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?"
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....
that committee says she still needs to appear.
Also, there are blatant incompetents all over this administration
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.
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.
Aaaaannnddd....
Shes gone. BBC News - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd9gjwdw9ygt Pam Bondi out as Trump's attorney general - BBC News
The Dow is only at 46,000, you gotta go Pam.
I'm sure she can find a new career as a lot lizard somewhere on the gulf coast.
So... from professional lapses to prolapses?
THIS is the Thanks she gets for spending her ENTIRE CAREER defending Child Raping Pedophiles? TERRIBLE!
-Republican Voters!
A cushy private sector job and the ability to say fuck all about anything when she's supposed to be interviewed again less than 2 weeks from now? And gets to escape any accountability for treason?
These right wing ghouls always manage to stick around. They're like cockroaches. Look at how many of the exact same people who lied us into Iraq are still being featured in the news programs, this time selling the Iran war. Those people should have died in prison for the thousands of innocent lives they took. Instead they're still alive, free, and able to go out in public without people throwing rocks at them.
The thanks she is getting is failing upwards into a highly paid private sector job. I think she’ll be just fine
I have no idea how anyone, no matter how shitty they are, go to work for this asshole. They burn up any last shred of dignity or respect they may have had and almost all of them get thrown under the bus eventually anyway.
You have to be a special kind of terrible AND stupid to do anything for Taco.
It cannot be good for your sanity to write these several times a day my dude.
Nothing lost, and she’ll be replaced with another just like her, so nothing gained.
The snake has many heads.
The only way to defeat the hydra is with fire.
They will all be replaced, none of these clowns overthrowing the Republic will remain in their positions, they will all be replaced, one way, or backstabbing others. It's a nest of vipers.
Bondi's jail sentence could be until the DOW is back above 50 000. 🤣
The Times‘ Tyler Pager had previously reported that “President Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent days as he grows frustrated with her leadership at the Justice Department and her handling of the Epstein files” on Wednesday. “Among his top complaints is Ms. Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files, which has become a political liability for Mr. Trump among his supporters. He has also complained about her shortcomings as a communicator and vented about what he sees as the department’s lack of aggressiveness in going after his foes, according to people who have spoken to him recently.”
Well, about the only catharsis we get is watching the most awful people stab each other in the back.
Bondi should be in jail. But Trump's complaints are incredible here. They were:
So the lesson to Zeldin (and Rubio and anyone else still trying to ride the power train) is: sycophancy isn't enough. It's not enough to swear on your life that the emperor has clothes and maintain the lie even in the face of basic grade-school knowledge.
No, Zeldin will be tasked to gouge out the eyes of anyone who might be able to see it.
I wonder if she gets to keep the burn book or any of her favorite Epstein files as a memento
Not a victory, he'll just scrape the barrel deeper for the next moron.
I do think it’s somewhat a victory. These types of jobs come with a lot of process knowledge that is very important to be effective. The more turnover in these roles, the more time they have to spend getting up to speed on how things work and the less they can accomplish. The less they can accomplish, the better off the country will be. I figure (guesstimate) that it impacts department productivity by at least 10% which is better than nothing.
Next stop - prosecution.
Then once convicted, execution for treason and sedition.
No. The state should not have the power to kill its own people.
An angry mob can do the job just fine.
Maybe her husband likes wearing fake tits too
She's too old for Donald. Always was, but now his followers are cool with his pedophilia, he feels he no longer has to hide it.
She was supposed to testify again soon.
This is them fucking with congress.
That’s all.
She still ~~has~~ is supposed to on the 14th. I'm 100% sire that she'll try some bullshit and almost as certain that this feckless and toothless congress will let it slide.
~~I'll believe it when I see it~~
ok I see it
Another victim of the Dow dropping below 50,000.
Wonder which southern state will elect her governor.
If only we lived in a better timeline where she leaked the Epstein Files as revenge.
One neo-Nazi Pedo Protector gets booted out and the next one is already lining up.
Bondi probably has the goods on Trump. Firing her isn't too smart...
