But his most recently tweeted meme, which questioned the patriotism of Democrat congresswomen at the State of the Union for not wearing flag pins, quickly faced backlash on Twitter, all because of a telling photo. > > One observant Twitter user promptly tweeted a picture in response—taken by Trump’s own brother, Eric—showing the Trump children and their partners also at the State of the Union. None of them wore an American flag pin to the event. The internet revelled in Trump Jr.’s hubris. As Jimmy Kimmel said (IIRC), the apples don’t fall far from the orange tree. ---

Talk about perverse incentives if you could forum-shop by insulting or threatening judges until you got one you liked. No, you can’t make a judge recuse by doing this - but you _can_ earn yourself some additional charges or get your bail revoked. ---

The same stunt Trump pulled in 2016 with the Trump U case. It didn’t work then either.
