What this clearly demonstrates is how easily Trump is manipulated.
Trump says he knows the people who sought the pardon for Juan Orlando Hernandez but not him.
They asked & he did it.
WHO are those people? Putin? Viktor Orbán? A coked-up Don Jr who needs his main cocaine supplier back in business?

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

This is so utterly demeaning to women who are not able to breast-feed. What a monster he is.
Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding.
It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

So now MTG is worried that Trump's hateful rhetoric can incite violence. I'm sorry she and her son have been threatened. But Trump has been doing this to others for years, and it apparently never bothered MTG. It's very MAGA to only care about stochastic terrorism when you're the target.
The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?
Huh.

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.
