My "I'm Definitely Not A Fascist" T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt.

I'm of the same opinion. James Comey coming out with his book after he basically ruined an election was an insult to everyone as well.

No one needs to buy the book. All the interesting parts have already been leaked.

It seems more and more that Justice Roberts is pretty much the supreme court now and has moved toward being a centrist on most politically divided issues and will decide each case on merit.

As long as RBG is alive, I don't think there is any chance that this Supreme Court does anything too crazy like overturn Roe v Wade.

I wonder if Trump will start suggesting impeaching Roberts.

Seems ridiculous that every judge isn't doing that to begin with.

Honestly, all these books make for writing the scripts of the many HBO, Netflix and Hulu shows that will be made about this administration.

I just hope Trump lives long enough to see all of them released, making him look like a moron for all to see.

It's not like he's re-stating a post from a couple of months ago as still being relevant. It was literally two days beforehand. He's just talking to himself.

The gap between disapproval/approval is diverging hugely since May 16th.

I don't know why this doesn't drive progressives to fully support Biden. For all the talk that Biden is no different than Trump to their lives, these Supreme court decisions make real differences to real people. RBG probably won't survive a second Trump term and if her vote is flipped, then these decisions and all future decisions would assuredly go the other way.

Is it really a surprise that Trump might support people being locked up in cages in a country other than his own if he's supportive of doing the same in his own country?

Wow, I haven't looked at this in a while. It's definitely been dropping like a rock over these last few weeks, and we're only 4 months out from the election. 40% is the lowest his approval has been since November of last year. No wonder the GOP are nervous.
