    He insulted Supreme Court judges? Holy shit, doesn’t the US have a Contempt of Court law or something? I haven’t seen something this deranged in my entire life that wasn’t in a history textbook.

      He’s been mocking them almost daily. The White House posted this a couple days ago. The meeting with the El Salvador dictator was also mocking the Supreme Court.

        This is the shit the behaviourally challenged adolescent boys in my kids middle school would contrive.

        Aim high, USA.

        Well, I’ve blocked US political stuff, so I didn’t see this. Unbelievably petty. In India, while the country is definitely fascist, it would still be very difficult to mock the court so provocatively – even criticising SC decisions is rare, because the courts are still relatively powerful. Though I think in the US the executive appoints judges. Then it’s not surprising at all.

          If you read about Indian constitution, this is extremely well designed. So even a fascist government is limited in what it can do.
