I'm pretty sure that was her at the US Open, standing behind Cankles, and next to Pam Blondie, or one of Trump's other bottle blonde Alien Stepford Wives. At first, I thought she was a Fake Melania. It's just a matter of time before she gets her nose whittled down and a chin implant to go with a face lift and lip injections.

They all succumb to the Hydra’s call sooner or later. Plus it’s in the fine print of the contract they sign when selling their souls.

Though both are totally unqualified for their jobs, Trump appointed them U.S. Attorneys so they could prosecute his political enemies. Republicans say and do nothing to stop it, while corporate media thinks it's perfectly normal. How do Americans tolerate this shit? This fucking country's a joke.

There is nothing in her professional background to qualify her for that job. I got the top grade in my Criminal Practice and Procedure class. I was a litigator for 33 years. But I never practiced criminal law, either as a prosecutor or defense attorney, and I haven’t read the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in FORTY years.

If I had been offered a similar position I would have ethically been required to decline. I firmly believe that many of these bootlickers are going to come out of this without licenses to practice.
