It never disappoints. I can watch it over and over again, even though I've practically memorized it.

Duck Soup is classic. Rufus T. Firefly, leader of Freedonia goes to war with Sylvania.

A bit of good news. Unanimous decision not to restrict access to mifepristone.

Y’know, I couldn’t remember the name Duck Soup, so I grabbed Room Service (which is great, but not *as* great)
Thanks for the kick in the brain cells
Trivia: their Marx Bros movie was Love Happy; not very good, there are only 3 reasons to see it: Groucho (only bro in the pic); Marilyn Monroe as an ingenue; Raymond Burr as a thug with no lines at all…who keeps missing his cues, so his every move is *late*).
For me, Burr is the funniest thing in the movie - mostly because he’s not playing for laughs
OK, done now

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the White House and federal agencies such as the FBI may continue to urge social media platforms to take down content the government views as misinformation, handing the Biden administration a technical if important election-year victory.

Not good. Probably really bad.

Really bad. But predictably in line with the neoliberal playbook. I invoke and intone a terrible curse upon the Federalist Society: the architects of this systematic gutting of of democracy. Really bad.
SCOT, Supreme Court Of Trump.

Because the leopards will never eat MY face thought the six. To be in a position where you couldn't be fired with a lifetime appointment while providing absolute immunity to whomever is in charge, normally not a concern. They must feel reassured that if TFFG gets back in power, he always looks after people that have helped him - most loyal guy around.

Six conservative-leaning justices signed the majority opinion, but the three liberals dissented.
Led by Sonia Sotomayor, they expressed "fear for our democracy".
"Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival?" Justice Sotomayor wrote. "Immune."
"Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."
"Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done," Justice Sotomayor wrote. "In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor warns of Trump immunity 'nightmare'
The three liberals, led by Sonia Sotomayor, paint a dark picture of absolutist power.

Fantasies aside … he won’t. Decent to the core.
But not dumb. We have a solid ten million seconds to watch him and his Cabinet formulate and deploy a riposte to the accursed minions of the Federectionist Society.
No threats against violence we have said it twice now, people are being banned over it.
We have said this previously, iwill not have RIU go down because you cant keep thoughts to yourself. Google threats of violence against specific political figures and see many people have been raided over this shit.
Stop it

So, the campaign issue has drastically changed now. No longer is it about policy, or who's too old. It's about the fundamental principle that no one is above the law. Now, it's truly about the forward momentum of the American Experiment. Does the voting public want to keep it going? The most important election in the nation's history. Not hyperbole.
