    So a pedophile sex trafficker runs the justice department.

    I expect a slew of resignations. Probably exactly what Trump wants anyways.

      If you get enough resignations, the department is unable to operate, because those empty roles are going to get filled with more people who are so stupid they can’t even crime correctly.

      Widespread incompetence may be our only hope.

          My perspective is that in his first term, he rewarded loyalty but also attempted to place some pieces based on merit. He learned that he needed more loyalty to do what he wanted, (Pence wouldn’t do what trunp wanted on j6), so he’s going all out loyalist this go around.

          Hopefully yall are right. They incompetence is so great they’re wildly useless. Because we’ve already seen they’re will be no consequences for their actions

    jesusfuckingchrist the “moving to Mexico” thing was a joke. Every day it becomes less of a retirement fantasy and more of a survival plan.

    I’m very curious. What do these chodes expect to happen after 2028? Depending on how bad they fuck things up, I can see a state level push for retribution and vengeance on some of these fucks. They might be somewhat untouchable while herr trump is still in office. And I’m holding out a sliver of faith in humanity that trump trying to push for a third term will be met with adequate resistance to prevent it.

      Uh, nothing bad? Just like after screw-ups doing COVID-19?

      America collectively has the attention span of a flea, and an even shorter term memory. No one even cares about what happened in 2016-2020 anymore

    Man, mandatory voting in my country was never popular, but am I glad we have it. We still elect right wing nutjobs, but compared to their American counterparts they’re positively benign.

      I’m not really sure more people voting would have kept Trump out of power. We were already getting to some extremely dumb people in the undecided category, and those were the ones that made the smallest of efforts to participate in democracy.

    Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told Punchbowl News she was “shocked” by the pick.

    She’ll end up voting for him, I guarantee it.

    No.

    Not the Onion?

    Really?

    May the women and girls of your country shun you for the rest of your days and beyond, even after the resistance maims, jails, and hangs you.
