Excellent analysis. The significance of this decision extends far beyond the ballroom. The same dynamic appears across the emergency docket—from immigration enforcement to the dismantling of public institutions. By the time the courts finally decide, the consequences may be impossible to reverse. I describe this as temporal impunity: the interval in which disputed government power can reshape reality before its legality is determined.
Did roberts side with the libs in attempt to preserve some shred of his reputation as a legitimate jurist, knowing his magarhoid colleagues would condone the malfeasance?
Everyone is trying to figure out what Kevin Warsh intends to do while not actually telling us. Is he Trump’s lackey or will he make the tough calls? With no track record yet it’s entirely speculative. So perhaps we need to treat Roberts like a Warsh with a track record and see his vote against the legality of the ballroom as a sign of things to come in all the election rigging craziness the country and the SCOTUS are no doubt in for? Maybe, just maybe, Roberts is reminding us - and Trump- that he has a spine. 🤞
Hopefully, the brawl-room will not cost too much to tear down once the gant whoopie cushion is popped. I wonder whether there really is a high-security situation room being built. Did President Obama not construct a similar subterranean sanxuary?
Frank Bruni NYT 8/31/26 on the moral collapse of Republicans when faced with Trump & Co's epic corruption: Are there any gotchas more damning than all the evidence that Republicans saw Trump clearly — and gasped at the sight — before laundering his lies parroting his fictions and pretending all is well with his bulldozing of not only Washington but also the foundations of our democracy? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/opinion/democrats-wokeness-republicans.html?smid=url-share #Votelue
Pink Floyd said it best in "You're Just Another Brick in the Wall" with the line "We don't need no thought control." But that's what this POTUS and the conservtives of SCOTUS are serving up. We need to tune it all out and vote 💙 in two months.
When you saw the first brick come down, did anyone think that the project would be stopped? Congress and courts couldn’t put it back together again and he knew that. It strikes me as funny that he is putting his name and imprint everywhere, because that will just start the conversation again about what a terrible president he was. Still, every person or entity that fights him or his agenda is a warrior. Calling him out, writing about this presidency, protesting, those are the only bricks we get to put back right now. Vote in November.
I hope the next elected president tears down the building! I'd gladly pitch in and contribute $$ for that. The only thing Trump should have his name on is a prison where he gets locked up.
His name changes to a number for prisoners. The reason is because that it’s humiliation and degradation. They no longer are identified as a person of any color.

Is this an impeachable offense?

There's reportedly a national health database being installed, with all our personal data.
Looking 👀 forward to midterms to see how GOP is rewarded for their cruelty and crimes.

I'm focused on the midterms. Looking forward to Bondi being disbarred before Santa 2026. #WarCriminalTrump #WarCriminalBibi #WarCriminalPutin

Unbelievable insanity
What Court rules that something Illegal can proceed?
Only an illegitimate and corrupt court…
Shameful! Simply shameful!
I don’t recall either sides objecting to anything this Convicted felon does that illegal
It’s one big party owned by the Jews
The Epstein class parasites
