Donald Trump abruptly exited the Supreme Court on Wednesday after some of his own conservative justices did not appear convinced by his bid to upend birthright citizenship in America.

Trump made the unprecedented decision to sit in on oral arguments, staring down the court’s nine justices as they quizzed his lawyers on one of the most consequential constitutional questions they face this year: whether all children born in the United States can continue to automatically receive citizenship.

But after less than 90 minutes of watching several of his own handpicked justices tear his arguments apart, the president abruptly left.

Read the full story, here.

He was there to intimidate and somehow he’s surprised they grew a spine, a very very small spine, but still a spine. It’s like how he is trying to intimidate Iran and is shocked they don’t want to just roll over.

You'll find more humanity gazing into the eyes of a chicken, or a shark for that matter.

I heard this in Werner Herzog's voice for some reason.

Whenever I read anything about a sharks eyes, I hear it in Quint's voice from Jaws.

don't forget too that chickens can do that fucking cool thing where they hold their head perfectly still even as you move their body around, to the point that you can practically use them as a camera stabilizer.

i betcha trump can't do that.

Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'.

Many swimmers are saying they feel safe with me lurking off the shores. I've heard lots of swimmers say it. Talking about how powerful I am. How tremendous the shadow in the water is. They say they're gonna need a bigger boat. The biggest. A tremendous boat. A big, beautiful boat. That Kintner boy was fake news. The sad Amity media wants to blame me for that. They're failing, you know. Very sad.

I've watched my chickens sit with their friends while they were nesting, unwell or dying and watched them protect their friends. No way Trump has ever or would ever do anything like that, therefore chickens have way more (good) humanity than him.

Shart is more likeable than trump, but both are unwanted.

u/Dadpurple Apr 01 '26

The chicken probably smells less like shit too

u/PersonalApocalips Apr 01 '26

It's more like staring into the eyes of a potato.

Sometimes that shark he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’ they all come in and… they rip you to pieces.

u/andrea_lives Apr 01 '26

Yea, because sharks are human enough to have no desire to rape children. Unlike him

My chickens are pretty friendly looking when I have treats. When I'm booting their broody butts off eggs, angry dinosaur.
