Benedict Cannon probably thinks she gets Thomas' chair cuz he and Alito might be ready to retire after Jan 20.

I'll be 70 in two years. But that's in human life. In Trump life, we'll all probably age 10 years for every one year he's in office.

and convicted before SCOTUS issued their draconian immunity ruling and would have been in prison now.

Although looking at it, the Republican party died in 2016. This is their end game, and the country has been corrupted by money and power as they have helped it along. The America we all knew prior to 2016 is dead and gone, and it's not coming back. We're either headed for another civil war, during which the Russians or Chinese will march in and burn what's left, or a nuclear holocaust instigated by an insane, demented old man in the White House.

We lasted for over 235 years, not bad. There are only a few democracies that are older. Pat on the back.

Even President Biden said he was disappointed with his choice of AG.

He's not in the WH yet, and you can be certain there's a whole bunch of people within our upper ranks of the military and intelligence apparatus that know he can't be given the codes again. He's a clear danger to the world. How could it be allowed? I fear what could occur between now and January.

There are now 53 Republicans in the Senate, giving Trump a veto-proof Senate who will approve every one of his judicial nominees.

If you think Judge Loose Cannon is bad, just wait. I guarantee in a year she will be praised as a paragon of judicial virtue.

I was just saying this last night.

Cannon, Alito & Thomas. The three stopped two prosecutions which would have made it impossible for Trump to be the candidate.

This was all planned starting from last year with the SCOTUS when they declined to fast track the J6 appeal knowing that they would take the appeal anyway to delay the trial. The Thomas dissent about the Special Counsel not being legal which Cannon then relied upon was all part of it.

There are 3 other justices on that bench who worked on the SCOTUS case, engaged in the 'Brooks Bros Riot' (Kavanaugh, who like beer) to stop the ballot count in FL back in 2000.

And behind it all back then, Karl Ratfucker Rove with an assist from Jeb Bush.
