    “Fox News host and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro” just doesn’t have the same outrage grabbing ring to it, does it?

      Yeah, we should also add reckless speeder, visible alcoholic, election-denying liar, and Trump supporter too.

      Oh, and FYI- those are negative qualities.

        That’s fine if they’re true - I have no idea who this woman is or what she’s done. All I know is that she is a prosecutor so is qualified for the job of prosecutor.

    That’s historically on par. Always appoint the least qualified sycophant for the job.

    This is like an Adam Sandler movie only somehow dumber and less funny

        Fair enough, and Rob Schneider is an actor.

        That said, I suppose for the purpose of having a proven greedy sycophant in that position, she may be most qualified from the bucket he has available.

        I guess I am thinking on more objective terms, like, an AG that would follow the established rules and conventions. Adhering to the constitution and rule of law. If her recent behavior on Fox is any indication, I won’t set my expectations very high.

          Yes, Rob Schneider is an actor. He is perfectly qualified to be hired in an acting role, just like how this prosecutor is perfectly qualified to be hired in a prosecutor role.

            Yes. I get your point. My perspective was one of seeing another partisan hack, who herself was a defendant of the successful Smartmatic lawsuit because of her stolen election lies, being chosen to assume this role. I concede that defamation doesn’t exactly disqualify her.

            I got it in my head that a prosecutor, especially one at that position, should probably be held to a higher standard, but in retrospect I guess that technically doesn’t really matter.

            You win

      The 2nd amendment is for tyranny. What we have is stupidity, which the voters have chosen, and celebrated. It’s disgusting, but no one is going to break down the white house doors and open fire because another ignorant racist pawn was placed into a strategic position. No one in Switzerland, Australia or France would attempt to murder their PM for selecting a moron as chief justice either.

        What about if citizens are detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process, all while blatantly ignoring the orders of judges?

        Where is the line where people will act?

          The line for most people is their front door. When it affects them personally, they will act. The USA did not enter world war II to save the Jews. Most people are selfish cowards, including all of the armchair quarterbacks claiming that they would march into the Pentagon and start blowing holes in corrupt Congress people if only they had the right to own guns.

          There’s so many reasons that it’s hard to focus on all of them. Hell, I’ve been paying attention and there is so much shady shit being done that I would have to keep a list.

          This exactly is my point.

    Why don’t they just make Fox News part of the governement. We can watch all their faces melt from the evil they create.

    Talk ever see the movie Devils Advocate. You know how peoples face take on a kind of hideous look like their personalities are reflected in their face. I’m fucking Charlize Theron over here.
