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

Attorney General Pam Bondi has moved into military housing after facing growing threats from cartels and irate Americans, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Bondi moved out of her Washington, D.C. apartment and moved into a military base in the area. The report noted that Bondi has been facing numerous threats since the Trump administration's decision to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in January. At the same time, a growing number of Americans are increasingly frustrated with Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to the report.

"Ms. Bondi is the latest administration official to move into heavily guarded quarters at military facilities in or near the nation’s capital after citing danger from criminals, adversaries overseas and protesters," the report reads in part.

Here's hoping that Iran's reach is long enough to put a Shahed on her forehead.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 26 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

Good.

Hope she lives the rest of her life in fear, particularly the part after she isn't allowed to remain on a military base anymore.

She can flee the country. Then we can hunt her down like we hunted Nazis down after WW2.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

Let's not go the vigilante way. Everyone of these psychopaths deserve their Neurenberg moment, and fuck, will I be watching that...

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 hour ago

I look forward to seeing the trials for these people. I have a LGBT teenager and have felt actual fear and worry just from her going to pride events. Its petty and hateful, but I want them to be scared. I want them to be arrested and literally worried about prison ... or worse. These people know what they are doing. No one accidentally makes a Nazi salute.

[–] HermitBee@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

Then we can hunt her down like we hunted Nazis down after WW2.

You mean to rehire her as a diplomat or something? I'm not sure that's a good idea, tbh.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 4 points 3 hours ago

hunt her down…

Well, you need to regain control of the country before any of that happens.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 41 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

"Leaders move into walled compounds" has to be on the dystopian dictatorship checklist.

[–] MerryJaneDoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Absolutely.

She's not running scared. She's helping to create a new normal. When election season is in full swing, the oligarchs will proclaim 'oh, it's so dangerous, we can't even be in public. only ICE can save the elections.'

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The speed of the whole thing is quite the terror.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I'm hoping the speed at which they're trying to do this is a factor in their downfall.

[–] end_stage_ligma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Free for them. We foot the bill.

[–] Man_kind@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 hours ago

The royalty of course needs to live in the keep, where it is safe.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

is that now all of them? do fucking all of them live in a military base?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 3 hours ago
[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 12 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Where you gonna live in two years Pam?

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

with trumps track record of firing staff, it could be far less than that too...

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 9 points 5 hours ago

I hope in 2 years the trials finish and they start hanging from the crow of the Statue of Liberty.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

With how many Americans hate her, I'm not sure living is going to be on the menu for her.

She has a large apparatus protecting her now. That won't always be there.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

You ever start feeding raccoons, for like years, and then suddenly stop? Even if yours aren't 60lbs like ours, you're gonna notice they get a little too personal.

I don't know why I thought of this. It must be the masks.

[–] entropiclyclaude@lemmy.wtf 7 points 5 hours ago

Because they’re planning or allowing an attack to hit the US so they can cancel the midterms?

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago

May all of them live in fear for as long as they breathe.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 19 points 8 hours ago

Stephen Miller moved into das bunker a year ago.

That will make her easier to arrest in after the midterms.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Except that the midterms are going to take three years to hand count and finish litigation. Mark my words this midterm election will be drawn out for years. It's the easiest way for Trump to stay in office. Drag the midterms out for so long the general election comes up and the midterms will be pointless. Then drag that election out too for years and presto, president for life without writing a new constitution.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 hours ago

Gee wouldn’t it be awful if we lost Pam Bondi 😩

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

makes sense. millers jaw and ass are getting sore and they took away her sky bower and the troops need to be entertained. win - win - win.

[–] Ellvix@lemmy.world 98 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Or, hear me out, she's pretending to be under threat to justify more violence

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

Or this not only serves the narrative but is also pre-emptive: they already know some even worse shit will go down very soon - because they will be responsible for it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

I equate that to what Ghislaine Maxwell is experiencing right now. They are both locked down, but not prison.

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 170 points 17 hours ago

How to tell your policies are popular and you’re doing a great job governing

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 122 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

There aren't any cartel threats

Also, this shows it feels fear. Keep it up

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 16 points 7 hours ago

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

What exactly does Maleficent have to worry about?

[–] kittykillinit@lemy.lol 10 points 12 hours ago

I hope they get her.

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 11 points 12 hours ago
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 68 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck this cunt, I really hope we get some justice and she goes to prison. But until then I hope she feels scared every waking and even when she sleeps.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 13 points 8 hours ago

Fuck this cunt

I wouldnt fuck her even with your dick mate.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Don't the cartels know the DOW ~~is~~ was over 50,000 dol... over 50,000 points?

Did they give her a review for her acting?

[–] definitely_AI@feddit.online 4 points 7 hours ago

6% on RottenTomatoes.

[–] acantharea@lemmy.world 31 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Hmmmm how many of these people are on military properties now?
