    absolute bag fumble

    he's still got months where he could just get a paycheck for not even showing up

    although obviously he's going to immediately get some gig doing corporate security or some shit for like a billion fucking dollars, so I'm probably wrong

      Yeah, he wouldn't resign unless he already has something else lined up

    Eric Holder post. Emphasis mine.

    Chris Wray has done a good job under conditions that were unnecessarily tough. He has the nation’s thanks

    He also has a ten year term. Exactly why is he being forced out? What wrong - precisely - has he done?

    The nominee to succeed Wray - by any measure - is wholly unqualified to serve as Director

    Forced out? Trump isn't even in power yet!

      They're just getting practice reps in for the next 4 years of 'we couldn't do anything, Donald Trump is too powerful', before winning in 2028 (bold of me to assume, I know) and we get 4 years of 'President X couldn't do anything, they're not a king'

    this Kash guy sounds hilarious. like Charles Marimow, Unit Killer from the 4th season of The Wire to completely gut and scuttle the Major Crimes Unit. apparently even trump orbiters think he's fucked up.

    Patel joined Trump on the 2024 campaign trail and has promoted his memoir, a film adaptation of the memoir and a line of children’s books featuring him as a “wizard” defending “King Donald.”

    my quote ends there, because honestly the rest of the article is all quotable lines. the guy is all over the place with his grifts. it's like putting that Santos guy in charge of all federal law enforcement.
