But, for what goal, though? I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious. It made Putin look weak and it really seemed like he and this crony cabinet were on the run. It's not like Putin squashed down the rebellion in a show of force - instead, Wagner said "yeah, it's all good, imma turn around now and peace out to Belarus. Lates".

I don't see how Thomas could possibly care. He knows that he and that wife of his are untouchable given that there is no oversight over the SCOTUS. Alito, too. Conservatives would never let them get even close to impeachment and Thomas has proclaimed that is only goal is to make liberal lives hell for his remainder of days.

It's surprising just how quickly the tables the conservative justices have been able to strike down existing law/precedent. I wonder if democracy will even exist in 10-20 years.

This whole story is beyond weird. None of it makes any sense - a fast moving coup against an established government, an abrupt about face, and then exile into a neighboring country - only to come back "home" to pick up your prized pistol and a few other things. Oh, and also to meet up the leader you tried to overthrow.
