Trump Takes SCOTUS Rulings Personally, of Course
“Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?”
— President Trump, on Twitter.
SCOTUS Dumps on POTUS
The Supreme Court might be on the way to an anti-Trump trifecta.
First it was rights for gays and lesbians, then it was upholding DACA.
If Trump’s relying on John and Neil
For their vaunted conservative appeal,
He’s going to find himself abandoned, alone and in deep caca.
Biden Leads Trump by Nearly 10 Points Nationally
50.5% to 41.3%
FiveThirtyEight launched its polling averages for the 2020 presidential race: “Biden currently leads Trump 50.5% to 41.3% in national polls, according to our average — a 9.2-point lead. … Biden also leads Trump in swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona — although his lead in many swing states are not as wide as his margin in national polls, suggesting that the Electoral College could once again favor Trump in the event of a close election.”
It’s the Far Right, Not Antifa, We Have to Fear
“At a time when President Trump and other top U.S. officials have claimed — with little evidence — that leftist groups were fomenting violence, federal prosecutors have charged various supporters of a right-wing movement called the ‘boogaloo bois,’ with crimes related to plotting to firebomb a U.S. Forest Service facility, preparing to use explosives at a peaceful demonstration and killing a security officer at a federal courthouse.”

Almost Two-Thirds Disapprove of Trump’s Handling of Protests
61% to 35%
A new Washington Post-Schar School poll finds President Trump receives negative marks for his handling of the protests over George Floyd’s death, with 61% saying they disapprove and 35% saying they approve. Much of the opposition to Trump is vehement, as 47% of Americans say they strongly disapprove of the way the president has responded to the protests. Also important: 69% say the killing of Floyd represents a broader problem within law enforcement.
Where Was God?
Despite his troubles, it don’t look like Trump is quittin’,
And he’ll probably manage to evade a fate that’s fittin’.
For this universe is flawed,
Because if there’d been a God,
When Trump raised that Bible at St. John’s, he woulda been smitten.
