We all knew Alito was a piece of shit. Then we found out that he’s pro-insurrection and, to the shock of no one paying attention, a Christian Nationalist. Do we have a red line we cannot allow Supreme Court Justices to cross? How about being a fucking liar and really bad one at that?
Alito blamed the upside flag on a “neighborhood squabble.” Specifically, he said that a mean ol’ liberal called his wife a mean name so she flew the flag upside down because “it’s an international symbol of distress.”1
The problem is that Alito is, I may have mentioned this?, a fucking liar. A reporter for the New York Times interviewed Altio’s long-suffering neighbors and got the actual timeline of events2:
To better understand the clash, The Times interviewed Ms. Baden, her mother and her husband, as well as other neighbors, and reviewed the texts that Ms. Baden and her husband sent to friends after the episodes. Justice Alito, who did not respond to questions for this article, has in recent weeks given his own explanation of what happened.
There are some differences: For instance, the justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down.
Alito was explicit about this: His wife only put the flag up after the argument because she was just so darn upset!
But that was a fucking lie and Baden has the texts and police records to back it up. So Alito is a fucking traitor who really was waiting for Trump and his flunkies to put a case, ANY case, in front of him so he could halt the vote count and steal the election. Got it.
Oh, but wait! Alito also said the yard sign that hurt his wife’s delicate sensibilities so very much was right where children waiting for the school bus could see it! Won’t someone think of the children?! These goddamn liberals and their vulgar vulgarity ruining the minds of America’s future! Of course Mrs. Insurrectionist Alito was justified in hanging the American flag upside down!!!
Except…schools were not open in January of 2021 in Alexandria, Virginia. They were all virtual. Alito seems to have forgotten about that.
Oh yeah, Justin? How would you know that?! Well, fun fact! I lived in Alexandria in 2020. I moved a whole whopping 15 minutes away to Arlington in 2022. Guess where my kids were going to school in January of 2021?
Fucking nowhere! Schools were closed! I just said that!
But you don’t have to take 2024 Justin’s word for it. I wrote about virtual learning during COVID-19. Several times. It’s nice to have a contemporaneous record…
Here’s when we found out that schools here in Alexandria, Virginia where Samuel Alito lives were going to be virtual for the 2020-2021 school year. People grumped at me for this article.
Here’s me, a few weeks after the flag incident that the Washington Post knew about but couldn’t be bothered to fucking report, trying not to have a nervous breakdown because school was still fucking virtual in all of fucking Alexandria, Virginia where Samuel Alito lives.
This one was seven months later when the kids finally went back to school because before that school was still fucking virtual in ALL of Alexandria, Virginia where Samuel fucking Alito and his treasonous nutbag wife live!
So, yes, we know for a fact that Alito is a lying fucking piece of shit. And that he’s really bad at lying.
I don’t know about you, but allowing a lying insurrectionist to remain on the Supreme Court is intolerable. We may not be able to fire Alito, but we can make his life a living hell. Oligarch puppets like Alito think they do not answer to the public and they cry hot tears of rage when people treat them like the dirt they are. The rabble should know their place! Well, fuck you, asshole. I hope every meal at every fancy restaurant you go to tastes vaguely of pee.
Never let Alito forget we know what kind of filth he is and as long as Republicans stand behind this traitor, they have to pay for it at the ballot box. Burn the entire Republican Party to the ground and flush the ashes down the toilet where they belong.
There are 159 days until the 2024 election. Vote blue like your life depends on it.

And I have a slightly used bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
It’s important to understand that despite having what should have been a front-page article about a Supreme Court Justice lying, the Times chose to give the article a confusing and vague title, “The Alitos, the Neighborhood Clash and the Upside-Down Flag,” that tells us nothing about Alito being a fucking liar. Why? Because he’s a Republican, of course.
Alito is a lying dirtbag, as are all the justices who said precedent means settled law then proceeded to unsettle it. If one flies an insurrectionist flag, one is at worst an insurrectionist or at best a sympathizer.
I’m still chuckling over the pee comment. Someone, make it so!
HOW do we make his life a living hell?
(BTW someone may come after you for saying that. You might be aware, but the kids at Kent State weren’t, and it’s a lesson I learned well. Long before he met me, my husband was threatened by the National Guard at the very conservative college of Wooster in Ohio, for walking across campus — a week before Kent State. He said they were “obviously trigger happy and itching for a fight.” I’m getting vicarious trauma symptoms from what’s happening on campuses now.
And don’t forget Julian Assange. This is EMPIRE, friend. Managed increasingly by “Christian” nationalist oligarchs, who do not mean we the people well. Alito doesn’t. Thomas doesn’t. Trump doesn’t. You know this.)
