Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

You missed a few.

  1. Pardon himself for all federal crimes
  2. Appoint Aileen Cannon as AG.
  3. Order Cannon to fire Jack Smith.
  4. Pardon Steve Bannon
  5. Make up some new federal power to somehow interfere in state cases to have those charges dismissed. And keep in mind he has a united Congress and Supreme Court that will just make it legal by some twisted interpretation of the Supremacy clause or something.
  6. Have the rulings on the E. Jean Carroll case reversed and get his money back.
  7. Make Truth Social the official method of communcation for Presidential matters, causing his stocks to skyrocket and for him to rake in billions.
  8. Leave any Cabinet positions related to education unfilled and begin the shutdown of the Department of Education
  9. Appoint RFK to oversee healthcare, eliminating Obamacare and banning about every medical breakthrough we've made in the modern age, causing the return of serious diseases such as measles.
  10. Advocate for a national abortion ban.
  11. Begin the implementation of Project 2025.

No way he makes Cannon AG, that's a job that requires actual competence to get anything done. See also: Merrick Garland.

He's going to give Cannon Thomas's spot on the Supreme Court in 6-12 months when he announces his retirement.

See also Bill Barr.

You think Trump gives a shit if she does anything beyond sit there and play with herself all day? She's there to take his orders and that's it.

Though I do agree, a SCOTUS seat is also a very real possibility. But she's getting one or the other.

Grinding the DoJ to a halt isn't the goal this time. He needs someone competent enough to wield the agency like a hammer in order to go after rivals and punish dissidents. He may not be smart enough to pick which candidate can actually achieve that, but failure will be noticed.
