My favorite part is the implication that we've been wasting all this time confirming US attys when the AG can unilaterally "authorize" actions taken by rando attys who were never lawfully im the job.

Not just time travel, but the purported ability to bless off on actions by people who weren't properly appointed, rendering the entire process of Senate confirmation pointless.

there are two ways to solve political division: (1) concede so much that you are functionally the same or (2) fight until you win. the republicans have clearly chosen the second path - and it only gets easier for them if the democrats follow ezra's advice to choose the first.

Moreover, if Bondi could simply "approve" (retroactively or otherwise) the actions of people who haven't been properly appointed, there would be no point to the confirmation process.

If Bondi had that power, that would render the entire process of nominating U.S. Attorneys a complete waste of time.

"I've been very busy monitoring my son's porn account. You ought see some of the dark web shit this kid posts."

I'm sure all of the jurors will be very excited that the prosecutors made them take off work for this.

Just out of curiosity, what's the maximum effective range of a hoagie ?

By the way if Platner was serious about his duty to the country and not just in it for the power, he'd have already stepped down. Republicans are gonna run "see they have Nazis too" ads in the general and he knows it and his team knows it but they don't care.

Or both. The follow up should always be question after question about why he wants them to believe that he's always the least informed person in the room.

"We'd be treating Puerto Ricans as if they were people!"

I'm curious who these media sources think this is influencing.

Who do they think is on-the-fence about Mamdani but will vote Cuomo for fear of assholes leaving town in a snit ?

The power move mispronunciation really backfires when: 1) it's an easily-pronouncible name, so you look like an idiot; and 2) you're losing to him, so you look wildly out of touch.

We'll hear that it didn't happen bc that's not something he'd ever do.

I admire what he's doing, but why does Kool-Aid man not simply burst through the whole of the facility ?

If you hate trans people there's a party for that.

Putting morality aside, the only pragmatic move by Dems is to make the case that hating trans people is bad. Which isn't a hard case to make if you try.

When there is zero possibility of changing the image of your candidate from being a POS, all you're left w is arguing that a POS is what the voters should want.

There are wealthy litigators who keep a handful of untailored cheap suits in their closet for when they try cases in blue collar venues.

Putting aside his shitty suits, Trump has never been one to downplay wealth. However much he has, his instinct is always to show it off as much as possible.

And there are many, many white EBT users who will blame the liss of their "necessary" aid on those devious Black people abusing the system and forcing the GOP to take it away from everyone.

It's always been a collection of barely-masked bigots who more-and-more are realizing there's no consequence for being a bigot.

But we shouldn't shame them for being bigots -- hell, we should nominate our own. That'll discourage them!

They don't actually give a shit about the Founders.

It's just a con to justify why they're doing stuff that nobody today wants them to do.

I'm managing someone for the first time since the Army.

I strongly believe that negative reinforcement -- especially publicly -- is rarely productive. She wants to be good at her job, so I work w her on her mistakes and loudly praise her successes.

BC I'm selfish and want the best out of her.

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward?

And "ransack" ?

If an impoverished mother told me she was going to shoplift formula for her kid, I'd offer to be a distraction.

But of course FOX lets us know that poor Black people plan to go feral.

Fucking bigots.

Why does not one ever realize what a terrible idea this is.

We don't have enough air traffic controllers for planes, but George Jetson can be trusted to eyeball it?

They start off every shutdown bragging that they're going to cause a shutdown and it'll be a tool they delight on and are always surprised that people attribute the shutdown to them.

Steven Seagal This episode snuck right up on you, didn't it?

That's one reason I've never been a fan of the expensive cowboy costume look.

If you want to wear an Armani suit, then go ahead, but don't pretend that the cowboy version of the same thing gives you blue collar cred.
