Trump on his SCOTUS noms: "They rule against me so much. You know why? Because the story is I haven't spoken to any of them since virtually they got in. But the story is they're my puppet...they hate that it's not good on the social circuit..."
I worry there’s some misinterpretation of the trimmed-for-clarity-and-280-characters quote I tweeted above. So here’s the full one...
Trump on his SCOTUS nominees, blaming media depictions of them for their disloyalty:
I hope it goes without saying that his “congratulations” to them were sarcastic, and his anger at their betraying his assumed loyalty was sincere. Now, though, I’d love to know if he has actually tried to reach out to Neil, Brett, and/or Amy in the past two months.

"The voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken. They've all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our Republic forever."
McConnell: "The election actually was not unusually close. Just in recent history, 1976, 2000, and 2004 were all closer than this one. The electoral college margin is almost identical to what it was in 2016."
I also wouldn’t be surprised if Biden nominates SCOCA Justice Leondra Kruger for SG to better position her for Breyer’s seat, too. It’s what Obama did with Elena Kagan and LBJ with Thurgood Marshall.
KBJ and Kruger have been the clear frontrunners for Biden's big campaign promise
McConnell’s gonna rain hell down on Trump now, and by that I mean when a reporter asks him “did Trump lose your Senate majority?” He’ll mumble, “Yes, I think that’s right,” and then everyone but Cruz, Hawley, and Tommy Tuberville will get in line and pretend Trump never happened.
Gonna be wild when the Oracle's eyebeams turn his hopes at retaining the presidency into that scorched dude in the suit of armor Atreyu has to step over
Of course, Alito could just put this PA thing out of its misery by himself at this point, with the other Circuit Justices acting alone to put out the other fires coming up from the federal cases in the other states.
