Get ready: Pam Bondi's confirmation hearings will be brutal. Dems will press her on:
*what she'll do when Trump orders prosecutions of enemies
*if she'll back pardon of 1/6ers who attacked cops
*Trump threat to punish media that displease him

Dems should ask Bondi whether she'll carry out his orders to prosecute enemies, support pardon of 1/6ers, and back use of state power to bully media companies.

IDK if you noticed but they don't think it's unconstitutional to prosecute your political enemies, they don't think J6ers committed crimes, and they want the "Democrat controlled" media to be bullied.
Nothing.
They can, and will lie without consequences.
Because even if fascism is a political position, it is also A CRIME.

"Dems" aren't going to handle anything, they're going to "go along to get along" like the always do. Their Oligarch patrons want them to, so they will.
Dems: *furiously sending fundraising emails*
Me: Ah, yes, I see
Look how the media let that die out.
WAR.
That is the ONLY thing that will end the constant reframing of 1/6/2021. Our fathers knew that, and we need to know it.
The kinds of people who did that insurrection need to feel real pain, the kind that lasts generations.

Or should I just cut to the chase and use the far more descriptive term "Quislings" instead?
Its the media stupid
Dems must reclaim the Media. Dems lost the media 8 years ago. The Media flourished by normalizing & promoting MAGAt messaging on lunatic rightwing media AND mainstream networks. Dems must fix this. Immediately.

And people were too busy not listening.
Just accept that this is what people voted for. They've been trying to get J6 "hostages" (prisoners) released for 4 years.
If he can’t turn that page, we will not turn the page on his criminality, fraud, rape, and treason.
It's that thing you said
The Democrats need to be searching for GOP reps that still believe in the Constitution & the rule of law.
Reps that are loyal to country not a con man.
Off into the sunset barely scathed
Prevention is the best medicine.
To make her squirm, consider asking about her genitals. That might seem unfair, but some of us face those questions every day v__v
Gaetz was an outlier, because something very, very serious indeed was in that report, which even Trump didn’t want to risk.
That’s worth doing
1. Acknowledge that they will follow even the most unlawful of Trump’s orders, thereby hurting their chances of confirmation…
OR
2. State that they will defy such orders, thereby pissing off Trump and all of MAGA
These cabinet pics are one big festering Ron distraction from the fact that Trump and his cronies are compiling a list of dissenters for later removal.
But Pam Bondie DEFENDED criminal Trump at his 1st impeachment hearing & so much more. A thousand times smarter & well-practiced than Gaetz, Bondi will make Barr look like a patriotic American.
"If you ever wonder how Jeffrey Epstein was able to walk the Earth unprosecuted and have all of his contacts sealed, look no farther than Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi is the reason Jeffrey Epstein, and all of his information is sealed in the state of Florida."
I notice Matt's wife has been kept in the background, wonder why that is?😏
The “system” was just the honor system all along, apparently.
She's dirty.
Assuming DC pols are gonna brutalize a literal swamp born creature like Bondi is a bridge over alligator infested waters.
Best defense is never to let her see the inside of that confirmation hearing.
Lying means nothing to Republicans. Absolutely nothing.
He lost an election. To his mind, that makes him a loser. He can't abide it, so he'll make sure his loss becomes a retroactive win, stolen from him from perfidious dems.
His Narcissistic brain won't let him accept what is probably the biggest loss of his life.
I expect he will also try to "officially" reverse his two impeachments.
None of that means anything to them.
The bigger question is what to do when you have the three branches of government controlled by people who want to destroy that form of government?
Lie back and think of England. Literally.
I've got a friend who is a "both sides" kind of person trying to tell me to consider the good things that could happen.
I have seen the other side. We lived through the other side. There is nothing good there.
Besides, they are Nazis. Consider that.
Republicans have the majority.
All it does is that it’ll give the media and politicians a talking point in that she lied if she doesn’t do what she said she’d do or not do.
She is a Trump loyalist. That’s it.

There are no consequences for lying under oath to congress...so just do it.
