Trump nominates John Sauer to Solicitor General and Todd Blanche to Deputy Attorney General. The Department of Justice is basically going to be his personal law firm
The election was basically "It's inflation, stupid" and now it appears to be dawning on people that perhaps they should have taken Trump seriously and literally and they have buyer's remorse.
The big success of the US right over the last decade or so, helped by a cadre of centrists, is convincing a lot of people that the Democratic Party is whoever you think is the most radical, most annoying person on the internet. Therefore, voting Republican is a vote against them.- Nicholas Grossman.
The definition of elite in United States politics has been completely twisted beyond comprehension. Somehow the richest people in the world: Musk, Bezos, Zuckerbeg, Horowitz, Andersen, Thiel, Sacks, and other billionaires who bankrolled Trump are not elite. People with millions of dollars in wealth from owning car dealerships or paving contractor businesses or working in finance are not elite. The Winklevoss Crypto Twins are not elite despite attending the Greenwich County Day School, Brunswick School, and Harvard University.
But an adjunct professor at a community college who uses the term Latinx is one of the worst people in the world.
Welp Rogan is just asking questions about Jewish guys on his show: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/01d860a45ed5463cfb3f73258faed248a0decec495ec224493e048d3f1cfe2ab.png
Ed Whelan, a former Scalia Clerk and no one's idea of a liberal is apparently hearing through the grapevine that there is apparently a bonkers plan for Trump to get these appointments through on recess by adjourning Congress using Article II, Section 3. Article II, Section 3 states:
"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."
I suppose it would be pretty darkly funny in a lolsob grim way if Trump decides to go Charles I on Congress and tell them they are not needed.
He does. It is trolling because 78 percent of the Jewish vote when to Harris according to early preliminary exit polling (not seen since 2008) and it is also trolling the Arabs of Michigan who apparently vote for Trump or Stein to send Democrats a message.
