wontgobackagain.bsky.social @wontgobackagain.bsky.social · 6hSnopes: Trump did call the U.S. a "dumb, stupid country" led by a "stupid person," but he did not say "a year ago." Before making the comment, Trump clearly stated that he was talking about America "two years ago..." So, I will correct him. We were and are being led by a very stupid person now. 000

wontgobackagain.bsky.social @wontgobackagain.bsky.social · 05/10/2026When the Judiciary Act of 1869 passed, it permanently set the SC at 9 justices, there were 9 federal judicial districts in the United States. There are now 13 geographically organized circuits (First through Eleventh, plus the D.C. Circuit). At a minimum, there should be 13 justices. 100
