A bombshell report from The New York Times suggests that despite her title, Attorney General Pam Bondi is hardly running the show at the Department of Justice.
According to the Times, Bondi “sees her role as that of a surrogate, a faithful executor and high-volume messenger, compelled to cede ground to empowered players in the West Wing.”
“The decisions are being made at the White House, and then they’re being pushed down to the Department of Justice, which is very, very atypical,” observed DOJ alum Elizabeth Oyer. “It feels like she is just performing a part. She is like an actor, in a way.”
Yeah, this is why they’ve been spamming social media(including lemmy) with the whole “Kakistocracy” thing recently.
They really want you to think the idiots are in charge, that way you don’t try to dig deeper as the idiots chop off everything they see and some parts they’re told. Just look at the Librarian of Congress thing. People were making jokes about librarians, meanwhile she was basically in charge of defining DMCA and digital copyright.
I mean, the idiots are in charge. There’s too many stupid goddamn things piling up for them all to be some 4d chess maneuvers.
Just because they’re idiots doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous. That’s what the playbook is for - to keep the idiots on track and doing all the horrible things they’re paid to do. Then, if the plan fails, the idiots take the fall and the playbook authors just try again.
