Trump's entire ethos is that he's above the law

While John Roberts has spent his entire career cherishing established norms and following the rules, Trump has spent HIS career exploiting them

Unless Roberts learns to adapt-which is very unlikely

Trump will continue to steamroll the Supreme Court
New in PN: John Roberts will save the judiciary if he has to burn it down

"As we saw this week, whenever there's a danger that the Trump administration might face real consequences for defying a court order, Roberts and company leap on the grenade to make sure it never happens."
John Roberts will save the judiciary if he has to burn it down
Appeasement never works. The chief justice is trying it anyway.

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

Everyone in America knew that Trump was Putin's piss boy.

Except MAGA.

Which is why the most shameless liar, traitor and biggest Russian asset in American history said: "I love the poorly educated."

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Felon/GOP/oligarchs are NOT lowering the high cost of living! Now they want to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)!

CFPB helps consumers putting $19.7B back in the pockets of Americans!

Felon/GOP/oligarchs want to remove CFPB to carry out their corrupt price hike scams!!!

The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info.

And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it?

That's some fucking bullshit.

He should have never been allowed to run for office, according to Section 3 of our 14th Amendment.

He, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, does not deserve the honor and prestige of the presidency.

He deserves scorn and derision. He deserves PRISON time.

The program is not new, although it is difficult to navigate. What Biden has done is what he always does: he gets things done for hard-working people. He makes their lives easier. I don’t see any indication that the incoming Trump/Vance/Musk troika shares any of that interest & concern. Do you?

The only upside to Donald Trump letting Elon Musk tug his strings like a puppeteer is that it lays bare a simple fact for all to see—

The Republican Party is completely owned by billionaire oligarchs. The corruption is right out in the open.
