    Lets hope it doesn't really get this far but I concerned — a lot more than Collins from Maine.

    The above meme, because it reflects the moral depravity of the 3 individuals, should also be a LOL. I agree with what you entered after.

    Hearing now that Trump wants to impeach judges — mainly those who have NOT ruled in his favor. Somehow (whether its from others pumping him up, or telling him flat out lies who knows) seems to have given him the notion that he can make decisions about ANYTHING at all now and have those decisions carried out.

    Justice Roberts — aren't you glad you fixed it so Demented Don can do almost anything under the guise of presidential duties etc. Done in and for the OFFICE of. I hope about now you are having many thoughts about paving the way for this disaster of a person. You and some of your cronies now have Trump thinking he can do exactly as he pleases and all of you are going to jump through hoops any time and any place to carry it all out.

    You should be having some truly serious second thoughts, maybe third ones. I can't imagine any of this (illegal though it would be) is going to be much of a thrill to people already deeply upset with the things that are going in since Trump took office.

    Do you think Trump will want to impeach anyone on the Supreme Court since they don't all fall in lock step with him either. Hmmm. Your life could get pretty interesting.

    Chief Justice John Roberts Issues Rare Statement Rebuking Donald Trump

    This type of statement is extremely rare for a Justice of the Supreme Court to issue, especially against a sitting President.

    In a striking and unusual move, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a public statement pushing back against Donald Trump’s calls to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.

    Though Roberts did not mention Trump by name, his statement was a clear rebuke of the president’s latest attack on the judiciary, highlighting the constitutional principle that judicial rulings should not be subject to political retaliation.

    “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts stated. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

    The remarks come in response to Trump’s demand that Judge Boasberg, who serves as the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, be impeached. Boasberg recently ruled against Trump in a case involving Trump’s ability to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

    Roberts’ statement is remarkable not only for its content but for its rarity. The Chief Justice of the United States typically avoids public commentary on political disputes, particularly when they involve a former or sitting president. 

    The judiciary, by design, seeks to maintain an air of impartiality and independence, and Roberts has long been an advocate for keeping the courts separate from partisan battles.

    That Roberts felt compelled to issue such a statement underscores the gravity of Trump’s rhetoric and its potential threat to the judiciary’s independence. Calls for judicial impeachment over substantive rulings, rather than for misconduct, strike at the heart of the separation of powers—a cornerstone of American democracy.

    The Trump administration's war on DEI led to the removal of information about the Navajo Code Talkers from military websites. This move erased crucial stories of these World War II heroes, who created an unbreakable code that was instrumental in Allied victories, particularly at Iwo Jima. Their contributions were so vital that it's arguable the war might have had a different outcome without them.

    The Navajo Code Talkers were pivotal in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific, and their bravery and ingenuity are a testament to the strength of indigenous communities. By removing their stories, the Pentagon not only disrespects their legacy but also diminishes the historical significance of minority contributions to U.S. military history.

    This is a betrayal of the nation's commitment to honoring its diverse heroes. Preserving these stories is essential to understanding American strength and resilience, and their removal is a disservice to inclusivity and justice.

    I hope someone has in fact archived this somewhere — so it is not lost forever. Isn't it un-believable Ruth that anyone could have such disrespect as to try and steal our history — yet here we are. You can try and erase the greatness of others, but in that, Trump sure won't be able to bestow any of it on himself.

    Seems Justice Roberts wasted very little time in dressing down Trump though not using his name. While he may have to hold back 98 percent of the time, this was definitely not one of them obviously. It is really all his fault.

    While no one can be sure, I hope all of the rt. leaners on the court are thinking about where we have gotten to right now. I hope they are considering that a lunatic/madman has been let loose and they have themselves aided and abetted in degrees.

    I hope repercussions with this and other things that Musk and Trump have attempted will soon play out with a big loss in numbers for no mandate Trump and put him down the hole completely. He isn't really going to do anything for people and his deportations are just more of a money-making scheme/prison privatization which he wants to do to everything he can.

    I'll be awaiting more news and already wondering if Trump is going to have a met-down over being taken to Task by Roberts. Maybe he'll suggest Roberts get impeached as well.

    HATE has four letters,

    But so does HEAL.

    ENEMIES has seven letters

    But so does FRIENDS.

    LYING has five letters

    But so does TRUTH.

    HURT has four letters

    But so does HEAL.

    Transform every negative energy into an aura of positivity. It’s our perception that makes the difference in the way we feel.

    I stopped tapping emoji's Betrayal because your cartoons were all spot on.

    Not too much this morning so far on Trump and impeaching judges. What it really comes down to with John Roberts is that of course he wants appeals and or anything that actually lets HIM be the final arbiter on what is law or not law or who has to suffer or who get squashed. He wants to give Trump plenty of 'room' but not so much that he becomes stronger than Roberts since the Supreme Court generally has the last and most final word.

    So he did have to step in and give Trump a 'boxing' of the ears for good measure. Well, Roberts a whole lot more at some point better be taking place and hopefully it will. Along the way Musk is getting some pretty good come-uppance to the point that he is whining on the Twitter he bought that no one likes him and he hasn't done anything to anyone. Yeah, sure you haven't. Just wrecked a whole lot of lives of people who once had jobs and now don't and along with the people who held those jobs were the people they were helping — like Ag department inspectors etc. So yes, people don't like you Musk. And we all are hoping your Tesla and Space X fall into wrack and ruin. You don't seem to understand that you do not have FREE rein just because Trump made you "the man". You are not the man and neither is Trump — and in fact, neither of you understand. There are way more of us than the two of you. If enough of us finally figure out we can stand up and say no then your wings are clipped. The sooner the better.
