    This does not bode well for democracy. This illegitimate SCOTUS was hand crafted by fascists to support fascism.

      Which is why they should make their decision soon. If they rule he has immunity, then Biden will have time to commit whatever crimes against Trump he can and would then be immune from prosecution for it. Personally, I’m hoping for a public caning.

          Well that’s just the top of the list. I’ll leave anything worse for others to write out. 😂

          Yeah, everyone shows up with a cane and one-by-one hits him with their cane and then shoves it up his butt. Whoever makes him pop like a pinata gets their picture on his Wikipedia page.

          How about if we get The SloMo Guys to film it?

          You are failing to remember how vain Trump is, a public caning would destroy every ounce of him psychologically, but I think he should get a public caning after he gets the Cersei Lannister walk of shame treatment.

        Pick flogging, flogging sounds more fun to watch.

          As someone with (consensual) experience with both - caning hurts more (for me, anyway).

          Cane someone on the soles of their feet and make them walk afterward? That’s good sadism.

      The SCOTUS has its fair share of shits on it, but they are not a simple “do what Republicans want” machine (aside from Alito and Thomas).

      Literally just today, they announced a ruling allowing Washington state to ban gay conversion “therapy”. They’ve already riled against Trump multiple times in other cases.

      Don’t count on that happening. They like those perks of the job, and a dictator has no need for a supreme court. If they want to maintain their cushy lifestyle, they need to keep the authoritarians from completely subverting democracy.

        This right here is bald truth, and I’ll bet you a dollar it’s crossed all of their minds. Except for Thomas. Thomas has a one-track mind and it has no room for anything except its one preferred thought, which is “I will make them all wish they hadn’t talked about that pubic hair” on repeat, ad infinitum.
