Finally, an Attorney General with first-hand criminal law experience.
#Politics #MattGaetz

Washington insiders are stunned by Trump’s unusual pick for A.G. of Matt Gaetz, who a former congressional colleague described as “a gonzo agent of chaos” who is disliked even by those in his own party. “There’s a lot of attributes the attorney general needs – equanimity, care, prudence, a deep respect for the rule of law. Matt Gaetz is the opposite of all of those things,” Rep. Jim Himes stated.

Welp, over on the dead bird site, we're more upset now than we were in 2016. Unfortunately, I doubt it'll translate to anything more than words. My tweeps are too nice and a bit naïve, hoping to work within a system that no longer works.

A WaPo columnist Catherine Rampell sounded the alarm over what she called a "5-alarm fire" coming from a leading contender to become Trump's next A.G. Sen. Mike Lee said that the Executive Branch should be "under the direction of the president." He said, "Yet another reason why we should #EndTheFed." Rampell responded by saying, politicians who want to juice the economy in the short run for political motivations could end up harming the country in the long run.

Adam Kinzinger was asked if he was worried about a Trump DoJ criminally prosecuting him in retaliation for his work in investigating the J/6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. "Kinzinger said. "I am absolutely the opposite of concerned about retaliation." and that any strength Trump has comes from intimidating people "with power he doesn't have."
"I know the power he doesn't have," Kinzinger emphasized. "And I am not intimidated by it." (Watch the video)

Oligarchy won. At least for now. 100% this article! It did not matter if Elon Musk lost on his 44 billion dollar propaganda machine. It did not matter if his stock went down. He went up 10% of his net worth in one night after buying this election from under us. His longcon gamble worked. I hope voting in the future solves this. If it doesn't, revolution is the other option. "By any means necessary" will apply. https://newrepublic.com/article/188156/liberals-dump-musk-leave-twitter

Wow. This isn't a good look Nancy.

Trump attacked Gavin Newsom for calling a legislative session to safeguard the CA's progressive policies fr. the incoming GOP administration. Gov. Newsom is preparing to "Trump-proof" state laws & have more funding for the AG's office to challenge federal policies. "Governor Gavin Newscum is trying to KILL our Nation’s beautiful California...He is using the term 'Trump-Proof' as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to 'Make California Great Again."

Tristan Snell tweeted:

APPALLING - 67 fake bomb threats.

Most of them targeting heavily Democratic cities -
all of which had lower turnout than in 2020.

Many of the threats were traced to Russia

And somehow this is NOT a headline news story
and there is ZERO federal investigation.
