I'm sorry, not this DOJ! This is a Justice Dept of our own making. America is now a lawless country (Banana Republic) ran by a felon who has reduced Republicans to the cucks they are. The world watches in horror!
Why do you think they’ll investigate instead of sending these people directly to GITMO like the migrants who haven’t been granted any due process. What if they just execute enemies on live tv?
These people are not going to be stopped by words on paper. They control every federal agency and governmental branch. They're going to have to be physically removed.
If they are using 1st Amendment Speech as a guideline, there will be a long list of investigations. I should be receiving one any day now...or several 🙃
Those guidelines no longer matter to the current AG because her cult leader told her they don't. There are no more "norms", no more standards, no more guardrails.
OhLook another lawyer telling you not to worry, He can't really do what he is doing in front of your face.I also believed the law and The Constitution would stop FOTUS. Then it was proven to me, Judges who are after all JUST people. Can say the law means whatever they want or ignore it totally
She most certainly did NOT tell anyone not to worry. She is highlighting important details keeping up the barrage of legal artillery on this lawlessness.
We can’t effectively organize or make short- and long-term plans if we’re snapping at each other. There will be an After; we can’t forget that.
These people demonstrably don't care about longstanding department guidelines, policies or even the Constitution for that matter. With Trash Patel at the helm, the days of predicated investigations may be over.
You're talking constitutionally. That's been thrown out. This is no longer a constitutional republic. We're quickly turning into an authoritarian regime which consists of a kakistocracy.
My guess is that Bondi’s take, with a nod and a wink from tRump, is going to be “Guidelines schmidelines. The executioner…eh, executive branch, does what it needs to.”
@asharangappa.bsky.social What are the practical implications of the Trump EO stating that only he and the AG can interpret the legality of something (within the Executive Branch, obviously)?
Are there enough FBI agents willing to use the law to harass political opponents? I’d expect a mass walk out. I suppose I’ll be disappointed. And also horrified.
They clearly wish to ignore the plain wording of the Constitution and multiple federal laws so what makes you think they'll pay any attention to "guidelines?"
"Attorney General Guidelines"? Seriously? I feel so much better now knowing that lawless fascists who are starving babies in Africa while destroying lives here so they can install a permanent dictatorship will be stopped cold by the "Attorney General Guidelines".
So a private citizen shouldn’t have been arrested for expressing a view about a government “employee” or other private citizen acting on behalf of the government as an agent of said government?
Omg I want to cry. How am I supposed to live w ppl that voted for this sack of shit? Like I guess I love my bf enough to see his family twice a year. But Jesus christ what is wrong with these ppl?
We cut off all contact with my hardcore MAGA FIL. Refers to his patriotic sons, who are 46 & 47, as "the enemy." A vile human being if there ever was one. I don't know how you even manage to see your bf's family twice a year...🤪.
wow, that made my cry, in part because i've seen this said enough to know that it is happening to many of us, in part because i've had to do the same in my personal life; hey, send love; nothing about this is cool, or acceptable
In a normal administration, this would matter. First Congress, then the Judiciary, and now the Executive branch are all in alignment. Whatever doesn't burn down gets blown up
Interesting. But if that is the case, why do so many people who post about violence towards elected officials (esp. a sitting POTUS) get visits from the FBI?
Is that not an investigation?
I'm not saying posting stuff like that should be OK. Just interested in how that works or what protocol is.
Why do they even bother having Senate confirmations of ANY of Trumps nominees? The MAGA morons are all getting confirmed regardless of qualifications, character, lies under oath, ethics, etc.
Republicans are absolutely useless to the American people.
They are not cowards, nor are they useless. They are a grave threat to our democracy, our country, and our safety. They are fascists and if we get out of this, they should be tried for the betrayal of our country they are committing.

Pretty sure those get ignored without consequence
You think that 'guidelines' matter!

Pam Bondi, but not in writing
And yet, here we are.
I have followed you since the early days of Covid on Twitter…happy to have your insight!
The goalposts are fixed squarely at what they can get away with, and whether anyone can stop them.
Yet, here we are.
Asking for all my fellow dissenters
