I am worried about the resignations…they absolutely did the right thing BUT does that not make it easier for Frump and his band of criminals to come in and fill those positions with more incompetent maggots
Competent people warning us about Trump and Musk's minions did nothing to save Democracy and this country, the alarm bell was rang in 2016 and they didn't listen, unfortunately. The NY prosecuter that resigned over Trump was appointed and somehow voted for Trump but yet she is somehow a hero for resigning but voted for a convicted criminal...how does that work? I'm so tired of hearing people say that even Trump voters are mad at him. What's even worse are videos of Maga people that say they regret their vote for Trump even though they voted for him multiple times. They and the insurrectionists get more air time than the people that voted for Democracy.
To me, it's not that there's some great redemption in what they are doing, only that it shows the Felon's regime won't hold. I agree this isn't where all the airtime should go, we need to follow the path of competence & BEST ethics. We each will decide some people don't hold to that enough & aren't trustworthy, but it still has to be about principles. These people are not demonstrating that they are perfectly principled, but they are showing that principles hold, that holding to competence & ethics is what works. It's important that that be reported more than lies.
Many of the people resigning are, and always been, registered Republicans who are known to be very Conservative. Yes, they will be replaced by attorneys willing to bend or break the law. The attorney who has agreed to file the request to cancel the court case volunteered because even more attorneys were ready to resign. He will file the paperwork with the hope that the judge will refuse to accept cancelling the charges.
The attorney who volunteered to file said he was retiring soon anyway. She’s a member of the Federalist Society and clerked for Anthony Scalia. I doubt she voted for Harris or anyone else.
In a normal democracy there would be principled people in the Senate who would choose the citizens & country over party & one man. Senator Dirksen and a group of senators went to Nixon and told him straight up that they weren’t going down with his ship & would throw him overboard if he didn’t resign. Sadly that level of patriotism no longer exists in the GOP.
And that , Mr. Kaufman, is what an honorable person with morals, integrity, and trustworthiness do when it is needed. I am proud to call them United States Citizens.
Almost. Don't forget Kimberly Guilfoyle. But take a look at her before and after fotos. She's had some shockingly bad work done for someone whose former "fiancé" could afford better.
5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor.
The only hope for "checks and balances" is that lawsuits will continue to be filed fast and furiously against Dump and that federal judges will continue to serve as guardrails. If cases proceed to the SC, it anybody's guess about what will happen.
@ Phyllis, I hear you, however, mine is on backorder.
Afterthought: If Christopher Wray had stepped it up we would be rid of Dumpty. Wray slow-walked, slow-crawled, and delayed putting his fat butt in the hot seat. Had that not been the case Trump would be in prison.
MAGA Congress, what have they done? They’re submitting a new budget that adds $4T to national debt. How outrageous; further gutting the middle for the elites.
Democrats will REFUSE to raise the debt limit, and Trump is screwed! Musk realized he would have all his billion dollar contracts cancelled for cause, so he spent $300M to rig the election, knowing Trump would shut down investigations of his wrongdoing! Corruption at its worst! Musk must go! Fine him for his corrupt practices!
Or people who value themselves and their integrity will work under this lying disgusting lawless b[u]ffoon who's in the White House to try to change things where they think they can be most effective. I'd rather have someone in the WH trying to change things than someone sitting on their couch congratulating themselves for giving up their iPhone.
The USA will just have thousands of idiots who no nothing about there jobs in the future. Will take decades to undo what this guy with the orange face has accomplished. The dumbing down of our society.
I flat do not understand how they are getting away with doing these things. I am 65yrs old and I can not understand why he was not stopped from even running no less then being elected. I am sick over all of this crap.

Understood. The wife and I "took the cure;" i.e., we abandoned legacy media in favor of MTN. No regrets--and no going back either!
Same here, Ed.
The coward disappeared I see.
Spamming the Meidas Touch comments? Really?

We don't know that she voted for Trump.. That doesn't mean that her decision has no merit
I surely didn't vote for him.
Your point is what? It is important what they lawyer did. It is fucking more than you have done.
How do we know she voted for Trump? I do understand she is a republican. Can you please cite your source that verifies that she voted for Trump?
The attorney who volunteered to file said he was retiring soon anyway. She’s a member of the Federalist Society and clerked for Anthony Scalia. I doubt she voted for Harris or anyone else.
Why did they have to resign? Why couldn’t they just say no we won’t do it?
resigning is a way to take a principled stand. And, if they refused they would have been fired immediately.

Disappeared with John McCain.
Thank you!
And that , Mr. Kaufman, is what an honorable person with morals, integrity, and trustworthiness do when it is needed. I am proud to call them United States Citizens.
Then they probably would’ve been fired.
To have control over their actions and not be subject to termination?
Rather than being fired!? Thought that Was explained
Hoping they are reforming on their flank.😒
And rightfully so.
It will be interesting. I had read he had a hard time finding good attorneys in many states to help with the election if needed.
“They” are the ones with the fog - of the worse king - not you.
Why are you posting this here?

At 73 I got here for information. For 50 years I watched morning news. Not any more thanks to meidastouch. Our place to find folks to unite with.
Amen
Amen!
Ever notice that the only prominent women in the Republican Party are vapid blonde bimbos?

Self-esteem needed.
What's on the inside manifests itself on the outside. Fugly.
Well, sometimes. There are some very beautiful men and women who have ugly souls.
No souls aka lost souls.
Yup, exclusively!
If competent and ethical people resign and are replaced with people on a par with the current AG, what hope for “Checks and Balances”?
It exposes the people doing the harm by themselves, with no scapegoats to blame.
Ben, you have no idea what an unethical lawyer Pam Bimbo is! Just the worst!!!
But why did they have to resign? Why couldn’t they just refuse to do what was being asked of them.
Why are you asking same question as earlier. It was answered.
That wasn't nice of you. Be kind.

It was their choice, not the pseudo government’s choice.
Pseudo government indeed

Donald Trump needs to take a trip to Dallas in a convertible
I was thinking that too. OMG 😆
I would never actually advocate violence.
Now, now. 😄
Did you know there were over 46 attempts to get Hitler "out of office" ? That's persistence!
@ Daniel Jacobs ... "You ain't nevuh lied!"
She’s a GOP witch and a Trumpler tool.
His cabinet picks a clear reflection of his singular rule over America. No one to check power!

Yup. He'd better get his PSA checked.
Bondi is an incompetent moron
Perhaps, but that's irrelevant. She's blond!
Indeed… I would hate to play the game RANK THE CABINET SECRETARY.

We’re going to get them at some point. They’re asking for it.
Just hope we don’t crash before their day of reckoning.
The MAGA morons are giving their assassin bullets.
It’s extortion in front of the whole world.
But we got plastic straws back🤦🏻♀️. The poor sea turtles
Don’t forget the Gulf of America. Quite the accomplishments.
That was bigger than the Superbowl. Many people said…
People who value themselves and their integrity will not work under this lying disgusting lawless baffoon who's in the White House.
