I cant believe shaming a conservative didnt work, again
They are literally unshamable. Ideologist can’t feel shame for their ideology; they would immediately no longer be ideologists.
Having you tried SLAMMING them? If that doesn’t work, try BLASTING them for their actions.

It’s hard to look at stuff like this and not feel, at some level, that these fascist fuckstains are actively courting political violence with what they do. They’re essentially proving they’re wholly and entirely unaccountable, like a monarch.
They seem to be forgetting that the country was established in large part because people were angry enough about a very similar dynamic a quarter-ish millennia ago that the fought a fucking war over it.
I’m not saying anyone should murder this guy or other politic figures like him but if a mob of people did, I can’t imagine being upset. They can’t ignore mob violence and not expect it to bounce back in them.
They can’t

They absolutely know what they are doing - riling up their poorly educated stooges to do the dirty work of the very wealthy.
Conservatives are a cancer. There is no place in a modern culture for their disease of hate.
Conservatism has always been a plague of death. It is long overdue for a cure.
Conservatism is a valid political position that has always existed and is hardwired in the brains of some people. MAGAs trying to overthrow the government is nowhere near equivalent.
I’ve stopped using the term conservative and started using the term “anti-liberalism”
It’s a thread of political thought going all the way back to the foundation of America, particularly proliferated in the American south.
Careful, you don’t want to cross into “final solution” territory.
Regressives aren’t an ethnic group.
I’m not arguing this isn’t horrible but why are we just hearing about this now?
I’ve wondered the same thing. Maybe a the Enquirer did a catch and kill payoff to the neighbors when it happened?
The only two choices are strategy or incompetence. With some initial searches no one is covering this aspect.
Even if it was his wife who turned it upside down, as he claims, it’s still his house as well and he could have opposed her decision to do so. On top of that, couples are (supposed to be) a team. If he didn’t know what she was getting up to in their own house, it speaks pretty poorly of him.
But obviously he, at the very least, condoned the upside down flag by allowing its presence.
I think the bigger takeaway from this is not that it was his wife who did it (regardless of whether that’s true), it’s that he readily threw his wife under the bus in an attempt to save face for himself. That, by itself, speaks volumes to the type of guy he is at his very core. Or even his supposed loved ones are safe if he feels threatened. Now that’s the sad part.
It’s easy to do that when she will suffer no consequences whatsoever for it. He’s not sacrificing her to save himself, he’s using a convenient excuse whereby the member of the household who has some nominal expectation of impartiality and civic support keeps their hands clean because their spouse has apparently have zero implications for their impartiality or ethics (see Thomas, Ginni).
You just described what it is to throw someone under the bus. 😊
To “throw under the bus” is a figurative phrase in English meaning to blame or abandon a person for selfish reasons. It is typically used to describe a disavowal of a previously amicable relationship to avoid being associated with something controversial or embarrassing.
“Throw someone under the bus” implies the other person going under the bus is bad for them and you’re doing it so they receive the harm instead of you. If someone says “hey, who shit in my flower bed” and you blame your dog, the dog isn’t going to suffer any consequences. I think Alito’s wife probably thinks he’s outplayed the haters, not that he’s harmed her to save himself, because nothing at all will happen to her.
This is the selfish narcissist core right here. He threw his wife under the bus rather than backing her up.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Reminds me of Ted Cruz blaming his family for him skipping out to Cancun during a state-level crisis.
DISBAR. I don’t need excuses or more wives blamed (looking at you Thomas)
I don’t know why we’re getting mad about this when there’s absolutely nothing that can be done. The Senate isn’t going to impeach him, and the House definitely wouldn’t convict. It feels like getting heartburn for no reason.
Because when justice is dead, people get mad. And they should get mad.
My therapist says getting mad about things I can’t change is bad for my mental health.
Not wrong, but you got it backwards- house impeached senate convicts.
Either way, never gonna happen.
Yup.
You explain why people are mad in your statement. They’re mad because nothing can be done.
He only has a lifetime appointment. He can be removed at any time if Congress is unwilling to act. The same goes for CEOs trying to interfere with unionization efforts. We’re running out of peaceful options and these oligarchical fucks aren’t nearly afraid enough.
White nationalist on the court. Pack the court. Give the people a voice in a system designed to punish them.
Add 4
Alternatively, impeach 4.
Why not both?
Yeah, that’s not passing Congress, even if Democrats had the majority in the House.
