Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Thomas and Alito still being complete Trump puppets
They are criminally corrupt, and deserve to spend life in prison. The fact these whores sit atop the highest court shows how much of a banana republic kleptocracy the USA is.
hey now. there's no need to use that language here. sex work is difficult and involved, and many whores work tirelessly when they're not getting paid to organise and fight for a better future through political engagement. they're less like whores and more like vampires
Vampires who put out for money
It’s shocking that they would associate the good name and reputation of whores with the current Supreme Court
It is kind of surprising that all three of the trump-appointed justices went along with the opinion. They’re no heroes by any means, but I’m still relieved when they decide to do the bare minimum. Really, it just shows how depraved Thomas and Alito are.
My gut thought, is they both had all of their dirty laundry aired during their confirmations, and haven't been in long enough to really break too many laws. Thomas and Alito are as dirty as they come and have nothing to lose trying to protect themselves. They're at different parts of their careers, and T and A have skeletons.
Honestly, if they and people in government had done the bare minimum to uphold the law, much of this would not have happened. This administration has been working in legal gray areas since day one. I recently learned of the phrase "state of exception" and it fits a lot of what they're doing and how they're doing it.
It’s all Clarence knows. He couldn’t practice law if he wanted to.
Wasn't he a judge for barely a year before getting appointed? Then for three decades he just agreed with whatever evil shit Scalia said. He really might not know how to be a judge.
He was a questionable pick back then, from my memory the Dem Senate grilled him so hard for his personal life that he hit the bench with a vindetta and has never made a good judicial decision in 3 decades. I believe he was also a hand pick from the heritage foundation, so he came with a TON of baggage and has always been this way as far I can remember. I'm no court scholar I just know Clarence Thomas is an asshole.
Sycophants.
Why not? Those ~~bribes~~ gratuities don't pay themselves, you know....
