Resign?
Pam Bondi needs to be prosecuted and arrested. She's a complicit of all the MAGA and Trump criminal activities.
Needs to resign?
Needs to be drawn and quartered, along with every member of this cabinet.
Trump gets buried alive, covered in concrete, and then chisled into an award for himself, that reads SIC SEMPER TYRANIS.
Fuck all of these goddamned traitors.
Seriously what is up with these articles? No one has turned on shit. MAGA is a bought-and-paid-for sunken cost for these people. They’re all-in. They aren’t turning on anyone!
Go ahead and check Raw Story’s “journalistic” history. It’s mostly just hopium/copium slop.
“MAGA melts down after…” “Trump furious because…” “Judge SLAMS MAGA over….”
Meanwhile, not a fucking thing is changing, progressing, being fixed, undone, or halted in any meaningful way.
We’re being sold on action that isn’t happening. It’s an insulting pacifier that ok many people have no problem sucking on every single fucking day- several times a day.
Seriously what is up with these articles?
This is our manufactured society now, as we read this bullshit, the right is reading their own versions that show Pam Bondi heroically fighting back against mean, mean Democrats, carefully edited and clipped to make her look like a Valhalla-worthy warrior.
We let too many people into positions of representation without giving a shit who they were or what they represented, and did nothing to interrupt them as they took donations from companies that want to manufacture our entire world so that they can decide what kind of shoppers they want us to be, and who we're going to be mad at (each other, they want us to hate each other so we don't hate the oligarchs and donor-class.)
They don't want you to take action for yourself. "Don't worry - someone else will take action. You don't have to. They'll deal with it. Don't think about who. Shhh. No action. Only consume..."
There are a few MAGA at least questioning if this is what "great" is.
Not enough to meaningfully dent his base, but it is enough of a start to get Gallup to stop reporting approval numbers.
Needs to be arrested, sent to a fair court of law, then jailed for all her bullshit.
As much as she infuriates us, it's still NOTHING compared to the millions of needless deaths that are occurring right now due to our ending programs like USaid.
There are people in developing nations who we could have kept fed for pennies a month, watching their toddlers die of infections and starvation because their regular aid visits were cut off, but it's okay because they get to turn on their old television and see Pam Bondi screaming about the Dow Jones and Democrats saying we need a "less radical" opposition movement.
We are being pulled in a thousand directions at once so we don't even notice how bad the situation really is. They just rolled back environmental standards for cars and companies hours ago, and that will accelerate climate changes and cause uncountable deaths in the future.
And yet they still support Trump, whose presence in the files is the exact fucking reason she lied about them…
needs a psychological makeover
A sack of shit saying shit in front of congress, much of which also houses more sacks of shit.
don't you EVER accuse me of a crime
Fuck you bitch nobody is above the law (in theory....)
Sometimes the law is wrong.
But she said all the words. Trump derangement symptom. Most transparent president ever. Stock market. Greatest president ever. It should have worked damnit! Fox just needs to cut and splice a little.
They don't have no patience for a woman. Read the room bondi. You think you get respect from a maga.
Jamie Raskin berated Bondi's earlier Senate performance before the questioning began, saying that she brought... What did he call it? A "burn book" or something?
Basically, instead of preparing for the actual questions she'd be asked, she prepared a book of insults and ad hominem for the people asking the questions.
And I couldn't help but notice that in her testimony yesterday, every time she flipped through the huge binder next to her, rather than answering the question, she'd just start attacking the person who asked the question.
So, she did the same thing again. A one trick pony who couldn't imagine that they'd prepare countermeasures for her embarrassing previous performance.
And she was caught lying under oath immediately after she did so.
Only a complete idiot would allow themselves to be put in such a situation.
She should have resigned long ago. She should have done a lot of things, but what can you expect of a complete idiot? If she's remembered at all in the future, it will be for her unparalleled stupidity.
Not only did she have a stupid "burn book" but she also brought out printed pages showing the search history of Congress members who were allowed to view the secret files, and this was photographed. They monitored, logged, and tagged the searches and documents members of Congress accessed, and she was dumb enough to hold evidence of it in front of press photographers. Now there's going to be a congressional inquiry into that too.
What good is making her resign going to do? Don't get me wrong, she should be gone, but Trump put her there and she's doing what he wants her to do. Forcing Trump to swap one stooge for another doesn't accomplish anything except resetting the "Trump's AG did something bad" counter, which might actually be useful to him but doesn't help us at all. Focus on the guy who put this obviously unqualified person in charge of the DOJ.
I believe there is a limited supply of practicing lawyers who will ruin their own lives and careers to support Trump, a man who will not ever return the favor.
To make a Pam Bondi, you need to find someone who is a completely incompetent moron who can also pass a bar exam.
I think another Bill Barr is more likely. A person who initially thinks it's a good idea to support Trump, but later defies him.
There is something to be said for the friction in bringing someone new into the role. Nobody is ever as effective in their first few weeks as they are a year into the job.
There's no way her replacement would be good, but a revolving door makes things more difficult for him.
She did exactly what trump coached her to do and even sounded like him
ever attentive to the master’s voice
SURE! yes sir, sure boss, SURE! I'll kneel now.
Wow. Being in agreement with Tim Pool, Nick Fuentes, and Kyle Rittenhouse is…uncomfortable.
It basically doesn't matter if she resigns or not. Whoever takes her place will be decided by Trump who will just want someone who will cover up the worst of the Epstein files, run cover to ICE misconduct, and never prosecute those who bribe Trump. Whether it's Bondi or not barely matters.
I love how this image is so universally known (and used lately) that the associated article doesn't even need to be mentioned.
Well, unless you wanna reach more people. It doesn't seem to have alt-text, and I also haven't seen the picture before or know who this is.
these fucking morons actually think she's anything more than a muppet doing exactly what it's told to do
Setting the precedent of holding people in power accountable is only a good thing. It's a good step, just not the last one.
doing exactly what it’s told to do
Her statement about the stock market doing well sounds like it came from the orange felon himself.
She's probably a big part of the Epstein cover up. She was there in Florida in 2011 as attorney general of the state, after Epstein's first conviction, and while his activities were still ongoing but did nothing about it.
The entire reason she has this job is because she protected epstein's clients in Florida.
Unfair to muppets!!!
I watched some of the parts and I thought she did amazingly well, in MAGA terms. There is no way she could do it better with all the facts against her.
She doged questions, she did incoherent rants, interrupted people constantly, attacked the interviewers. It was despicable, everything MAGA like. I don't see why they aren't thrilled about her. She was trump on steroids.
*DOGED questions!
It's because she's a woman
I don’t see why they aren’t thrilled about her.
Because Trump sold them the Epsteins files during his campaign. He promised to release the files and the list in full transparency. Most of the MAGA base is now invested in the Epstein files and want to see billionaire pedophiles punished. Pam Bondi acted like MAGA usually wants her to act, except this time she was acting against MAGA. She interrupted and attacked the people who asked the questions MAGA wanted answers for and instead of giving any answers she dodged the questions and wasted time on incoherent rants instead of giving the information MAGA wants. She did everything "right" but she did it against the wrong crowd.
