Trump’s DOJ ready to hit the war path (1 Viewer)

    I too am drawing some faint hope from Chuck’s writings. But I heard one more thing the other day, from Sarah Longwell. She has long-standing focus groups of Trump voters drawn from both the GOP and independents.

    She said the groups are pretty much split down the middle on approval of what Trump is doing. There are the hard-core MAGA, who basically want everyone to suffer and are very happy.

    But fully half of his voters are NOT happy at all. They are upset he is deporting non-criminals (I have zero idea where they got the idea that only criminals would be deported but it was evidently fairly widespread). But most importantly, they don’t see inflation easing - it has actually ticked up a bit. And they say Trump isn’t doing anything about it, correctly. They are not happy with the pro-Russia statements, the threats to Panama and Greenland and even Canada. They don’t want any of that.

    With the types of budgets the GOP is proposing I’m guessing they will not be any happier. They HATE Musk and what he is doing - wielding chainsaws, celebrating people losing their jobs, etc.

    The general consensus was that Trump had a historically short honeymoon and people are already reaching their limit with him and definitely Musk.
    James Carville believes Trump is just weeks away from collapse.

    I don’t know what to think about Carville any more. Even if Trump collapses, Vance and Musk will just keep going.
     
    Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) this week to throw out lawsuits the Biden administration filed accusing police and fire departments around the country of discrimination when hiring candidates.

    Bondi directed the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Wednesday to dismiss the federal civil rights lawsuits, arguing the prior administration “unjustly” went after fire and police departments for utilizing standard aptitude exams to comb through and help select their new employees.

    “American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety – not to meet DEI quotas,” Bondi said in a statement, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion.

    When former President Biden was in office, his DOJ filed lawsuits against several police and fire stations nationwide, looking to alter the written tests it said discriminated against Black applicants.

    “Discriminatory employment tests do more than cost applicants a fair chance to compete for public service jobs like firefighting; they also prevent communities from being served in these crucial positions by the most qualified candidates for the job,” then-Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in October last year.

    Biden’s administration settled with the Maryland State Police in October to alter the way applicants were tested for jobs following the DOJ’s claims the department utilized a written exam that discriminated against Black applicants and a fitness test that discriminated against female applicants.…….

    She says quotas - even though she either knows that no quotas are in place or she is a complete moron. She’s either a liar or stupid.

    I don’t know.

    As previously stated I operate under the theory of paranoia.

    Just because I am paranoid that doesn’t mean they are not out to get me.

    Vance doesn’t have near the same ‘charisma’ pull or hold on the base that Trump does

    I don’t think Musk does either

    I’ve always said that Trumpism without Trump is going to be interesting to watch

    Also said it may be like when a mob boss dies and all the capos are fighting with each other to claim the crown
     
    Vance wrote the foreword to P2025, I'm certain that the show will go on.
    Oh, I think he’ll keep pushing forward with P2025. I just don’t see him letting Musk run around creating all the chaos he is. Vance has a little more political savvy than Trump and he would probably want to get re-elected.
     
    There aren’t any sane Republicans in Colorado, evidently. Tina Peters was convicted on state charges of election tampering, and so Trump cannot pardon her. Well, the GOP in Colorado wants the governor to pardon her and wants the DOJ to go after the judge in her case.

    Rule of law? That doesn’t apply to the GOP evidently.

    “9News’ Kyle Clark in Denver reports that Colorado Republicans are pressuring Gov. Polis to pardon Tina Peters, and have contacted the U.S. Attorney General to ask the Department of Justice to prosecute Mesa County Court Judge Matthew Barrett, who presided over Tina’s criminal case and sentenced her to 9 years of incarceration after the jury found her guilty of multiple criminal charges related to election equipment tampering.”

    From a blog, but evidently reported on local Denver TV.
     
    Comment about Carville


    Carville is wrong about doing nothing. Trump would love that. Despite the chaos and stupidity, Trump is as popular as ever. His propaganda is winning. Staying silent and expecting him to collapse is naive and defeatist. We need to keep fighting. If we lose, we should lose fighting, not passively hoping that people will wake up. I think Democrats should be proposing impeachment for the many laws already broken. Biden would’ve been impeached by now.

    Reactionaries, sorry, Republicans have no moral compass anymore. It vanished when they all decided to attach themselves like lampreys to Trump’s azz.
