NPR is the best we can get, there's not one national news org truly about the people, not corporate consumption and profits. So they need some red pen from time to time.

Public Notice · John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him.By David R. Lurie

This is rich. Roberts is the same Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court that invented from whole cloth the doctrine of "presidential immunity" just for Donald Trump, so that Trump is absolutely above the law in pretty much everything, for at least as long as he remains in office, and he can't be prosecuted after (if?) he leaves for anything he did while in office.

The rule of law *did* govern. John Roberts, you're the one who threw that notion into the burning dumpster of the current republican-partisan-hack-dominated Supreme Court to do your old pal Donnie a favour.

Trouble is, Roberts FA'ed, but now *everyone* is in the FO phase.

The Sadies love me and I love them. The desert is a little bit warm for me though, but my new Trump tower there is gonna be beautiful only 20 million for a condo for you.
I can’t wait to get a new airplane. I’m so tired of these old ones. The best part is I get to keep it after I’m not president anymore.

How dare that congresswoman allow my masked armed agents to shove her into one of their fellow agents. Why she wasn’t arrested on the spot I don’t understand. My ice troops are my favorite troops. They are here to protect America from the radical left. We will put in jail whoever we want to whenever we want to.

Acc/to a statement by #KenPaxton’s office, a grand jury returned indictments against Rochelle Camacho, the county #judge of Frio County; Carlos Segura, a former elections administrator for Frio; Ramiro Trevino & Racheal Garza, #CouncilMembers for the city of Pearsall; Adriann Ramirez, a trustee w/the #school district in Pearsall; & Rosa Rodriguez, who is described as an “alleged Frio County vote harvester.”

If you avoid doing something that would bring you joy, simply because you are worried about what others might think or say about you, then you are not living your life -- you are living theirs.

Be yourself, in all your weird glory..
