MAGAThread XX: A Journal of the Plague Year

[Geneviev]

God help us all if he does. I want the best for Trump, just not in the White House after January 20.

If people elect Trump again knowing now exactly what sort of President he is, I'm sad to say my sympathy for the American public will be... much reduced.

Most Americans already didn't vote for him in 2016. That's what I have to keep telling people who are in Germany, because Americans as a whole do deserve sympathy.

[Nobel Hobos 2]

That's quite true. He can still throw his weight around before then.

If Trump's people have been listening to what people on both sides say about judge Barrett, he might pull the nomination and try again with someone guaranteed barking mad. Justice Bannon, anyone?

And the Founders in their wisdom put no numerical limit on how many criminals the President can pardon

Amy Barrett is already barking mad though.

She's a cultist and member of the evangelical Catholic organization that inspired Handmaid's Tale.

I take the view that justices influence each other over time, and though she might vote the 'wrong' way every time, it takes someone not-mad to write the decisions. If she really is a "literalist" she won't have much influence.

"Yes Amy, thankyou, we've all read the Constitution, we're Supreme Court Justices here."

Oh, is this thread a Biden rally?

Get used to it. The writing is on the collapsing wall of MAGA. Imagine that day that will come when not one word of out of Donald Trump's mouth will be heard on any TV anywhere. When he's Gone Daddy Gone... gone away!

No one:
Amy Barrett: "Did you guys know that a literal interpretation of the constitution invalidates Brown v. Board, and instead of considering that maybe that means a literal interpretation is a bad thing, we should just throw out Brown v. Board?"

Oh? Got a source for that?

[Albrenia]

I question the morality of someone who forces children to sit through hours of SCOTUS confirmation hearing stuff just to use them as props for how awesome they are.

Yeah, that was false.

[Jerzylvania]

Fret not. It's end is coming soon, like the kiss from a gone missing and presumably lost lover. It will be a beautiful moment of embrace. Trust me on this,

I will fret, because there's a chance he could win.

Ye of little faith. Trust my gift - the visions of November redemption. Politically, Trump's a dead man walking.

Anyone who takes the Handmaid's Tale seriously is a lunatic, and Barrett is not a cultist.
What does she believe that is out of the ordinary for a traditional Catholic?

The bare minimum, at least.

That's probably one of the more tame uses of children as political props in DC anyways.

Even Caesar lost his seat as consul, and the elite sighed in relief too soon.

Human morality shields. Accusations that the judge was seen cavorting naked with the Devil can't be made with children in the room.

What does she believe that is out of the ordinary for a traditional Catholic?

Well exactly. Nothing crazier than the ordinary traditional Catholic.

If it's in the Catshitism it's probably right. I see no problem there.

[San Lumen]

Mmmmm... like being reborn again.

Ain't it grand!

The fact that we have 20 of these is depressing.

I hope they end soon by Trump losing the election .

Don't be too optimistic yet.

I would like to repeat the point that her organization was not the one that inspired the catechism.

And I'd like to repeat my point that "ordinary traditional Catholic" is quite crazy enough, when it comes to Supreme Court Justices. And given the assumption which ND hasn't challenged, that she will let her religious beliefs influence her judicial thinking.

Your case is that she's likely even crazier than that. Carry on.

I’m not sure what case exactly you think I’m making, but it would be nice if you did not try and read into my posts.

I will not count my chickens until the election is called for Biden.

How many of these did Obama and Bush inspire? Wasn't it none?
