One of the Trump administration’s newest immigration judges said that some women are just a “warm, wet hole.”

Melissa Isaak, an Army veteran and reservist, was hired by the Justice Department on April 8 as a temporary immigration judge. She was permitted to begin hearing cases immediately, according to an announcement from the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

    This headline suggested to me that the judge said this in her new capacity as a judge. That’s not the case, this is a statement she made in a different context years ago.

    Which doesn’t make it normal or cool.

      Literally worse. She got promoted after this.

      Lol people get fired for being 5 minutes late to work. Honestly the fact we don’t revolt over that fact alone is everything wrong with us.

      How are lawyers not winning every case with “well precedent in this country is no crime is prosecuted as proven by POTUS. This crime is not worse than child rape and treason. So therefore my client should not be punished worse than a child rapist and traitor. That’s my argument your honor.”

      This is the kind of talk you’d expect on a shock comedy podcast where actual comedians are deliberately crossing boundaries and it’s fairly clear they aren’t being sincere. And even in that highly specific context it’s still iffy.
