Pam Bondi is not a good choice for AG

Liberals and Conservatives will end up disliking her

interesting but long read on why Gaetz was never charged by the DOJ

Did he have sex with a 17 year old girl? Yes he did. Did she have a valid Florida DL that said she was older? Yes she did.

you can choose to believe it or not, but it sounds credible

Let's be honest, boinging a 17 year old is barely statutory rape and probably in some states it's not even that. Unseemly (to some), yes, and maybe technically illegal, but hardly something to go crazy about in the average horn dog. But it's not the kind of activity you want the US Attorney General to have participated in multiple times with multiple "women." I can't even decipher this but it doesn't look good:

A redacted Venmo payment chart obtained by the New York Times from the DOJ shows 3 years worth of payments between Matt Gaetz, his criminal buddies, drug dealers, sex workers, and girlfriends.

yea its not what I want in an AG

but then again, weaponizing the DOJ to go after political enemies isn't what I want either.

Gaetz is a jackass but he'd chase out every activist justice warrior in the department.

Being a Ron Paul guy, I am thrilled at the idea of drastically reducing the size, and given the activist mentality in government, the effectiveness of government.

The more neutered our federal government is, the better off we all are

I was looking forward to Gaetz as AG, but the usual RINO senators did what RINO senators do - preemptively surrender like the French Army. The ones running for reelection just guaranteed primary opponents.

I’m fine with Bondi. She’s supposedly a loyalist, and not another spineless weasel like Sessions or Barr. She was the AG of Florida, the 4th largest state. Gaetz would have brought a chain saw to the DOJ, but Bondi will know better how to administer the necessary chemo to a gravely sick department.

Here’s another guy who needs special attention. According to WaPo;

“The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believed the United States was preparing to attack. That belief, the authors write, was based on tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea, and deepened by Trump’s belligerent rhetoric toward China.

“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

“Milley also summoned senior officers to review the procedures for launching nuclear weapons, saying the president alone could give the order — but, crucially, that he, Milley, also had to be involved. Looking each in the eye, Milley asked the officers to affirm that they had understood, the authors write, in what he considered an “oath.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... ley-china/

Milley undermined the chain of command and the authority of the Commander in Chief who he swore to obey, offered to side with our enemy if war had started, and tried to enlist other senior officers in his conspiracy. That is called treason. Benedict Arnold became synonymous with treason for trying to sell West Point to the British. What Milley did was at least that bad. Milley needs to be recalled from retirement to active duty, court martialed, and if found guilty, sent to Leavenworth.

Its just politics. They need to do to Milley what they did to Trump, find politically motivated jurors or a politically motivated judge. Or else, the verdict will be not-guilty.

This is the very reason why the world largely didn't care when a then 39 year old Jerry Seinfeld may have done the exact same thing that Gaetz was accused of. Difference is, Seinfeld was an ally of the left.

Now you understand why Milley is scared Trump will court martial him. He’s earned it

A suppose a special prosecutor could go after Milley and Trump is vindictive enough to try and make that happen. We'll see.

My guess is that Milley is not a traitor. He's just a fucking idiot who said something really stupid to a foreign leader because he assumed (incorrectly) that Trump was insane. In this case, Trump Derangement Syndrome (this is a real medical condition that Milley is diagnosed with) may have real criminal consequences.

“Or else, the verdict will be not-guilty.”

Military court martials have something like a 98% conviction rate. JAGs rotate their military lawyers between the prosecution and defense sides because if they stay too long on the defense side they get clinically depressed and become ineffective.

I felt the same way. When I was 15. Well, at least you have an ally in Tree...

That's how I feel when you stay too long in here and you've already gone way past your limit...

Yeah, but this with Milley would be a political trial. Not a criminal one. Just one democrat on the jury of 12, the jury would be hung. These silly, ridiculous convictions and civil suit judgements against Trump, well, politics supersedes justice in the United States unfortunately.
