Senate confirms Pam Bondi as US attorney general, putting Trump ally at Justice Department’s helm
The Senate has confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general. Her confirmation puts a longtime ally of Donald Trump at the helm of a Justice Department that has already been rattled by the firings of career employees seen as disloyal to the Republican president.
The vote fell almost entirely along party lines, with only Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, joining with all Republicans to pass her confirmation 54-46.
With no due respect, fuck Fetterman.
Democrats need to do better.
You're viewing a single thread.
Democrats need to do better.
Republicans need to do better. Or is this "both sides" are responsible for confirming Bondi?
This is about calling out Democrats to fucking get their shit in order and control your damn members from voting for and enabling fascist.
And no, both sides are the same, Democrats are worse when they're enabling fascist with a whimper. Grow a damn spine and actually resist.
Fetterman has effectively defected. The only recourse is to kick him out of the caucus. How does that stop Trump's agenda?
Fetterman has 4 more years to his term.
You want them to hold a gun to his head and tell him how to vote? Still doesn't stop this confirmation. May as well do the same to the Republicans.
Then kick his fucking ass out of the caucus, like you said if it changes nothing at the end of the day then so be it. Have some damn spines and put up opposition and primary the fuck out of whoever doesn't fall in god damn line.
And as for you "hold a gun up to his head" and Republicans, you really should listen to this The Daily Podcast about that. Hate the game but fucking play it.
