Playing ‘SCOTUS Says’ to death?

Playing ‘SCOTUS Says’ to death?

 

Some say SCOTUS was derived from the

Freak word SCROTUM; and means sweaty

sack; musty, itchy, bag, or pouch. Ouch!

Others say SCOTUS is a sack of nuts dangling in the

den of dark money. Low-hanging fruit—between two

white columns of justice! Some say SCOTUS means walking

Conflicts of interest: Corporate paymasters pulling taut strings

beneath Crow-colored robes.

Others say SCOTUS means corporate state machinery, only the

Most mega of mega-donors can buy

Some say, ‘SCOTUS Says,’ is this cute childhood game we’ve

Mastered. Game we’re doomed to play forever—Absent adult

Politics:

SCOTUS Says, “Slip back into Spiderman underwear— Wonder

Woman pajamas. SCOTUS Says, Remount Shetland Ponies;

Wear milk mustaches with Mouseketeer ears; Speak Superman

fractured fairytales of “Truth, justice, and the ‘American’ way!”

SCOTUS Says, “Place index fingers on your lips. Part your

thighs! Bare your womb! Show your uterus for profound findings —

Alternative facts—Coat-hangers of Klanned Parenthood:

Pubic hair on ice cold Coke cans, in Long Dong Silver V. The People!”

SCOTUS Says, “Cover your mouth with your hands—Starve

yourself for Wall Street warlords! Chew on debt peonage pie

for champagne, caviar, Cayman Island crowds! Be the wind

Beneath wings of sleek private planes stashing loot in St. Kits.”

SCOTUS Says, “Fold your arms across your chests; As grand

dragon governors— Recycled confederates— joust woke wind-

mills; slay CRT dragons and disenfranchise colored citizens; and

Steal anything not nailed down… Dark Ages of AI…”

SCOTUS Says, “Hands up! You’re getting shot—Shooting Of The

Day— at your school, shopping center, synagogue, church, mosque, or

Workplace…”
