Donald Trump made clear on Saturday evening that he is frustrated with his attorney general over her hesitance to bring politically-motivated criminal cases against a list of the president’s enemies, something the White House has been working to engineer on flimsy pretenses for months.

The president issued a Truth Social post on Saturday addressed to Pam Bondi, the U.S. attorney general, stating that he’d reviewed numerous reports from the Department of Justice apparently stating that no progress was being made on launching the prosecutions after criminal referrals were sent to Bondi’s team by William Pulte, an official at the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

In the post, which began “Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done,’” Trump assumes the guilt of Sen. Adam Schiff and others like Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, and demands that Bondi begin criminal prosecutions without “delay.”

      Uh oh, you just insulted the memory of Charlie Kirk. The secret service is on their way now because free speech is dead and this is what the U.S. voted for.

          The type of non-violent protestation we see in a single European city in all the major US cities at once tied to a general strike.

          We need to be in the public space en masse little to no violence and just sit the fuck down and refuse to participate in the economy while being in the public space.

          Just sit down and say, “I would prefer not to until things change.”

          We are. It’s not enough, we need more people. That’s why we’re still talking about it. Fuck out of here with this shit.

    Well you see, he got away with this his entire life.

    Pedo narcissist Trump really thinks he never did anything wrong & the DoJ going after him was politically motivated. He cannot fathom why his DoJ isn’t doing the same thing.

      I don’t think that’s true, I think it’s written so that everyone that works for him and his messaging followers can get on the same page. It’s a lazy man’s proclamation.

    See, the problem with prosecuting people who follow the law is that they follow the law. So, she won’t find anything to charge them with, Trump will throw a tantrum and fire her, then replace her with another dizzy blonde with big b**bs.

        Sure, you can invent all the crimes you want but in a court of law you have to show the judge the exact law that says hurting Trump’s childish, rodentine feelings is crime.

            Trump only controls the courts at the federal level. Lower courts tell him to fark off regularly. The only thing Trump can do in response to that is appeal, appeal, appeal all the way up to the Supreme Court.

            He’s an expert at wasting everyone’s time but not so much in winning cases with established precedent. And the Supreme Court doesn’t have the time or the desire to hear all of Trump’s bullshiat cases.

      No, cause tRump is a coward. He relies on his hateful band of red-hat dipshits to pressure his allies and threaten his enemies. He did this so they would do the dirty work and he can claim plausible deniability.

    It’s gonna be a wild ride of justice if AOC-style democrats ever get this kind of power. I just cannot believe that a party that has held 50% (±5) of the power for centuries can lose all of it. That kinda base doesn’t just go away unless somebody actually destroys it.

      It’s gone too far.

      There’s no way to jail the fascists, they’ll try their case in public and foment violence. You can’t leave the fascists unpunished, because they’ll continue to corrupt, lie, propagandize, and block everything. It’s like the Civil War, if they’d jailed or executed those that had rebelled it would probably be a much different country today.

      There’s only one way to get rid of fascists.

    The interesting thing about narcissists is that they don’t know what they are. The world is a very hostile and confusing place for someone who has something like dementia or narcissism. We shouldn’t lose our humanity and compassion for anybody but we can’t have this. At the very least it’s obviously unsustainable to have mental orange grandpa and his handpicked stooges at the helm. It’s not a question of if but when this regime collapses under its own weight of bullshit.

        No compassion for fascism but every fascist was once a small child, seeking love and attention. They didn’t deserve to be mistreated but they eventually became a monstrous person that we now have to defend against without also losing our own humanity in the process.
