Thursday, April 30, 2026

Federal judges have received more than 800 threats since Trump's rhetoric intensified -- and retired members of the judiciary are now speaking out.

"It's a war." That's what Todd Blanche told the Federalist Society a few months ago while asking lawyers to join the fight against "rogue activist judges" -- even as violent threats against judges rise. He's the last person who should lecture anyone on dangerous rhetoric.

Alito is the One who needs to "Retire".

Even Trump thinks so.

He wants a youngun in that Seat.

Like a 50 year old.

Not some 76 year old has been.

Retire Justice Alito...

For the Children.

And Jeebus.....

Judge Jeanine has no chance of being Attorney General, and Todd Blanche has even less chance. I hope he enjoys the perks of the job for the next 7+ months, before he 'returns to a job in the private sector', or 'goes to live on a farm upstate'...

When Paul Pelosi was attacked and bludgeoned with a hammer, it was immediately treated like a giant joke by the right including the Orange Chomo and his crotch fruit.

The Orange Chomo loved re-trothing photos on the back of a pickup truck of Biden kidnapped.

The Orange Chomo, when Melissa Hortman was actually assassinated by a far right nutjob said he wasn't going to call her family or attend the funeral.

When Fivehead Gates, Pete Kegbreath and others on the violent right all posted "8646" that was okay.

So you can ---- off with your delicate concerns.

nobody is going to accept that premise.

Not even when a rightwing judge receives the threats.

It will be assumed that nobody who is a self-described liberal or a registered democrat could possibly levy a death threat.

And regardless.........even if it happens, the news item here is that it's "surging" and think we can all agree that's being fueled by Trump and his followers.
