Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

[JGeropoulas]

MSNBC Political commentator, Jason Johnson:

"Pam Bondi is what I said we should fear because she is competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she knows how to do this job. So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that will give us time. No. Pam Bondi knows what she is doing about immigration. Florida is a state very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and things like that. Florida enacted rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that’s frankly worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz even with the deplorable moral background that he has.”

Pam Bondi seems like someone as determined as Gaetz to drain the DOJ swamp, with the added bonuses of having served as Florida's AG for nearly a decade, not having to give up a Congressional position, and being a woman to defy the chronic accusations that Trump's a misogynist.

A few things give me pause. Unlike Matt Gaetz, there are some swamp rats who are happy with Trump choosing her, like Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bush. She has advocated for red flag laws. As far as the 2nd Amendment is concerned, her record is less than ideal. She was registered as a foreign lobbyist for Qatar, receiving $115k per month.

She has shown a willingness to go after Hunter Biden and looks to be all about releasing the Epstein list and going after those involved. Maybe she can just appoint Gaetz as special prosecutor and give the Dems a taste of their own medicine.

All kinds of duplicity is certainly possible. At least she registered as a foreign agent, unlike Hunter. I was just theorizing to someone today that perhaps Gaetz would be given an important role in the DOJ. Someone proposed the idea that his appointment was a ploy by him and Trump to use his likely-doomed appointment as a trial balloon to expose the RINO resisters they were up against. I'd like to think the Republicans have learned to be more cunning and play hardball (i.e. "wise as serpents, but innocent as a dove").

If Gaetz couldn't take the heat before even becoming Attorney General, then I'm glad he's gone now instead of wilting as AG.

Somebody may have literally put a gun to his head, or maybe those of his family.

If he can be controlled so easily, then it is better that he is out now instead of later.

A bullet to Trump's head didn't seem to work.

Doesn't seem to be the case. He made mistakes in the past and, regardless of what anyone thinks about it, those were always gonna be used against him.

Amusing 2-minute Chinese AI-altered video (wildly popular on original Chinese site) puts Musk/DOGE in the place of a Ming Dynasty official delivering a message to a corrupt boss. Comments suggest the original Mandarin version is funnier. Interesting comments, too, suggesting that this scenario has played out in documented Chinese history before.

To hold on to political office these days, it seems someone must be really bad (i.e. aligned with the left, thus not targeted by them), or really good (depriving the left of any avenue for attack, other than fabrications). It's like a microcosm of the larger 3D polarizing process (STO vs STS), which is now in full swing..."sheep and goats...tares and wheat".
