Roberts was always a dick though. Remember the 12yo girl handcuffed and arrested for eating a single french fry on the metro? (He upheld while a DC circuit judge)
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.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?
TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

It rarely gets commented on, but Trump's constant, unprompted, never-ending slander of Biden and Obama, in response to basically any topic, is so gross.

"At some point, I had made more money that I could ever spend and I realized it was time to start a new chapter in my life and I knew with all this money came an enormous platform and I could use that to promote bigotry."
I want to hear about some tech dudes who said one billion is plenty enough and dropped out to enjoy it instead of going grindset on making the world measurably worse for everyone but fellow billionaires.

Everyone around me irl keep dropping in the fact that they use AI in every day life and work and it makes me feel like I’m going crazy especially when I push back and ask if it’s worth the consequences and the response is always, in the end, no 🫠 And yet this is just the average person now!

It's worse, we'd have health influencers and RFK pushing lead paint and asbestos as a miracle cure.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.
Bring back residential-use lead paint, you cowards.

The ICJ case on Gaza genocide, also probably just tiktok, amirite?
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Hegseth: I watch that first strike live. At the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do so I did not stick around. Couple of hours later, I learned that commander had made -- which he had the complete authority to do, he made the correct decision to sink the boat and eliminated the threat.
