The recent flurry of almost unbelievable rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court prompted our friend Geoffrey Deihl (@gdeihl) to go off on a rant. Here are a few choice bits...
___________________________

We are witnessing the culmination of a decades long coup d'état by an increasingly unpopular minority party that stands for racism, greed, and enslavement.

The enemy is the billionaires who have stolen the American Dream from all of us, liberal or conservative. The conservatives, aided by decades of lies from the likes of Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and numerous other players, have nearly destroyed our country.

Our political system is no longer of the people, for the people, and by the people. It is of the arms industry, for the lobbyists, and by AIPAC, the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee. That’s where the interests of our elected leadership lies, in corporate and military might. They don’t care about you or me. It’s a zero-sum game, and peasants are always expendable, especially in an overpopulated world where resources are running out.

While one party is undeniably more evil in its corruption and presents a clear and immediate danger, both have contributed to the rise of the billionaire class that really runs the show, monsters whose proof of superiority lies in their ill-gotten money and power, evidence in their inflated minds of our inferiority and a drag on their sick vision of the future.

Supreme Betrayal

There’s little to no honor in our highest court

Sane Thoughts for Insane Times

@breadandcircuses @gdeihl Roberts, Alito and the rest of the #SCOTUSTraitors have declared war on democracy. Project 2025 announced the coup and warned liberals to stand down or die (hyperbolic now? yes - will it be so later? let's see).

MAGA have the AR-15's with bump stocks.

We are fucked.

We need a blue tsunami at every level of government to stop the Billionaires and their Republican Stooges.

@theRighteouslyILF @breadandcircuses @gdeihl

This has been the GOP's plan for decades.

Some of the blame has to go to the Dems for not doing anything to stop it, except beg us to vote for them every 2/4 years and give them our hard earned money.

They've thwarted every candidate who was willing to stand up, call this out, and fight back against it.

GOP is playing chess while Dems are playing tiddlywinks.

@504DR @theRighteouslyILF @breadandcircuses Yes, this has been rolling out for a long time. Ever since Reagan. The GOP has been strategic as their popularity has been lost, making them ever more radical to survive and now, maybe win a future we don't want to see.
