    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.

      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…

      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?”

        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.

        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.

      Aren’t blondes his type though? You’d think he’d stack his administration with them, Luke a bunch of Karoline Leavitt / Kayleigh Mcannany clones.
