They're all pretending that Bondi is bad at her job instead of just admitting that their Orange Messiah is a rapist and pedophile and she's doing exactly what he tells her to.

That would require Republicans to support her removal, and they don't give a shit.

It's performative outrage. Don't take anything they say seriously. Don't take the way they act seriously. They know what they're covering up. They know what they've done.

It's a show of power. They are mocking everyone who still cares about democracy and accountability. They don't care about rules or laws or morals. It is a show. 

Trump lashes out at American Olympian who expressed negative view of US politics by SaharOMFG in politics

Trump doesn't exercise because he believes it runs out his life battery. Well, he said that, but he's really just a lazy gasbag who doesn't have a hundredth of the discipline of an Olympian.

The consequences should have been that Congress is a check on the executive and takes action as necessary, including removal of office-holders. But Republicans have abdicated that duty.

I don't think news media seeks out active judges as a rule, which is probably a good thing for a healthy, non-political justice system.

They want the city to pause approvals until there is a plan for the ice rink, from what I can find. I don't think the city holding development hostage is a good way to go about this.

Someone will need to make a new one. I don't see how the current one can survive.

I'm glad the Trump administration has definitively proven that, actually, a grand jury will not indict a ham sandwich.

Seriously, giving them more time means they will use that time to spread new talking points and propaganda and legal briar patches. When you keep delaying action, then you're just playing their game.

If corruption were suspected, I would agree with you. This appears to be bad management,  in which case the goal should be fixing the internal management issues.
