I’m not so sure about Thomas and Alito, but I don’t see any of the others joining them.
Especially since he looks the part, right out of central casting.

And now, The President’s Brain Is Missing , Major Announcement Edition.
“The whole world is watching and they can’t leave the power, strength, and brilliance.”
“We have so much gas”
“We just learned that out”
“There would have been no Middle East and no Israel right now”
“On the batterfer”
“I will never let that happen, and neither should any of our past presidents”
You are saying that like it’s a good thing.

In the context of the admin claiming that the Constitution doesn’t say what everyone has agreed for the last 160 years that it unambiguously says, it certainly is.
Given the SCOTUS case load, it would seem that a whole lot of Americans have been arguing/litigating the ambiguities for most of those 160 years.

Speaking of litigation, the felon’s administration doesn’t want a 5-year old on the outside .
The federal government may try to send 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos back to detention.
The Justice Department filed a notice of appeal Wednesday in federal court in Texas, challenging a January ruling that freed the 5-year-old Minnesota resident and his father , Adrian Conejo Arias, from an immigration detention facility. The father and son were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during a crackdown in the Minneapolis area earlier this year, drawing nationwide attention.
The filing, obtained by CBS News, takes the fight to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. If the government succeeds, the two could find themselves back in detention.
“The first time they came for us it was unjust. The second time they came for us is unjust. We are not giving into their fear,” Adrian Conejo Arias told CBS News through his attorney, Danielle Molliver. He also sent a message of gratitude to people around the world who have advocated on their behalf, saying, “Thank you to all those who continue to support and love us.”
He can be sued! Shout it from the mountaintops!
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is not immune from civil claims that he incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol on Jan, 6, 2021, a federal judge has ruled in one of the last unresolved legal cases stemming from the riot.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled Tuesday that Trump’s remarks at his “Stop the Steal” rally, held on the Ellipse near the White House shortly before the siege began, “plausibly” were inciting words that are not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
The Republican president is not shielded from liability for much of his Jan. 6 conduct, including that speech and many of his social media posts that day, according to the judge. But Mehta said Trump cannot be held liable for his official acts that day, including his Rose Garden remarks during the riot and his interactions with Justice Department officials.
“President Trump has not shown that the Speech reasonably can be understood as falling within the outer perimeter of his Presidential duties,” Mehta wrote. “The content of the Ellipse Speech confirms that it is not covered by official-acts immunity."
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Democratic Party leaders sue the felon over his DPRKesque takeover EO.
Democratic Party leaders filed suit Wednesday to block President Donald Trump’s attempt to limit voting by mail ahead of the midterm elections.
Democrats argue that an executive order Trump signed at the White House on Tuesday, which creates an approved list of absentee voters among other actions, is an unconstitutional interference in the power of states to regulate elections.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joined the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Governors Association in suing to challenge the order.
“President Trump possesses no such authority to order such a sweeping change to American elections,” the suit argues .
Yep, the felon’s going to try to pull us out of NATO.
President Donald Trump suggested in two new interviews that he’s considering withdrawing the US from NATO after repeatedly criticizing a lack of support from members for the Iran war.
Asked by the right-leaning British publication The Telegraph in an interview published Wednesday if he would reconsider the US’ membership of NATO after the war, Trump said: “Oh yes, I would say (it’s) beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin knows that too, by the way.”
The president doubled down in an interview with Reuters, saying he is “absolutely” considering trying to withdraw the US from NATO and previewed that he will be criticizing the military alliance during his primetime address to the nation Wednesday night.
“They haven’t been friends when we needed them,” Trump told Reuters. “We’ve never asked them for much … it’s a one-way street.”
Having served in western Europe during the NATO vs Warsaw Pact days, I’ll have to say, the felon is, as always, full of it.
Vance talks being Catholic; doesn’t know what a Catholic church buildling is.
Vice President JD Vance ’s upcoming book is set to detail his “personal journey” back to Catholicism , but the cover of his work embarrassingly appears to depict a church of a different Christian denomination.
“Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith” — announced by the veep on Tuesday and set to be released in June — features a cover that includes a church below a dreamy sky nestled somewhere in a country, hill-ish environment, seemingly an effort to bring the Vance family’s roots in Appalachia to mind.
The church in the image, as noted by The Bulwark’s Joe Perticone on Tuesday, is not so Catholic.
In fact, it depicts Mount Zion Church , a United Methodist place of worship in Elk Creek, Virginia.
Alex Jones no longer supports the felon.
Conspiracy theorist and podcaster Alex Jones said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump was in “freefall,” claiming that it was time to “cut the bait” on the president before the upcoming midterms.
Jones, a longtime supporter of Trump in his first term, has frequently criticized the president in recent months over everything from Trump’s attacks on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), his administration’s handling of the documents relating to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the aging president’s health .
The podcaster upped the ante on Tuesday’s edition of The Alex Jones Show , claiming Republican candidates needed to distance themselves from Trump while campaigning in the midterm elections.
Ann Telnaes agrees about Thomas and Alito.
I’d strongly suspect that he (or, more likely, his publisher) picked a piece of licensed photography of an attractive church building, and gave no thought to whether it was a Catholic church.

Quote from article below:
…[trump] doesn’t think she has “executed on his vision” in the way that he wants.
Translation: she didn’t persecute / prosecute his enemies in the way that he wants.
Best comment from Reddit that I saw:
Trump doesn’t have a cabinet. He has a junk drawer
BobLibDem:
“I will never let that happen, and neither should any of our past presidents”
You got that Washington and Lincoln? Don’t let that happen!.
So the president of the United States does not appear appear to be oriented to time, space or person (and other functional categories).
And it is broadcast on international media!
What a disaster!

I’m… not even sure WHAT’S going on with this one.
That…makes no sense whatsoever.
Sure it does. Davy Crockett, an exceptionally white person from the past as depicted on 50s television whose political opinions aren’t much discussed, would be proud of a random Texan politician who happens to share his surname. The fact that Jasmine Crockett is a black Democrat is immaterial.
Well Davy Crockett did die at the Alamo fighting for Texas Independence, so it could be said that Davy should be proud of Jasmine as part of his Texas legacy. I just have a hard time believing TFG would make that compliment, at least intentionally and rationally.
