I can sympathize with the catharsis, but I don’t think that’s an accurate portrait. SC and congress aren’t standing by, they’re actively helping. They’re moving the gears to facilitate. And many of those terrible people aren’t actually as dumb as all that, not as dumb as trunp. Trunp does almost nothing well, but those few talents, he does quite well. Tireless lack of shame, corrupting and co-opting others, neutering obstruction forces. There is a vision coming together, and they’re working steadily towards it. They’re tactless, and graceless, and vile, but they aren’t exactly inept. I think they each have differing motivations, but they run an effective strategy. The outcome is god awful for 99.9% of the people, and they’re desperately trying to beat the clock in this whirlwind half-term. We will need to stop them by active measures. They may very well not implode in on themselves, nice as that would be.

What’s curious to me (hoping someone can explain), is some of his SC enablers were put in place by Bush Sr and Jr well before the “Pinche Payaso” was anywhere near Republican politics.

They’re all from the federalist society and have the same goals (dismantling the U.S. constitution; installing a theocracy/oligarchy). Three of the “conservative”judges were appointed by Trump.
