Bondi has a huge binder which is full of negative stats etc on the areas of her Democratic questioners. When Ted Lieu accused her of lying under oath when she responded to his questions about whether there were minors at certain parties connected with Epstein and other accountability issues, she responded with stats on crime etc in his area. Implying that he should concentrate on addressing those issues instead of the EF.

Her staffers She's prepared her deflections well in advance. I was hoping he would reply 'What does that have to do with the price of fish?"😂

Or just reply with the cricket scores.

When challenged just reply "Sorry, I thought we were exchanging information neither one of us gives a shit about ...

Your turn."

I adore Jamie Raskin, presumably there is some good reason which I don’t understand, why he should not be the leader of the Dems and take them to victory in a free and fair election (if one ever happens again)? He’s like the Duracell bunny, he keeps going against all odds (suicide of son, cancer treatment, MAGA, Trump, Bondi et al). Amazing man, I would want him fighting in my corner every time. (Are nearly 70 year olds allowed to have crushes?)

The Trump administration is quietly removing all the machinery which makes Title VII of the Civil Rights Act function. That's the law providing protectiton from discrimination on grounds of race, gender, religion or national origin, in hiring, firing, pay, promotions, and harassment.

Enforcing this law used to be the job of the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), but the Trump administration has sacked a load of EEOC commissioners, closed departmental offices and removed datasets about race and sex. (You wouldn't want to encourage people to notice that gender pay gap thingy, would you?) Trump has also removed laws and guidance about discrimination.

BTW this is the same EEOC we discussed above demanding university admins create and hand over lists of Jewish staff and heads of Jewish societies on campus. "To make sure they're not being discriminated against." Uh-huh.

The Trump Administration is gutting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act without changing a single law and we must bolster our last powerful lines of defense

Nothing surprising.

Again.

How can this be stopped, @PerkingFaintly? There is no hope, is there? It’s outrageous and disgusting and oh dear my BP is at apoplexy level, I’d better stop thinking about it now, sorry.
FOL.

The time to stop this was 2015.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 11/02/2026 18:29

I completely agree, @SerendipityJane. I still don’t understand why people other than you and me didn’t get it then. It’s too bloody late now, isn’t it?

She thinks that everyone who participated in Trump's impeachment need to apologise to him..

Well of course she does.

When you're on your knees, it's quite cramped under the Resolute Desk for all of the...yeah, you can finish that thought yourself.

still catching up...

Pam Bondi is an absolute disgrace, she gives women a bad name!

May I politely correct you...

Pam Bondi is an absolute disgrace, she gives HUMANITY a bad name!

😶 there really are no words, are there? Well, other than "Guilt by association" or "complicity" I guess?

I think possibly nobody in Trump's administration would want to mention the price of fish. Or of any other everyday foodstuff come to that.

The acting head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told a congressional committee that the agency is "a key part of the overall security apparatus for the World Cup" when asked if he would pause operations for this summer's tournament.
Todd Lyons and other senior officials were questioned by lawmakers on the House committee on homeland security after ICE agents shot and killed two American citizens as part of US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5733236-gallup-stops-presidential-approval-ratings-polls/

Igotjelly · 11/02/2026 21:11

Watching Bondi squirm lies through her teeth, knowing she’s putting herself at risk of contempt is quite disgusting and satisfying all at once.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 11/02/2026 21:14

I wonder what the threats were against Gallup to make them stop showing the world how badly Trump is doing.

Wow. Is anyone going to go???

AcrossthePond55 · 11/02/2026 21:41

If anyone can make sense of Gallup's word salad response I'd appreciate it. Although it does state that they're not going to do polls on "approval and favorability ratings of individual political figures" so apparently not just Scrotus.

I bet he threatened them, even so; they just decided not to make it obvious they were caving in to him.

That was my take, too.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

He's going to be furious that the USA danced a Spanish dance on ice in the Olympics. Because no one will understand what the hell they're doing.
