Continuing the long tradition of not seeing any of the dumb shit Trump says

(He saw it. 100%)
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
Sounds good to me.
Mike Johnson: "Imagine a scenario where they were in charge and they didn't have the filibuster. We would have nationalized elections, they would infringe on our 2A rights, they'd pack the Supreme Court, and they'd make Puerto Rico and DC states."

Who could have guessed this could ever happen? He was so staid and dignified during his confirmation hearings.
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

This is so embarrassing for them
Defense is now blaming the plaintiffs for "switching of exhibits and moving exhibits around."

Judge Immergut: "The whole point of a stipulation is that it's already in evidence. I don't have an independent obligation to exclude something you stipulated to."
