Firing Bondi is a distraction from well, everything

His disastrous speech last night and the market's reaction, his lower and still sinking poll numbers in every category, and his bombing of a civilian target in the Iran War are just a few.

The fact that nothing is going well means he is flailing and pointing at any shiny object screaming "Look over there!" And the press looks.

I'm glad she's gone but I refuse to be distracted. Todd Blanche is not an upgrade. Remember he was the one who moved Maxwell to a cushy prison camp. Neither is anyone trump would select. They are horrible if they agree to work for him.

I also am not interested in the inside gossip of how he told her she was fired, or the dynamics of their relationship. But I guess he still knows how to distract the media if nothing else.

who is usually really good on TV saying something like he doesn't have any knowledge of Blanche hiding the Epstein files or something like that. He seemed to think that Blanche would be an improvement, but I disagree.

evidence, thousands of witnesses, all those bank statements, and all those emails.

Trump was raping girls and he was part of
an international child sex trafficking ring.
Even after starting a war with Iran he is guilty end of story.

7. of course, but logic is not part of this. She's a POS, as they all are. There was no way for her to contain this.

I have zero sympathy for any of the assholes in his administration though.

8. Trump brought her into his administration because he knew she was a corrupt slime ball.

In 2013 he had his Trump Foundation send her Political Action Committee a 25k bribe
to stop Florida’s D o J where she was A.G. to not look into his fraudulent Trump University.
He has owned her ever since. The whole thing is so mobbed up it is crazy. He will find her
a good job where she won’t have to work in order to buy her silence.
