Also someone's gotta give AOC a guard. Even if Orange hasn't mentioned her by name at one of his lil pep rallies yet, it is bound to happen.

If it keeps going in this direction, America isn't going to be America anymore.

Joan McCarter at Daily Kos:

The U.S. Supreme Court heard Donald Trump’s immunity claim in his federal criminal trial for trying to overturn the 2020 election Thursday, and the conservative majority is likely going to give Donald Trump what he wants: a delay of the trial until after the election. If Trump wins again, the conservatives have essentially signaled that they would be open to blanket immunity for him against any future criminal charges.   The fact that Supreme Court justices are suggesting that the president is above the law proves why the court must be reformed. Four of the justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch—even went so far as to suggest that special counsel Jack Smith’s entire prosecution is unconstitutional, and they reinforced Trump’s argument that the president is immune. Kavanaugh even told Michael Dreeben, a lawyer from Smith’s office, that it’s a “serious constitutional question whether a criminal statute can apply to the president’s criminal acts.”

That would be the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card for the chief executive, rubber stamped by the highest court of the land. It’s worth remembering that Thomas refused to recuse himself from this—and most of the Trump election interference cases—despite the fact that his wife, Ginni Thomas, was deeply involved in Trump’s coup attempt. When she testified to the Jan. 6 special congressional committee, she maintained that the election was stolen.  His failure to recuse himself comes after a new ethics code has supposedly been enforced, saying that “a Justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, that is, where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant circumstances would doubt that the Justice could fairly discharge his or her duties.” So much for that suggestion from Chief Justice John Roberts. His code has no teeth, which is yet another reason why ethics reform—and indeed court reform and expansion—is essential. 

Joan McCarter writes in Daily Kos that the Trump v. United States "immunity" case is a good reason to reform and expand SCOTUS.

And Idk about anyone else, but some women writers are capable of juggling multiple shows. JP-alikes are not.

If there's any semblance of actual 'girl power' in some shows, it's because of the badassery of the actress. Nothing to do with the woman writer in charge of her lines.

#JP really fucking messed up Originals #both out of spite and out of having no time #and SR #Grey's anatomy is dry and boring and it should've ended like a couple season after Derek died

Look how much he's putting into that kiss. Idk if this is just after Emma told him she loved him, but she's at the risk of going off to die, and she's the only person in three hundred years to say it.

That, and they've been planning for a future together, which idk if they'd talked like that off-screen, but it's a new thing for them to plan now. Emma was too scared to plan for the future before, cause what if he died? He's helped her be brave enough to try.

And now that's all at the risk of being in jeopardy.
