Alito, Flying the Flag Wrong

 THE UPSIDE DOWN American flag is an "appeal to heaven", an expression of desperation, as of having done all we can, and leaving it in the hands of God. This strange appeal to primitive religiosity originated during revolutionary war times; Washington is said to have employed it. An anthropomorphic deity, on America's side. Christian nationalism, hubris, silliness.The topsy turvy national ensign has reappeared throughout American history, used by aggrieved parties to state their desperate case. It had lain dormant, largely, until 2013, when the Christian nationalist dusted it off and brought it out of the attic to express their deluded belief that not only had America been founded as a "Christian nation", but that the Christian had somehow been lost in the shuffle amid the swamping avalanche  of that most dreadful specter, creeping secularism. And now, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court o conservative indignation flies the panic stricken emblem again,at his own home. When the blow back, a sound a furry backlash from the reasonable left, Alito, atypically right wing coward without any desire for self accountability, blames it on his wife, saying that she die it in response to  neighbor's anti-Trump yard sign. Considering the number of lawsuits pertaining directly to Donald Trump's criminal career are soon to come before the seemingly stoned high court, the quite reasonable suggestion that the extremist justice should recuse himself from all of them is being increasingly made,but has yet to cross his cross mind. It never will, for .quite obviously Samuel Alito is not only on a righteous Christian quest to elevate Donald Trump back into the presidency, he is delusionally convinced that Don the Con never should have left it in the first place. Alito is a stark,raving lunatic dyed in the wool election denier, a swallower of the toxic Kool Aid of Trump's big election  lie. Alito's people, the insurrectionist MAGA mob,manned much by evangelical Christians of the violent mob kind, flew the upside down flag in large numbers on the day they tried to overthrow the government, violently. Equal justice under law,rendered by unbiased jurists expert in the law? fuggettaboutit. The United States is now judicially overseen by a gang of ultra right wing extremist thugs, perfectly exemplified by his dishonor, Sammy the Con Alito. Alito will never voluntarily recuse himself from his opportunity to help reinstate the criminal terrorist Trump in the White House. Nor will there be help pursuing reasonable justice under law from the other five extremist Trump appointed SCOTUS members. Instead they will gather together hiding behind their nefarious upside down unpatriotic flag, plotting their next act of desperation. The best guess is that it will consist of another false claim of election victory by the oft indicated Donald Trump, another screeching MAGA, and yet another gang march to the Capitol, guns and upside down flags in hand,ready to smash windows, break down doors, and kill more people.
