The Reptile Patrol on the Supreme Court is taking the McMansion
approach to the legal system in this country.
Instead of recognizing the quaint charm of the over 200
year-old edifice, which needed nothing more than systematic
upgrades, they've decided to toss the whole thing in the
wood-chipper and rebuild it to the specifications of a 12th
century gothic cathedral, a monument to their belief in
themselves as the new Popes.
There will be plenty of room for assemblies of the rich
and powerful, a few torture chambers should anyone get bored
and, of course, a variety of rape rooms for the Trump cartel.
-------------
The SCOTUS "immunity" ruling was worse than you thought.
Not only does SCOTUS now allow Presidents they
personally support to do whatever they like, it also allows
the same court to legally hamstring any decision of a President
they DON'T like.
They, after, will decide what's "official" and
what isn't.
--------------
Putin called it "a special military operation".
SCOTUS called it "official acts".
Both are euphemisms for "legalizing murder".
------------------
The right claims that President Biden stumbled during
the debate because he couldn't depend on a teleprompter.
Trump, of course, didn't need a teleprompter. Who needs
one when you're pulling every statement out of your ass?
-----------------
Let's never forget that Trump slept and drooled on himself
nearly every day that he was in court, and that his workday
in the White House was typically from noon-to-tee time.
Mr. Biden is mitochondriacally-challenged but Trump is
hardly a whirlwind of synaptic fury.
------------------
There's whispery talk of Joe stepping aside and allowing
Kamala to step into his shoes. She's not the shooting
star of
the likes of Mr. Obama but the age factor immediately
shifts from Joe to.... Donald.
Yes, suddenly Donald would be too old to be president.
Mr. Biden's age
was of utmost importance to right-wing media so it would
be interesting to see what Hiroshima-level of hypocrisy
would manifest in the ensuing coverage between the
two.
They'd go from "Democrat too old" to "Democrat too Black,
uh, I mean, too inexperienced" in about a zeptosecond.

Technical Note: Monday's 'toon, featuring "Billy"
and "Tommy", turned out to be the 3rd-highest
rated 'toon I've ever
posted to Reddit since 2015. Emotions were running high
on both sides of the argument but the day ended with over
11,000 up-votes
and an 82% approval rate.
And, no, I didn't read the comments. I didn't whack my
head with a ball-peen hammer, either.

Happy Holiday weekend and more, everyone! Enjoy your Democracy...
while you still have it.
