Just got a newsflash from CNN: SCOTUS just ruled 6-3 that LGBTQ people ARE covered by anti-discrimination laws. This is considered a 'HYUGE' defeat for Scrotus who just recently removed LGBTQ rights from health care legislation.

Trying to chase down the story.

Just the 'blurb' but this article will be updated as it develops:

This is the link that should be a PDF of the decision. I can't get it to come up, but that's probably because so many sources are trying to access it.

A nice niece?
This should be fun.

Too Much and Never Enough
Book coming out.

www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jun/15/donald-trump-niece-book-about-her-family-mary-too-much-and-never-enough

I read an article about that upcoming book Lweji. Can't wait for the Tweet storm, it should be a laugh riot! Wonder if he'll call her book 'Fake Niece'.

IIRC it comes out just about the same time as John Bolton's does. Although I guess Scrotus' Regime is expected to file a lawsuit on Bolton.

Unbelievable treatment of a supposed ally. How many more days to go?

Trump says US troop deployment in Germany will drop to 25,000 (says it’s about 52,000 now) because Germany is “delinquent”

Now here’s a threat to John Bolton straight from Trump’s empty maw.

“President Donald Trump said Monday that his former national security adviser, John Bolton, could face a “criminal problem” if he doesn’t halt plans to publish a new book that describes scattershot, sometimes dangerous, decision-making by a president focused only on getting re-elected.”

Joe Biden doesn't seem any better

Claws

141 to Election Day
218 to Inauguration Day (this is when he's officially OUT)

I predict a lot of bullshit will be attempted between the two dates, some will be successful and some will not. He's not going to 'go quietly into that dark night'.

lion thanks for the links, but WaPo is behind a paywall for me. I did find the info I was looking for elsewhere. I wanted to know which Justices voted which way.

Majority Opinion; Gorsuch, Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan (Gorsuch and Roberts were jaw droppers)

Dissenting: Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito (no surprises there)

Joe Biden doesn't seem any better

At all?!
that's a bit of a stretch!

He apologise hours after. Unlike Trump who has never apologised about anything in his life and has shown racist and bigoted traits throughout his life.

Here is Biden's apology...

"I should not have been so cavalier," he said. "I've never, never, ever taken the African American community for granted."

He added: "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy."

He continued: "No-one should have to vote for any party based on their race, their religion, their background."

I think Trump is going to self implode when this book comes out...

Biden wasn't my favourite Democrat by a long mile, but he's still a few light years ahead of Trump.

What's that trait called? Humanity.

Trump says that 'if we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases' of the coronavirus

Just stop... listening to anything Trump says, really.

Hey, Roussette, DNFTT. That was weeks ago; Trump has probably caused 100,000 deaths since then.

I've just noticed the Gorsuch vote.
But not only a vote.

"The liberals chose not to write concurring opinions, allowing Gorsuch's ringing endorsement of LGBTQ rights and sound rejection of Trump administration arguments, to stand alone."

I'm very interested to see what 'Mary Mary quite contrary' says in that book of hers😊

Different galaxy entirely Lweji.

I remember Dilbert! Was just my era

So going by Trump's theory that if the country does less tests, there will be less cases...
can I assume from that... if I break my leg and I don't have an X ray, it won't be broken?
Just checking

If you’re on Twitter, sign up for your Daily Dilbert.

I'm signing up, thank you!
