The Senate has confirmed former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the new U.S. Attorney General and head of the Department of Justice. The vote was along party lines, with only Democrat Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman crossing the invisible party boundary to vote in favor of Bondi.
Bondi is Trump’s 11th cabinet nominee to win confirmation from the Senate. Both Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan voted for Bondi, who will be sworn in on Wednesday.
Bondi worked as a state prosecutor in Florida for two decades before being elected as Florida’s first female attorney general in 2010.
In 2016, she endorsed Trump for president and she also was part of his legal team defending him in his first impeachment trial in the U.S. House and Senate.
She replaces Merrick Garland, who last year was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over interview tapes from a probe into former President Joe Biden’s handing of classified documents. He also charged and his department prosecuted more than 1,200 J-6ers — people who were present in Washington, D.C. during the turmoil of the Jan. 6, 2021 election of Joe Biden. All of the J-6ers have now been pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Crosses now de rigueur. Memo to DOJ staff going out tomorrow. The bigger the better.
Hate much? Religious bigotry is a bad look on you, Whidbey. Now do racial minorities.
Well, actually, Rollo, hate is not a part of it at all.
I just think the whole religion thing is laughably ridiculous. Maybe someday you should pick up a book by Dawkins or Harris or Hitchens and read it with the same rigor that you do your Bible. What chafes is the arrogance and projected superiority of the faux-pious who walk around claiming that they are “saved”, and are therefore in some strange way, just a little bit better than the rest of us.
Well, I’ve got news for you. The religious are living in a fantasy world, never having had the courage to challenge the veracity of their own beliefs, or question the creeds that they speak every Sunday.
Last year Dawkins said, “If I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I’d choose Christianity every single time. It seems to me to be a fundamentally decent religion, in a way that I think Islam is not” he commented.
Just how do you know this inside information?
It is amazing how you have this insight that no one else has. Please share your source.
The five-point gold cross hanging around her neck every day. Virtue signaling, anyone?
CORRECTION
The five-pound gold cross hanging around her neck every day. Virtue signaling, anyone?
Bow to your sensei.
Remember when SCOTUS Justice Anthony Scalia strangely died, and there was no autopsy, and President Obama sent up Merrick Garland to take his place in an election year. Lisa Murkowski the Senator from Alaska FOUGHT to have him voted in, Thankfully Mitch McConnell said not in an election year. Now we know that Garland had to be the worst A G ever, and he could have been a Supreme Court Justice if Lisa could have had her way. What a breath of fresh air to have President Trump and Pam Bondi running our justice system. Too bad Lisa will be around for 4 more years, but at least she voted for Bondi, which shows she has maybe half a brain, and that she knows how to count votes, so she won’t be an embarrassment to us all the time. MAGA.
Peace Corp should go
VA was always a scam – should go!
Social security & Medicare need to be sharply reduced, if not eliminated.
Pam: release names of FBI agents who persecuted the J6 hostages!
Perhaps Ms. Bondi can just replace those FBI agents with the J6 insurrectionists and outfit them in Brown Shirts to carry out the new Dept of “justice” business. And make sure that they don’t receive any social security or medicare or participate in any other socialist programs.
Those people that paid for Social Security were promised by the government need to get their full benefits. If you want to cut something cut everything else except for what was taken out of the paychecks by force and promised back in payment.
The FBI had 5,000 (Five thousand) agents/staff assigned to the J6 persecutions (not a typo). For all four years. Look it up if you don’t believe it. I couldn’t, but it’s true. Meanwhile the CBP sworn officers aiding and abetting illegal entry into our country blame their abhorrent behavior on “Just doing as ordered”. That exude was used during the Nuremberg Trials with little success. We need a major federal agency purge. Clean house. Maybe they can all learn to build solar panels like Biden told the keystone pipeline laid off workers.
Why do you say the VA is a scam??..(Yes they have had their problems, but many depend upon their assistance) I resent that statement even though you DO! have your RIGHT of freedom to speak your piece.
She is one hot mama
Time to clean up this mess. The DOJ was pirated and weaponized and Garland should not be let off the hook.
Whoohoo!
Congratulation Pam Bondi!! MAGA
Pam Bondi does not have a good record when it comes to firearms ownership and 2A issues. Apparently stopping Big Government from trampling citizens rights isn’t high on her agenda. 2A was written as a way to stop the government from abusing our right to own weapons. Look it up.
