Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This scene plays endlessly in my mind these days.
lol...asking the judge to hold her in contempt so she could grab a few hours of sleep for a change. For me that would be a sign that I'm not going to work there any longer. She should get out and when they can't find anyone to argue the government's side justice will then prevail.
The problem is, if she exits now, what sane firm would hire her?
What sane firm would hire anyone who stays on to toe the line being fed out by this Justice Department? She could immediately about face and start supporting victims who have been disappeared...not much money in it but you can sleep at night.
"It will take enormous work to build a new DOJ that reflects our best traditions once we drive this regime out at the polls."
Yeah I'm sure this will work as long as Citizens United stands.
I kinda feel bad for this lady. I mean, we don't know why she's kept such a terrible job (is it the benefits for a sick kiddo, or she's trying but the economy is shit, or something else entirely). Not everyone has the luxury to up and quit a job.
Nah, the more she suffers the less she's able to do her job and inflict suffering on many other people (including sick kids, btw). This is good news.
Not The Onion, if only it were.
Maybe I didn't sleep enough or something, but I did not understand half of it.
A Trumpist DOJ person said the quit part out loud, of what? Is it critical of business as usual (i.e. pre-Trump) or critical of Trumpist breakdown of rule of law?
