Pam Bondi Kissed Trump's Ass & It Still Wasn't Enough to Save Her Job

 

During Pam Bondi's 14-month tenure as United States Attorney General, she displayed an extraordinary degree of obsequiousness to President Trump.

South Park infamously lampooned Bondi with having shit on her nose. 

Yet for all her loyalty to Trump, it wasn't enough as he fired Bondi from her post.

Unlike Kristi Noem, Bondi will not be demoted to government job with a snazzy title with little authority.

All Trump had to say for Bondi on Truth Social was that "she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future."

Well, maybe she'll end up working for the Qataris again and have some nice things to say about Hamas.

In the meantime, Bondi is desperately hoping Trump will change his mind stating she will "continue fighting" for him.

Therein lies the problem. Trump doesn't think Bondi fought hard enough for him. She likely sealed her fate during her disastrous congressional testimony back in February over the Epstein files which only heightened the perception she was covering up for Trump's behavior during the time he palled around with Epstein. Worse still, was Bondi's unwillingness to acknowledge Epstein's victims who were present at the hearing.

Bondi's abrupt dismissal might have more to do with the fact that she was scheduled to soon testify again on Capitol Hill in front of the House Oversight Committee on April 14th. Dismissal or not, Bondi will likely have to testify once more unless House Republicans should decide to quash the subpoena.

It has long been said that Trump has sought the DoJ to act as his personal law firm. Well, Bondi's successor (at least for now) will be Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche who, well, had been Trump's personal attorney until being appointed to his present position following the 2024 election.

Yet personal attorney or not, Blanche might prove only to be acting successor. Speculation abounds that Trump might move former NY GOP Congressman, gubernatorial candidate and current EPA Director Lee Zeldin into the role.

Whoever Trump ultimately names as Bondi's permanent successor, he/she will need to be able to defend Trump at all costs and do so without making Trump look bad. Pam Bondi succeeded at the former and failed at the latter. All it cost Bondi was her last shred of dignity.

It is Fitting That Trump Would Address the Nation on April Fool's Day

 

I did not see all of President Trump's White House address ostensibly concerning Iran.

But I didn't really need to see it all to catch its essence.

I would estimate I watched between 5 to 10 minutes of his speech.

In that short time, Trump utilized his usual catchphrases - "like never seen before", "never been anything like it and "like you wouldn't believe."

And therein lies the problem.

I don't believe him. Well, at least mostly.

Of course, I am hardly alone in thinking this way.

In which case, it is fitting that Trump should choose to address the nation on April Fool's Day.

In between talking about the purported military triumph against the Iranian regime, Trump found the time to claim we had "the highest stock market ever", with "no inflation" and "larger refunds than ever thought possible" due to the Big Beautiful Bill.

As to said military triumph, Trump said it would be a great "investment in our children's and grandchildren's future."

Although Trump has concluded the Iranian regime is no longer a threat and that we have beaten them, we will be there at least another two to three weeks.

Trump incredulously claimed that he "never said regime change was our goal" when he encouraged Iranians to "take over your government."

Trump reiterated that regime change had taken place in Iran because "all their original leaders are dead" while characterizing the "newer group" as more "moderate and reasonable."

Well, maybe this so-called new Iranian regime is more amenable to Trump because he lifted sanctions against Iranian oil thus giving them a lifeline.

As I argued a week ago, "Oh, there might be some new faces, but the regime is exactly as it was before."

The Iranian regime still regards the United States as the "great Satan" and views Israel as "little Satan." While they may very well be diminished in their capacity to act against the United States and Israel, as long as the Iranian regime remains in its present form, it will bide its time and will strike when neither we nor Israel see it coming.

It must be said that the April Fool's joke of Trump's address is on us for having once again put him into the position where, in between publicly delighting in the death of a former FBI Director, musing about withdrawing from NATO and attending a Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, he can make White House speeches in which he describes B-52 bombers as "beautiful."

We have a fool for a President because we were foolish enough to elect him President - again.
