No one said that life was fair

But does it have to be this evil?

Diabolical illogical

It'll leave you feeling feeble

It ain't five-dimensional chess

It's dementia doin' its best

A-ring-a-ding-ding

Ya got the mad king

And he's mean when he's depressed

This is like boasting that a vial of crack wrote your stateโ€™s drug policy.

The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that excludes people like him, or deports them back to their oppressors, as right now with many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Today's SCOTUS decision makes it crystal clear that three justices will let Trump do literally anything he wants. Screw the Constitution, the law, facts, morals, and ethics.
It should have been 9-0.

Justice Gorsuch on the importance of Congress and the legislative process related to today's SCOTUS decision on tariffs. Well said.

my big takeaway is that the supreme court should work faster. i don't think it makes sense to have an illegal tax for nine months while people go on book tour.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
