• (2:01) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Corruption is coming down so heavy I feel like I need to wear a HAT. Now we have to indict a SECOND Supreme Court Justice. Nine days after he got onto the Court, Neil Gorsuch sold his part of a Colorado house for at least $250,000 to the head of a mega-law firm that has since been involved in 22 CASES before Gorsuch’s court.

22! 22 cases before Gorsuch’s court! Ha, ha, ha. Sorry, but I don’t have that many fingers.

• Gorsuch has voted for their side in 7 of 10 cases.
• And of course: THE DISCLOSURE FORM FOR THE SALE? GORSUCH LEFT THE BOX FOR THE NAME OF THE BUYER BLANK.
• The Senate Judiciary Committee can’t subpoena Gorsuch or the buyer or Clarence Thomas or anybody because Dianne Feinstein is still MIA and can’t provide the clinching vote. And John Roberts has finally replied to Chairman Dick Durbin’s “invitation” to testify, and he said no way. He might as well have said “GOOD LUCK … DICK.”

Dick Durbin is on the left. John Roberts is on the right. But we knew that already, right? (Hey, that’s a double joke!)

• Meanwhile Ted Cruz confesses, on tape, to the Dueling Electoral Slates/Grand Commission/Let’s Party Like It’s 1876 Coup that he and other Senators and Congressmen started to run on January 6th before they were interrupted by the OTHER coup.

Don’t you hate it when the coup you’re planning gets interrupted by another coup?

• And remember, as the trial begin, when Trump defends himself in the E. Jean Carroll rape case by saying, “She’s not my type,” what he’s really saying is, “She’s not my type TO RAPE.”

• (20:49) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Biden is too old? He’ll be 81 on Election Day and Trump will be 78. And he failed to do … what? And your younger choice who can keep the Serial Killer out of the White House is … who? And why Fox didn’t collapse at 8 PM after firing Carlson, why he hasn’t said anything

There are 40 million reasons why *ucker Carlson is keeping quiet. Enjoy the silence.

• and why he seemingly turned from the moderate he appeared to be on CNN and MSNBC into the monster on Fox. (Frankly: The success of Maddow, Scarborough, and me broke him.)
• (29:11) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Saluting Alito at Harvard; the far right host Michael Knowles now hoping to ban books, trans, and “weird sex” did his own sex film The House of Shades just a decade ago; and the woman over whom NBC’s Jeff Shell destroyed his career reportedly was also hooking up with the now 80-year old billionaire owner of Hockey’s Seattle Kraken David Bonderman. Hey, Babe, wanna ride on my Zamboni?

Remember: Whenever you play a shell game, you’re taking a gamble.

• (35:37) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Titus, on death row in New York
• (36:59) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: My appendix burst and not only did I not know it for two days, but I kept working — AND beat CNN in the ratings. (Today, my burst appendix by itself could beat CNN in the ratings.)

That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
