THOUGHTS ABOUT TWO STORIES FROM THIS PAST WEEK.

BREAKING WITH DECADES OF FOREIGN POLICY, BOTH FINLAND AND SWEDEN ARE SEEKING MEMBERSHIP IN NATO. 

I GUESS WARNING BOTH NATIONS NOT TO SEEK AN ALLIANCE WITH COUNTRIES WHO WOULD COME TO THEIR AID IN CASE OF INVASION BY A HOSTILE POWER, WAS NOT THE DIRE "THREAT" VLADIMIR PUTIN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I GUESS THE COMPARISONS TO NAZI GERMANY, DOCUMENTED WAR CRIMES, AND ECONOMIC ISOLATION BY MUCH OF THE GLOBE CARRIES MORE WEIGHT THAN THE MANIACAL RAMBLINGS OF A WANNABE STALIN. (HAVING YOUR STATE-RUN MEDIA STOOGES, {"FOXNEWS EAST,"}, MAKE INANE NUCLEAR WAR THREATS WAS TRANSPARENTLY MANIPULATIVE)

ALSO, BEING ADMIRED BY DONALD TRUMP, AND OTHER GOP FASCISTS DOES NOT MEAN MUCH TO THOSE GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE NOT RUN BY SOCIOPATHIC DESPOTS.

THE CONTROVERSY OVER PICKETING THE HOMES OF MEMBERS OF THE SCOTHUS WHO ARE CONSIDERED PROPONENTS OF OVERTURNING ROE VS WADE.

WHILE I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED NOT TO HAVE JUDGES FEAR MAKING DECISIONS THAT ARE UNPOPULAR, I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE NEED;

- NOT TO BE STUCK WITH 3 JUSTICES WHO WERE APPOINTED BY A PRESIDENT WHO WAS PLACED IN OFFICE BECAUSE OF A RIGGED ELECTION. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED  THROUGH THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF TREASONOUS AMERICANS, AND A FOREIGN POWER. (RUSSIA). THIS IS MADE EVEN WORSE BY SPECIFIC ACTIONS THAT THE PRESIDENT ENGAGED IN WHILE HOLDING OFFICE THAT ARE CONSIDERED SEDITIOUS AND CRIMINAL. THIS INCLUDES  AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

- NOT ALLOW THE SCOTHUS TO DECIDE ITS OWN SET OF ETHICAL GUIDELINES. EXAMPLE: HAVING A JUSTICE DECIDE A CASE THAT CLEARLY INVOLVES THE ACTIONS AND LOYALTIES OF A SPOUSE. (CLARENCE THOMAS)
