Maybe Speaker Mike Johnson doesn't have speak directly with several of the justices on the Supreme Court. Maybe he does it telepathically or something. Or maybe he speaks with them the way the rest of the world does - with cash.

Something Occurs To Me
Trump is a mediocre Salesman who knows (maybe recently learned) Buzzword Technique.
ie: He knows how to identify certain concepts held closely by his prospects (MAGA, Evangelicals, etc), and then pepper his spiel with buzzwords that those prospects will then interpret as meaning "he's one of us - he's with us - he really is on our side."
He inserted the phrase, "... looks like an angel, but he's really a devil ...", which is pretty reminiscent of the fire-n-brimstone preachers he's been hanging out with for quite a while.
I've recently noticed him doing this, and it seems like it's a bit of a new wrinkle.

On The Roiling Of America
It would give me a warm fuzzy prideful feeling deep down in my heart to watch Fauci look straight into the camera and say, "Here I am, assholes - come and get me."
Obviously, this could rile up those assholes and trigger a whole new spate of threatening or violent actions.
But I'm enough of a cautious optimist to believe there are far more good people in this country than there are the kind of assholes who go around dropping death threats on valued, respected leaders.
So I think lots of those good people would be willing to stand up and defend a guy like Dr Fauci, and beat back the MAGA assholes who just can't manage not to act like they never outgrew their tendencies to behave like the raging morons they were in middle school.
God how I hate those fuckin' guys.
Throw It All Away
Trump: Either you support me 100% on all things at all times, or I'll burn the whole place to the ground.
MAGA says they're working 24/7 to make sure the elections are fair, and secure, and with no shenanigans. But they go on making all this noise about how rigged it is because they continue to lose practically every time, in spite of all their herculean efforts. And remember, they say they're the best at everything so they can't possibly lose unless it's rigged, but they're busting all the rigging ... and rinse and repeat.
So either they suck at the whole security thing, or there's no fraud at any meaningful level to begin with - which of course is what everybody's been saying all along - or their whole schtick is nothing more than Ginned-Up Rage-Fueled Crowd Funding of a "movement" that has no policy, and no political agenda beyond "Make Me The King Or You'll Be Sorry".
Fuck them guys.

Today I Learned
Ten years ago, corn stalks were 13 feet tall.
Now they're about 5 feet - and each plant is putting out 3 times as many kernels.
3x
Hacking the genome of corn (aka: they GMO'd that motherfucker), makes for a plant that can put more of its energy into producing the food instead of making the stuff we can't eat.
The Karma Train Is Running
- DumFux News lost their defamation case to the tune of $800M
- Rudy got slapped with $148M assessment for defamation
- At least a handful of cronies have pleaded out or been sanctioned
Dinesh D’Souza’s movie that sought to prove former President Donald Trump’s fantasy that the 2020 election was stolen from him by widespread fraud has been debunked time and time again. Now, years after its release, its executive producer is retracting the film entirely.
Following the 2020 election, D’Souza released 2000 Mules as an attempt to justify Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden. Trump famously held a screening of the movie at his Mar-a-Lago estate and MAGA supporters promoted the film during it’s release in May 2022.
The film was produced by Salem Media Group, a conservative radio juggernaut that airs the likes of Sebastian Gorka and Charlie Kirk.
In a new statement, Salem apologized for the film and said it would cease distributing it. The move came after a man featured in the movie sued Salem for defamation.
The movie featured video showing the man, Mark Andrews, putting five ballots in a drop box in Lawrenceville, Georgia in 2020. D’Souza falsely claimed in the film that Andrews’ actions were criminal, describing the votes as “fraudulent.”
The statement from Salem blamed D’Souza for the smear.
“In publishing the film and the book, we relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote, Inc. (‘TTV’) that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots,” the company said in a statement. “We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules.”
The company added, “It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews. We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews’ image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family.”
The statement concluded by noting, “We have removed the film from Salem’s platforms, and there will be no future distribution of the film or the book by Salem.”
Andrews filed a federal lawsuit against D’Souza, True the Vote and Salem back in October 2022 over the allegations promoted in the film. Salem settled the case with Andrews for a “significant” amount.
