If he had worn a pussy hat on the bench he’d have been promoted.

Should have given him a pay raise for being so brave in leftist Canada. He literally risked his life.

If all it said was “MAGA” on it and the guy was from Canada he might not even have known. Not everyone follows U.S. acronmyns.

If he was wearing a religion of peace hat, or an Obama hat, he would have gotten a pay raise.

I can think of situations when it would be improper for a judge to display outward support for *any* politician,*any* political Party.Don't know if this incident qualifies.

Who makes those, and what do they represent in terms of political stances? I would not like to see them appropriated by those of Trudeau’s ilk.
