She sounds so well-informed, so obviously up to date with events that might be pertinent to the role. What could be wrong with a blinkered one-sided skewed view of justice being in charge?
Every job interview is about hypotheticals. Imagine applying for a job and when they ask you how you would respond to situation X you said “I won’t respond to hypotheticals.” You’d be shown the door swiftly.
She is a fraud, so is Wolf Blitzer he’s trying to give Trump credit. I’m sitting here watching him and it’s incredible, trumps not even in office. Wait until Trump gets an office then give him credit lol do you think Wolf Blitzer is J
Wait, so the incoming Attorney General candidate FAILED to reassure the Senate and indeed the Nation that the Department of Justice's authority will not be used for politics on behalf of the President? Did I get it right?
Reminder: The AG is not the President's lawyer, they're the Country's lawyer.
As a NC resident, I am very pleased with Sen. Tillis’ comment, but as usual, watch what they do, not what they say. NC senators, please vote NO to confirming the trash that has been offered up to lead this country.
Because she knows she can get away with it. Republicans are going to confirm her no matter what. It’s a disgrace. And the American people did this. Both those that voted for Trump and those that stayed home.
When the Fanta Fuhrer has in fact said that's what he would do, then it's no longer a hypothetical. Bondi appears to be a Madge Greene with a law degree.
We need to remember with a three seat majority, some Republican Senators in purple states are going to get a pre-approved pass on some votes. We can’t read too much into anything on its own.
The R's standard issue non-reply to a question..."I'm not familiar with that." Do you live under a rock? You're the nominee for top cop of the US. Why aren't you familiar with that?
How could she have “never heard that quote” when trump, to this day, it is still saying Jack Smith and the J6 committee should be arrested for treason. I have a dark heart and I don’t like it.
The Republican nominees so far seem spectacularly uninformed and unprepared. They are unaware of the duties they're nominated for, know nothing about the environment surrounding their departments, and have never heard or read anything Trump has said or any reporting about anything.
He introduced a bill that will make concealed carry laws the same across states, because...guns
What happened to 'let the states decide'?
Oh, right, that only applies to women's health decisions
Like VP Trump, Bondi’s response when cornered by the facts is always going to be that she isn’t aware of them, hasn’t had a chance to examine them, has been incredibly busy…💩
These people I will change our voting system so that they never leave office. I think the main focus we should be thinking about is 2026 because these people are not planning on ever leaving.
I have an itchy feeling some Republican lawmakers are running out of f*cks to give. They supported Trump in his first presidency to cash in while they could. Now they understand he's out to burn anyone, anywhere, anytime & he's not going away anytime soon.
Tillis is also up for reelection in the reddish-purple state of NC in 2026. I know myself and other constituents have been calling him A LOT over these noms. Now, he’ll definitely vote to confirm bc he’s a ninny, but he’ll at least gesture toward competence more often.
This statement was posted by Mother Jones:
"At her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Pam Bondi probably assured she will become attorney general. She did that, however, by pretending to be an idiot."
She accepted a bribe to get Trump off the hook in Florida. There was a time when criminal activity got you sent to jail. Now it makes you the president or Attorney General.
I think the GOP needs to dig deep and find their balls. Whatever they are hiding can’t be as bad as what will happen if they allow Trump/musk to have their way on everything.
He has only run for re-election once and it was the most expensive senate race in the country. He ran against an unimpressive white guy who sent sleazy text messages to someone who was not his wife (you can only do this if you are republican fyi)
Thom was the first test candidate for Cambridge Analytica, the company who used stolen FB information to create and send political ads to... Even one of CA's foreign employees says he worked out of Tillis' campaign office in NC. No quorum on the federal elections commission, so no investigation.
My first thought! It's ingrained in folks from their earliest days to vote Republican and never see if the other side may be more true to who they are. They don't research at all and just walk in and circle that R without a second thought. Lazy!
That is their line . I won’t answer hypotheticals and it was an anonymous smear . There was a right answer for all of there questions but they are afraid to tell the truth. This country is screwed.
Come on that dumb💩....says some kinda funny 💩 when he's mad. Thinking about setting up another "sock puppet" over on "Truth" just to piss off the sycophants.🤣🤣🤣
I don’t believe any Republican called to testify before Congress anymore. How would you ever expect any Republican to tell the truth under oath when almost all of them have betrayed their oaths in the past or at the very least shown no compunctions about lying when convenient?!
Bondi seems to have sussed out that, kind of like with SCOTUS confirmation, they can just say aren’t going to do the thing to congress and then once they’re in power do the thing.
So she’s going to be AG yet claims to be woefully ignorant when it comes to all the significant illegal events that transpired on January 6th? She’s either unqualified or an unqualified liar.
I wish I heard one dem push back on the hypothetical claims. I would love to hear of a person hired who told the interviewer the same. Those ?'s are often the meat of an interview. I call bull$#%& on Hegseth and Bondi. I wish others had done this more.
We know what this MAGA fellating idiot is going to do stop asking questions that we already know the answer to. Ask her if she thinks the Epstein files should be released. Show her Trump's tweet about suspending the Constitution. Make this half wit squirm.
When I look at Hegseth, I believe his function is to be trump's fall guy for when the shit hits the fan and we are unable to defend ourselves from an attack, he's gonna be a real easy stooge to blame.
Bondi's function is to protect trump under every circumstance... Cannon to the SC? useful.
She wouldn't answer because she knows it's wrong. She knows that what happened on January 6th was an insurrection. Those people were traitors and so is the 🍊 man and anyone else who's drinking his Kool-Aid we have Jim Jones on display here people wake the f******
If Bondi is not familiar with Trump’s statements regarding Jan. 6 patriots and hostages she is obviously residing under a rock. Also, her’s are non answers. These are not hypotheticals. She is more of the same smoke
Why do these people claim they’ve never heard theses quotes that have been all over social media and on the news. They are either lying, out of touch with reality, or living in a vacuum. In any case this just show how unqualified they are.
Just like the Supreme Court’s technique.
Answer the Roe question with a free-floating statement like “It’s settled law,” which disguises the intent to overturn it.
"Why are you unaware of what the president-elect has said about your job? This is going to be your boss and knowing his opinion is very important to your ability to perform it."
Its funny, Thom is like the hypothetical broken clock and is only right about twice a day. He'll say things like this and still vote down the party line. Nothing to see here.
Hegseth & Bondi can shove that "hypotheticals" answer up their azzholes. Someone needs to respond that by NOT answering the question you're proving they'll take the most convenient, politically expedient, and obsequious action available.
They are all ignorant of what is going on in the world. They know nothing, not familiar with quotes repeated millions of time on every social media platforms.. they must all think we are dumb..
As a student of history, especially the politics and events of the 1930’s and 1940’s in Europe I can attest to the fact that the maga party operates like the Nazi party. A lot like the Nazi party. The similarities are really extraordinary. Questioning the Führer is not allowed.
If she's not familiar with the 'hostages and patriots' statement, then what the hell IS she familiar with? If she's that uninformed, she doesn't need to be the AG.

This is just shy of "I cannot comment on an active investigation here."
tRUMP does pardon the violent offenders??
She belongs in jail!
The questions she answered posed by the Republicans were all hypothetical. Am I wrong?
He introduced a bill that will make concealed carry laws the same across states, because...guns
What happened to 'let the states decide'?
Oh, right, that only applies to women's health decisions
That is their plan
"At her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Pam Bondi probably assured she will become attorney general. She did that, however, by pretending to be an idiot."
But . . . will they BE
“Hypotheticals” . . .
after she gets the job?
Just tell the truth!
"Do you think Person A did X?" Seems pretty straightforward.
As AG, you have to commit yourself to taking a position. If you can't, you don't belong in the position.
I sure hope elected Democrats have a concrete plan and I hope organizers arise with a plan too.
Will we shut down the economy? Work stoppage? Stop purchasing? What?
Maybe we need some South Korean mentors.

Just say "I don't recall."
He'll be dealt with.

It can’t be ALL bad, can it?
“Not familiar. . .”
“Hypotheticals. . .”

Witness: How should I handle this thing I'm absolutely going to be asked about?
Counsel: Just say you don't recall.
