    Recently, the U.S. attorney in New Jersey (Trump’s former personal attorney Alina Habba) launched an investigation into the state of New Jersey for its alleged “obstruction” of Trump’s deportation agenda.

    Alina Habba is a federal prosecutor now?

    Alina Habba who said, “Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’."?

    Alina Habba, who has never been a prosecutor before? That Alina Habba is now the chief federal prosecutor and law enforcement official in New Jersey?

    The one in Trump’s losing $500 million civil fraud case who didn’t even seem to know the federal rules of evidence, and whose only skill at the trial seemed to be completely undermining herself and her case?

    Jesus christ.

      I know what you mean, but it’s a given they’re gonna be evil, so the best case scenario is they’re evil and incompetent.

        Oh, I agree completely.

        But I remember seeing her in 2023 and thinking, “Trump is scraping the bottom of the barrel now that nobody competent will work with him. This is truly clown-level, the bottom 1% of attorneys.” In a fair timeline she wouldn’t even be an attorney - she would work for 20 years to peak as a manager of the McDonald’s that Trump is a lifer janitor at.

        I should have known - I had similar thoughts about Sarah Huckabee Sanders when she was press secretary, and now she’s [checks notes]… Governor of Arkansas.

    I went on two dates with a data analyst from the DoJ in 2021. On the second date, when she went full mask off Nazi, I realized

    1. America is VERY cooked
    2. Our ancestors really had to work hard to find suitable partners. These days with dating apps you can review a person’s resume and get some idea if you’re compatible before you find out if their butt is nice, but our ancestors were just out in public, looking at butts, and THEN asking for credentials

    Department of justice being actually fair? Never heard of that, business as usual.

      What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you pretending that this isn’t a sharp and catastrophic divergence from the (admittedly deeply flawed) system that was in place before this year? Your false equivalence is incredibly blatant. You are arguing in bad faith.
