Act 10 is an anti-labor piece of legislation passed in Wisconsin in 2011 during Scott Walkers anti-labor administration. a.co/jiNn49w
So many say Trump is stupid. I say he is quite brilliant in all matters evil.
Is this you, @KristiNoem? 😡
SCOTUS is, at present, on the immunity question, a tragi-comedy. Barret and Cheif Roberts can re-write the ending however, and close the curtain and lift the stay.
To me , there is no doubt that 5 of the SCOTUS 9, want Trump to be the next president.
Hey, Chief Justice Roberts, you don’t need to be concerned about future ex-presidents being overly investigated and charged. They will likely be, like in the past, be persons with moral and political integrity—not like Trump.
Citizen’s United? A corporation is NOT a person; it is a piece of paper.
Let’s face it, the US Supreme Court has been corrupted by The Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society and other big, dark money.
The Arizona legislature has now repaired from the decision by the State Supreme Court. Now the US legislature needs to repair what the what SCOTUS has done with Roe?
"There’s not going to be a better time to discredit Trump as a leader of the free world. There’s not going to be a better time to explain why Trump cannot be our next president." Now is the time. thebulwark.com/p/how-biden-ca…
Pat Buchanan “prepared the way” for Trump a.co/4i3C19g
Ari Berman: Trump has been an accelerator of the breakdown of our democracy.
I am somewhat pleased that this New York trial is the first trial. It really demonstrates the sleaziness and criminality of trump’s business and political life.
Beyond spouting dangerously, unAmerican nonsense, she doesn't seem well.
@AntiToxicPeople Well, true if, and only if, you're a president that committed crimes.
I’m convinced that Trump would like to have a blood-letting civil war stop his facing Justice.
It appears, very, very strongly to me, that ……SCOTUS wants Trump to be president.
