Now Roberts votes don’t count when we need him.
With him as the head of the court we are still 5-4 at best.

For a president (and Senate) of any persuasion to be able to name one third of the Court in one term is quite an accomplishment.

Per Fox News this morning, Adolph Stalin Schumer has vowed to make Republicans “pay” for ACB’s confirmation when the dems return to power. It would be a pleasure to watch that old bastard slowly choke on a piece of steak.

HALLELUJIA!

Yet ANOTHER great day for America under President Trump.

God bless the Honorable Amy Coney Barrett, President trump, and the United States of America.

And after watching Chuck Schumer’s disgusting, hate-filled, lying rants against Barrett, he can go burn in Hell.

I’d prefer to watch him get necklaced on mainstreet, today.

Ghost said, “I’d prefer to watch him get necklaced on mainstreet, today.”

While I share your seething contempt for Schumer et. al., I must object to the idea of necklacing.
That is what South African commies do. In America we use rope and for D.C. critters from a lamppost seems more fitting. However, a sturdy oak will suffice.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Once by the Pacific

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.

— Robert Frost

At the Sulzberger’s Summer Home

Bright blooms of flame spattered shadows on that tide
Whose strangling fingers clawed into our lands,
And scraped out slots, fresh graves upon our sands.

A far-off signal flared and sputtering fell,
Its bloom of sparks erupting deep in slate,
But, like our last edition, this signal came too late.

The drumming bursts of broken cannons
Stomped along the edges of our gilded cage,
And faded like the lies we smeared on our front page,

Faded until all we heard of want or wish or war
Were the screams of our grandchildren slain
Beyond our gilded sand, upon our once fruited plain.

— Van der Leun

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
