BREAKING: Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drops a bomb on MAGA and announces that she's filing articles of impeachment against the corrupt Supreme Court after their immunity ruling.
This is incredible...
"The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy," AOC wrote on X.
"It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return," she added.
The announcement was precipitated by the Republican-controlled Supreme Court's horrific ruling that Trump is immune from prosecution for official acts taken as president, but with distinction between official and private actions.
The case now goes back to the lower court to determine if his actions were official or private.
The court is crafting a fascist monarchy right in front of ours and if Trump wins another term there's no telling what horrors he'll rain down on this country.

BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez obliterates the Republicans' hack witness during a hearing for the sham Biden impeachment inquiry.
This is one for the books...
"I have a quick question. Simple. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime?" AOC asked Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of Hunter Biden who has been doing MAGA's bidding.
"I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal..." began Bobulinski.
"Did you witness the president commit a crime? Is it your testimony?" interjected AOC.
"Yes," said Bobulinski.
"And what crime have you witnessed?" asked AOC.
"How much time do I have to go through it?" he responded, evading the question.
"It is simple: you name the crime," she responded. "Did you watch him steal something?"
"Corruption statutes, RICO conspiracy, FARA..." he rambled, without offering any details.
"What is the crime sir? Specifically!" she said.
"You asked me to answer the question, I answered the question," whined Bobulinski, who had not answered the question. "RICO, you're obviously not familiar with, corruption statutes..."
"Excuse me sir! Excuse me sir. Excuse me sir," said AOC. "RICO is not a crime, it is a category. What is the crime?"
Bobulinski then whined, rambled, and dissembled without providing a specific crime. As usual, Republicans want to rely on vague assertions to do their dirty PR work. AOC reclaimed her time and then tore into the entire inquiry.
"Clearly, what we are seeing here today is a continuation of the fifteen month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert," said AOC. "Impeachment 101, the majority party or whomever is raising impeachment must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor."
During another stretch of the hearing, AOC voiced the same issue—
"At this point, the story isn’t the fact that the basis of this impeachment inquiry is wrong. The story is, ‘Why it is proceeding anyway?’" she asked, pointing out that there are "no charges" on the table.
"I have yet to hear in the chairman’s opening the allegation that they are specifically charging the president of the United States with," she went on. "I am hearing about the ‘Biden family.’ I am hearing about this and that. I am not hearing the specific allegation by this committee. What is it? It is not here. And that is the problem."
“The story is when this committee knew they were working with falsified evidence? That is the story," she added.
Well said congresswoman! This impeachment inquiry is an utter disgrace and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. All that it proves is that Republicans have nothing to hit President Biden on. The sooner it concludes, the better.

Claire O’Neil burns Peter Dutton saying “it’s not just the Richardson Review” that found serious problems under his leadership but “3 reports” which found Dutton’s record is “littered with systems that he has wrecked & he has destroyed.”🔥#QT
Senator Jackie Lambie blasting the morons at the tennis booing the Prime Minister.
I congratulate her!
“Because well, we’ve got a heap of rich people over there watching the tennis finals and they’ve had a bit of their tax taken off them to pay it forward, to give to those who are less fortunate. For God’s sake, I don’t have a problem with that.
“They just don’t like him. They want the Liberals in … I’m not sure it’s any better. The grass isn’t any greener on the other side to be honest with you at this point.”
Just stopped by my local woolies to stock up for the weekend. Peter Dutton should be ashamed - he called for a boycott of Australia’s largest employer and we’ve seen growing reports of woolies staff being abused and harassed at work.
This weekend, remember everyone deserves to be safe at work.
My take on the changes to Stage 3 tax cuts: the real story is about tax avoidance, but in any case the really rich are laughing at as we argue about small change.
