Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.

DOGE is not really gone, it’s just been made standard operating procedure now. Please stop celebrating DOGE ‘ending’ as a ‘win.’ It’s not. Their cuts have already killed 600,000 people. Elon stole all your data. Don’t fall for the clickbait.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.
So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.
It's that Bondi is too.

Can we just savor the fact that, in these days before Thanksgiving, a federal judge threw out the cases against James Comey and Letitia James and noted that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed (making clear that Trump's the one who violated the law)?
