This thread is not about Covid, lockdowns, or vaccines. It is about Donald Trump. While Trump was in office during the pandemic and his response to Covid is relevant, there are pertinent threads for you to post your opinions on those things in.

It might also do with reminding a few that when you post on the SRP, you are responsible for backing up/verifying your claims to fact.

There was always more than one swamp.

It’s all one swamp, it just has different depths

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday denied President-elect Donald J. Trump’s emergency bid to halt his criminal sentencing in New York, all but ensuring it would proceed as planned on Friday.

After a series of unsuccessful legal maneuvers in New York State courts, the former and future president had hoped to prevail before a friendlier audience: a Supreme Court with a 6-to-3 conservative majority that includes three justices Mr. Trump appointed during his first term.

But the court opted to stay out of the case for now, despite having come to Mr. Trump’s rescue in a string of other recent matters. In July, the justices granted former presidents broad immunity for their official acts, undermining a separate criminal case against Mr. Trump in Washington.

The guy who will be US president in a few weeks just referred to the governor of California as “Gavin Newscum”.

Let that sink in. This guy is about to become president of the USA.

His 4 crooked justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh still all voted to grant his request surprise, surprise. Thank goodness the other five did not.

President-elect Donald Trump said he respects the Supreme Court’s decision to deny his request to stop his sentencing in New York v. Trump from moving forward, but said Thursday night he will appeal, while stressing that "lawfare" has been an "attack on the Republican Party."

Trump’s comments came just moments after the Supreme Court denied Trump’s emergency petition to block his sentencing from taking place on Friday, Jan. 10. The sentencing was scheduled by New York Judge Juan Merchan.

100%. and to think these craven creeps have lifetime appointments. and at least in one case, is overtly corrupt.

US Supreme Court declines 5-4 to interfere in Trump's sentencing hearing for his state law crimes. The only possible justification for the minority position is craven abandonment of the rule of law, an exotic but increasingly prominent legal principle in American jurisprudence.

this is a brilliant piece.

“Regardless of motivations, from Tim Cook to Mark Zuckerberg, America’s most privileged class is proactively engaging in Faustian Capitalism, selling America’s democratic soul to make a quick buck”

Faustian Capitalism

After decades of faux displays of "corporate social responsibility," it's clear that big business and ultrawealthy individuals will happily sacrifice democracy for a little extra cash.

Great news!

Even worse, both that wannabe nazi, and kids cancer charity grifter. Flew out without giving a f**k about those homeless men. Donald Trump Jr could easily have got them off the streets. But no surprise to see the worst of MAGA here. It was all about using people for a photo op, and to push a fake story about Greenland being MAGA lovers. Surprised the Danish even allowed these two stains to even enter the country.

Well they've got grounds to refuse their father (a convicted felon) entry into their country

Just reading about the Supreme Courts ruling today re Trump case in NY.
5 to 4
Donald J. Trump’s emergency bid to halt his criminal sentencing in New York, all but ensuring it would proceed as planned on Friday.

In a brief unsigned order, a five-justice majority noted that Mr. Trump was not facing jail time and that he could still challenge his conviction “in the ordinary course on appeal.”

Although Mr. Trump had argued that being sentenced 10 days before his inauguration would distract from the presidential transition, the majority held, “The burden that sentencing will impose on the president-elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial.”

The majority included Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Sonia Sotomayor; Amy Coney Barrett; Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Four of the court’s conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh — noted dissents without providing reasons.

Surprised Amy Barrett did not vote with Alito,Thomas and co.

Looks a lot like Trump’s part of the dreaded swamp now.

A rich billionaire realestate mogul. He is the swamp.

You're cancelling your family members, friends and acquaintances over different political views
You've actively alienated yourself to a small niche group of people to fit in with the party line trotted out by your favorite politicians.
You're spending irretrievable energy posting in angst on a forum, in your recreational time, about the politician whom the politician you are cheerleading for doesn't like.
You've irrevocably destroyed your mental wellbeing and faculties. You will never have a healthy, optimistic and positive outlook on life ever again because of political views.
You've consigned yourself to a miserable cesspit where those closest to you drag you down the moment you secure a foothold on the rung above them

Meanwhile big Dubya just casually belly tapping Obama and Trump having a 20 minute conversation with your boy (plenty of jokes and laughs no less!)

Do you see it, bigfooty socialists?

No you don't, you poor saps
