The more that resident fascist #LeonardLeo—the radical Catholic Oz behind the SCOTUS curtain—appears in the news, the less effective his byzantine operation becomes.
What Leo is really good at is spreading that money around his network of non-profits & PACs & other orgs to maximize political spending & pay as little in taxes as possible.
You know, like they teach you in Church.
The Federalist Society is #LeonardLeo. The Judicial Crisis Network (which buys all those horrible ads) is him, too. Becket Fund has ties to Leo, too; that's the "religious liberty" law outfit that argued Hobby Lobby (Josh Hawley, specifically).
We know that Seid gave all that coin, but a lot of the funding for Leo's network is opaque. For all we know, Russian oligarchs and Saudi hardliners are underwriting this crap. (That's why we want disclosure laws, BTW.)
I wrote this a while ago. This donation is piquing the interest of some MSM journos. Interest needs to stay piqued.
This guy is responsible for Dobbs. He & his justices have blood on their hands.
Jared Kushner intentionally sabotaged the pandemic response, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, because he thought that would help his criminal FIL get re-elected. #BlueStateGenocide
I guess the Fox News host won't ask Jared if he had advance notice from his bestie MBS that Khashoggi was going to get killed.
How many times did Jared Kushner omit meetings with foreign nationals on his SF-86 form? How many times did he revise the document? Why did his FIL override the professionals and grant him a security clearance?
Let's revisit the (ridiculous) Sodom and Gomorrah story, since that phrase is trending.
Per Genesis 19, this is what went down:
[THREAD]
1/ Two angels show up at Lot’s house. The men of Sodom immediately set about trying to rape them.
Lot—the only honest man in that God-damned town, we’re told—implores them to please rape his virgin daughters instead of the angels. The men refuse.
2/ Lot escapes with said daughters, his wife turns into a pillar of salt, God obliterates the city. The widower Lot, who had no sons, gets so drunk in his grief that he blacks out, whereupon his daughters have sex with him, become pregnant, and bear him male heirs.
1/ WHAT LEONARD LEO wants you to know about Leonard Leo, first and foremost, is that he is a Knight of Malta. It’s an extremely selective group. Of the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world, only 13,000 are Knights of Malta—although most of them don’t go around bragging about it.
2/ Leo, I’m told, is very proud of this honor. First, because it demonstrates just how radically Catholic his radical Catholicism runs. And second, because it speaks to his importance.
Let's talk a little more about Putin's history of butchery and disregard for human life, Russian or otherwise.
[THREAD]
1/ During the Yeltsin years in the mid-90s, Russia participated in the First Chechen War, a brutal suppression of the popular uprising in Chechnya. Some 100,000 Chechens were slaughtered by Russian forces.
2/ The first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Dzhokhar Dudayev, was assassinated—struck by two laser-guided missiles that had honed in on his cellphone location, a technology provided to the FSB by the United States—WHILE HE WAS NEGOTIATING PEACE TERMS.
