On SCOTUS & Roberts ruling. Very disappointing but strictly temporary & brief delay benefiting Trump in case he is almost certain to lose, likely by unanimous decision. I believe this is ZERO evidence of Roberts 'siding with Trump' but is 100% Roberts protecting GOP for midterms

So what does the ruling do? It briefly, temporarily delays the release of Trump tax returns to Congress, while SCOTUS will consider if they take his matter for review. It is likely they decide not to, once they hear both sides. Even if decide to hear, likely they vote against him

What this does - yes - it buys time for Trump. Not much time, some weeks, not months or years. But once again, Trump was able to postpone some aspect of justice. And yes, I agree with all, this is not fair. BUT do NOT misread the SCOTUS call on this (brief) delay.

The MOTIVATION for SCOTUS to postpone Trump tax return release PAST this midterms election - is to help CONSERVATIVE causes into the election. In no way will releasing Trump taxes ever HELP the GOP into 2022 midterms - but likely it could devastate TURNOUT by GOP, if now revealed

Why? The Trump illusion is a fantasy, that will be bursted when Maga see that Trump is a con artist, who played cruel con game against Maga. Note. MANY Maga will never believe their Trump is 'not' Jesus. But some WILL be devastated if they find out he is a con artist husler fake

If just 5% or 10% of the core Maga base of Maga become disillusioned now a few days before the eleciton, and in their anger and despair, decide to 'sit out' this election cycle - it would devastate GOP election turnout, and give a wave election to Team Blue.

So Chief Justice Roberts's brief delay benefiting Trump is completely politically motivated, not to 'help Trump' but to 'help the GOP'. Anyone sane can see, Trump is MORTALLY AFRAID to reveal how broke he is, and has been for decades, and how much he owes Putin & Saudis

This SCOTUS delay is Yes, very unfair. A rich white man gets completely different treatment to anyone else not rich, not white, or not male

The Roberts call is politically motivated yes, but not 'for Trump'. He is helping conservatives into the 2022 midterms

The ONLY anwser to a twisted, biased, conservative-leaning corrupt Supreme Court is - OUR TURNOUT

THIS cycle, 2022, we MUST KEEP the Senate, or #MoscowMitch McConnell will make it WORSE by appointing more extremist judges

So use this energy to ORGANIZE, VOLUNTEER: drive TURNOUT
