It’s always so obvious that Pam Bondi would rather be yelling at a waiter than doing whatever she’s doing

But he doesn't work for her. Or Trump and they should both figure that and maybe the rest of the Constitution out.

Schiff: Did Homan take the money?

Bondi: If you worked for me, you would have been fired because you were censured by congress.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

That's what Kristi Noem thought it was, too. She's like girrrrl... same.

Can you imagine being women in power like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem and having to listen to Trump's comments on their hair and makeup every meeting?

wookieetaint.bsky.social @wookieetaint.bsky.social · 7h

She runs the SS. Kristi runs the brown shirts.

There is no "left wing" in our government. There is the middle right and the extreme right.

Even Bernie and AOCs policies on healthcare and tax rates are to the right of Ike and Nixon's at this point

an interesting fact of our moment is that the only political faction who are literal reactionaries are the people who style themselves centrists, moderates. 1/

I wonder if domestic abuse and date rape rates have fallen as ICE recruits have found other hobbies.

“Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.”

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

"Fended off" is a weird take on petulant refusal to answer. All of which prompted Jake Tapper to call Biden's mental state into question.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
