Democrats need to start railing against all these DEI hires. None of these people would have been hired without it.
- Conservatives operate on CIN:
  Conformity, Inequity, Neglection

Are there any appointees that were never on television?
- Trump doesn't believe anything exists unless it's on TV, so no.
- Come on man. The president was a TV host to a show based on surface level qualities. This should be expected.
  
  That show saved him from the streets.

Another DUI hire....

More great news, seriously. Every time HitlerPig replaces a knowledgable, competent person with a loyalist, the MAGA Nazis get weaker, and the Resistance grows stronger and more competent.

Another day drinker, eh?

Ugh. I hate that smug spiteful loud bitch.

So I don't know much about the intricacies of American legal structures, is this a purely political role or is she actually going to have to act as a prosecutor?
- It's a real job. It's a little weird because it's actually for Washington, D.C., which is just a city, but a very important city that gets controlled by the federal government in a lot of ways.
  Edit: To clarify, she wouldn't be in court arguing cases, but will be making decisions and managing prosecutors.
  
  Seems odd or even irresponsible to give a job like that to someone who's been out of the game for so long. Normally you'd expect that if you don't use your qualification in a relevant professional role for an extended period of time then you would have effectively lost those quals.

I searched her reason for not being a judge anymore. I used the G search engine. Nothing on the subject except that she was a fake judge on fox and her ratings dropped so they dropped her. Then as I scrolled down I had access to all the most relevant related questions.... She has dogs.

So they're going to try to arrest Democratic senators at the Capitol Building? Or would they need a DC judge to sign off for that?
