Yet again:
♦️ @theonion.com provides more spot-on political analysis than most non-parody news sites.

Fact-Check: 50% right.
♦️Three Supreme Court justices are indeed "fools and lap dogs."
♦️But they're the ones (Alito, Thomas & Kavanaugh) who ruled that Trump is king.

Also:
♦️Three others-- Roberts, Gorsuch, and Coney-Barrett-- are also fools and lap dogs. But they ruled properly here.

Exactly as predicted.

There will be another lawsuit, and it too will drag on for a year.
And if that has a similar outcome, he'll just do it again with a third bogus #tariff authority.

The Supreme Court won't stop him.
Congress won't stop him.
Only we can stop him.

The question is: Will we?

The NYT reporter, Adam Liptak, is experienced enough to know better. Why does he pretend he's dumber than he really is?
♦️Of course SCOTUS will rule against Trump occasionally. He'll just re-impose the #tariffs using a different law-- and SCOTUS knows it.
♦️Everyone knows it. Even Adam Liptak.

We know, Scott.
-It's already in the pockets of your master and your fellow toadies.

Also:
--2020, February: Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, Bloomberg and probably a dozen others out in front at various moments.
--2021, January: Prez Joe Biden.

Trump illegally imposed billions in tariffs (taxes) on U.S. corporations. Much of those costs were passed onto consumers. The corporations might get their money back. You never will.

Mr President, I think I speak for the whole nation, and the whole world: Stop taking your pent-up frustrations out on the rest of us.

🔷Call this "very powerful, strong man" right this minute, and just f*cking go for it.

Pundits are spinning the Supreme Court's ruling on #tariffs as a pushback on Trump's autocracy.

Quite the opposite:
♦️He'll just replace the IAPA tariffs with an identical set, under a different bogus authority. And it will take years to get that litigated.
♦️Three justices actually bought his line.

For a guy whose lies flow as freely as water from a garden-hose...
...He doesn't make much effort to hide his most horrific ponderings:

You kidding? Each one of these bad boys is hotter than the last!

It's almost as if slapping a massive tax on every single American (except the ultra-rich) might HURT the economy.

Left, my story about how the right wing ex-Honduran president was given special treatment after he was pardoned for drug trafficking - and had his ICE detainer dropped.

Right, a story about a man who spent 43 yrs in prison for a wrongful conviction & was deported once his convicted was overturned

Bored of Peace

A more coherent explanation of his rationale for taking us to war than anything actually articulated by the President of the United States:

Yes. Because that was the point of Rob Reiner's MAGA-before-its-time movie:
♦️Society would be a lot better if all men could just learn to channel their inner sadistic psychopath.

DOCTOR Rümeysa Öztürk has earned her PhD!!

In a best-case scenario: That's exactly what will happen

I don't know what they did to him in the police station...
...but kudos to the photo editor:

Try to look at or listen to Jared...
...and not think of his twin:

This alters my decision never to buy one by:
-$15,000 x 0%.

So...still welcome at the White House?

Well, that and being gifted a 20% stake in his multi-billionaire daddy's company.

Fun fact:
♦️The US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 ) gives Congress-- not the President-- the sole right to determine how the nation spends its money.

If Congress still existed, perhaps they'd have something to say about this:

Counterpoint:
♦️We should be prepared for the next Dem Administration (assuming there ever is one) to appoint another Merrick Garland as AG, and another Republican (or Dem masquerading as one) as FBI Director.

Definitely shouldn't.
But don't be surprised if that's what happens.

Alternate headline:
♦️ESPN replaces one quasi-sport with two actual sports.

A second-tier scandal in Trump 1.0 would be a presidential obituary in a normal administration.

A fifth-tier scandal in Trump 2.0 would be first-tier scandal in Trump 1.0.

One uses math.

"He's a real stiff."
-Trump, on Jon Ossoff.

Because he thinks this guy isn't enough of a hottie to serve alongside Mitch McConnell.

Because she knew better than to work out in mom-jeans.
And she could kick Kid Rock's ass.
