Of all the people you’d think would be impressed by her Adult-Mean-Girl-with-a-burn-book routine, and using just about every logical fallacy there is, you think it would be “maga”, AKA the baby-word we use for the base of the Republican Party.
I’m just surprised she didn’t demand to see the manager somewhere in the course of her unhinged rants about how a hearing about her bungling/coverup for the Epstein Class wasn’t praising Donvict and wasn’t talking about the Dow, and didn’t want to talk about whatever weird bullshit side quest conservative grievances du jour she was trying to inject in there by name-dropping random names into the mix.
I cannot even imagine what her internal dialogue must be like if she actually blurted out this kind of bilge, out loud, in the middle of a national hearing that is going to be televised. JFC.
Resign?
I mean in the end this is exactly what she will do.
But people misunderstand.
This is a precalculated move to separate themselves from previous patrons and make it look involuntary and gain a victim status.
This will only happen after does everything she was hired to do. All calculated.
She doesn’t only need to resign but to also go to jail
That’s why she isn’t going to resign. Because her position is the only thing keeping her from going to prison.
But accountability is fully non existent in the USA. If Bush got away with war crimes nobody is going to be punished
She won’t resign, and Trump won’t fire her. Her performance was exactly what Trump wanted. They prepared her for that performance, gave her all sorts of MAGA Conservative Propaganda Machine conspiracy bullshit to spew when the heat rose and she wanted to try to put them on defense. This was what they planned for, and what they wanted.
Yelling crazy shit about made up nonsense from years ago, is exactly how Trump thinks this should be handled. He thinks that the American people have been shielded from the real behavior of these corrupt Democrats by the liberal mainstream media, and screaming it in public like a psychopath will alert America to the truth, and they will turn on the Dems, and support MAGA.
It makes him and her look even worse to the normies. That’s if this kind of thing breaks through at all.
I’m sure some of Republican faithful beat off to that kind of “testimony”.
No way she’s resigning. She doing exactly what trump wants her to do. Keep important things redacted and attract attention away from trump. She’s not going anywhere as long long as there’s heat on trump
They aren’t mad at what she said. They are mad cause she made them look bad.
Make sure you tell them about the stock market! 🫲🍊🫱
“Also, make sure you say I’m the best president in history.”
Stop with the RawStory links. It’s sensationalized garbage pandering to progressive values.
Per Wikipedia’s sourcing standards:
There is consensus that Raw Story is generally unreliable for factual reporting, based upon a pattern of publishing false and sensationalized stories. Editors almost unanimously agree that the source is biased and that in-text attribution should accompany each use of the source.

I brought this up so much in /c/politics, I got sick of it and blocked the sub.
But tabloids work. As long as the headline is stimulating, upvoters and moderators don’t seem to care.
It’s a shame you’re getting downvoted cause you’re on the money. People are kidding themselves if they think the Right are the only ones who have cynical media outlets telling them what they want to hear for clicks.
She needs to be disbarred
I’d bet $10,000 she will be on the Supreme Court.
NGL I think if it were a male press secretary then most Republicans would still stand behind them.
At what point does covering up a child sex trafficking conspiracy make you an accomplice in the child sex trafficking conspiracy?
I think Pam is way, way past that.
What makes you think she isn’t in the files we haven’t seen and was already an accomplice?
Seems plausible enough, PAM - Are you hiding that you’re in the files? I’m just asking questions!
Her testimony reminded me of one of my favorite movies.
Every single one of these headlines would be better phrased as, “x does y and yet there will be no consequences and nothing will change”, because that’s the fucking reality.
Example:
Pam Bondi acts like a petulant toddler in front of Congress and yet there will be no consequences and nothing will change
“The media should only feed people hopelessness so that they will accept their lot in life and shut up about it.”
-You
The headline in the OP is clearly wrong. But you want to be lied to because it provides an optimistic message? That seems even more bootlicking than the strawman you presented in your comment.
Nah more like if we stop pretending through headlines that something is being done, we can wake up from this coma we seem to be in and actually take any action.
If that’s your goal, you may want to study which communication methods have proven to be effectively inspiring in past political movements. Because I’m pretty sure “there’s no winning” is not among them.
At some point you need to be realistic. Having false hope helps nobody. No, you will not be able to magically fix your broken ass country with elections, if those are even going to happen the way you think which I highly doubt. That country is beyond saving. Give up false hope and get tf out of there.
Dude, it’s lemmy alright, I don’t think I’m exactly starting a political movement here.
I guess my point is more that cope-y articles like this one help people be complacent because they think that somehow the Trump fever will break on its own despite a decade of evidence to the contrary.
Tbf I think you’re both kind of right. Complacency and hopelessness are two sides of the same coin and it’s bloody difficult to land the damn thing on its edge.
She might be removed.
I mean if you’re very certain you could bet on it on a prediction market… Just saying.
Right now the odds put her at like 7% chance to be removed by March 31.
Bongino was. Scapegoats have value.
Tokens
Resign, be exiled, put in stocks and have tomatoes thrown at her, launched into the ocean via trebuchet, used to test a SpaceX rocket - there’s just so many possibilities!
Resign?
Pam Bondi needs to be prosecuted and arrested. She’s a complicit of all the MAGA and Trump criminal activities.
Seriously what is up with these articles? No one has turned on shit. MAGA is a bought-and-paid-for sunken cost for these people. They’re all-in. They aren’t turning on anyone!
Go ahead and check Raw Story’s “journalistic” history. It’s mostly just hopium/copium slop.
“MAGA melts down after…” “Trump furious because…” “Judge SLAMS MAGA over….”
Meanwhile, not a fucking thing is changing, progressing, being fixed, undone, or halted in any meaningful way.
We’re being sold on action that isn’t happening. It’s an insulting pacifier that ok many people have no problem sucking on every single fucking day- several times a day.
>Trump’s career ENDING implosion spells DOOM for administration
>Republican Party DESTROYED, reign of tyranny FINALLY OVER
Looking at you, Meidas and Adam Mockler
Medias and Mockler have become unwatchable. Mockler is extra disappointing as a “gen z voice” when he glazes establishment dems constantly. This boy thinks Hillary Clinton is cool and will save us, and that Joe Biden did an “amazing job.” Blah blah blah. He completely rejects actual progressive politics. He has said repeatedly that he is “OK with billionaires like Taylor Swift.” Mockler isn’t a Trump douche but he isn’t on the right side of this either. The only way forward is real progressivism, not more establishment dem pro-capitalist bullshit. They do not care about us. They care about billionaires.
Seriously what is up with these articles?
This is our manufactured society now, as we read this bullshit, the right is reading their own versions that show Pam Bondi heroically fighting back against mean, mean Democrats, carefully edited and clipped to make her look like a Valhalla-worthy warrior.
We let too many people into positions of representation without giving a shit who they were or what they represented, and did nothing to interrupt them as they took donations from companies that want to manufacture our entire world so that they can decide what kind of shoppers they want us to be, and who we’re going to be mad at (each other, they want us to hate each other so we don’t hate the oligarchs and donor-class.)
If anyone wants to know why so much money is being poured into AI, it’s because that’s the tech that will let them micro-manufacture manipulation campaigns for every individual, on an individual level.
We are utterly and totally cooked unless people rise up and stop spending money on useless crap and start focusing on their communities and local leadership.
Couldn’t agree more if I tried.
Who owns all the papers? They pretend with fake titles and it eases the rage building in everyone at the ridiculousness of this whole charade. Dudes running the country like it’s his own private business and he’s a vulture capitalist. Occupy everything was also a disarming of a fuse that was running very short at the time and has been allowed to fester into general unrest across the country. They control the narrative in the mainstream, the same people running this whole farce.
There are a few MAGA at least questioning if this is what “great” is.
Not enough to meaningfully dent his base, but it is enough of a start to get Gallup to stop reporting approval numbers.
I’d love to see this and that god awful smug smirk be wiped the fuck off her face as she descends to hell as traitors should
They don’t want you to take action for yourself. “Don’t worry - someone else will take action. You don’t have to. They’ll deal with it. Don’t think about who. Shhh. No action. Only consume…”
Daily Beast and Raw Story are as bad as any other tabloid. Just liberal focused.
I think I just now realized those are separate websites.
Yep. I’ve always called them the Fox News of the left.
