MAGA judges sure love to be handed free shit. think of it as judicial welfare. look at Sam Alito. his plutocrat pals are continually loading him into their private jets and shuttling him off to one luxury all-expenses-paid vacation after another. does Fishin’ Trip Sammy pay back his benefactors by ruling the way they tell him to? does Donald Trump shit in a courtroom?

Clarence Thomas is such a greedy fuckface that he threatened to quit the Supreme Court if someone didn’t augment his “measly” Court income. Nazi memorabilia aficionado Harlan Crow stood up and said “I got this, bro” and for the last two decades has been pretty much underwriting Clarence and Ginni’s entire lavish lifestyle.

well, you’ll never guess who else just got caught with her hand in this fun cookie jar: Number One Trump Fangirl Judge Aileen “Classified Documents? I Don’t See Any Classified Documents” Cannon.

you see, there’s a federal ethics law that requires judges to disclose all gifts they receive. NPR started looking into judges who have been flouting this rule and — uh-fucking-oh — there was Judge Fangirl, right smack in the middle of the list.

Cannon, herself a Trump appointee, attended two seminars at a luxury resort in Montana, but the privately funded seminar disclosures for both events were not posted online until NPR began making inquiries.

Great rant today. Tiedrich is all over Judge Cannon for her "technical issues" failure to report the luxury resort seminars. Then he gets on Chump's case for his weak, whiny weekend fundraiser at the Florida golf motel.

Best of all he has a ton of stuff on Governor Kristi Noem and her trashed political career. Please click on the OP link to read the rest on Tiedrich's blog "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion.."

1. K&R for exposure

[Passages]

2. I'm not generally impressed with Margaret Brennan when she interviews

Republicans and or Democrats, but she must have been invested in this one because she was clearly prepared.

ha ha ha

It is well worth your time for anyone who has not seen it.

3. Corrupt welfare queen and king judges. This has to stop.

Republicans have turned us into a 3rd world country with a corrupted government on their side.

5. Previously judges could be counted on to act honorably and recuse

... whenever something like this was an issue. But not any more, not these corrupt judges. The one common factor is that they were all appointed during Chump's 4 years. Most of them were recommended by Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society.

Congress (mainly Mitch McConnell) prevented Obama from making judicial appointments during his last year so there was a large backlog of appointments when Chump came in.

4. "these "many world leaders," Kristi -- are they in the room with us right now?"

6. But Jimmy Carter had to put his peanut farm in a blind trust.

7. Oligarch news does not want you to dwell on their judges. It's not like emails, y'know.

[Wild blueberry]

8. Well, at least Kristi has Corey Lewandowski to, uh, fall back on

As for Aileen Cannon, that Loser J Stench sure knows how to attract trash, eh?

(From Tiedrich's rant0

Kristi Noem on Face the Nation

Margaret Brennan: "you talk about meeting some world leaders, and one specific one, quote:
'I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I'm sure he underestimated em, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants: (I'd been a children's pastor, after all)' Did you meet Kim Jung Un?"

Noem: "you know, as soon as this was brought to my attention, I certainly made some changes, and looked at this passage. I've met with many, many world leaders. I've travelled around the world."

Brennan: "So you did not meet with Kim Jung Un?"

Noem: "I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics."

[Otterdaemmerung]

11. From her CBS interview with Nate Burleson:

Noem: "I specifically have worked on policy for over 30 years, and over that time I have traveled around the world and I have met with leaders around the world. And that anecdote, I’ve asked them to change the content and it will be removed."

Thirty years? She's four days younger than me. According to Wikipedia, she was first elected to public office in 2006, when she won a seat in the South Dakota House of Representatives. Before that, she ran the family farm and added a lodge and restaurant to the family business. That would mean she's only been "working on policy" and "met with leaders around the world" for 18 years, not 30.

It seems she's just as much of a pathological liar as Trump is. Utterly deplorable.

13. Let me guess....

She took a trip (perhaps several) across our northern border into Canada, perhaps for business purposes. That’s probably the extent of her “world travels”. While on said trip(s), she met with a couple of business owners (world leaders).

10. It's a good rant.

Tiedrich is a treasure.

14. "...does Donald Trump shit in a courtroom?"

Classic comedy gold! This could easily replace bears in the woods! They're just so tired!
