The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is visible everywhere in the government but perhaps nowhere as egregious as in the DOJ. Talk about weaponized. Pam Bondi is the worst USAG ever.

reporter: “have you ever threatened DOJ leadership if they don’t prosecute Letitia James?”

Donny: “no. I don’t do that. I don’t do that. I mean, I look at the facts like everybody else. you read the facts, and to me she looks terrible, she looks like she’s very guilty. but that’s going to be up to the DOJ.”


LMAO: Trump 'looks at the facts'. Sure.

And we have all seen the 'tweet' where Trump pressures Bondi to go after his enemies.

Almost no one in the GOP will stand up to Trump's abuses of power. Typical is this Oklahoma Senator:

Dana Bash [CNN]: “he’s asking his attorney general in a public way to go after his political enemies. he’s very open about it. you’re okay with that?”

Mullin: “well, I think what we know is President Trump is very open and transparent with the American people, and he speaks his mind. that’s what his supporters love about him.”


Yep, he's transparent alright. Easy to see how he is trying to destroy our democracy.
