Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Of fucking course.
Well I mean they are the worst of the bastards.
It's crazy that they don't even like throw one the other way every now and then that they know they're gonna lose anyway, to maintain some kind of air of legitimacy... But nope. Instead, they vote as if Putin has their extended families held hostage and is waiting to dose them all with carfentanyl the moment they veer off course.
But no, they're actually most likely just really shitty people.
You can't be a shitheel traitor if you don't engage in some shitheeling treachery, right?
Like, it's a fucked up headline, but I bet for a second you were like "wait a minute, is that real?" Which is both funny and sad at the same time concerning both Thomas and the times we live in. lol
Look he cant divorce his wife for weird fundamintalist reasons but if it gets annulled because he isnt a real person then hey not his fault.
and yet somehow, while not being a person, he will retain all his wealth and not owe her a thing because it was never a valid marriage.
If democrats don't clean house or stack the court when they retake th4 government Alito and Thomas will hold the door open for nazis and oligarchs
Clean house. Fully expose Trump and literally retcon everything he did, and seize his assets to fund it. All of Trump's nominees and appointments are illegitimate. Full stop.
Sadly, probably not the ones from his first term. Whether or not his second term election was actually legitimate and the machines were not fucked with is certainly more questionable. Plus there is a 14th argument that Trump should not be qualified to serve as president after the January 6th coup attempt.
Anyway, Alito and Thomas were appointed by George W. to begin with. Part of this shitshow is also down to Obama failing to successfully appoint someone to replace Antonin Scalia under the objections of Mitch fucking McConnell.
The other part is the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to step down when asked. When Obama started his second term, he asked RBG to step down, so he could appoint a new justice going into his second term. She refused, knowing that Hillary Clinton was going to run for president after Obama. RBG wanted to be able to say that she served with the first woman president. So she refused to step down, and Obama didn’t get to replace her when he had ample time to do so.
Instead, Hillary was about as charismatic as a can of spinach, Trump got elected, RBG kicked it, and we got fucking Amy “A Handmaid’s Tale was an instruction booklet” Barrett as a replacement.
They absolutely fucked with the machines in both 2020 and 2024. They just didn't do enough tampering in 2020. They perfected the tampering in 2024, and believe that they don't need to win an election ever again. Both elections show a clear "Russian Tail."

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
Thomas is a proxy vote for his wife Ginni.
Stop taking away agency from shithead fascists
Or... Start?
Either way, this idea that every conservative is just a puppet for the real evil is nonsense and weird, there can be more than one trash person.
I'm not taking it away. I'm including his piece of shit traitor of a wife into the fuck fest the pieces of shit are putting on
I'm bummed that they'll probably be replaced with younger justices by Trump this term, but at least it will be hard to find anyone worse.
Fucking great, now that you’ve jinxed it, Andrew Tate is going to get a seat.
Don't jinx it!
Thomas’s dissent stated he didn’t get anything lavish to go along with the ruling. Also, he didn’t get to show porn to anyone involved so he took his ball and went home.
