Soon to be replaced by another actor, I'm sure.

The first "news" reaction I saw on Twitter to this was that he's angry at Esper because Esper fought him on sending troops into US cities during protests/looting...or something along those lines

Barr is out.

How much damage will his successor do in the remaining month?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-justice-dept-tried-grand-120145159.html

Quote :
"The Justice Department under President Donald Trump secretly obtained a grand-jury subpoena last year in an attempt to identify the person behind a Twitter account dedicated to mocking Rep. Devin Nunes of California, according to a newly unsealed court document.

But Twitter fought the subpoena, as well as an associated gag order barring the company from talking about it publicly. Twitter executives raised skepticism about whether the Justice Department might be abusing federal criminal law-enforcement power to retaliate against a critic of Nunes, a Republican who is a close ally of Trump, in violation of the First Amendment.

Ultimately, according to a person familiar with the matter, the Justice Department withdrew the subpoena this spring, after President Joe Biden took office."

And, “We cannot allow a con artist to get access to the nuclear codes of the United States of America.”"

That's heinous, not to mention, dangerous and scary.

But now, he is in bed with the owner of Twitter, and he is making a big deal about restoring freedom of speech in the US:

All of these announcements are a smokescreen and misdirection meant to keep the attention on trump

Well considering they said he is a king that can literally do absolutely anything he wants without any fear of consequence, I’d say pretty far fucking gone

^^Of course I'm bothered by that decision, but with lifetime appointments, they don't really have to kiss the ring if they don't want to. I would think at some point even they'd get tired of Trump's crap and take a stand for separation of powers. We'll probably get a chance to find out.

Trump is full-on trolling America at this point. His proposed cabinet is a cadre of fools and scofflaws.

I trust his fans will be elated with the elevation of ignorance.

Kevin McCarthy:

Quote :
"“I’ll give you the truth why I’m not speaker. Because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old, an ethics complaint that started before I ever became speaker. And that’s illegal and I’m not gonna get in the middle of it.""

Maybe this could fail if these people garner too much attention for themselves and start stealing Trump's spotlight.

"If confirmed, Gaetz, 42, would take the helm of a department that as recently as last year was investigating him for possible sex trafficking offenses. Ultimately, prosecutors recommended against bringing charges against him after a long-running probe.

Gaetz also faced an House Ethics Committee investigation related to sex trafficking and drug allegations that ended when he resigned his position on Wednesday."

Is there any downside or constraint experienced if a nominee isn’t confirmed by the Senate, other than it being a transgression of norms to excessively rely on “acting” positions?

hahaha this is gonna be a damned spectacle to watch.

I just hope Lutnick doesn't fuck up my investment portfolio. Or whatever, maybe he'll create a buying opportunity--I have a big cash horde, for lack of anywhere I'm comfortable investing it...Maybe I can cash in on this debacle 5-10 years down the road.
