Bondi’s dishonesty during yesterday’s judiciary hearing was so obvious, her loyalty to Trump so deep, that it revealed an awareness of what she is fighting against with increasing desperation: Trump is losing on every front. His war on immigrants and American patriots is failing as his blundering Gestapo commits one appalling act after another; judges are dismissing his unconstitutional appointees as prosecutors (Sarcone in the northern district of NY most recently); a Bill passed the House with some Republican support to end the phony national emergency which supports his illegal, whimsical, and abusive tariff policies; people are aware the economy is not doing well for most Americans in spite of the rising stock market; the Epstein scandal and his involvement with Epstein will not go away; Americans are increasingly disgusted with his alienation of our traditional allies and much more.

Chickenshit Gallup can decide it is time to stop the polls on presidential approval/disapproval but that fails to actually increase his approval among Americans; it soothes the monster’s injured pride but more injury is on its way.

And he will throw her under the bus like yesterday’s trash.

Jay's avatar

And she will still kiss his ass, with zero sense of shame or humiliation.

Gordon Berry's avatar

He already did - and she jumps back up to "idolize" him more..

What a "B..."(use your own word)

I guess when kyle rittenhouse speaks, even the president listens..

K.R.'s full name shouldn't ever be written down or spoken aloud!

Thanks Anthony . The only thing is they say 85% of Republicans still suppot him. Is this true?

Anthony j. Santo's avatar

I doubt it. I believe many Republicans are awakening to just how dangerous the man they elected and his accomplices are. That is why Trump is trying so desperately to rig the upcoming elections and stifle polls.

Excellent summation.

Nice summation, my friend in cyberspace

It's nice to know I have friends out there! Thanks.

Pam Bondi prosecuted no pedophiles in Florida. She was promoted to do the same act in Washington DC. Let’s not forget that her Justice Department tracked which pages House members looked at. Why?

FVera's avatar

“Pamela Jo Bondi is a bad acid trip come to life, a powerful clown, a demented skank…”. This is priceless. Everyone who voted to confirm her should hang their heads in shame and beg forgiveness from the American people. I am not afraid.

Read JoJofromJerz she has a great column too.

The BEST! Jo sees it all so clearly and puts it down on the mark. With LOVE!

As I read this paragraph, I wished for a highlighter to really show it up!

To me the travesty of Bondi‘s unbelievable performance yesterday, was her utterly pitiful, attempt at takedowns of thoughtful politicians, senators, etc., by yelling at them and attempting to impugn their reputations. Her performance was not only so obviously deranged and over the top, the only outcome was her pathetic display of her incredible lack of fitness for the position she’s in and possibly any other position she would ever be in. What a disgrace!

I particularly enjoy her constant attention to the papers and binders she likes to flip through while appearing to be totally bored by whatever is going on in front of her. I wonder if she has rehearsed that act with Trump. Maybe that's some kind of foreplay they enjoy. I hate to use the word, but Bondi is the definition of a bitch.

Patricia Baron's avatar

I prefer another word, Ann, and it rhymes with "stunt. "

Constance Story's avatar

Agree, Patricia. I used to hate that word but what better word is there for trumps bevy of brainless bitches...Leavitt, Noem, Bondi,et al. They are all exactly the SAME; fake teeth, fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake tits with the obligatory gold cross dangling just above, and an icy wind howling through the empty caverns between their ears.

"An icy wind howling through the empty caverns between their ears".

😂😂😂 Whole comment was great but this line is a winner! I wish I was as clever as you Constance. I've said many times I wish there was a book of some of the greatest Substack-isms. Yours would be included.

Robin D's avatar

Me.too. Because she exemplifies the true meaning of the word. The most vile pejorative you can use towards a woman.

Did you ever hear the story about E Jean Carroll's fabulous lawyer Robbie Kaplan, who as Demented Donnie was walking past her in the courtroom of one of her trials in 2022 or 2023 (a lifetime ago) he said to her as he was walking out "C U Next Tuesday" and Robbie Kaplan turned to her associate and said "Oh, do we have an appointment with him?" and they had to explain her what he meant. 😳 An accomplished, brilliant woman attorney who won a Supreme Court case for LGBTQ rights for an older lesbian widow named Edie Windsor. I'm surprised he contained himself and just didn't come out and use the word except he probably still had a brain cell left and knew if he said that, it would really make the papers..

No, he prefers women attorneys like Pam.Bondi or Alina Habba LOL.

"Alina, would you rather be pretty or smart? Oh, pretty. I can fake being smart"

And that is Donald Trump in a nutshell.

Bondi’s notebooks are props, every actor loves to have props, it gives them something to do with their hands. She has carefully rehearsed every part of her performances probably with cameras to help her with her timing. They know where the cameras are placed in the room , she didn’t throw away any of her looks, it was a studied performance including her indifference to the plight of the Epstein victims in the room with her.

Haha...I think you're much TOO kind. I love Steve's "bad acid trip" and a favorite, "skank"... (in touch with my shadow)...

Gordon Berry's avatar

We all have our favorite word!

Robin D's avatar

I love the world skank. He reserves it for.the worst women...it's a favorite of his for Kristi Noem.too

Bruce Kopetz's avatar

Look up the word "skank" in any respected English dictionary and a photograph of Ann Coulter will be there.

Robin D's avatar

Lol. I haven't thought of her in years, but yes, I'll happily add her name to that roster.

Nannette glaze's avatar

Her performance was truly, truly disgusting. I can’t wrap my head around how unhinged and evil she is to behave in such disturbing manner. I almost felt sorry for her yesterday. I believe she was close to crumbling into a mental breakdown. The look on her face at various moments was sad.

Laura Warner's avatar

You’re way too kind!

Nannette glaze's avatar

Emphasis on almost!

Wendy Shelley's avatar

“She’s a low-rent nitwit, and not particularly bright, which is how Donald likes his women: cheap, plastic and servile.“ Can’t get better than that, Steve!

Gerald Lewis's avatar

Interesting that during six hours of inquiry, Bondi contemtuously insinuated that she was superior to all who dared ask her questions. Hard to pull that off when her demeanor overall was middle-school snotty.

mary M keymer's avatar

Thank You !Thank You! Thank You! ..This piece is why I subscribe to you .. you expressed for me everything I am feeling about Yesterdays debacle. Again Thank You.. The anger I am feeling had no place to go and now I read your piece .. Yippee ! I very much hope you are right that we will prevail . One thing I would like to add, talking heads are saying the dems in the committee didn't behave well either. I think they did a splendid job. Considering who they were dealing with.what would they have liked them to do ? lost in america

Whatistobedone's avatar

Me, too, sister...definitely me too! ✌️ peace out

This comment is about Megan Kelly. She has a daughter, who is 14, soon to be 15. I suppose if she was raped it would be OK, since she's not 9. It was different when she an adult woman was sexualy harassed at Fox News.

Pam Bondi looked scared to me. She should be, shes out of her league with the group she's playing with.

March on my friend

Yes she is evil incarnate

Her eyes are the gateway to hell

Christa's avatar

I really hope they don’t use video clips of Bondi’s hearing in Ethics 101 as an example of what not to do. That would mean there are people besides Trump and Bondi who could even conceive of such inane, stupid, venomous bullshit for responses to reasonable questions. She thought she was so clever she even had a notebook of that crap made specially for the occasion. Better to show it as an example of what happens if you don’t vote. You get hateful idiots running the country.

Love what you and the SAM are doing each and every day.

Kelly Eggers's avatar

Steve, You are fearless. Thank you sir.💔🇺🇸

Whatistobedone's avatar

FEARLESS!...exactly what the moment REQUIRES...along with PASSION and, yes, (for me) rage, red hot, rage.

💯- “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.”
