Summary

The Senate confirmed Pam Bondi as U.S. attorney general in a 54-46 vote, solidifying a key Trump ally at the Justice Department.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, is expected to reshape the DOJ, which has faced mass firings of officials linked to Trump-related investigations.

She has echoed Trump’s claims of a “weaponized” justice system and refused to rule out prosecuting his adversaries.

    Another progressive turns out to be republican. While leftists online get more vocal about removing closed primaries so there is no vetting process to prevent this.

      Liberal and conservative politicians are closer to one another than to us. “Told you so” isn’t helping the bitterness go down, I would have preferred leftists being wrong. Socialism or bust.

        Leftists can’t win elections because they refuse to work with other ideologies and they are too small of a voting group to get anything done alone.

          Leftists don’t usually have candidates… When has a democrat plugged their nose and voted more progressive than they’d like? Leftists do that every single time…

            When has a democrat plugged their nose and voted more progressive than they’d like? Leftists do that every single time…

            Never. Because democrats are willing to work with other ideologies so they have a bigger group of voters.

            Leftists are not willing to work with other ideologies so they don’t get enough votes to win elections or get any legislation passed.

            If leftists ever want to get their candidates elected or legislation passed they need to work with other ideologies and reach across the aisle. Because they don’t have enough voters to do anything alone as a result of their own inability to compromise.

              amazing take thanks for sharing lol

              Democrats sure seem to want to work with Republicans, which leftist policies have they adopted?

              they didn’t even budge on genocide.

              keep your “cooperation” if it means fascism and fascism-lite.

              Sorry we’re not so complacent?

                Democrats sure seem to want to work with Republicans, which leftist policies have they adopted?

                Single payer healthcare, student loan debt relief, capital gains tax, increasing corporate tax rate, legal marijuana, all the UBI experiments have been done in democratic locations and that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.

                The only thing stopping democrats from getting legislation passed is seats in Congress.

                Leftist haven’t been able to get elected for barely any congressional seats so our leftist legislation is only as successful as leftist are at getting elected.

                But leftist look for any reason to not vote (genocide or whatever the hot topic is that election cycle) and refuse to work with other ideologies. So they never get enough votes to actually get anything passed. The sad thing is they end up blaming democrats for their inability to get anything done so they never learn from their mistakes.
