MAGA influencers and GOP party members turned on Pam Bondi after the Attorney General's embarrassing congressional appearance. Bondi, who Trump appointed on February 5, 2025, has been criticized by MAGA voters and spokespeople after her display at the Senate hearing over Jeffrey Epstein's files. The...
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.
I suppose that’s true but it does seem like it would be more effective to spend the effort tying her failures directly to Trump rather than letting him offer her up as the sacrificial lamb. People seem to think he’s good at delegation and “business stuff” so hammer him with the mistakes his people make and force voters to remember how highly he once spoke of them.
At this point, who are we trying to convince? Nobody who’s still defending the guy is going to change their mind no matter the logic you use towards them.
I’m fully in support of “throw wrenches in their attempts to do things” instead.
