Bombshell report alleges Stephen Miller is running the show at DOJ while Pam Bondi is playing the part ‘like an actor’
A bombshell report from The New York Times suggests that despite her title, Attorney General Pam Bondi is hardly running the show at the Department of Justice.
A bombshell report from The New York Times suggests that despite her title, Attorney General Pam Bondi is hardly running the show at the Department of Justice.
According to the Times, Bondi “sees her role as that of a surrogate, a faithful executor and high-volume messenger, compelled to cede ground to empowered players in the West Wing.”
“The decisions are being made at the White House, and then they’re being pushed down to the Department of Justice, which is very, very atypical,” observed DOJ alum Elizabeth Oyer. “It feels like she is just performing a part. She is like an actor, in a way.”
Well of course. Trump doesn't trust women, but he likes having them around as tokens to flaunt. I doubt any women under his admin are allowed any actual amount of power or control over their own departments.
This is how you get past the problem of Senate confirmation hearings when the person you want to appoint is so horrible that the process could expose things like how they're less of a Nazi sympathizer and more of an actual Nazi.
Similarly, Trump's team has repeatedly denied that Elon Musk was the head of DOGE in order to reduce the amount of congressional oversight that he receives.
Yeah, this is why they've been spamming social media(including lemmy) with the whole "Kakistocracy" thing recently.
They really want you to think the idiots are in charge, that way you don't try to dig deeper as the idiots chop off everything they see and some parts they're told. Just look at the Librarian of Congress thing. People were making jokes about librarians, meanwhile she was basically in charge of defining DMCA and digital copyright.
Am I surprised a Stasi looking pedophile is in charge? Nope.
Am I surprised a bottle blonde Barbie bobblehead is a token figurehead? Nope.
She's too busy delivering 747s from her "former" bosses to her "current" boss to be bothered with much else.
OBVIOUSLY, she was the conduit for this entire deal. Qatar had already paid her a fortune for her lobbying services, she would have been the first phone call they made to set up the deal.
The guy even looks like a henchman. Wtf.
He's 100% the image of the violent overseer that cracks his whip across the backs of slaves with a smug sickly sneer on his ugly face in a movie. The one that everyone cheers for when his victims get their justice against him, slashing him with his own whip a dozen times before choking him out with it. Let us hope he receives his deserved comeuppance in real life as well.
Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller
hes also the guy that DYED his scalp to make it look like he has a youthful amount of hair.
"bombshell!! Trump slammed by liberal party!!" bombshell my fucking nuts, when are y'all going to actually do something about it though? I'm so fucking tired of these stupid "bombshell" and "liberals slam" headlines while the media plays softball with this admin as if they aren't burning the nation to the ground.
“It was clear from the start that Mr. Miller, who is not a lawyer, would exercise control inside the department, current and former Trump aides said,” observed the Gray Lady.
Who the fuck is Gray Lady?
That's a nickname for the NYT. Supposedly a reference to how old fashioned and circumspect it is, but as a compliment?
Mayor of Bowerstone
I could read a similar report for almost any cabinet post, or more likely multiple cabinet posts, and I wouldn’t bat an eye. I would almost assume this is happening in most cases to some degree.
Most of these secretaries are picked for their willingness and ability to absorb what passes for tough questions in congressional hearings while the real power like Hobgoblin here make the decisions.
Duh? You don't think a Fox News host is actually running the DOD either right? Or Naomi DHS?
This has been transparent from the start.
Been transparent that this is how the GOP governs since they had an actor with dementia play “President” in the 80s.
All these Germans
