All of the supreme court justices and politicians take bribes. Every last one. If politicians didn't we wouldn't be seeing billions in US subsidies being given to animal agriculture (meat, dairy, eggs), horseracing, and vivisecting yearly. The US dairy industry has not made a profit in 20 years, but it exists thanks to our tax dollars being paid to have cheese and dairy dumped in the millions of pounds, and meat kills millions of animals that never make it to any store. Stop blaming only two people when ALL of them are evil, corrupt, bribe takers. The money they give to kill and abuse animals is enough to end global poverty, homelessness, hunger, and pay for all medical care. THAT'S how much is going to kill animals for things we do not need.

Now that it's taken away abortion access is the one issue I'll get out of bed for and yell and scream. who do they think they are? I still don't get it. What is it to anyone whether or not a woman has or does not have an abortion? No one else is going to raise the child if that is what happens. I don't get it. I guess they're using the "sanctity of life" argument. These anti abortion people are like old time vigilantes making sure everyone is in line with what they believe. What does it matter to anyone? Maybe the Catholics just want more Catholics. Other than that, I don't see why anyone would care one way or another. This is a mind your own beeswax thing. People are so nosey and must have vacant lives if they are so obsessed with pregnant women. Reproduction is a hot potato. We shouldn't be having more children we can't take care of in a way that is good for them.

Every time Trump complains about something, I tend to see it as him projecting. So when he says he can’t imagine Biden actually running and that he’ll drop out of the race…that gives me a lot of hope! I think Trump is thinking of dropping out of the race!! 🤣

ridiculous excuse from speaker Johnson, claiming it's a religious symbol. No politician should display a religious symbol in his office anyway. Your office is the place where you (should) serve ALL Americans without prejudice, and personal preferences that show bias towards a particular group should not enter that room.

[@saddesklunch2544]

When did he say it was a religious symbol? Did I miss that part? I thought he just said it was Washington’s flag

[@d.l.d.l.8140]

He should have been immediately asked to reject the current usage of the flag AND the organizations that use it. You aren’t wrong people. I’m 70, and have been consuming news from day one. ( Thanks Dad 😂 ) The current situation is unprecedented, and one party has clearly lost their minds, a party whose decisions literally affect all of us, almost always negatively. They have a slim majority in the house. It may be the junior chamber, but they are the biggest threat to Democracy today. Their religion is to be your religion at all costs. Literally. This is the most important election in my lifetime. And it’s not for me, I’ll be dead soon. YOU have to get involved, it’s your life they want control of.

From The UK I just can't comprehend how (as part of the system of "checks and balances") it was thought a good idea to have a Supreme Court that would be entirely impartial and yet whose members would be entirely politically appointed. All judges too for that matter. Am I missing something here?

[@LarisaC.]

True. From the Netherlands, I also have this question. It seems to defy the separation of powers and undermine democracy. So why?

[@paulgibbon5991]

Like a lot of other things in American politics (see: filibuster, electoral college), it relied upon everyone involved recognising the spirit of the law and not being blatantly partisan.

[@victoriabaker4400]

​@paulgibbon5991 Exactly. What we're learning as citizens now is that all the vaunted checks and balances depend on honor, which the Republicans threw away when Eisenhower left office.
