her husband and had a much more public, lucrative, and influential career, all while fighting to ensure other women would not have similar opportunities.
Arkansas Republican county chair dies from covid after hosting a maskless gathering.
That’s what happens when you follow trump’s advice not to be afraid of covid-19.
Sounds likely. Not that they’d make such exclusions explicit, of course. (This leads me to wonder if the Federalist Society or Heritage Foundation have ever included any judges of Jewish background on their lists of recommendations…)

It should. It’s a valid question about her judgment.
Supreme Court Justices should not have abysmal judgment. As a kind of minimum requirement.
