Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

Remember when we could joke about “Friday news dumps” because they were the exception? Weekends, one more thing the Republicans were looking to destroy as they ushered Lord Smallgloves into office…
Trump’s so lazy a fascist that he didn’t bother to put together a mass movement to kill judges. He wants others to do it for him.

Trump has been briefed on what Russia has for kompromat on him, and that the IC *knows.*
Not shocking he's obsessed with judges right now. https://t.co/VtgDukCijx
