“… Federal officials asked for a handwriting sample from Reyes and determined his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match.

Further, a source told CNN law enforcement reviewed jail calls made by a person they believe played a role in penning the letters. The source said the person asked about specific addresses, one of which received the letter.…”

He’ll be in El Salvador soon enough with the claim that there is no way to get him back, and fuck him anyway for being a migrant.

Quoted for those who wonder if any of these cuts have actually hurt anyone.

Pam Bondi Locks Bar Association Out Of Vetting Trump’s Judicial Nominees

America's main legal organization “no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications,” said Trump's attorney general.

I found it so unsurprising it didn’t occur to me to post it, TBH. The W. Administration also disclaimed ABA vetting of their judicial nominees claiming the ABA was too liberal.

In any event, look at who Trump just nominated to run the Office of Special Counsel and the nomination of Bove (who at least has reasonable legal qualifications even if quite a leap to nominated him to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals) and his attack yesterday on Leo Leonard and the Federalist Society vetting of Trump appointees in his first term. Clearly he isn’t taking ABA or other advice on his nominees anyway.
 
Put this in the Tariffs thread but it TOTALLY deserves wider viewing.

A bruised ego can be life threatening for narcissists.

Narcissists present a false self that Trump displays to the public...arrogance, grandiosity, self importance, belittlement of others

The projection of the false self is intended to mask and protect the true self which is vulnerable, afraid, feeling inferior to others

Your post about a "bruised ego" is on target. In the psych biz we call it sustaining a narcissistic injury. This occurs when protection of the false self has been pierced and the narcissist experiences the pain of his true self frailties
