I don't actually see the issue with that.
To become Attorney General?

He's probably trying to force Kelly to resign now that Pruitt is out

(Including on the Northern Border, with Canadian boats being appraised by border patrol).I'm not one for hyperbole but a systematic policy of arbitrary and cruel vexations is legitimately worrying.

Jennings6442 days ago (edited)I went to join his facebook yesterday and was blocked by FACEBOOK, they then contacted me via facebook telling me I had to delete anything political before I could carry on using my facebook page! They took me through a process to delete certain comments I'd made and two links that were polictical videos. I also had to redo my password to a new one and then they let me back on...What did it all mean...Well, because THEY got ME to do the deleting it stopped them looking like THEY were stopping all content that had anything to do with polictics. Someone needs to look into this and pass it on to congress, because Facebook are cheating people from having FREE SPEECH on there...You will be blocked and have to remove anything political on your pages before being allowed to continue using it...That's playing nasty Zuckerberg...
I’ve come to think that the key text for understanding our era is the 1997 movie Air Bud: “There’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball.”
But the most detailed case against the Return to Normalcy—let’s call it the Normal Is Over side of the debate—is advanced by the political scientist David Faris in his new book, It’s Time to Fight Dirty: How Democrats Can Build a Lasting Majority in American Politics.Faris’ response to the Normalcy program is that there is no value in conserving a burning house. The endangered state of American liberal democracy, he argues, calls for emergency steps from Democrats and the left. They should take advantage of legal and constitutional silences to “transform American politics in a lasting progressive direction,” Faris writes. “Doing so will require party leaders to pursue policy changes that will be ridiculed by their opponents as outrageous affronts to democratic decency and received by their own voters with puzzlement or even shock. They need to do it anyway.”The list of those changes is dizzying. Grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, and break California in seven, with the goal of adding 16 new Democrats to the Senate. Expand the Supreme Court and the federal courts, packing them with liberal judges. Move to multi-member House districts to roll back the effects of partisan gerrymandering. Pass a new Voting Rights Act, including nationwide automatic voter registration, felon enfranchisement and an end to voter ID laws. Grant citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants, creating a host of new Democratic-leaning voters: “Republicans have always feared that immigration would change the character of American society. Democrats should reward them with their very worst nightmare.”All of these steps, Faris points out, could be achieved without amending the Constitution. They would rely on new legislation, but more important, on Democrats abandoning any lingering commitment to a norm about power: That legislation cannot have the explicit goal of securing a lasting partisan advantage.
It’s easy to caricature Democratic willingness to match these tactics as simply a case of playground logic: “Turnabout is fair play.” The law professor Orin Kerr expressed that sentiment last month. “Few things are more corrosive in politics,” he wrote, “than the conviction that you have been wronged so much that you’re justified in breaking all the rules to get even.” But norms are only norms when they are mutual; fairness is only fair when it’s shared. Democrats aren’t justified in breaking norms because they’ve been “wronged.” They are justified because the current system has ceased to function.
In an interview with Vox, Faris was asked whether he saw an “end game” to the spiral of norm-violation....
I do believe we’ll have to find a way to end this procedural war at some point, but now is not that time. Republicans need to know what it’s like to be on the other end of normative violations.

He didn't lose the debate on the merits of arguments. Pence is just good at putting on his kindly old sage face. The best is when he's standing behind Trump making that face of profound concentration that radiates patriotism as dear leader is spitballs his pearls of wisdom.

You can't possibly lose a debate with a religious zealot who sold his soul to Donald Trump unless your name is Tim Kaine.

So what's Mr. Worldwide up to these dayshttps://twitter.com/ByronYork/status/1015226979694628865I guess screwing over Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs is pretty risky huh.
Speaking of prosecutorial powers, the government is dropping its remaining J20 cases. That's over a year of trying to prosecute people who protested the inauguration, close to 200 defendants, and I believe a grand total of one felony guilty plea.Oddly, the people who have been the most vocal about threats to free speech during this time seem to have missed this.
