Bondi

This Week’s Greatest Hits; Plus Pigeons


POST 1273


Iran Update

Trump says we’ve obliterated Iran’s navy, air force, missiles and drones. Nevertheless, on Friday Iran shot down two of our war planes and one of the pilots still has not been brought back to safety. So much for obliteration.

Update: It was reported overnight that the airman has been recovered.

That Trump is lying is no surprise. That anyone would believe that he is a proper and effective war leader is amazing. Congress can stop this madness. Where are the people with a spine? How much needless criminal death and destruction will it take for them to learn to stand up once again?

Pam Bondi Dumped!

Yes, another wholly incompetent Trump appointee has received marching orders via social media to vacate the premises. Bondi is gone. It’s reported that Todd Blanche, acting Attorney General and proud fixer for Ghislaine Maxwell, moved into the AG office immediately after Bondi slammed the door on her way out. Blanche found the Epstein files still on her desk, along with her 7 dead house plants that had recently been ripped from their pots.

She was excellent at being a mean girl. That should have pleased Trump. And she wasn’t dumped for not embarrassingly fawning over Trump, because she always does. So, why was she dumped?

Jonathan Diaz of The Contrarian explained that, “Of the 30 lawsuits filed by former Attorney General Pam Bondi to steal these [state voting] records, the Department of Justice has lost all of them.” Perhaps her total failure to get away with cheating in court displeased Trump. Perhaps she didn’t prosecute enough of the innocent people on Trump’s hate list, even though there was no case to pursue in any of them and grand juries consistently shut her down because  – wait for it – there was no case to pursue.

She was dumped in order to better cover up Trump’s (likely) felonious acts related to the Epstein pedophilia and sex trafficking case.

As always, it’s all about Trump. Not justice. Not the Constitution. Not the people. Not catching bad guys and putting them in jail. Not upholding the rule of law, keeping the country safe or protecting civil rights. It’s not about enforcing federal laws or ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice or defending the interests of the United States. She was in that office because it was good for Trump until it wasn’t. Now she’s gone because that’s better for Trump. So much for justice.

As good as it feels to be rid of that democracy killing, fundamentally corrupt sell-out, Bondi’s ouster is just another manipulation by Trump. She’s scheduled to be deposed in Congress under oath in a couple of weeks about the Epstein documents and DOJ actions to pursue justice that never happened. Now that she’s out of office she can’t be made to produce any of the Epstein related materials that she’s withheld, covered up and lied about because she no longer controls them. Trump loves that.

That civics experiment is complete. Now we know how much destruction of justice one attorney general can do in just 14 months.

But she can be prosecuted for perverting the law and lying to Congress. Watch for that immediately after January 20, 2029.

Who’s Next?

ICE has been persecuting, beating, killing, incarcerating and renditioning innocent people. You know that, but consider this.

In their quest for toxic manhood, these thugs have preyed upon Hispanics, Browns, Blacks and anyone who doesn’t look to be of northern European stock. Now we learn that Trump’s EEOC* has issued a subpoena to the University of Pennsylvania to produce the names and contact information of employees who are members of Jewish groups or organizations. Someone in the Trump administration justifies this invasion of privacy claiming this is somehow for the purpose of dealing with antisemitism on campus. I’ll leave it to you to figure out some warped explanation of how this singling out is somehow good for Jews.

What’s worse is that a Pennsylvania district court judge ordered the university to comply with the subpoena. In researching this issue I did not find that the judge wore a pointed KKK hood or an SS uniform instead of a judicial robe. His decision will be appealed.

But wait just a second.

From the Łódź Ghetto

First, the government isn’t entitled to such personal information or anything that smacks of a violation of the First Amendment, as this intrusion does. Second, the university rightly doesn’t request, amass or keep such records. Third, this is creepily like Jews in Europe in the late 1930s having to wear yellow arm bands with the Star of David to aid in identification and persecution of them.

I’ve told you before that the Trump government going after Blacks and Browns was just the first step into Christian nationalism. A purging of all non-lily white Christians is needed for that, so Jews are next on their list of who goes to concentration camps. That should creep you out big time, but there’s more.

Next will be Muslims, then Asians, then Catholics. Yes, Catholics, too. That’s because these Christian nationalists are actually Protestant nationalists. They hate everyone and everything that is not exactly like themselves.

Still, they say they are Christian nationalists, so let’s test the Christian part of that.

Christian nationalist: What would Jesus, the Prince of Peace, say about your hatred, your discrimination, your violence and the rest of what you’re doing? What part of your hatred and cruelty would He endorse? Where’s the quotation from the Bible where Jesus tells you to hate others, violate them, torture them, imprison them and expel them?

Sadly, I bet you can find some deeply integrity compromised minister to find a passage in the Bible that he can twist and torture into something supporting your cruelty. After all, slavery is in the Bible. Betcha you believe that it should be legal here right now. I do, too. You be the slave and I’ll be the master.

A Pigeon’s Ode To Trump
.

Banner with Trump’s face hanging on the Department of Justice Building. It reads, “Make America Safe Again.”

The truth is not kind, it is just what we find,

As even we bird brains have said.

We pigeons fly by your long drape in the sky

And we laugh as we shit on your head.

.

There’s no place we claim that we cannot defame,

‘Cus we don’t give a damn ’bout your star.

We see your pathetic crazed clawing for credit

And want you to boil in hot tar.

.

All pigeons can see from our roost in a tree

Or from anywhere, ‘cus  we agree,

That we know the right word, that you’re just a dumb turd.

Gold plating can’t mask what we see.

.

You’re messed in the head and you will be ’til dead,

Your dementia is doomed to get worse.

You’ll dribble your spit and forget your worst bits,

But we know, so we’ll shit on your hearse.

.

Good riddance to you will be long overdue,

As the Earth breathes a sigh of relief.

All the years of repair is just something we’ll bear

As the price to restore our belief.

.

You’ll be remembered as worst-est dissembler,

By far the most cruel and depraved.

Generations from now folks will wonder at how,

And we will still shit on your grave.

.

Perhaps you can see there’s a story that’s key,

It’s a message that is its own bit.

We all despise you and everything you do,

‘Cus you’re just a pile of shit.

____________________________________________________

* That’s the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Odd that still exists, since Trump is all about eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion and has squashed that everywhere he can. But, of course, here he’s using it as a tool of discrimination.

Ah, now I get it.

So Many Lies



I like a piece of description of Pam Bondi penned by Steve Schmidt.

Pamela Jo Bondi is a bad acid trip come to life, a powerful clown, a demented skank, and a dark comedy genius who will be laughed at in every room she ever walks into for the rest of her life.

Pam Bondi will die as a disbarred lawyer and a national disgrace, a historic villain and a lawless fascist who covered up the crimes of child rapists, while attempting to destroy American democracy.

Source: Rick Wilson’s post The Friday Brief, February 13, 2026

Not crazy about Schmidt’s use of the word “skank” – would have preferred “sleaze bag” – but otherwise his description is just fine. I say that because I watched much of the hearing and was struck by and offended by many of her finely honed and demented skills. It was embarrassing for our nation because we saw her in her fully puffed up contempt for reality, respect and decency. The entire world saw that.

  1. She did an amazing job of sucking up to President Trump, declaring him “the greatest president in our nation’s history.” Everyone, even Trump’s supporters, knows that is utterly false under any definition of reality, but she sucked up that way just the same.
  2. She continuously displayed her world class arrogance that long ago earned her lifetime membership in the Mean Girls Club. Example: she made a big show of ignoring Democrats by shuffling through papers the entire time a Democrat was addressing her. That plus her snide attacks and more should earn her a contempt of Congress citation.
  3. She was masterful in not answering the questions of Democrats on the panel when their questions headed in a direction she didn’t like, which was nearly always. However, she made great eye contact with Republicans and floated into a dreamy place when answering their soft ball questions. Utterly useless answers. Utterly useless witness.
  4. She set a new bar in speaking extensively on issues and events having nothing to do with the point of the hearing or even vaguely relating to the questions she was asked, irrespective of the questions or questioners. Filibustering as an art form.

That was Bondi replying to an Epstein question, as survivors sat behind her ignored and dismissed by the A.G. and the entire Department of Justice. Yes, really.

On January 24 of this year Alex Pretti was using his rights as an American to protest ICE’s brutality to Minnesotans. Pretti had bent to help a woman who had been pepper sprayed directly in her face and eyes by an ICE agent when ICE agents grabbed him, threw him to the ground and six of them completely subdued him. We know this because we all have seen the videos, as has Bondi. We also saw two of the ICE goons draw their guns and shoot and kill unarmed, subdued, passive Mr. Pretti 10 times. In his back.

Within minutes both Trump and the puppy murderer Kristi Noem declared to the public that Mr. Pretti was a terrorist, that he was there to murder as many ICE agents as he could, that he was a clear and present danger, all in contradiction of what everyone saw.

Bondi, on the other hand, used the murder to attempt to extort voter information from Gov. Tim Walz (MN). Not a word of empathy for Pretti or those who cared about him. I guess as our highest law enforcement official she doesn’t care too much about Mr. Pretti or justice, the rule of law or democracy. indeed, she refused to look at or acknowledge the Epstein survivors seated behind her, even when invited to do so. How does it happen that some are completely without empathy?

For at least the past year Bondi has worked hard to cover up the crimes and the identities of the Epstein pedophile players. She has continuously suppressed evidence and lied about it. She has directly violated the law by displaying the names of victims and has covered up the names of Epstein’s co-conspirators, the child rapists and traffickers. She is effectively an accomplice after the fact in the crimes of pedophilia, trafficking of girls as young as 9 years old and the rest. Instead of being our nation’s chief enforcer of justice, she is our chief cover up criminal, second only to Donald Trump.

Just another day in the Trump Administration

Paraphrasing what was said long ago about Richard Nixon, when Bondi was a little girl and her little girlfriends (assuming she had any) were getting Christmas gifts of dolls and cute stuffed animals, Bondi was given a briefcase. And she liked it.

Just another day in the Trump Administration – Again
.

President Donald Trump has been claiming that he stopped eight wars, but The Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette published a fine report issued by the Associated Press that sussed out the reality of Trump’s claim. Do read the piece, but to save you some time, the jury is back with a “nuh-uh.”

There were some clashes about which he couldn’t keep his mouth shut, but Trump didn’t end any of them.

He claims he strong armed India and Pakistan to stop their clash over the Kashmir region that has been ongoing for over 79 years. But India says that he didn’t do anything but flap his lips meaninglessly and that the conflict isn’t settled. So much for stopping eight wars.

Karoline Leavitt admonishing reporters who just don’t get it that up is down.

Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado presented Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal. But the Nobel Institute says, “[o]nce a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others.” That means that it’s still Machado’s, regardless of whose small hands are on it.

Of course, the Nobel Institute’s rules won’t stop Trump from falsely claiming he won a Nobel Peace Prize for – what else? – stopping eight wars.

White House Press Secretary and official mean girl liar, Karoline Leavitt, has exploded with phony hyperbole over this, keeping this Trump lie ongoing, just like the rest of them.

Satire So Real

From Andy Borowitz, Feb. 10:

[Trump] remained bitter about the Super Bowl halftime show, telling reporters that “Bad Bunny took a job away from an American bunny.”
