Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

She is supposed to testify about the Epstein files again on the 14th. Coincidence?
Also, there are blatant incompetents all over this administration. Notably Hegseth and Patel have both been rumored to be on the chopping block at various points. It's telling that so far only the women are being punished. And replaced with men.
the only reason the GOP employs women is to make conservative women feel like women matter to the GOP. since they're obviously planning on stealing the midterm elections, then those votes don't matter anymore, since votes don't matter anymore.
And then so many con women will be as pikachu-faced as so many trad wives are right now..."wait? all that manly toxic bullshit I've been repeating as well is going to be applied to me, too?"
I'm convinced that some people are masochists.
Because the white bobbleheaded bimbos they put into visible positions of power were intended to be scapegoats from the beginning. You don't think this administration actually thinks women should be in politics or even respected as human beings, do you? The end goal is Handmaid's Tale.
I always view most of the females in his admin as a version of Serena.
When they show the "before times"; she is the one pitching all of the crazy; turns out she ends up just like today's trad wives seem to. The leopards ate her face....
"Women" is easier to type and doesn't make you look like a chud
that committee says she still needs to appear.
Looks like Lee Zeldin will fit right in, then
She already testified once about Epstein. Didn't amount to anything.
But this time the Dow is below 50,000. By Bondi's own rules, stuff matters again.
Seriously though, while there were no consequences for the administration other than looking dumb, she made them look really fucking dumb. She would have to answer new questions about the shady and sloppy redactions, the disappearing documents specifically related to Trump, and the fact that despite the order for full release, only around half of the files were ever made available. She already demonstrated that she can't handle pressure. I think they're worried that it could go even worse the next time.
I don't know, but I somewhat suspect that she let them, or someone, know that she's going to cover her own ass over Trump's. She'll eventually be held for contempt of Congess, whether it's while Trump is in office or after (assuming there is an after). Maybe she saw the writing on the wall that there will be consequences and got the fuck out while she could. If I'm in charge, she'd still face severe consequences, but I'm not, and I wouldn't be surprised if she faces next to none now.
Didn't amount to anything? Did you not see the DOW‽

There was also Bovino who's been replaced. It's not been just women.
It may be nitpicking, but Bovino was just removed from leading the operation in Minneapolis. He kept his job and was allowed to retire. He was rumored to have been headed for retirement before the ops fuckups in MN. I'm sure that the administration hastened his timeline, but he was spared the indignity of a public firing.
I had forgotten how that went down exactly. Thank you for pointing that out.
The exception that proves the rule.
Aren't blondes his type though? You'd think he'd stack his administration with them, Luke a bunch of Karoline Leavitt / Kayleigh Mcannany clones.
Next AG pick: Tomi Lahren
If he hires people that are incompetent, his followers won't notice he's demented and also incompetent.
