We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

It’s completely uncabined narcissism. Trump has spent his entire life indulging in extraordinary narcissistic fantasies about himself, but now the entire elite of the United States has convinced itself that it’s savvy to indulge those fantasies, so they metastasize into utter megalomania.

How messed up is this? Trump and the GOP's talking point was “people need to do it the right way and go through the legal process". People ARE doing it "the right way" but are being setup and arrested when a judge dismisses their case. Judges are being told how to rule. Evil incarnate.

trump’s “efficiency”: torch 500 tons of kids’ food so MAGA can thump its chest. 1.5 million kids could’ve eaten, but trump’s regime would rather incinerate life-saving aid than let brown children survive. This isn’t foreign policy. It’s white nationalist spite with a death toll.

1/2 Misogynist Trump just rescinded Biden’s emergency abortion protections under EMTALA. This is a death sentence. More women will die in ERs because hospitals are no longer required to provide life-saving abortions. Trump made it easier to turn patients away.
