Law of the Jungle

In this final week of its term, the Supreme Court has been very good to Donald Trump and his fellow travelers.

Today the Court decided that school systems must allow parents to pull their kids from class when course material conflicts with their religious views. Translation: If a book has LGBTQ characters, Junior is outta there.

Religion as an excuse to demonize a minority group is exceedingly tiresome for us, but I'll wager some of the most tired people on the planet right now are the Court's three liberals. Those women must feel they're the nation's last defense against presidential power grabs and right-wing cruelty.

No pressure or anything.

Can't wait until the next Democratic president puts 2 pride flags up on those Trump flagpoles.

MAGAs will try to overthrow the government again.

So Says He

Last night I forced myself to watch Donald Trump justify bombing Iran. As part of his short remarks, he said, "I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before."

Now we know. Trump and Netanyahu are the Lennon and McCartney of warfare.

Then Trump thanked the American military for "an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades." He congratulated "all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack." 

Also, "There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. There's never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago."

Trump boasted like a teenage boy who's just had sex for the first time.

He was losing his way at the end when he said, "And in particular, God, I want to just say, we love you God." This is what happens when a guy who doesn't have a spiritual bone in his body tries to pull off Christian-speak on the fly.

Whatever Trump does next in the Middle East, it will be the most brilliant move the world has seen since the beginning of time. And Jesus will agree.

Vladimir Putin has offered to mediate the Israel-Iran war.

That's like Donald Trump offering to preside over a rape trial.

By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent.
