In another round of late-night social media posts, Donald Trump attacked the Supreme Court for not overturning his loss in the 2020 presidential election — and tried to pressure the court to rule his way in future election cases.

Flurries of angry social media posts are not unusual for Trump, but this one was particularly alarming for its scope and the criticism it directed against the nation’s highest court, where six out of nine justices are conservatives and three are Trump appointees.

      No, they don’t care. They just try to make as many millions as they can and if the country descends into anarchy they can go live in Europe with their wealth and connections.

      The fact that this line appears not to be crossed already is the single most damaging aspect for the US

        Exactly. Can you imagine getting in the Obama tan suit days and having an administration try 1/100th of the crap this one is doing? It’s amazing how trump has normalized high treason and rampant corruption.

          He’s just highlighting what was already true. Rich people can do what they like because they control the government and they have class solidarity.

      Problem is most of the congress has empowered Trump too much, so if they step out against him, they are going to be equally implicated.

      At this point, it is ride or die for them.

      Literally no, he could start dragging congress people out and shooting them dead in public and the GOP would cover him for it. Say it’s too soon to discuss between rounds. Especially if he leaves the GOP for last, at which point the dead are declared RINOs and ignored.
