Republicans wanted Judge Merchan removed from the Trump case because his daughter has opinions.


wack_overflow

At this point they're just flaunting the different rules for themselves


Locutus747

Yes. They. Don’t care.


BNsucks

The GQP and RW voters are destroying this country.


mkt853

I think the money in politics, corruption, and legal bribery is what is destroying the country. Fix that and everything else can be dealt with much more easily.


phossil580

Citizens United and Patriot Act. Two things gifted us by the previous worst president ever.


RepresentativeAge444

Elimination of the Fairness Doctrine prior to that as well.


Ok_Elderberry4857

Thanks Reagan.


Conscious_Rush_1818

Worst president ever so far... Next GOP candidate will have trump's corruption, but will probably be intelligent. What stopped Trump was his sheer stupidity


rowrbazzle75

See: Project 2025. And tell everyone you know. This is who they are.


Matsuyama_Mamajama

What's sad and terrifying to me is there are (mostly young) voters that blame Biden for the war in Gaza and want to punish the Democratic party for not following their every wish. So their "protest votes" will doom the country to Project 2025. Has no one heard of "holding your nose" to vote for an imperfect candidate? At least Biden isn't a convicted felon! I remember "holding my nose" and voting for Al Gore in 2000. I wasn't really excited about him, but he seemed better than George W Bush.... Can you imagine how profoundly different our world would be if Gore were the president during 9/11????


phossil580

Terrifying. Just gotta hope we figure this little democratic experiment out.


CreativeSoil

He was speaking of Bush not Trump, Bush was the previous worst president and Trump is the worst president.


killjoygrr

Or the illegal bribery that they are blatantly ignoring. Paging Justice Thomas.


watercolour_women

Add disinformation into the mix and you've got the winning trifecta.


ILikeToPoop42069

We’re an Oligarchy pretending to be a Democracy


MetaPolyFungiListic

No, we're a democracy with the oligarchs' thumbs on the scale. Now they want to dispense with the scale.


eugene20

They make a big point of being really loud about you destroying the country because you're not allowing them to.


ked_man

It’s not as much that they don’t care. They actively want one set of rules for them, and a different harsher set of rules for everyone else.


Spell_Chicken

So, fascism.


fourbian

It's also a temp test. If they can do it and get away with it then the water is warm and ready for full on fascism.


CoolBrianFilms

Thomas' wife is a traitor insurrectionist.


alejo699

I don’t think they see it that way. In their minds, they are the Good Guys. They go to church (sometimes), they aren’t gay, and they vote Republican, so they literally can do no wrong. Anything they do is by definition right and proper (and AMERICAN), so that also means their rules are the right rules and how they enforce them is also right. I know that sounds simple-minded, and it is. They just never consider any other alternative, which is why accusing them of hypocrisy has zero effect.


hiimsubclavian

"Why should I care about fairness, alternatives or different perspectives when I am so clearly right?"


ChocoChowdown

It boils down to them thinking people are good or bad while we think actions are. To them, if a person they deem good does an action then they believe that action is good. If a person they deem bad does an action then they believe that action is bad. To us, if a person keeps taking good actions then we consider the person good. If a person keeps taking bad actions then we consider the person bad. It's why you can point out blatant hypocrisy from them and they don't bat an eye. There's nothing wrong to them with having wildly different opinions on the same action done by different people. It's also why they double, triple, and quadruple down defending their guy: their guy is good therefore everything he does is good. It's also why we "turn" on each other: because people start taking bad actions and we no longer think they are good and push them out in favor of people that take good actions instead.


GuitarMystery

They've pushed put anyone with an ounce of morality and all that's left are the bloodthirsty fascists.


BlokeInTheMountains

> We always call them hypocrites, but the truth is much worse than that. The fascist mind simply has no need for internal consistency whatsoever. Consistency is an impediment to their true goal, which is eliminating dissent. >The fascist will use arguments and ideas in the same manner as weapons in a video game: cycle through their inventory until they find one that is effective against the target they currently face, then shoot until the target stops moving. As soon as the weapon/argument stops working, it is immediately unequipped, and they pull out another one, even if that one directly contradicts the first. The contradiction itself is a useful weapon, because it angers liberals. The only objective is to make their enemy stop talking and give up, so they can go back to abusing power.


Tub_Pumpkin

>The only objective is to make their enemy stop talking and give up, so they can go back to abusing power. They do this not only to silence their enemies, but also to draw susceptible people to their side. There was a story I heard in a college history class that one day Hitler gave a speech in some German town, then got a train, and delivered a different speech later that day, in a different German town. The two speeches contradicted each other. It didn't matter. He knew the first speech would rile up the first crowd, and that the second speech would rile up the second crowd. Consistency does not matter to them. They don't really stand for anything, other than taking power for themselves. Whatever gets them in power, they'll say it.


Daforce1

It’s called projection. Also rules for thee, not me.

This woman sounds absolutely miserable.


Funkyokra

Seriously. No wonder they don't have friends.


Cool-Presentation538

No friends that didn't buy her husband to be their pet judge


kyleb402

She sounds like an absolute nut. And there's zero chance her and her husband don't sit at home together and wind each other up.


spoobles

She’s just looking for a solution. One that can’t be reversed. It need to be final. She just wants a final solution


Panda_hat

She’s got the crazy in her eyes too. She looks like a very scary person.


Tiny_Structure_7

America's most powerful Karen. This is now the essence of conservative culture and values.


VanceKelley

More powerful than Ginni Thomas? I went most of my life without knowing the names of the spouses of SCOTUS judges, but now they are huge power brokers in America I guess.


peter-doubt

I think they're sorority sisters


AgitatedPercentage32

They’re both shitty humans.

Keeping up with the Alitos All-ito in the Family Neighborhood Justice


Funkyokra

Just like Trump, she is motivated for revenge because her shitty personality kept her from becoming "in" with the crowd she aspired to.


Lifeboatb

It’s so ridiculous. I’m not surprised people in DC didn’t want to be friends with someone who wants to scream “SHAME!” at them.


DemandZestyclose7145

Conservatives are so weak and pathetic. They are ALWAYS the victims. Always. Party of personal responsibility my ass.


smellsonice

Petty? Small-minded? Ancient grievances? She’s the perfect RW Karen


SoundSageWisdom

Nice fucking values they have


FeelingPixely

>“Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way — it doesn’t have to be now — but there will be a way they will know.” What the hell kind of allusion is this? Gay people don't exist in Germany? Or German heritage means hating on LGBTQ? Is she using her heritage as a threat? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.


SiWeyNoWay

She’s telling us she’s a Nazi, right? Like that was my obvious take away. and she’s bat shit crazy


FeelingPixely

Something like that. Rush Limbaugh seems to be a big influence. She feels persecuted by seeing a Pride flag, as if her right to exist without gay people usurps the right for gay people to exist as they are. She's totally free to not engage with people whose beliefs differ from hers. She has no right to threaten their existence.


Jean-ClaudeGodDamme

I, for one, am threatened by her behavior. And I am not alone.


Recipe_Freak

I'm a middle-aged, cis-gendered, post-menopausal woman without much to worry about and people like her scare the living shit out of me. I can't imagine how anybody remotely marginalized must feel. The Alitos of the world are fucking mythical monsters. They'd make a Martha of me in a hot second. And corpses out of almost everyone else.


cytherian

I'm just a straight white male, but who believes in diversity, inclusion, and equity. I believe in the American freedom accorded us by our founders that all men are created equal. And "men" was the "catch all" word used for human,. Gender has no consideration. What bothers me most is not just that Martha Alito feels such animosity for people not like her, but that she expresses it in public, as the spouse of a SCOTUS justice. This is disturbing and troubling on so many levels. It's another red flag. Ginni Thomas is another. And they're spouses of 2 men who've been caught red handed accepting lavish gifts (bribes) from the very wealthy. Bang as many proverbial pots & pans together that 2025 must be the start of #SCOTUSReform. We must #ExpandTheCourts to dilute the power of these men.


SacrificialCrepes

I’m trans and I’m honestly terrified, but simply cannot and will not destransition because of these disgusting people. Please just show up for us, and for all others who are targeted by these people, when we inevitably have to fight to exist. 


lovelyyecats

The only possible interpretation of this statement is that she’s saying, “I’m German, and you know what the Germans did to *those* people. I’ll do that too.” What a fucking freak.


pardybill

She’s advocating the holocaust, yeah.


poopy_mcgee

I can't think of any other interpretation. She's threatening genocide.


CriticalEngineering

She’s not down with Pride flags; she’s down with pink triangles.


cytherian

She's bat-shit crazy. Not unlike Ginni Thomas. What in the world is with these Republican SCOTUS wives? Her heritage being from Germany is irrelevant. But her evoking it... has creepy distant fascist trappings. I wouldn't be surprised if her basement has a store-room filled with guns and ammo.


Proper_Career_6771

> What in the world is with these Republican SCOTUS wives? They are snakes in the grass who have spent their lives pretending to be subservient to asshole republican men, and they're happily seizing on the opportunity to put somebody else under the boot for once.


TintedApostle

Yeah this one puts me as a Jew really on edge....


danmathew

They are Christian nationalists.


Telvin3d

Nationalist Christians aka Nat-Cs


Squirrel_Inner

In his book Strength to Love, Dr. King criticizes the Church for accepting the evils of segregation and slavery for so long. Those same people created the idea of eugenics that the Nazis adopted. They also held Nazi rallies here in the US. They have always been the enemy of a free and equal society. They may change the names or the hoods from time to time, but it’s always been the same people. Why do you think they project about “indoctrination” so much?


Icy-Big-6457

Very true! Been like for a long time!


NoDesinformatziya

Not a lot of non-white Christian nationalists out there hanging out with these people...


the_rezzzz

Wish she would go back to 1945 and join her Führer. Would please this Jew greatly.


IFLCivicEngagement

cfgy78mk

have you considered not being jewish /s


TintedApostle

No... but I bet they have

I really can't find a way to interpret that as anything other than "I'm going to go Nazi on you subhumans if you challenge my supremacy".


GuitarMystery

TheReservedList

This was a whole kazoo solo


NoDesinformatziya

Stadium of vuvuzelas. Which, since that reference mostly comes from South Africa, seems on-point.


Fyallorence

It's extremely clumsy code for, "I'm an actual Nazi."


rippedFueler

Kind of like, on the recorded Georgia phone call, Trump said something like: "That's a good last name" when speaking to Ryan Germany, Raffensperger's General Counsel.


broden89

I mean, the Nazis did openly persecute gay people. They famously destroyed the Institut fur Sexualwissenschaft and burned its archives in the 1930s. Maybe that's what she's alluding to


barry0181

I know a supposed Christian Nationalist (we're not by any means friends at all) who went over to Germany recently thinking it was going to be utopia and he couldn't believe how more liberal it is than here. He hated it.


giddyup523

Did he think he was traveling there in a time machine?


MechanicalTurkish

Was he not aware that his people lost the war? What a moron haha


ChanceryTheRapper

And how is Madison Cawthorn doing?


fallowcentury

even more famously, they killed everyone.


broden89

Indeed. Don't look up what happened to gay men after they were "liberated" from the concentration camps


Maxamillion-X72

"Believe it or not, right to jail"


BlockObvious883

Yup. Set our understanding of human sexuality back decades. We're only now catching up.


303uru

She’s a NAZI. She’s saying she’s a NAZI. So is old Clarence.


ginger_forest_witch

Oh, I know exactly what kind of flag she likes.


Green-Amount2479

So she’s German? In what? The 17th generation? Woman, you’re not German. You maybe have some German ancestry and that’s it. Don’t identify yourself with us and our country, we have enough morons already.


JayTNP

I can’t believe that’s a real quote from her. Good lord!


VoiceOfRealson

The Nazi Party didn't solely put Jews in extermination camps. Homosexuals and Romani were persecuted in the same way and people with mental handicaps were exterminated even by normal doctors (some children even without their parents knowledge - simply being described as dying due to birth complications). Her "flex" identifies her as "pro death".


the2belo

> I’m from Germany. Ah, so you're an IMMIGRANT?!?!?!%"?#?&#$`%"+{+!!?!!?


porgy_tirebiter

Weird. The modern LGBT movement started in Germany. Today’s Germany is probably one of the most tolerant countries in the world for LGBT.


Yousoggyyojimbo

One of the most privileged people in the country complaining about things. No amount of perks, money, prestige, or special privileges will ever enable these people to be happy.


auxiliaryTyrannosaur

I'm trying to figure out how every conservative judge married some angry, religious bellend as if these people were created in a lab. I guess there's just a ton of overlap in powerful conservative politics that you have to be bat-shit crazy to both believe and adhere to those policies and beliefs.


b0w3n

> I'm trying to figure out how every conservative judge married some angry, religious bellend as if these people were created in a lab. Long term astroturfing campaign by the christofascist fucks on the far-right. I'm not even joking, this has been their pipe dream for nearly 70 years. Dixiecrats were not happy the democrats decided to court progressive policies after their previous racist stuff wasn't really winning them many elections in the early 1900s. They co-opted religious wackjobs and eventually joined up with Nixon and Reagan, and started infiltrating every layer of the government. It's been a slow burn and this is their moment, it's now or never to enact their plan that was set in motion nearly a century ago (Project 2025).


xandrokos

And not just in the US they have been consolidating power internationally as well.    Many African countries have been radicalized by US evangelicals.    US evangelicals are also working with AfD in EU as well and were at that meeting last winter where they discussed literal ethnic cleansing of EU.     This hard swing to the far right globally didn't happen on its own and if the US falls the rest of the free world will fall with it.


binstinsfins

The steady increase in GOP vitriol towards pride flags makes crystal clear they're not giving up efforts to overturn gay marriage and make trans people suffer. We can't let Trump seat any more whackos.


BeerExchange

You know what flags I hate? The thin blue stripe ones. That’s actual desecration of the American Flag.


Random_Noob

I was always taught to respect the flag and never deface it. The Trump Flags don't only offend me because of who he is but because they just mix our flag with whatever they want. It's supposed to be sacred thing and they don't give shit about it. Because they don't love america. They never did. Otherwise they wouldn't want to fundamentally change it.


Cool-Presentation538

I hate the punisher ones


SoulWart

I'm so tired of idiots voting on cultural war wedge issues that have no effect on their miserables lives while turning away better wages, housing, health care, and general wellbeing as a nation. I hope the great boomer die-off helps transition away from this.


oh-propagandhi

We're at war, and that's not hyperbole. It's a soft war, and will continue as such until it gets shut down or they win. The right has created the culture war they were fighting in their minds. There are millions of Americans who need to wake the fuck up yesterday. These people are openly trying to destroy America.


StashedandPainless

She sounds like a dumb boomer in the facebook comments section of a fox news article. A common refrain on the left is that conservative politicians and judges are rich dudes duping their ignorant and uneducated base. Duping them by indulging the base's conspiracy theories in exchange for tax cuts and deregulation. What we're finding is that this is not really the case. The idiot boomer posting crap memes on facebook? Hes probably a better barometer for someone like Alito's views than any of us realized


Message_10

That's what's so scary--Alito and his wife and all the rest *are* the dumb Boomers in the Facebook comments section of a Fox News article. I'm older. When Fox News first came on the scene, I remember that conservatives had a sense of, "OK, I'm getting the news from a conservative source. This is what I want to hear, but I need to temper it with mainstream sources." Twenty years later, that's not the case--Fox News has created an alternative reality and made powerful people *totally nuts.* And INCREDIBLY dangerous, as we're seeing.


SoundSageWisdom

Fox News has radicalized them


dirkalict

The alternative reality is true- I told my Uncle he was being lied too and that Fox paid almost a billion dollars for it and he never heard about it and probably didn’t believe me. If it doesn’t happen on his Fox screen it didn’t happen.


Confident_Benefit_11

Ive had to explain this multiple times to my family who had no idea. The people who need to see this shit the most will never because it's suppressed by their one news source. This is literally how Russia ended up in its current position. Taking the settlement and not going for the whole thing in court and demanding a public acknowledgement and apology from Rupert Murdock was a big fuck up


ThisIsNotRealityIsIt

That's how my uncle felt about it too! Then he died of COVID, which was a hoax. Apparently, on his death bed he saw "dark angels" coming for him and screamed with more energy than he had had for 6 months "Why can't I go to Heaven?! Why can't I go to Heaven?!" then passed away. It really fucked my Aunt up. I don't believe in any of the make believe friend stuff, so it doesn't matter to me. He was a hate-filled prick for his final years.


Bitter-Juggernaut681

Michelle Obama once said that she quickly realized that world leaders were really not that smart. They’re just the ones that showed up.


getgoodHornet

I feel like that became really obvious when members of the Congress and Senate started doing shit like holding hearings for cat litter boxes at schools and shit. A lot of these people aren't trying to trick anyone, they're just dumb. Dumb like the people you know, but with more money. That's all.


oh-propagandhi

Dumb, but with power and malice in their hearts.


Cellopost

It was primarily evil bastards that exploited others' stupidity at first. Those fuckers died and the true believers took over.


guttanzer

Dumb Christian Nationalist boomer. Please don’t imply that the Alitos represent all boomers. The boomer generation was split. There were uptight squares and adventurous hippies. The latter dominated the generation. Freedom and tolerance loving Boomers marched for civil rights, danced in massive music festivals, and experimented with drugs and alternate lifestyles. It’s hard to imagine today, but there was a time when you could easily hitchhike across the country on the generosity of strangers. I did it three times. So please don’t lump all boomers in with these narrow minded religious types. They were annoying to us then, and they still are today.


oh-propagandhi

My mom was a hippie. Now she's a qanon MAGA maniac. The MAGA mindset is fear and feelings. It doesn't matter where they started.


Boxofbikeparts

So she's an outspoken, bigoted, racist that wants revenge. Got it.


MC_Fap_Commander

From the article, **actual Nazi** would not be an overstatement. Project 2025 is really not a joke. They're absolutely serious about it.


theseareorscrubs

The Supreme Court: We are professionals, the highest law in the land, capable of putting aside our biases. The wives of the Supreme Court: I was at Starbucks and somebody spoke Spanish and I told them to go back where they came from and here in America we speak English. They laughed at me so I called 911 and said some black people were threatening me.


HarryPyhole

So what *does* it take to break the "appearance of bias" threshold?

Being a non-fascist.

rollingstone

***Exclusive from Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez:*** In a new, secret recording, the Supreme Court justice’s wife bemoans having to “look across the lagoon at the Pride flag.” If it were up to her, Mrs. Alito tells liberal documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor that she would be flying a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag in response. Or she might design her own flag, one sporting the Italian word for “shame.” Referencing her husband, Mrs. Alito says, “He’s like, ‘Oh, please don’t put up a flag.’ I said, ‘I won’t do it because I am deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I’m putting it up and I’m gonna send them a message every day.” When Lauren Windsor tells Mrs. Alito she is being persecuted, Mrs. Alito responds, “Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way — it doesn’t have to be now — but there will be a way they will know.” Read more: [https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/supreme-court-martha-ann-alito-pride-flags-left-media-1235037338/](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/supreme-court-martha-ann-alito-pride-flags-left-media-1235037338/)


thepriceisright__

“When you are free of this nonsense.” Somehow I don’t think when she means when he retires.


peter-doubt

>.... Mrs. Alito responds, “Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way —... Mrs Alito should hold fast to her heritage.. and goose step down the street! Id like to see that explained away


LaBradence

I say this only to her, and not the German people as a whole, but...How'd that second world war work out for you?


peter-doubt

You skipped a step.. ask about the first, while you're at it. (I think her direct ancestors would be closer to that one)


greg-maddux

People would love it. The cats out of the bag. We are in seriously scary times right now.


notreal135

Mrs Alito: “Look at me. My heritage is German… you come after me I’m going to give it back to you” Poles: 😬 Roma, Sinti, and JW: 😬 Disabled people 😬 Me, a Jewish AND lgbt dude: 😬😬😬 Quite the choice of phrasing.


HallucinogenicFish

Not to mention that the folks starting shit with every one of those categories of people were in fact…the Germans. > Mrs Alito: “Look at me. My heritage is German… you come after me I’m going to give it back to you” More like “I’m going to persecute you, and while I do I’m going to wail and scream about how you victimized me with your existence thus forcing me to persecute you.”


rollingstone

When liberal documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor tells Mrs. Alito she is being persecuted, Mrs. Alito responds, “Look at me, look at me. I’m German. I’m from Germany. My heritage is German.

squintytoast

for some reason she reminds me of the 'church going ladies" from William Burroughs' "thanksgiving prayer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLSveRGmpIE edit - spelling


SoundSageWisdom

This is so outrageous. I want to know how many gifts the Alitos have gotten from Rich whitewing billionaires I want to know how many times they’ve cheated on their taxes they want to sit there and judge all of us, well….judgment coming for them


HHoaks

So doesn't this prove that Alito lied when he said he has no control over what flags she flies. She said here: "I won't do it because I am deferring to you." So if she defers to his views, then he must have been fine with the Jan 6th flags.


Stopher

Sounds like she’s into displaying these messages. These are the kind of things that a right winger does to occupy their mind when they don’t have to work and are sitting home watching tv all day.


Melody-Prisca

Look, most my heritage is German too, but I wouldn't want to use that in reference to oppressing LGBT individuals. The last time the Germans did that, was well, when they were ruled by the Nazis. Before that German was one of the most progressive places in the world. So what exactly is she getting at with these heritage comments?


sentientcave

Well her crooked liar husband says “she likes flags.”


fourbian

"I like flags" "I like beer" "I like free stuff" Our conservative supreme Court justices and their sibling wives, everyone.

Holy shit this lady is unhinged. Just throwing out thinly veiled threats at gay people because you saw a flag.

BNsucks

Martha & Ginni have both shown that they wear the pants in their family. These justices need to add lacey collars to their robes


LockheedMartinLuther

With so much open corruption on the Supreme Court, is the US constitution basically meaningless now?


ericjgriffin

Yes. Once challenges or law suits get to the Supreme Court they rule in the way that's most beneficial for the Neo-Nazi's, Constitution be damned. Also you need 34 states to call for a Constitutional Convention. The Republican party holds 27 governorships currently. One of the big goals is for them to take over 34 governorships then call a convention and rewrite the constitution more to their liking. Get ready for the Christo-Facist, Neo-Nazi America coming soon to a failing democracy near you.


Confident_Benefit_11

This is what we get for treating a 200 year old political document like Scripture and not daring to update it despite the founding fathers... literally telling us to update it. They couldn't tell the future, and they sure as shit didn't think their system which relies on the general good-faith of politicians to operate for good of all people or at least the good of the continued democracy. Don't think they thought the people would elect obviously malicious extremists


Responsible-Room-645

Basically it’s demonstrating its huge flaws


GuyHamburgers

Every day, there appears to be a new reason to consider “conservative” a synonym for “asshole.”

Corrupt motherfucker. Her husband too.


MatrimCauthon95

No one is stopping this hag from flying her Jesus flag. Go for it


hachijuhachi

That the whole thing here. They act like someone is telling them what they can and can’t do. Nobody gives a shit. In fact the whole point of pride, as I understand it, is to encourage everyone to be who they are and to be proud of it (obvious exception for homophobia and other types of bigotry)

>(obvious exception for homophobia and other types of bigotry) This is the specific thing she's mad about though, that she can't go out of her way to be bigoted and homophobic without consequences


wahoozerman

Sure she can. Just without *legal* consequences. She wants to be bigoted and homophobic without anyone being allowed to tell her she's a shitgibbon.


Taken450

And that’s the fundamental idiocy of modern conservatives, they think people not liking them for their bigoted actions is somehow oppression.


KevinDean4599

Someone please hang a big pride flag across the street from their home. Along with every other liberal cause you can think of


ResurgentClusterfuck

Supreme Court Karen can sit down, shut up, and kiss my pansexual ass


Vegabern

Fuck the supreme court


Music_City_Madman

republicans: FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, SNOWFLAKE! MY RIGHTS DON’T END WHERE YOUR FEELINGS BEGIN! Also weak ass republicans: a colored flag and same sex marriage that IN NO WAY AFFECTS MY LIFE offends me


anOvenofWitches

I really need for SNL to start mocking these Real Housewives of the SCOTUS. Seriously. If we can’t force accountability out of Alito and Thomas for their wives’ actions, turn them all into a national laughingstock.


Goat_Status_5000

Grossly partisan and religious mean spirited people sit on our Supreme Court.  Shameful and concerning.

Windsor, who has been working on a documentary, “Gonzo for Democracy” Journalist writing interesting stuff for Rolling Stone using “Gonzo”, reminds me of someone

“We condemn the surreptitious recording of Justices at the event, which is inconsistent with the entire spirit of the evening,” Duff said. “Attendees are advised that discussion of current cases, cases decided by current sitting Justices, or a Justice’s jurisprudence is strictly prohibited and may result in forfeiture of membership in the Society.” Aren't the justices in these recordings ALSO discussing "current cases, cases decided by current sitting justices..." so shouldn't the justices and any of their wives that discussed that also result in forfeiture of membership in the society, just like how they are considering for the reporter. It takes at least two to have a discussion, and it's not like the reporter was just talking to herself. it's crazy that even the most left wing media doesn't point out shit like this. if anyone should get in trouble for this, it's the supreme court justices and/or their wives for talking to a basically no name journalist (at least compared to a fucking supreme court justice), but no, it's the random journalist that is bad for talking about supreme court cases with supreme court judges. fucking bizarro world.

This picture sums it up. A couple old, bitter, unhappy, judgmental pieces of sh*t


Stinkstinkerton

The thing is no matter what, these Christian fanatics are the minority of the country. Trying to force their cheap-ass shit interpretation of religion on an entire country that doesn’t want it won’t go well for anyone. These people are stupid to even try whatever it is that they are clearly planning for us.


IFLCivicEngagement

Minority or not, they are still the predominant hegemonic force in this country. Dying animals are dangerous. Don't underestimate the peril we are in. 


RamonaQ-JunieB

I agree with the neighbor. She is a ——.


StormOk7544

Super unhinged and gross person.


Gnarly_Weeeners

I condemn her lipstick job


MayIServeYouWell

I used to think these people were some kind of special organized club that had a plan to mold the country to their grand vision.  But it’s become clear that while they think they’re special, they’re actually stupid and petty. This whole thing is “trailer trash logic”, just barfing up whatever memes and other assorted nonsense they’re been consuming on Facebook and Fox News. 


sruffenach

I do find it to be a nice consolation that she seems miserable and probably makes him miserable.


half_dozen_cats

Martha? God damn...Martha...is this real life? You just know she's the kind of person to get mad if somebody doesn't use both her first names. "Oh i'm sorry it's martha-**ANN**"


utter-ridiculousness

Fuck her and her husband


OurUrbanFarm

Can't stand looking at a pride flag across the lagoon, while she literally spits on her neighbors. Literally spits on them. These people are the scum of the Earth. They think the entire world should revolve around all of their petty little grievances. Spoiled little children is the kindest thing I could think to say about them.


JayVenture90

This is a clear threat to the country. Biden should be condemning them and the Thomas's and demanding their resignations.


MarkXIX

Women like this are the absolute worst humans in our society. She's lived a life of luxury and safety for probably decades now, but everyone is out to get her, the world around her is vile and violent, and she's gonna do everything she can through her husband and her "connections" to make sure the rest of us suffer. Fuck her, fuck him, and fuck everyone like them that supports them. So sick of these people, so sick.


GarmaCyro

/S what a delightfull woman. A ray full of sunshine. Quotes from the article: “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month.” “He’s like, ‘Oh, please don’t put up a flag.’ I said, ‘I won’t do it because I am deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I’m putting it up and I’m gonna send them a message every day, maybe every week, I’ll be changing the flags.’ They’ll be all kinds. I made a flag in my head. This is how I satisfy myself. I made a flag. It’s white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word ‘vergogna.’ ‘Vergogna’ in Italian means shame — vergogna. V-E-R-G-O-G-N-A. Vergogna.” “Shame, shame, shame on you,” “The Femnazis believe that \[Justice Alito\] should control me,” adding: “So they’ll go to hell. He never controls me.” “It’s OK. It’s OK, because if they come back to me, I’ll get them. I’m gonna be liberated, and I’m gonna get them.” First of all. That woman needs a better social circle by interactive with new people, and definitely get some hobbies and/or a job. This is the brain of someone that's defintely not living a healthy life from a mental perspective. Seriously. You're not supposed to think or act like this at all. This is more like the negative life cycle a drug addict usuaally get caugth up in.


danmathew

It should surprise no one that the Alitos are bigots.


individualine

When you hear words condemning the free press you are listening to the speech of a tyrant. Tom Jefferson.


Infidel8

Stay home on election day and get a 38 year old version of Alito on the court.


pourtide

Martha-Ann Alito agrees there is no negotiating with the radical Left. She claims “the Femnazis believe that \[Justice Alito\] should control me,” adding: “So they’ll go to hell. He never controls me.” WTF? She thinks the Radical Left believes men should control women? WTF? She is totally removed from reality. Keeping company with Ginny Thomas. I'd say "god help us" but I'm not religious, so the secular version of that. I am really, really fearful for the future of the USA.


sistermj536

Don’t appoint them for life. 10 years and out. And they should be held accountable, like everyone else.


mrarming

So Thomas's wife is a MagaHatter, Alito's wife openly supports Maga, Barrett is a far-right conservative nut --- but we're supposed to believe the SCOTUS is unbiased, impartial and strict constitutionalists.


banNFLmods

She’s a nobody with a famous husband. Her opinion means nothing to me, but how she influences her husband means everything. She needs to be dealt with and never heard from again


Jo-Jo-66-

Oh look , another white , privileged, woman thinks her opinion matters…


LlanviewOLTL

So I need to figure this out, why they hate my community so much… Are gay people the ones who drove a car through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, WI a few years ago; killing innocent people? Are gay people the ones who are going around punching out random people on the street in certain cities? Are gay people the ones who are going into stores terrorizing people, smashing glass cases & stealing everything? Are gay people the ones who are shooting at the cops & waving guns at people? Are gay people the ones having kids we won’t take care of & let them do whatever they want at school, assaulting teachers and other students? Are gay people the ones doing street takeovers blasting music all night, skidding their cars doing donuts in intersections keeping entire neighborhoods awake & on edge? No? Then why isn’t the GOP demonizing and scapegoating those other people as vigorously?! *Imagine if we started treating straight people the same way straight people have treated us.* Might be a good taste of their own medicine.


BrainCellSerialKillr

Well, I condemn that trifling, treasonous twat, so here we are.


zettairyouikisan

Ask her what she thinks of Hitler.

Who the fuck let Ms trad-wife out of the kitchen and let her run her stupid mouth?


Particular_Ticket_20

Mrs Alito seems nice. I bet her and Ginni Thomas are just a hoot when they're together. /s
