    The good ole' days for which I for one have no wish to go back to. How did we manage to get such garbage for government department heads. Well, yes, I do know, but it is still so maddening as to almost take the breath away. What keeps driving people to decline to stand up to a miserable diseased bully.

    For their gullible sheep so they look like they are accomplishing something.

    BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson boldly defies Donald Trump by publicly condemning his authoritarian attacks on judges which are "designed to intimidate."

    The crowd went wild with applause as she dug in even more...

    "Across the nation, judges are facing increased threats of not only physical violence, but also professional retaliation just for doing our jobs," Jackson said during an address to a conference of judges.

    "And the attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity," she continued.

    "The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law," she said.

    "I do know that loneliness. It is very stressful to have to decide difficult cases in the spotlight and under pressure," she added as the room burst into applause. "It can sometimes take raw courage to remain steadfast in doing what the law requires."

    "Other judges have faced challenges like the ones we face today and have prevailed,” said Jackson, comparing the current historic moment to past scandals like Watergate.

    Not only has Trump defied a Supreme Court ruling by refusing to return innocent Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, he and his lapdogs have been constantly smearing and attacking judges for failing to fall in line with his fascist agenda.

    They've gone so far as to suggest that judges who uphold the law rather than toe the MAGA party line should be impeached, demonstrating a deep disregard for the separation of powers.

    If we let Trump gut the judicial branch there will be nothing left standing between us and his worst impulses. The time to make your voice heard is now.

    I think she got a standing ovation for this speech. I hope John Roberts and some of his aides in the matter are having a whole lot of thoughts about the horror they un-leashed on people when they let Trump rule without punishments. They did not create the monster, but they did set it free for now. Huge mistake that I hope they are all losing some sleep over.

    This is not meant for argument, but when I mentioned in an earlier post that possibly Trump would change a name this was my thought at the time. Trump for the most part has been allowed to do as he pleases. I do surmise that that Roberts and perhaps one or two others didn't realize he'd take it to the extremes. Maybe they even thought the dementia would prevent a lot of bad judgments on his part — but obviously. So, yes, I do think those who are sane will say no to Trump —- but with saying possibility I was only intimating that he will do as he wishes — just like the Gulf of Mexico/America.

    So, I still wonder if the Judges (Supreme) mis-judged a bit. And if so, what were they really hoping to achieve because I just find it hard to believe they were hoping he'd put other judges in jail for standing up to him.

    This is a fragile sick monster ego at work. Sad fact is, it will not do anything for Trump. He won't be better for it, because it won't change his sick ego one bit. He'll be as bitter and tortured afterwards just as much as he is right now.

    And all without one shred of knowing it's true.

    He tends to see all others that way but I think even more so for former Pres. Obama who was in fact a successful President getting easily re-elected for a second term.

    This is knowing how to take a somewhat negative and turn it into a wonderful positive. Something Trump could never do in a million years.

    Any one who makes statements like this ( as in the above piece as well) is full of something and I don't need to say what that is.

    If Trump is going to hate it, it's probably really worth watching.
