    I kinda get your point, but also If you watch enough news you realize there is no W here. It’s all meaningless because Trump owns SCOTUS and they have the final say.

    EDIT: No, SCOTUS isn’t beholden to Trump but electing him is in their interests.

    EDIT2: Well I certainly hope yall are right and they won’t let him on the ballot but I’m not holding my breath.

      They’ve ruled against him a lot. They could have thrown a huge wrench into the election by allowing Texas to sue PA, buy they didn’t it. If he owned it, it would go the other way.

      lol be more wrong, my man

      SCOTUS is laden with Federalist Society conservative wackjobs, but they (aside from Thomas and Alito a bit) have zero love for Trump. They’re more than happy to side with him when it serves long-term conservative principles and aims, but that have demonstrated zero hesitation when his policies and pleadings don’t align with their own.

        But him winning the presidency does align with their goals. So yeah, saying he owns them is wrong, but it’s how they’re gonna vote.

        Except the Trump presidency does coincide with their aims. Trump would Usher in the greatest destruction of the federal government in US history. He’s the federalist society’s dream. He has no morals or Scruples he does whatever his advisors tell him and his advisors are from the Federalist Society.

          They’re killing Chevron without him. Maybe read something instead of harvesting takes from YouTube and Twitter, my dude.
