🚨 HOLY SMOKES!!!
Pam Bondi in August 2023, saying on live TV that when Donald Trump wins, he will weaponize the Department of Justice.
Matt Gaetz is irrelevant right now. We must focus on the real danger, Pam Bondi.

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

Republican efforts to facilitate the nomination of Matt Gaetz to become the most unqualified US attorney general in American history are episodes of an (ongoing) nightmarish reality television show Donald is producing. It is not theatre, however. In fact, it is about the viability of our democracy!

Signs of weakness for Trump.
1. Overplayed “mandate” - under 50%; historically small margin.
2. Senate Majority Leader vote quickly eliminated MAGA candidate. Thune won.
3. Attorney General nomination looks headed to defeat.
4. Birthright citizenship opening gambit most likely D.O.A. in court.

the distance from “i think i have this power” to “i actually have this power” is also a long one and can be contested like anything else

If Matt Gaetz is so innocent, why is the Congressional ethics report buried?
Why did he grovel for a pardon from Trump?
Why did he fight tooth and nail to block the FBI?
And why is Speaker Johnson protecting him?
What are they hiding?
The American people won’t be fooled—we deserve the truth NOW

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824.
4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20.
GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states.
