Trump Demands That Bondi Move ‘Now’ to Prosecute Foes

Who really knows how smart chimps are?

Haven't you see a number of "Planet of the Apes" movies?

Health care is an important issue. If someone the Fox "News" Newsmax crowd can learn the truth, that they will lose health insurance if Republicans have their way,

Health care is an important issue. If somehow the Fox "News" Newsmax crowd can learn the truth, that they will lose health insurance if Republicans have their way, they will turn and put the blame where it belongs, on Republicans who care more about the super rich than the rest of us.

So what is going to happen if the population is split over who gets blamed for the shutdown? What are the political implications?
FoxNews is not going to agree the GOP is to blame for a shutdown.
We all know that.

Of course they won't, even if deep down they know it's true. That's my point; the Fox "News" viewer will never know the truth. They will complain when their health care cost goes up, but they won't ever know why.

Yet I’ve noted that I think that what President Trump is doing is wrong. I’ve made no defense.
But his actions are certainly not the only abuse of power we’ve seen from frivolous prosecutions, to full-out violations of free speech on social media, and seeking to debank opponents.
I have no problem pointing out this administrations wrongs, I’m not the one in denial.

IMO, "both-sides do it" is a defense of Trump. Because yes, history is complex. Administrations are vast. Even the most self-consciously lawful and pro-democratic administrations have committed sins. But comparing Trump's DOJ with Biden's DOJ is like comparing America's treatment of prisoners in WWII with Japan's. There's a structural difference based on core beliefs and intentions.

Here's a recent example of what I mean.

Beginning in April, Pulte made criminal referrals of Trump foes for mortgage fraud. Grand juries are currently considering them. The targets include Letitia James, Senator Adam Schiff, and Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook--all "enemies" of Trump. These criminal referrals were highly unusual and obviously selective. Why do I write that? Because an unbiased and even-handed review of mortgage records would have revealed inaccurate records across the board.

Examples:

• The Associated Press, citing a review of public documents, reported in July that two Republican officials, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela, a state senator in Texas, had signed mortgages that “contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates.”
• According to a Reuters report from September 2025, Mark and Julie Pulte have claimed homestead exemptions in both Michigan and Florida since 2020, allowing them to pay lower property taxes in both locations.
  • When contacted by Reuters, a Michigan tax official stated that the exemption would be revoked and the Pultes would be issued revised tax bills with penalties and interest.
  • A Reuters exclusive also revealed that the Pultes' Michigan home was being rented out, which violates the rules of the homestead exemption.
  • Public records indicate that the Florida exemption saved the family an estimated $158,000 in 2025 alone.
• ProPublica found that at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages.

Surprise! None of these people have been referred by Pulte.

• Just days after Trump urged his Justice Department to prosecute James Comey and forced out the prosecutor who resisted charging the president’s political foes, the DOJ indicted Comey.

This is just outrageous. And I (and most Dem's) don't even like Comey. If he'd just played it straight in 2016, Trump almost certainly wouldn't have won the election.

President Donald Trump told reporters he expects other political opponents to be prosecuted after the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.
“It’s not a list, but I think there will be others,” Trump told CNN’s Kevin Liptak on Friday as he departed the White House for the Ryder Cup in New York.
Trump added, “I mean, they’re corrupt. These were corrupt, radical left Democrats. … No, there will be others. That’s my opinion. They weaponized the Justice Department like nobody in history. What they’ve done is terrible, I hope, frankly, there are others because you can’t let this happen to a country.”

Nothing like this has occurred in my lifetimes. And I'm 70.

I guess you are insinuating it's the CNN/MSNBC listener who is better informed to know what the truth is.

Some chimps are a lot smarter than others.
Maybe Trump is one of the smarter ones.

Trump is one of those who flash their red ass alot & flings their shit.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

Working for Trump is a legacy destroyer irrespective of who the poor bastard is.

Anyone that willingly works for Traitor Trump deserves what they get.

No pity.

Go to zoos much?
It's good you're able to stay out of Trump's range of fire.

CNN is absolutely/objectively a more reliable source for news than Fox, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering the fact that most of Fox’s on air talent are “personalities”, not journalists.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

And who believe anything Trump says?

Only the very stupidest people.

 

[jaypatriot]

Only the very stupidest people.

You're right. Only stupid people will take Trump at his word.
And, when he does something, you need to figure out why he did it and whether it was worth it.

Look, Left-wing cable news already has you in their corner because you detest Trump. So why even think about what Fox News is saying on issues?
You're an Independent who doesn't like FoxNews. Why not just call yourself a Liberal/Progressive. You would be more credible.
You are obviously comfortable being in the minority - like the Democrat Party.
I guess enough people (after so many decades) have not received the memo on which cable networks are the most reliable source for news.
Maybe you should create a web site telling everyone they're watching the wrong cable news networks.
Surely I'm not going to tell them their news channels are so far behind in collective viewership. Don't try to figure it out just accept the fact the Fox News is more popular then CNN and MSNBC combined.

And, when he does something, you need to figure out why he did it …

Traitor Trump only does things to boost his own personal wealth and/or to stroke his own uber fragile ego, or to own the “radical left/Democrats”.

… and whether it was worth it.

Nothing Traitor Trump or his cultists can claim as positive was accomplished by justifiable means.

I guess you don't like our economy being strong; DEI bullshit programs being eliminated; illegal aliens deported; fossil fuel production increasing; and the government being trimmed; universities that stood by when Jews were being harassed are being punished.
Too bad. That's what the people who elected him expected him to do.

Look, Left-wing cable news already has you in their corner because you detest Trump.

Unlike you, I don’t rely on any news/propaganda source to issue my opinions.

So why even think about what Fox News is saying on issues?

No reason at all.

You're an Independent who doesn't like FoxNews

Clearly, you don’t know what being an “Independent” means.

Why not just call yourself a Liberal/Progressive. You would be more credible.

You talking about credibility is like Traitor Trump talking about honesty.

You are obviously comfortable being in the minority - like the Democrat Party.

Actually, I’m a member of the largest, and growing voting bloc.

I guess enough people (after so many decades) have not received the memo on which cable networks are the most reliable source for news.

Funny you bring this up;

The American news landscape remains polarized by political party, with few news sources both used and trusted widely among Democrats and Republicans.

Maybe you should create a web site telling everyone they're watching the wrong cable news networks.

Nah, anyone stupid enough to be drawn into believing Fox or MSNBC is giving them the straight facts is too stupid to reason with.

Surely I'm not going to tell them their news channels are so far behind in collective viewership.

Don't try to figure it out just accept the fact the Fox News is more popular then CNN and MSNBC combined.

An informed news consumer would be quick to make the accurate point that collectively, the more numerous left leaning MSM news sources garner far more audiences than the much smaller pool of right leaning MSM news sources.

I am not insinuating. I am stating it as an irrefutable fact. We know that the only reason why the government is closed is that Republicans refuse to continue subsidies for health insurance. That is the truth. Fox "News" and Newsmax viewers don't know that fact. They are not being told the truth.

The Dems are making unacceptable demands for health care subsidies and the GOP does not want to continue those subsidies.
The GOP does not wish to give into such threats.

All those issues I mentioned above have occurred or are currently happening.
You don't need to complain about it. Just accept they are happening.

Why is health care for all Americans unacceptable? What's the threat, to give Americans affordable health care? Republicans claim that Democrats want to give free health care to the undocumented, but in reality, law prohibits that. Could Republicans be lying? I wonder though, if an undocumented alien goes to an ER, should they just be turned away and allowed to die?

To your last question: NO.
Hospitals cannot refuse emergency care to anyone.
Illegal aliens should not receive regular health care via Medicaid.

When Can a Hospital Legally Refuse Care?​

the hospital must provide an appropriate medical screening to any individual requesting treatment to determine if an “emergency medical condition” exists. An emergency medical condition is defined as having acute symptoms, including severe pain or psychiatric disturbances, where the absence of immediate medical attention could seriously jeopardize the person’s health, impair bodily functions, or cause serious dysfunction of any bodily organ.

When Can a Hospital Legally Refuse Care?

Understand the complex legal standards that govern a hospital’s responsibility to provide care and the limited situations where a refusal is legally permissible.

In addition to what I wrote in Post #479, we also have the spectacle of Trump forcing out several career prosecutors because they refused to prosecute Comey due to lack of evidence.
Trump hired an absurdly unqualified flunky who was obviously hired solely for the only qualification Trump values--total loyalty to him personally.
Lindsey Hallligan's only legal experience was as a Florida insurance lawyer, but she was able to sift through the prosecutorial elements of the Comey case in only three days(!) and decided Comey must be indicted, which even Trump's DOJ in his first administration had refused to do.

But wait! There's more!

To make Trump's spectacularly obvious criminal use of the DOJ even more obvious, one of his flunkies in DHS, Tom Homan, was caught last year red-handed, on audio and video tape, accepting a bag of cash from two FBI agents running a sting operation.

The Trump DOJ dropped the case.

Yeah, technically since a hospital can't let a dying person on their doorsteps go untreated, everyone including undocument aliens already get "free healthcare". Just way after it gets messy.

The "free" bit is deliberately obtuse to force the strawman implication it's their money lol I pay taxes, everyone does in this country if they buy something, it's our money and I want it to go to offering free to copay for electives Healthcare.

Republicans spout cutting the deficit to fulfill other campaign false promises of a balanced budget when our biggest expenses are archaic systems of only addressing the elderly.

Healthcare should be for all and use the same money I technically pay my employer to offer me paid for Healthcare, paid for by reducing my salary, should just shuffle from a for profit insurance to we profit insurance . Society security should be for all. Instead of universal income they hate, I suggest a forced savings account with penalties that diminish every so odd months.

Why do Republicans feel entitled to 100% control over everyone's money? Hardly unacceptable for me to say I'm paying for health insurance whether it's hidden in my salary or taxes, why not have a non profit entity than a for profit one based on denying claims as tangible to profit and not demand?

 

[Kyrion]

Gotta love how Trump is making it easier for judges to dismiss cases since he is admitting out loud that the prosecutor is following political orders and not following the law.
