Cult Wives Club

So if the judge presiding over the Trump hush money case should recuse himself because his daughter is politically active, then shouldn’t Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito recuse themselves as well because their wives are also VERY politically active?

It’s the same thing with Trump and all the MAGAts who repeat his howls that judges in Washington, DC, Fulton County, and New York City are corrupt, but the one he appointed in Florida is upstanding and ethical in every way, even though she’s exposed her bias for Trump multiple times.

Even before a jury in Manhattan ruled that Trump is guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to pay hush money to a porn star he claims he never had sex with, Trump and Trump goons were claiming that Judge Juan Merchan was biased and should recuse himself because his daughter worked for a company that contracts work for Democratic political campaigns.

Laura Loomer, a fake MAGA journalist, went as far as to claim Merchan wasn’t qualified to preside over the trial because he “invaded” this country from Colombia, which is also where the Florida judge overseeing Trump’s classified document case, Aileen Cannon, was born. Merchan immigrated to this nation when he was six years old. Remember when the goons said they don’t mind immigrants just so long as they did it legally? It seems that’s another lie. For a propagandist fuckshit like Laura Loomer, being born in Colombia is a crime.

Merchan’s daughter working for Democratic campaigns isn’t enough for MAGAts to scream about, they also have to tack on a few lies like she tweeted an image of Trump behind bars. She never did that, but I have.

What we haven’t heard are Republicans calling for Thomas and Alito to recuse themselves from Trump cases that their wives are connected to. Martha Alito showed support for the January 6 white nationalist insurrection. She was so connected to it that she got into a feud with neighbors for their vile act of placing signs in their yard supportive of democracy. Ginni Thomas didn’t just wave a flag for MAGA terrorists, she was on the team trying to overturn the election Donald Trump lost, even sending texts back and forth to members of the Trump administration on strategy for stealing the election from then President-Elect Biden.

The defense against Thomas and Alito recusing themselves is that they didn’t directly engage in Trump treason, their wives did. They can’t be biased for Trump because their wives are their own individual persons with freedom of speech and it’s no way in connection to their husbands’ jobs.

For Merchan, the goons say he can’t be impartial because his adult daughter, who also has freedom of speech, her own career, probably has her own home, and I’m sure is never consulted by her father on his cases, has anti-Trump and anti-Republican views. Meanwhile, Thomas and Alito both live with their wives and it’s quite possible that they even share the same beds with them.

MAGAts also scream about Judge Merchan’s $15 donation to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign while ignoring that Judge Cannon donated $100 to Ron DeSantis’ 2018 gubernatorial campaign.

Believe it or not, people with political opinions and interest in the well-being of our nation can be fair and impartial.

Republicans lack more than facts…they lack consistency.
