Fucking psychopaths.

I would say that the most telling thing is that there hasn't been a similar shift among Republicsns.

Anyone who can look at what Israel has done and is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza, and increasingly in the West Bank, without being filled with horror, revulsion and pity is a monster.

"Shamed" implies he's capable of feeling shame, which I very much doubt.

And they didn't even really try to hide it - the tax cuts for the top 1% are pretty much exactly equal to the Medicaid cuts.

So millions of Americans are losing their healthcare so that a few thousand can afford bigger yachts and more mansions, and not just in a sort of roundabout sense, but in an officially mandated transfer directly from the poor to the rich.

If the world was just, every single Congressperson who voted in favor of this bill would face criminal charges for every single avoidable death that it will cause.

80 years of jingoistic propaganda, fear-mongering, religious exceptionalism, war profiteering, institutional racism and lies has created a nation of psychopaths.

Because they're complicit.

The US is now actively and deliberately killing poor people.

Not coincidentally pretty much exactly so.

All of this assumes at least a possibility that the Supreme Court will rule according to law, precedent and/or the Constitution, so that there's still a possibility that it will rule in favor of the people rather than in favor of Trump and his cadre of would-be autocrats.

There is no such possibility.

The degree to which the Court hasn't yet entirely destroyed individual liberty and the rule of law is only the degree to which it considers it not yet possible or necessary. The exceptions to which the author points - opportunities for the Constitution and the rule of law to still prevail - are only gaps the Court hasn't yet closed entirely. They WILL close them.

Sort of the clinical equivalent of a big, blinking neon sign that says, "I am a psychopath."
