Another Pam Bondi coverup.

Pirro has never done a federal trial much less any corruption or regulatory work. An Assistant US Attorney leads and prosecutes trials, "Assistant" doesn't literally mean "Assist", it means they are under the US Attorney. Even the US Attorney in your own district likely has years of prosecution experience as an Assistant US Attorney, that's typical.

Holder had 13 years as an assistant US attorney, including work prosecuting corruption cases, and he was confirmed by the Senate to the DC district bench after nomination by Ronald Reagan where he was a judge for 5 years. So that's 18 years as judge and prosecutor in DC including federal trials and corruption investigations.

Cain is probably the best one, but even he did not meet the legal requirements for Chief. IMO Trump likely picked him because he loves the "Raisin' Cain" moniker, like he liked Mattis because they called him 'Mad Dog'. Then Mattis ended up doing actual work at which point Trump fired him.

Well frankly IMO 2 years as county judge and 10-11 years as a county DA even in a big county like Westchester doesn't qualify for US Attorney for DC. Just as an example, to avoid all the Obama / Trump stuff, the US Attorney for DC picked by Bush Sr. had been an Assistant US Attorney, and had years of experience at DOJ. Has Pirro ever tried a federal case?

Oh I agree with that, it's a major county.

I do think good on tv as communicators is the best argument here. It's not a bad one.

This chart really is something. I realized Mexico and Canada were our biggest national trading partners but the EU as a block beats everybody.

Eh, a county judge for a few years. County prosecutor. Her own husband was committing felonies in their own house.

Ok, but you raised this point, not me. Yes Pirro is Trump's friend. That is actually a different, separate problem. Yes like several at Fox she attends events at Maralago or just personally knows Trump. But Pirro especially, her felon ex-husband was Trump's lobbyist and she personally lobbied for his pardon. Trump is also a big fan of her show. He wailed when she was suspended from Fox and after she lost her show. He regularly comments on her show like he does other Fox shows when they're on or just after on Pravda Social. Right now off the top of my head these are the Fox people Trump has nominated or named to cabinet or near cabinet positions: Pirro - Fox news host - USA DC - will have oversight over any Trump administration corruption or criminal issues. Hegseth - Fox news host - Secretary of Defense. Duffy - Sec. of Transportation. Gen. Cain - Fox news pundit - Chief of Staff, US military. Leavitt - Fox news pundit - WH press secretary. Tammy Bruce - Fox news pundit - State Dept. spokeswoman. Huckabee - US ambassador to Israel. Dan Bongino - Fox news host - Deputy Director FBI

Awesome story. Thanks.

I’d be interested to know the variety of planes involved I bet it’s a real hodgepodge of old Soviet, US & Euro jets.

But about this, I know someone who actually bought art by Johnny Depp. I personally don’t get it. And I know other famous people, like Russell Crowe?, sell art for absurd amounts. Would these buyers really want or like that art if it was just Target Art? Would the fact a piece I like is something u saw stop me from buying it because it’s cheap or a knockoff? Maybe the buyer likes it. Maybe it’s an investment, maybe they really like it. I don’t know.

Thanks, I’ve made my point & I’ll leave it.

No, saying ‘wig’ is literary license. If we’re having a serious discussion yeah scalp reduction surgery is more accurate, but as we’ve acknowledged the man invents his own medical history. But to stay on point, Trump actually picked Pirro because he consumes Fox like he does Big Macs & Diet Cokes.

No it’s ok, I think the ‘deranged’ piece is what you get hung up on. You’re suggesting I’m obsessive. Ok fine, fair, we should both be doing other things no doubt. But ‘deranged’ connotes detachment from reality. And the argument is I’m deranged, not the octogenarian with multiple hair reduction surgeries packing near 3 bucks who slathers orange tallow on his face & goes about renaming bodies of water & appointing his favorite TV stars to existential governmental positions.

Have a good one Sea. I know the issue is difficult. Obviously the POTUS selling his own currency to foreign investors for tens of millions at a time - the sort of thing a DC US Attorney might be asked to look at - is nothing compared to ‘recruitment at tranny mixers’. No doubt there are mixers at pizza restaurants too.

Look at the post TOK responded to.

What’s funny to me about this is I see one person, a nut job busted for stealing women’s dresses, hired (not even nominated) by the Biden administration. And we’re talking about this in the context of Trump nominating a woman for US Attorney for DC whose ex-husband was convicted while they were married of fraud & corruption & who she lobbied for the pardon of.

This is really the maga ideology. Any amount of corruption, incompetence, socialism, evisceration of the constitution, degradation of the presidency & America’s reputation, & decay of the economy is permissible because of the evil the liberals will supposedly bring down upon us.

China's exports increased 8.1% in April. Its imports declined 0.2%.

Trump administration plans to eliminate the Energy Star program after 3 decades

Link So when the government takes over trade, what happens?

That stat is murder rate. Murder rate is not based on convictions.

UK's tariff went from 1% to 0.8%. UK is 3% of US trade. And US has a trade surplus with the UK.
