They did. Because they thought they could control him, like the hands of the King. They presumed the true power was theirs. Well surprise surprise, lady and gentlemen... the monster eats judges, too.
Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, Roberts—they’ve unleashed this monster.
So now that a judge is under attack, Chief Justice John Roberts wakes up to push back. Wasn’t he the guy who wrote immunity was needed so the President wouldn’t be deterred “from taking the bold and unhesitating action required of an independent Executive”? Like what you did now, Justice Roberts?

My Cool Friend Michelle
Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

RFK Jr. & his brain worm would just like to remind everyone that he doesn’t give a flying fuck.

‘If H5N1 were to be allowed to run through a flock of 5 million birds, “that’s literally 5 million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,” Dr. Hansen said.😱

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.
