“Prior attorneys general dealt with serious national security issues.” Like investigating how and why classified info was disclosed to a journalist in a Signal chat. But I’m sure she’ll show zero interest in investigating that.
Do you think Trump is capable of seeing the optics of having nothing but billionaires running the country. We are going back to the founding days of mostly rich, white, men running the country. No an advance at all. Trump is reminding me a lot of George Wallace, in recreating a segregated society in the US. Trump is Jim Crow 2.0
Here is a piece I wrote on a talk by Jefferson Cowie who wrote Freedom's Dominion that I am reading right now with my book club. It is about the idea of White southerners that spread that white men have freedom when they can have dominion over others from slavery to Jim Crow. It is a view that is highly antagonistic to federal government. So Trump is just going to get rid of federal government illegally, by using Musk.
I'd suggest that Jim Crow 2.0's descendant is actually Project 2025, which also draws on right-wing, anti-labor ideas that tend to benefit corporations. What Trump has in common with Wallace is a knack for demagoguery and a particular appeal to white people, but as to the rest? Wallace grew out of a long, long white supremacist tradition. Trump doesn't really come from any tradition, but several traditions -- white racism, male misogyny, free-market capitalism, anti-federalism, etc. -- have embraced him as their leader, not because of his ideas or ideology but because they think he can take them where they want to go. The potential instability of the Trump coalition is that those traditions don't all have the same destination in mind, and some of those destinations are mutually exclusive.
Jasmine Crockett is a prime example of someone speaking truth to power. She lays it all out on the table and tells it like it is. If she can elicit the ire and threats of the bleached blond (with apologies to blonds) hussy AG, I say "you go, girl." Some time ago, during a House hearing, Ms. Crockett gave a slap down to another BBH: Marjorie Taylor (I guess she still goes by Greene after her divorce). The meek and mild Dems could learn a lot from Ms. Crockett about the tenacity and chutzpah required right now during this time of peril to our nation. Playing nice just doesn't cut it.
Your comment about Anheuser Busch being nice “that one time” rings especially true since they just announced they will no longer be a sponsor of St Louis Pride. Cowards all!!
So the Attorney General is talking about 'severe consequences' for those who commit criminal damage of Tesla property. I always thought that the Attorney General's department decided whether to prosecute people and it was judges who determined penalties... and only after a conviction which the Attorney Generals department can't guarantee. Has something happened to the American Justice system while I wasn't watching - there's been a lot going on of late. Or was the AG having another 'moment' like when she called Molotov cocktails 'weapons of mass destruction?'. Talk about the weaponization of government!
Bondi is like all the other lickspittles surrounding Trump. They all do what he wants, which includes bouying up Trump's massive ego with worshipful flattery, protecting his friends, and attacking his enemies.
This is all on John Roberts and his right-wing cohort. It's on Mitch McConnell. Our institutions failed us.
What a joke that the AG demonizes a member of the House for participating in protests against Tesla. What about the dealerships and owners of other cars...don't they deserve the same FBI protection as Tesla dealerships? The world is laughing
And who is protecting Americans and people worldwide who are already suffering because of the nonexistent “audits” of the DOGE witch hunt for alleged waste, fraud and abuse by our federal government agencies? How much waste, fraud and abuse is being committed by the members of DOGE, who are a gang of unelected, non security cleared techboys, employed by an unelected, non senate confirmed ketamine junkie fascist immigrant billionaire with billions of dollars in government contracts? How about doing your government bureaucratic job, for a change, and investigate DOGE’s “investigation”, huh?
Did Pam Bondi go to law school? Did she see replays of the attack and damages to the Capitol incited by ol' PARDENER POTUS?? Oh, Selective Enforcement and FOX NEWS toadies have their innings...for now. Sooner than later, the Americans do catch on! What a disgrace......

She got that $25,000 grant from Trump U.
Amazing, these Republican billionaires—so thin skinned, whiny … *needy* … petulant. Trump demands loud loyalty, Musk demands apologies; neither command respect.

Jasmine Crockett is such a leader! I wish her a happy and successful birthday!
DOJ, Department of Jokers.

Watching un(der)qualified Bondi's head explode when faced with a fierce woman leader like Crocket... priceless.

What a whiny little bitch Pam Bondi is!
I should feel bad for calling any woman a "bitch", and if Pam Bondi were a woman, I would. But she's proven she's just a bitch—Trump's bitch.
I’m gonna suggest, very, very quietly, that I think Ms Bondi is also a card carrying fascist who is 1,000% loyal to his majesty the t***pster.
Well she's clearly getting under their skin.

I'm curious when Mike Johnson or mtg will introduce a bill to rename the country the United States of elon?
djt never made any secret that he planned to control the DOJ for his own purposes of revenge. bondi has a history with djt.
