This is June, the last month the Roberts Supremely Corrupt Kangaroo Court meets before those lazy ass bastards take three months off. I guess it takes time to process all of those bribes. But the “decisions” have to be handed down first, right? A lot of those get handed down at the end of June so the Court Jesters can issue their upside-down rulings and slither out of Washington DC in the dark of night.
They decide their crappiest decisions using a “thought” process they’ve dubbed “originalism.” They think, despite the fact that our Constitution was written 238 years ago, the words should apply exactly the same today as they applied then. Well, most of them. I’ve noticed the black guy isn’t agitating to be two-thirds of a person and the conservative woman manages to support her own existence outside the home as well. So, SOME updates are fine, apparently. It’s only those that can be twisted to support current, insane conservative ideology that need originalism.
The way high court is considering whether or not drug addicts should be allowed to own guns. They’re trying to contextualize the question by looking at how much alcohol the Founding Fathers drank, calling it a nice corollary to drug addiction. The thinking seems to be that if the Founders were intoxicated all day and THEY owned guns, well, fire away Meth-heads.
This next bit is lifted from the Wall Street Journal: “Advocates of originalism say this sort of backward-looking reasoning is the only way to prevent modern judges or legislatures from abridging individual rights ratified in the Constitution. I get people who see it as sounding crazy,” said Kostas Moros, a director at the Second Amendment Foundation. “But that’s what we agreed to. If it’s not tied to that original meaning, then it means nothing at all.”
See? The original meaning. You know, of up to HALF of the sentence that makes up the Second Amendment. See, when I read the Second, it doesn’t start with “…the right to bear arms…” It starts with “A well-regulated militia being necessary…” Well-regulated. Original words.
To me, “well-regulated” suggests somebody, somewhere DOES have the right to regulate guns and gun ownership. It suggest we don’t really have to arm Meth addicts. But since arming meth addicts and their ilk is the stupidest, most dangerous, and outrageous position a society could possibly take, I’ll be looking for the Kangaroos to support that model as “original…”

Really? The Democrats are rigging the election SO diabolically, it’s not possible to find any evidence of it? The LACK of proof that rigging has occurred is, itself, proof that rigging has occurred? Clearly, the GOP thinks you’re too stupid for words. Sadly, I’m actually watching to see who really is…
Lack of proof is not proof and it never will be. But, hey, wanna play a game? Anything you say that you absolutely cannot prove is automatically true, based on the idea that there’s absolutely no evidence. MAGA Mike the Johnson has gay sex with his own son at least twice a week. (They BOTH have to turn off their phones!) See? I have no evidence of that. That’s how devious their plan is. But all I had to do was look.
Okay, your turn. What other things do we know about MAGA Mike for which we absolutely cannot provide even a shred of evidence, so it MUST be true? I’ll bet there’s a lot…

Some people in Shasta County, here in California, are trying to eliminate mail-in voting. These are simple folk, people of the Earth. They don’t understand things like votin’ and countin’ and all that there processin.’ And they don’t care that their latest effort, Measure B, is in violation of state law. They want mail-in voting eliminated because of all of that falderal they believe about mail-in ballots. None of it’s true, mind you. But they believe it and that’s good enough for them. It’s probably the complete lack of evidence. See how effective that is?
Here’s the part I liked best in this story: 88% of the people who voted in support of getting rid of mail-in ballots, did so on mail-in ballots! Way to walk the walk, there, cons…

Okay, this story is from Fox Not-News so it’s not some liberal spin. There’s this town in Texas called Trinidad. I’ve never been there but it sounds like a terrible place to live. It seems like the officials of the town are engaged in serious corruption and they don’t want anybody interfering. This is a little tidbit from the story I read: “People complain online about local problems every day. They post about roads, trash pickup, schools, taxes, crime and public utilities.” Yeah, sounds lovely.
But their water is the focus of this bit. Apparently, it’s undrinkable. Trinidad officials could fix the problem, but that takes lucre out of their own pockets and they won’t have that. So a woman named Jennifer Combs set up a Facebook page where she collected complaints about the local water and forwarded them to the proper officials.
That’s an excellent way to communicate with community leaders and help them focus on areas of greatest need, right? Not in Texas. Well, not in Trinidad, Texas. Officials there arrested her and charged her with a felony. A Grand Jury wouldn’t pursue the matter so the charges were dropped. But during her costly process, a local protestor heard about what was happening and protested outside city hall. He was arrested for offending a water clerk.
But the clerk later said she wasn’t offended and refused to sign a statement saying she was – so the city fired her. Then, the judge trying the case of the protestor found no cause and dismissed the case – so the city fired him. Get used to this kind of thing, folks. This is what corruption looks like. MAGA loves it. MAGA wants it, so we’re all going to get it, like it or not…

Oh, and speaking of things MAGA apparently loves, inflation! Donny said he loves the inflation. His support is still that solid, MAGA 34%, because nothing he does will turn them away. File this under yet another promise made, promise not kept…
