6 who should not be on the Court

1) C Thomas see Anita Hill and that there were 3 other women who did not know each other
and were ready to testify that Thomas had done similar things that Ms. Hill described to them.

2) J Roberts see Florida 2000 and bush v Gore

3) S. Alito see Florida 2000 see Ohio 2004 see phony scene when Alito's wife ran from the hearing
room in tears because the Dems were being too mean her husband in a very scripted moment.

4) N Gorsuch see Mitch McConnell blocking President Obama's constitutionally approved of pick
to be on the SCOTUS

5) B Kavanaugh see the FBI blowing off something like 2 or 3 thousand tips that he was a sexual
abuser, that he had hit women, and he was a black out drunk.

6) A Coney Island Barrett see "too close to the election" and she was voted for and placed on the court
as America's were actively voting.

I don't know about Thomas but all the other justices were groomed for and put onto the SCOTUS by the

See all that smoke? Global Warming is real.

Drove from Columbus, Ohio to Springfield, Ohio yesterday
and it was surreal smoky hell scape. Still have smoke here now. The forests that are burning now should be soaking wet at the forest floor level because they have snow cover 4 to 8 months of the year and they covered with damp stuff too. Ferns, moss, rotting wood, blueberries, ponds, rivers, wolves, Northern Pike, boreal
spruce fir ecosystems, and lakes. This is scary shit.

Exclusive: Trump Made Shocking Comments About Ivanka, Says Ex-Staffer

Source: Newsweek

Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, describes several incidents that made women in the Trump administration uncomfortable in his upcoming book Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, an extract of which was obtained exclusively by Newsweek.

These incidents included, the book says, claims by aides that Trump made lewd comments about his daughter Ivanka's appearance and talked about "what it might be like to have sex with her." This prompted a rebuke from his chief of staff, the book says.

In his book, Taylor describes Trump's "undisguised sexism" toward the women in his administration, from relatively low-level aides to cabinet secretaries.

He recalls witnessing such behavior first-hand in meetings with Trump and Kirstjen Nielsen, who was secretary of homeland security from 2017 to 2019.

John Eastman's expert witness in disbarment hearing is barred for not being an expert

A judge in California barred an expert witness from testifying in the disbarment trial of John Eastman, the former attorney for former president Donald Trump, since the witness was not an expert, The Daily Beast reported.

Mr Eastman is facing a potential disbarment for his involvement in a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. He attempted to call a man named Joseph Fried, an accountant who wrote an eBook that questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election results, as a witness.

“I don’t see how Mr Fried is qualified to be an expert,” NPR reporter Tom Dreisbach reported her saying. “He has no experience in voting or election matters.”

In addition, California bar attorney Duncan Carling said “We don’t believe the opinion of a CPA ... is relevant” and that Mr Fried “never identified any instances of fraud.”

Trump, "This was him." Him, him, him, and more of him. TFG is dumber than a bag of hammers.

“Well, with Milley – uh, let me see that, I’ll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack Iran. Isn’t that amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him,” Trump says, according to the transcript. “They presented me this – this is off the record, but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. We looked at some. This was him. This wasn’t done by me, this was him.”

&t=2s

BTW he admitted to multiple crimes too.

So the military that is still loyal to Putin is now having to fight the Ukrainian force and its

allies (such as Sami Snipers)



in Ukraine along with Wagner forces in Ukraine and Russia along with attacks inside of Russia by anti Putin
forces? And some of the regular Russian forces are rebelling too and have been attacking back into Russia
.... at least that is what I have read on the internet.
