Fantasy Saloon Pussy Good, Nevada

We've got Clarence Thomas, whose wife was at the heart of the plan to "stop the steal" in January 2021. Now, Sam Alito blames his wife for flying their American flag upside-down in the days after Jan. 6.

And these guys are pretending there's no reason for them to recuse from cases involving Trump and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Look, we all know that politicians appoint federal judges. But the overt bias shown by the current crop of far-right Supreme Court Justices is antithetical to the principle that justice is blind.

ABC News reports The New York Times published a photo of the conservative justice's home with the American flag flying upside down in January 2021, just a little over a week after the Jan. 6 attack. Symbol of the MAGA election deniers.

Chief Justice Roberts needs to step up and bar Alito and Thomas from Trump Cases

Wives of Supreme Justices have rights same as any other citizen so if they want to use their freedom of speech I wont hold it against their husband.

That's obviously why Alito blamed his wife and pretended he had nothing to do with it despite the upside-down flag flying for days at the house they both reside in.

As for Ginni Thomas, she testified to the Jan. 6 committee that she "operated separately" from her husband. 

Maybe Alito didnt have anything to do with it.  He saw it and maybe just shook his head.  You have to keep the wife happy if you want pussy.

Maybe. Or, maybe Alito is another religious nut job who is fully on board with the far right White movement to turn this country away from democracy and toward fascism.

It looks like the Alitos are dedicated election deniers. A couple of years ago, they flew a different flag, this time at their summer home, indicating their belief in Trump's bullshit.

From Wednesday's NY Times:

Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs.

This time, it was the "Appeal to Heaven" flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the "Stop the Steal" campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.

Nah, you live in a Fantasy.

And to this day states the election was stolen.  As stated all parties have had issues and yet Trump gets lamb Basted. Have you seen all the convictions for election fraud?? OF Course Not.. There was issues, now if enough to turn election who knows...

Privileged is a lifestyle, mostly people who have not worked a blue collar job and have life handed to them.

Funny thing is not a one has been charged with being a Insurrectionist...

Have you noticed most media have refrained from using the phrase Insurrectionist. Reason for that..

This is what results when someone gets their information about the world from shitty sources.

We've been over the right-wing bullshit about Russian involvement being a "hoax," so there's nothing more to say about that.

As for why Trump has been "lamb Basted," that is because Trump, and only Trump, has not just claimed the 2020 election was stolen. No, he didn't stop with that, which was protected speech under the 1st amendment.

He went much further, engaging in criminal conspiracies to first stop the electoral vote count and then to attempt to strong-arm state officials into somehow changing the results of the election so that he could remain in office.

And somehow, this is either denied by right-wingers, or they're just fine with it. It's sickening.

Not in the most wildest of fantasy worlds, is there an equivalency between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. On election night Hillary called Trump to congratulate him. The next day Hillary gave a concession speech* which supported the peaceful transfer of power.

In 2016, 2.8 million more people voted for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton than Trump, but she lost the determining Electoral College vote. During a September 2019 interview on CBS, she blamed her loss on voting restrictions passed by some states before the 2016 election and Russian hacking of her campaign that was later confirmed by a U.S. Department of Justice investigation. Link

So yes, Clinton and other Democrats bitched and moaned about the 2016 election not being on a level playing field. What they did not do is participate in conspiracies to change the election outcome after the fact. Unlike Donald Trump they did NOT inspire a mob of maniacs to storm the US Capitol.

*During her concession speech on the morning of November 9, 2016, she publicly acknowledged Trump's win and offered to work with him on behalf of the country. Despite her winning the popular vote, Clinton emphasized the importance of accepting the results and looking toward the future, stating, "Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power. And we don't just respect that, we cherish it"

They all expressed support for him. The Obamas, the Clintons, the Bushes, everyone. Even Dave Chappelle on SNL.

Because that's what we'd always done in America. Until Trump.

I would say if a election was rigged it was the 2016 election rigged for Trump to win. But how could a nationwide election be rigged?  I dont think it is possible and to get away with it would be impossible.
