".. if you have made money under dubious circumstances in the former USSR, and you're looking for someone in the West - in the 'rule of law' states - where you can park that money in a real estate project - which is the great engine of money-laundering - Trump is absolutely perfect."
New data from #FixTheCourt
on the value of gifts members of the court received & reported over the past two decades. Still the gifts aka bribes NOT all reported.
One of these Justices is not like the others. Clarence Thomas, Flag guy Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Handmaid are not qualified to work in the legal profession in any capacity, let's call it, as it is.
A federal grand jury is investigating NYC Mayor Adams on allegations that his 2021 campaign received illegal donations from the Turkish govt, 2 of the sources told the Daily News on Fri. A 3rd source noted that in the past 3 weeks at least 1 person connected to the mayor has received a federal subpoena from the Manhattan US ATTY’s office with specific instructions prohibiting the recipient from speaking publicly about its contents. Justice may finally prevail. #Corruptionhttps://www.nydailynews.com/2024/06/07/federal-grand-jury-reviewing-evidence-as-part-of-probe-into-mayor-adams-campaign-sources-turkey/
'A Conservative minister whose family farms beef & lamb signed off on a £5m advertising campaign encouraging people to eat more red meat – despite government advice that doing so can pose health risks'.... nothing to see here.
No corruption, no skewed govt. spending to hep out Minister's families, no manipulation of health advice.... nope, noting to see here at all.
"Tens of millions of Americans reasonably doubt that Alito can fairly discharge his duties. Alito is gaslighting the American people—a technique he learned from Trump. Having been caught in his lie he is doubling down on the lie—while pretending to be aggrieved that Americans doubt his veracity.
This debacle is a stain on the Court and an indictment of Justice Robert’s leadership."
“Justice Alito has no problem telling American women they lack the right to make decisions about their own bodies and health. But apparently, he can’t tell his wife to take down a flag that calls the integrity of his decisions on the Supreme Court into question. He doesn’t care. He has life tenure and there are no repercussions binding ethics rules he must obey.”
"In the lawsuit, Hinds said that on April 7, 2023, barely one week after former Metropolitan Transit System employee Grecia Figueroa accused Fletcher of sexually assaulting her, the UC San Diego lecturer went to UC San Diego's Office of Student Disability Services to inform them that one of her students went to Hinds with a report that Fletcher had sexually harassed her...
Less than two hours later on the same day, April 7, Hinds said a different UC San Diego administrator sent her an email requesting the name of the student who reported the harassment, as well as confirmation that it was Fletcher who allegedly harassed her."
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has formally refused to recuse from any and all cases involving indicted ex-president Donald Trump or the January 6, 2021 attack on the seat of the American government and American democracy itself."
Constitutional law scholar and professor of law Eric Segal responds:
This decision isn't a shock. She's unqualified for the position she holds. She's going to side with #Trump at every possible opportunity. Her being a judge in one of his trials is a joke, and not the funny kind.
"Alito’s misconduct also brings Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who heads an entire branch of government, to an inflection point. If he does nothing, Roberts is complicit in the destruction of the court’s reputation. Such spinelessness might even snatch from Roger B. Taney, the author of the majority opinion in Dred Scott, the title of “worst chief justice ever.”" https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/05/26/alito-durbin-supreme-court/

“Under Ofcom rules, Conservative MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey, as well as former Tory deputy chairman-turned Reform MP Lee Anderson, are unable to continue in their presenting roles while they seek re-election”
"What are we to make of the fact that Trump can be re-elected, that the Supreme Court is full of reactionary fanatics, and Congress isn't acting on the will of the American people? For starters, we have a political system that acts like a dam, blocking the 'main stream' of where this country is today. …
