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!

The point isn’t to win. It’s to put on a show. Republicans don’t do actual work.
At one time in the past, being a lawyer for the government would make any parent proud. Now it's like being an enemy against the good citizens of your own country.
Gee, whatever happened to wanting a meritocracy?
[Defense attorneys grinning, and rubbing their hands gleefully]
We're SLASHING DEI so we can FINALLY hire Lawyers WITHOUT any Lawyer Experience!
-Republicans?
Well, at least there isn't any homo and no nCLANGers!
Yeah all my homies hate clang. #GCC4lyfe
edit: is joke. Clang's compile-time analysis/instrumentation injection and bytecode inspection is cool as hell. Also interop between languages and stuff. Work uses GCC though, so my hands are tied
No, gol-dangit dag-nabbit, I-uh said the sheriff was a niBONGGGGGG
Was not aware they had an experience requirement
Finally my diploma from the Arkansas School of Real Good Lawyerin' is going to be of use.
Oh sure, that'll get those cases won
I mean, the Secretary of Education is a wrestling promoter and she’s by no means the only completely unqualified member of the administration. The entire cabinet is like that: from MMA fighters to conspiracy theorists - it’s a grotesque, full-blown clown show.
But hey, it won't be easy to find even halfway decent lawyers for this job anyway, given that working for this attorney general will most likely make you liable to prosecution.
The FBI director is a podcaster, the HHS secretary is...whatever RFK Jr did before (the word "failson" comes to mind).
Grifter.
The word you're looking for is grifter.
I think his educational qualifications were as an environmental lawyer. But failson fits him on both a practical and spiritual level, though king of the crackheads would also work.
"Remember how difficult it was for you to pass the bar? Come work for us and we'll get you disbarred before you know what hit you!"
Rubbish. Next you'll be telling me that the Secretary of WAR is an alcoholic, ~~nazi~~Christian nationalist tattoo covered, pundit from Faux News...
UNPOSSIBLE!!
"As long as you're breathing, well take you."
"Nah, I'll pass."
We're so fucked. Three more years of this crap, at least.
As long as we don't start appointing Judges with zero experience this is a win.
They're running out of lawyers
LOL, of course they did.
Everything about this stupid hack and his administration is total clown shoes.
including the ginormous Florsheims
Yes, the fact that they are wearing gigantic shoes is very apropos.
So like...same as the other moronic tools they've been hiring. Got it.
They had experience in primary school. This next round is going to be fully illiterate.
You can't be held back by the constitution if you can't read the constitution.
Probably because they don't find enough qualified people who drop morals and regards for the law when told to do so.
Nobody's willing to take a contempt charge for the planned incompetence of their bosses
Rebranding DEI to "didn't educate itself"
Don’t Ever Improve
Bwhaha.
This is gonna end well.
I think this is related: https://youtu.be/434iXhWZg0M
Please leave a comment under that change as directed: https://www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ-OAG-2026-0001-0001
They have problems getting experienced prosecutors do illegal shit, so this is the strategy to achieve that.
What do you mean,they hire by merit? Remember? When they cut "revered" generals/members for news hosts
Don't they still need to pass the Bar exam in the state where they want to go to court?
“We don’ need no stinkin’ badges!!!”
