      She still has is supposed to on the 14th. I’m 100% sire that she’ll try some bullshit and almost as certain that this feckless and toothless congress will let it slide.

        It would be hilarious if she turns on Trump after being fired, but then she’d be admitting she lied in the first place. Plus she probably is a bit too cowardly to do it anyway.

    I really hate the media reports of “Trump was upset of her handling of the Epstein files” as a reason.

      Her Congressional testimony was weeks ago, Trump doesn’t even remember that.

      Yesterday, Trump had to watch his best prosecutor getting grilled by Gorsuch, who asked if Native Americans would be considered birthright citizens, and after some hemming and hawing, and offering up some very weak comebacks, the MAGA lawyer said he’d “have to give it some thought.”

      Shouldn’t he have done that BEFORE appearing in front of SCOTUS? He didn’t anticipate a question about Native American citizenship?

      The day before, Trump had claimed that Birthright Citizenship was ONLY about giving citizenship to the black babies of black slaves (someone’s been talking to PeeWee Himmler) even though they aren’t mentioned at all in the actual text:

      All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

      Even Alito was questioning whether it was composed to cover only those they were thinking of at the time, or everyone into the future, and since it doesn’t mention slaves at all, the answer seems pretty obvious. If they wanted it to ONLY cover Slaves, they would have explicitly said so, and not completely ignored any language at all that would make it clear, relying on future Supreme Court justices to rely on trying to read the minds and intentions of long dead legislators.

      Even between dozes, a dolt like Trump could see how poorly prepared they were to present his most important electoral issue to SCOTUS. Of course they were awful, the entire administration is virtuosically incompetent. He was hoping to intimidate the justices, but even Alito didn’t seem to be on his side.

      After, he and Bondi must have talked about it, and he hates confrontation except for media women, so he probably said everything was okay, judging by the chummy photos they took together. But when he got back to the White House, they probably let him know how bad it was, and he realized that it was as worse than he thought.

      He watched his most important initiative tank, and he blamed her.

      People are saying he’ll fire Hegseth next, but he never will. When the time comes, Hegseth will enthusiastically order his troops to fire on American citizens. He’d even launch a nuke, if Trump wanted it. That kind of psychotic loyalty is too valuable for a Dictator to squander.

    She is supposed to testify about the Epstein files again on the 14th. Coincidence?

    Also, there are blatant incompetents all over this administration. Notably Hegseth and Patel have both been rumored to be on the chopping block at various points. It’s telling that so far only the women are being punished. And replaced with men.

      the only reason the GOP employs women is to make conservative women feel like women matter to the GOP. since they’re obviously planning on stealing the midterm elections, then those votes don’t matter anymore, since votes don’t matter anymore.

      Because the white bobbleheaded bimbos they put into visible positions of power were intended to be scapegoats from the beginning. You don’t think this administration actually thinks women should be in politics or even respected as human beings, do you? The end goal is Handmaid’s Tale.

        I always view most of the females in his admin as a version of Serena.

        When they show the “before times”; she is the one pitching all of the crazy; turns out she ends up just like today’s trad wives seem to. The leopards ate her face…

        It may be nitpicking, but Bovino was just removed from leading the operation in Minneapolis. He kept his job and was allowed to retire. He was rumored to have been headed for retirement before the ops fuckups in MN. I’m sure that the administration hastened his timeline, but he was spared the indignity of a public firing.

        But this time the Dow is below 50,000. By Bondi’s own rules, stuff matters again.

        Seriously though, while there were no consequences for the administration other than looking dumb, she made them look really fucking dumb. She would have to answer new questions about the shady and sloppy redactions, the disappearing documents specifically related to Trump, and the fact that despite the order for full release, only around half of the files were ever made available. She already demonstrated that she can’t handle pressure. I think they’re worried that it could go even worse the next time.

          I don’t know, but I somewhat suspect that she let them, or someone, know that she’s going to cover her own ass over Trump’s. She’ll eventually be held for contempt of Congess, whether it’s while Trump is in office or after (assuming there is an after). Maybe she saw the writing on the wall that there will be consequences and got the fuck out while she could. If I’m in charge, she’d still face severe consequences, but I’m not, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she faces next to none now.

        These right wing ghouls always manage to stick around. They’re like cockroaches. Look at how many of the exact same people who lied us into Iraq are still being featured in the news programs, this time selling the Iran war. Those people should have died in prison for the thousands of innocent lives they took. Instead they’re still alive, free, and able to go out in public without people throwing rocks at them.

      And if so it would be a real shame if any of that were to leak. I mean it would serve him right for removing such an obviously competent and loyal AG.
