Yes, I am being sarcastic.

I am trying to think of who he could get that would be worse. Paxton is busy. Maybe "Cootch" Cuccinelli?

Whoever it is, I am sure Trump is up to the task of finding the most corrupt, incompetent, sycophantic, hatemongering moron in the country.

Finding bad people and using them is Trump's superpower.

On edit: Hey, I know one. Alex Acosta, the guy that gave Epstein his plea deal. He'd be the perfect guy to handle the Epstein files and investigate all those nasty Democrats.

I limit myself to calling her Pam Bunny.

Pretty much says all I want to convey about that one - although this gives her a great opportunity to redeem herself by way of massive Epstein leaks, if she could work up the courage.

You know - vendetta isn't an Italian word for nothin'.

This is especially true of Southern Italians (like Bondi) - though Northern Italians have a history of it too (think the Borgias and Medicis).

I know - because my Piemontese mom (NW Italy) can hold a grudge with the best of them.

But then - her inner Pope Francis (whose father was from Asti, like most of my mom's forbears) comes through, and all is forgiven.

She proved that in spades during her time as Florida AG - when she practically served as Epstein's (and Trump's) defense attorney.

While fraud and money laundering took off faster than a cocaine-laden speedboat from the Bahamas to Miami.

It just proves that you can be the loudest, most slavishly devoted sycophant and you're still expendable. BTW if Trump is unhappy with how she handled the Epstein files, there's plenty HE can do about it as well............

Thu Apr 2, 2026, 12:10 PM

She's done an outstanding job keeping the most incriminating Epstein files from the public, and most likely started doing it when she was FL AG. She tanks investigations, she risks criminal indictments sitting in front of Congress and boldly lying.

She's debased herself and destroyed her career out of loyalty to Trump.

And he fires her?

Get a lawyer Pam

she is safe. They both have probably given a ton of records/information to several individuals and told them that if anything happens, send the info she has given them to several places, most likely European News Organizations, not any in the U.S. Republican Media..........
That is probably how Heidi Fleiss, (Washington's Madam), has remained alive and well......
Any of those three could easily bring down not only Trump, but the entire Republican Party and 2025 CABAL in a day.......

I knew she was toast. Took a little longer than I expected, but not surprised he's getting rid of her.
He has gotten rid of kristi and pammy; he'll attempt to replace them with men; it will feed into his narrative in his head that women are incompetent and only good as eye/arm candy.

Not that she’s on her way out, but that Dump “told” her. The dude’s a giant wuss, and has never had the cojones to tell anyone, TO THEIR FACE, that they’re fired or about to be fired (unless it was for his stupid TV reality show). Either someone else relayed this message, or he screeched it on some message board. But he sure as shit didn’t say it directly to her.

Blondie is out.

Deputy Atty Gen Todd Blanche will be acting AG until Trump nominates someone. Trump likely will nominat Blanche. leading to a confirmation fight in the Senate. Blanche was Trump's personal attorney for a few years.

Doesn't matter who replaces Blondie -- they will be MAGAt trash.
