The selection of right-wing podcaster Dan Bongino for a senior FBI role hammers home that President Donald Trump is eliminating the guardrails that prevented right-wing conspiracy theories becoming criminal prosecutions during his first term.

Yep and elected Republicans allowing this to happen are complicit in the dismantling of the US Government and 100's of 1000's of lost jobs. I'm mad that Democrats aren't doing more to fight this, but FAR more furious at Republicans for pretending this is all fine.
What’s it going to take for people to start calling this a coup against the constitution and rule of law.
Every day more crimes are committed, and are being normalized by a fearfully compliant press, the DOJ is going after individual judges and members of congress, and generals are being sacked.
He was at the Las Vegas concert when Stephen Paddock was shooting out the window of his hotel, killing many. Macho protector man Bongino got out of there. He had weapons in his car; did he grab them & return to fight off the assault? Did he escort even a single wounded person to safety?
Even beyond that, we better hope we have no serial killers, terrorists, or child sex-trafficking rings for 4 years, because we will not have an FBI capable of, or even willing to, investigate them.
You're being too kind. Bongo is a foul-mouthed xenophobic misogynist who enjoys drunken brawls at restaurants and betrayed his oath as a Secret Service agent with a tell-all book that his fellow agents found repugnant. A perfect addition to the Trumpler Goon Squad.
There are no serious people in his administration. It’s all a reality tv show with D list Fox News hosts. I’m hoping the rest of the world and our allies protect and distance themselves from our democracy and economic death spiral.
The only silver lining is that these individuals are stupid AF, and wholly incapable of coordinating with others, because they’re fully absorbed by their own egos.
It will absolutely have its own drawbacks, but it would take blind dumb luck for these incompetents to be successful in their goals. When we add in their completely unearned confidence, it feels like game over to me.
Sure seems that way. Only “problem” for them is they still would need to prove their charges to a reasonable doubt before a jury. Gonna be tough to do if they aren’t reality based. God bless the trial system

I mean, will they "land" the occasional plane for the "boss," or hypocritically engage in a touch of weaponization? Maybe.
But they're accountable, well, depending on midterms.

He did not.
Re read his post.
Let’s see it. Take it to court. Prove it when there are evidentiary rules.
Go knock yourself out. Put the cards on the table.
But what about you, Black folks? The orange turd and his nazi party are blatantly, in your faces, telling you to fuck off, n****.
No reaction? MLK would be ashamed of you. You threw his legacy in the toilet.
Imagine each of these positions being more abhorrent than another. Taking notes historians?
Trump is enforcing lawlessness.
