" Trump fires worst Attorney General in nation's history "

That's the title of today's lead article on Robert Hubbell's Substack blog.

My opinion differs.

I have every confidence that Trump can and probably will nominate as Attorney General someone worse than Blondie. He has a lot of incompetent, fascist, dumbasses to choose from, incluidng Judge Box Wine Pirro, whose name has already appeared as one of his candidates.

Never underestimate Trump's ability to sink deeper and deeper . . . and to take us with him.

Bill Barr hid that Donald Trump was Russian asset and had taken billions from
Russia, Russian mobsters … money laundering through his real estate …. Saudi
Arabia, and China.
John Ashcroft was a pray the gay away shit.
Alberto Gonzalos said it was OK to torture people who faught back after we invaded their country.
But Pam did take that check from the Trump Foundation for 25k to not investigate Trump University
in Florida in 2013.

What do they all have in common? They are all Republicans.

I hadn't thought of her. Bring back Bondi.
What a horrible woman. She's right down there with Judge Judy.

John Mitchell, AG under Nixon, went to jail for his role in Watergate.

Francis Biddle, AG under FDR, dismissed charges against sitting members of congress and many others who were collaborating with the Nazis during WWII.

Trump will not nominate Pirro. EPA Secretary Lee Zeldin is the front runner to replace Bondi. Zeldin would not need to be reconfirmed by the senate.
