    How is it that a sitting Supreme Court Justice is flying the flags of those who have and will again attempt to overthrow the lawfully elected government of the United States, and we are merely discussing recusal? Can you even imagine the response if a liberal Justice had flown a CPUSA related flag in the 1960s or whatever?

    Things are rotten.

      No no, you misunderstood. She’s just a flag enthusiast. It doesn’t mean whatever you think it means and the gaslight is definitely not flickering

      It’s simply the fact that we don’t have the laws in place to prevent it. A lot of our constitution was built on good faith politics. That no one would be stupid/lucky enough to get to these echelons on government. The modern day Rs know this and exploit it, and the Ds still play by the good faith playbook, and here we are.
