The attorney General should not be driven by partisan politics. They're not even making a minimal attempt to even appear non-partisan.
This woman is so blatantly far-right partisan and a trump/maga cultist sycophant.
The fact that the Senate breezed through her confirmation made it clear not just to us, but to Trump and Bondi, that Republicans intended to fully abdicate their oversight and check function.
If they had even gone through the motions of trying to commit her to be independent, she probably would not have gotten so brazen so fast. But nope, here we are.
They're not "abdicating" their function. They're rubber-stamping the fascist dictatorship.
They are the authoritarians. This is exactly what they've wanted all along.
I guess all Garland's fucking waffling and "not wanting to appear political" was literally fucking pointless then. So glad he worried so much about how things appeared instead of, you know, going after fucking criminals doing crimes.
Yeah, that's the plan. Project 2025

This really boggles my mind. All the things they are doing, were written down beforehand and all this was available online, freely accessible, long before the elections.
It wasn't even a secret.
No one did even bat an eye.
Everyone's behaving now like someone that hears Queen's "We will Rock You" everyday and starts complaining that they got rocked, after getting rocked hard at a live concert in the 80s.
