Bros, did we just win?
This might be something to keep an eye on, Trump shoots from the hip a lot but that conqueror's haki usually hits things that just take a while to jiggle loose.

NO FUCKING WAY.

TRUMP IS GONNA GET ANOTHER SUPREME COURT PICK. DEMOCRATS ARE GONNA SCALP JOHN ROBERTS IN THE MEDIA AND THEN START A CIVIL WAR WHEN TRUMP PICKS ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE.

SUFFAH, COMMIE GAYBOS! SUFFAH!!!!!
NEVER LET THE DOOMERS TELL YOU ITS OVER! GODS PLAN BISH!
 
He was a JAG lawyer for the navy at Gitmo where he allegedly was part of uhh.... "Forceful interrogation techniques" and then was a naval prosecutor and eventually Legal counsel for the SEAL teams. He was also assistant special US attorney in Florida. So he hasn't been a judge but has fair bit of experience with the law.

Historically the above would not be enough to warrant a appointment to the high court but these are interesting times. in the past he might have been put to of the district courts for some XP before getting nominated.
It doesn't stop the Dems so why not? Plus he still has way more experience than Biden's DEI pick.
 
VA supremes will likely reverse that.
I'm sure they will, and it'll be kicked up to the new Desantis SCOTUS and they'll find 6-3 that using identity signifiers in congressional redistricting is unconstitutional, ending the democrats' gerrymander games they've played for 100+ years and instantly flipping half the blue states red.
 
All those Kiwifarms posts make a lot more sense now nitter

Hulk Hogan was taking life-threatening amounts of fentanyl to manage his physical pain during his time with the TNA following his divorce from his wife, Linda Hogan.


The wrestling pioneer detailed his reliance on the drug in the new Netflix docuseries "Hulk Hogan: Real American," which served as his final interview before his sudden death in July 2025 from a heart attack.


Hulk said he signed up for the TNA (Total Nonstop Wrestling, the second-largest wrestling group behind WWE) after he gave "everything" to Linda during their 2009 divorce... and needed the cash. But, it wasn't long before he and TNA realized he was in no shape to compete at the level he'd been contracted to, so he turned to the opioid to help his severe pain.


Hulk explained ... “I was taking 80-milligram fentanyls, two in the morning, stuffing them under my gums here ... I had two 300mg patches of fentanyl on my legs and they gave me six 1500mg fentanyl lollipops to eat."


He continued ... "I went to the pharmacy, he goes, 'You should be dead. We have never seen a human being take this much fentanyl.'"


The wrestling legend got to the point of feeling so much pain, he had to sleep in a chair. He added ... "If I just twitched my finger like that, my whole back would spasm and torque."

His last in-ring appearance was in 2012, and he departed the TNA in 2013 when his contracted expired.

We've finally found the rival to George Droid. Hogan drank the lethal Fent of Life, and survived to become the Kwisatz Fenterach.

Trump was pissed at the tariff decision and hinted at there being financial malfeasance behind the decision. I was expecting it to be pay offs from local corporations or Chinese adjacent organizations. Maybe this was the easiest thing to shake out.
 
Would have to persuade Roberts to retire quickly, but the time frame is a couple months.
Wouldn't be too hard if Trump was willing to really put the screws to him. Article after article, punditry talk cycle after talk cycle, and a congressional investigation or two dragging his name through the mud over hypocrisy would be enough given how desperate the guy clings to his curated fair and unbiased persona. He's desperate enough to keep a good name in the history books that he might just swing a "principled retirement" that ensures all his skeletons get quickly buried.
 
Roberts? yeah, i'm good with that.
I would replace Roberts with Hasan fucking Piker because at least the Turkroach would be honest about what he is instead of Roberts being a fucking Democrat in Sheep's clothing and ruling with the liberals under the guise of "WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE LEGACY OF THE COURT GUYS"
 

5th Circuit Court of Appeals rules that Texas can force public schools to display the Ten Commandments. This decision is in part due to the Muslim "I DON'T WANT THAT GAY ASS SHIT AT MY SCHOOOOOL" Supreme Court case.

How long until you have some Muzzies that will threaten to burn down a school for displaying the 10 commandments?
 
So he hasn't been a judge but has fair bit of experience with the law.
To be fair, being SCOTUS really doesn't need you to be a judge or have that sort of experience. You just have to understand Constitutional Law and apply it appropriately. Literally anyone with a decent grasp of legal theory could do it. The issue is literally just ideologues ignoring what's actually said in order to push either financial or special interests. See DEI in schools for example, their argument boiled down to it not being explicitly legal but lol lmao gotta get browns into higher education somehow and then putting on a "hope racism can be fixed in the future! :)" at the end as a tease before a better SCOTUS took a look at it and completely dismantled the reasoning.

So you're saying that Fatpats should be Roberts replacement?
 
I really hate to say it but if DeSantis voted with the conservative justices 100% of the time I could honestly care less if he knows nothing about the law.

Virginia has shown that the left will show no mercy and trying to play fair will end in defeat.
He went to Harvard Law retard.
