Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

No you see, DEI is when women and brown people.
It's actually part of this: https://youtu.be/434iXhWZg0M
They have difficulties finding prosecutors to do illegal shit. Please use the link in the video to leave comment on the government site. The more comments are there the harder it will be for them. The window for comments is closing ~~really soon~~ on April 6th.
Can't be disbarred if you're not a member of the bar.
They still require it (so they can still hide behind some legitimacy) but now inexperienced lawyers fresh out of school can be easily pressured especially when they are told that they won't get disbarred.
I for one, cannot wait for the shit show that is about to happen when a bunch of lawyers who do not know the law go in front of judges
It has been happening under Trump for a long time already. Lawyers making insane arguments, making mistakes that have never been made in history, purposely ignoring orders from judges, actively conspiring to lie, etc.
BANANA!
USA is a banana republic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic
Key elements are corruption, inequality, a large portion of the population is poor, exploitation of the people, and an oligarchy that are in control together with corrupt politicians and military. In the case of USA the military may be more the agencies like ICE, FBI NSA etc, but the term was coined 120 years ago, and back then the massive agencies of USA under federal control did not exist.
Crime is back on the menu, boyzzzzz
So you will hire them now, without experience, and pay them while they get experience, which doesn't help with what needs done right now, instead of hiring them after they have the experience?
Screening out the scrupulous
I feel like this article omits one important requirement for the job. At least for this particular DOJ.
This sounds like a great idea. Lowering the standards for hiring has never gone bad whatsoever.
Now hiring: Rubber Stamps with Legs
