General Discussion

Downsides are obviously sitting there while Trump yells at you for being a RINO.

UPSIDE is that if we had a show of hands on DU right now after asking people "How many of you here LOVE the Supreme Court with ALL OF YOUR HEARTS," I don't think we'd see many, if ANY hands, and...GIVEN ALL OF THAT...while we perhaps would not "feel sad about" Trump giving them a tongue-lashing on national TV, and...while I often refer to the "Supreme" Court in quotes, mockingly, and refer to it as "The MAGAt Court, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization"...which it's become...there's still a lingering "societal norms" and "what our country is built on thing" that for me, anyway, can't square it with a 79 year old rapist and convicted felon yelling at the Supreme Court on national TV, in front of Congress.

And yeah, they SHOULD be yelled at, but not by the guy who put them IN this predicament and keeps demanding more.

It's the Frog & the Scorpion. Roberts let Trump swim across the lake on his back, and when they got to the shore, Trump stung him.

I think that the "conservative justices" all have disproportionate levels of ego, all rooted in privilege and protocol and precedent. They can't really cling to that these days because they allowed themselves to become Trump's concubines. And now that they are trying to take baby steps away from that, he SEES it, and he's going to go full Scut Farkas from Christmas Story on them.

So my point is...having grown up around bullying and abuse, I can't applaud ANYONE being bullied or abused, even if I do not like or respect them, and ESPECIALLY if it's from someone like Trump.

I won't cry for them if / when it happens. I'll figure "THEY ASKED FOR IT" but won't take a lot of satisfaction from that. I'd RATHER have a Supreme Court that's not corrupt. Maybe some day. Clearly not today.

And if Trump SUCCUMBS to his most base instincts, he's going to come off looking as bad as the worst loons in his cult, people like Loomer.

So that's the upside, if one wants to call it that. Trump will look like an even bigger prick than he does right now. And November's coming.
