&lt;blockquote&gt;The right continues to push the “universities are bastions of leftism and are indoctrinating kids” crap that was never true.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

What next - punch cards [1[], railway trucks and gas chambers?

					<description><![CDATA[SCOTUS strikes another blow against a safer and liveable future.

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/jun/30/supreme-court-ruling-epa-west-virginia-climate-experts-activists-lawyers&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;Limiting the Environmental Protection Agency at a time when fossil fuel emissions need to be curbed is ‘devastating’&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;“At this point, for those in positions of high power to deny the urgency and the stakes of the climate crisis is to condemn everyone alive today and generations to come to life in a sick and impoverished world,” said Ginger Cassady, executive director of Rainforest Action Network.

The court’s conservative majority voted 6-3 in favor of leading coal producer West Virginia, in a lawsuit with challenges originally brought by 20 other Republican attorneys general, who sued for the EPA to have less regulatory power over existing power plants without express authorization from Congress under the Clean Air Act. In the ruling, the court’s conservative supermajority determined that the Clean Air Act does not authorize anything other than direct regulation of power plants.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Trump&#039;s volatile and violent nature nature is portrayed via testimony.

&lt;blockquote&gt;He lunged at a Secret Service agent’s throat. He threw dishes during temper tantrums. And he wanted metal detectors taken away so his fans could march with guns and knives.

An astonishing portrait of Donald Trump as an unhinged and personally violent president emerged at Tuesday’s hearing of the congressional committee investigating last year’s attack on the US Capitol.

...

“Never before in American history have we ever seen credible testimony this shocking against a president of the United States before Congress,” Michael Beschloss, a presidential historian, told the MSNBC network. “This is a day that is going to loom very large in American history.”

...

Hutchinson recalled seeing a shattered porcelain plate and ketchup on the wall of a dining room at the White House. “The valet had articulated that the president was extremely angry at the attorney general’s AP interview and had thrown his lunch against the wall.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[And in more dishonesty by the right-wing justices, we learn that Gorsuch repeatedly lied about the actions of the high school judge at the heart of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, specifically when wrote that the coach was fired after trying to offer &quot;a quiet personal prayer&quot;, saying that &quot;the coach simply wanted to participate in “a short, private, personal prayer.”

Pictures of, and records for, the coach&#039;s behavior showed he routinely had his team around him, and repeatedly led prayers inside the school locker room requiring students to attend. 

As the latest round of decisions show, the right wing justices have routinely lied in the justifications of their decisions. As rickA shows, the authoritarian a-holes on the street will repeatedly lie to defend those decisions. Again -- these people are a clear threat to democracy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since we&#039;re talking about dishonest members of the Supreme Court, let&#039;s remember how three of them lied through their teeth about Roe. (We knew they were lying at the time, but they were allowed to get away with it, as the right expects to be able to do.)

Kavanaugh: 
&lt;blockquote&gt;“It’s settled as precedent of the Supreme Court,” Kavanaugh said. “One of the important things to keep in mind about Roe vs. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times.??&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Gorsuch
&lt;blockquote&gt;“Row vs. Wade is the law of the land.” [Gorsuch continued] “I accept the law of the land senator, yes.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Amy Coney Barrett
&lt;blockquote&gt;“Judges can’t just wake up one day and say ‘I have an agenda — I like guns, I hate guns, I like abortion, I hate abortion’ — and walk in like a royal queen impose their will on the world it’s not the law of Amy, its the law of the American people.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

Sheesh dean, what a can of worms, that Scott Dejarlais is another rotten slug of a man, not a real man though.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Dobbs, the case that overturned Roe v Wade, was decided by an illegitimate court whose appointees were nominated and confirmed by politicians who lost the popular election. The illegitimate Supremes are the apex of a vast cohort of federal judges who were likewise appointed by politicians who lost the popular vote:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/02/minoritarian-third-supreme-court/

These judges have emitted a steady stream of unhinged and cruel decisions on culture-war issues, and these have real, human consequences. But it’s a mistake to assume that the reason that billionaires put so much energy into getting these judges appointed was to strike down New York’s concealed carry law. That was — again — a means to an end, a way to get turkeys to vote for Christmas (there are a lot of musket-fucking single-issue ammosexual voters who will vote for anyone who makes it easier to get guns).&lt;/blockquote&gt;


These are RickA&#039;s people for sure.  Now I know what that &#039;A&#039; Stands for.]]></description>
