It is common for all Cabinet members to offer their resignation when a new President comes in.

In other words, he's toast.

12. Unfortunately our educational system does not do a good job of teaching the basics anymore

Civic classes should be mandatory, yet they no longer are in most places. People who are frustrated at the lack of progress end up blaming democrats because they don't know how a law is enacted, passed and signed into law. The president cannot just make things happen. Congress barely can because of the filibuster.

I'm really surprised there was no effort to root out the moles and seditionists.

8. First of all he isn't a "republican operative". That is just conspiracy bullshit. He may not be a strong or good AG,
Mon Oct 28, 2024, 08:03 PM

but pushing crap like "he is a republican operative" is nonesense.

As far as "firing him", that isn't necessary.

Hopefully if VP Harris wins, it will be up to her as President to choose the Attorney General. There is no need for firing anybody.

11. A Republican operative? lol, what nonsense. Don't we have a separate forum for goofy conspiracy theories?

Garland serves at the pleasure of the president, he can be dismissed at any time.

This is beyond ridiculous.
