The LGBT were one of the targeted groups by the Nazis as far back as the 1920s. So, saying someone who'd be double-targeted by the Nazis and who's grandparents were actually targeted by the Nazis for being Jewish was being antisemitic is so ironic its moronic.

once again. can you imagine what republicans would be doing if someone from a democratic administration was acting like that. They would be throwing contempt charges left and right.

Rome, circuses

When she was spouting off with the "who is ____ ____?" or "you don't want to talk about ____ ____" - which I assume is some bullshit talking points about certain people the fragile right wing is currently obsessed with, and I didn't even want to search Duck duck for in case that would help boost exactly what she wants to have boosted by name dropping them, I wish the Democrats shot back, sarcastically, "who is John Galt?"

You’d want to contact the Florida bar where she’s licensed, not that place. But the Florida bar won’t do jack about complaints against her.

The bar associations have shown themselves to be unwilling and unable to police politically connected republicans. They couldn't even make much stick for 2020 and the filing of bad faith lawsuits to overthrow the republic in all but name, and half the consequences were overturned on appeal. All too little too late to begin with.

The bar associations moreover are the epitomy of an Old Boy's Club. They are the aristocracy, they cover for each other, and mercilessly persecute whatever out groups the old boys have decreed. The disfavored poor being the main one. Previously though it was bad faith child abuse/devil worship allegations, in the 80s and 90s, the Satanic Panic, no one saw any disbarrment from that either, despite knowingly sending innocent people to prison, suppressing evidence, manufacturing evidence, pushing theories of the case that were physically impossible and irrefutably contradicted by the facts, and reality. Then fighting to keep the convicted in prison, suppressing exculpatory evidence, and even misfiling case information to prevent do gooder lawyer groups from getting their hands on the case information to get the people freed (Bakersfield Ca at a minimum, the heart of darkness.)

This was a disgusting thing, and they spread it to all corners of the country, knowingly framing people for the most horrendous abuses, come to find out at the behest of the old boy's club that was actually doing this stuff with Epstein. It truly is all projection. But the bar was unwilling to even damage a reputation, let alone disbarr any of these prosecutors and other lawyers involved for this most heinous of ethical perversions. They showed themselves unwilling and unable to police the 2020 election deniers, bringing cases too late, too little of charges and of punishments, an overturning of half of those already paltry punishments, and a lack of even condemnations. The old boys don't turn on each other, not if they want to remain in the club.

It's a big club, and we aren't in it. Democracy isn't well in it anymore either, the election deniers are kicking it out.

The ABA doesn't oversee an attorney's license. That is done in the state that the person got their license in (kinda like driving licenses). The ABA is merely an advisory bar that is comprised of a collective of states that serve as an advisory council to the states (think an advisory UN of sorts).

She most likely will face prosecution if the administration collapses, and even if it doesn't. They've taken such a severe beating that even if they secure some measure of power after November and onward, they will need scapegoats and people to point at as they run big media spectacle kangaroo courts.

I will take anything at this point, but I am particularly smirkful at the idea of Pammy here being railroaded in a mock trial, the justice of her facing her own brand of injustice and lies as her party stabs her in the back would be amazing

I’d like to see her hung for treason

Counter-attack, counter accuse. They are all just following the lead of the president, and his party before him, he just took it to an extreme level. It doesn't matter what the facts are. The only way to deal with these people is to ignore their bad faith attacks and counter-attack them. Going on the defensive is what they are used to, and is psychologically works on the low information voters that trust the worst people, a large group.

When you defend against an attack, a charge, it lend credibility to it as confirmed by multiple studies over the decades. As such the manipulators learn when attacked to counter-attack, counter-accuse. The more it makes you go on the defensive the better it works, to obscure the issue with slander and emotional arguments.

Instead, stick with your attack, or answer with your own attack, such as calling out what they are doing and why. But that is considered bad form with our democrats, still playing politics under the 1990 model of Bill Clinton and playing for the monied interests, rejecting populism and reform as the great danger, not the other party.

The Republicans haven't been respecting that old decorum for decades, but this president brought it to a new extreme level, and we continue to afford them courtesies that aren't returned that allows them to walk all over us. That is what the donors want of course, but the donors don't even know what is in their own best interests. Popular reform is the only way to get out from under fascists fixing elections to permanently affix themselves in power, an end that kills the Republic in all but name, the Reason for Being of our politicians and members of all three branches of government to stop, to prevent.

Throwing the game to allow it, is a betrayal of their oaths itself. Ignorance is no excuse, and they aren't ignorant, they know they aren't playing real politik. We need to get some new leaders now, or else. The very least these politicians we are stuck with can do, is not afford courtesies to the republicans in questioning them that allows them to derail any oversight with counter attacks. Stay on message, when they distract with slander, call them on it, and their motivations, undermining the republic, a betrayal, say that. It's true, and it's the only way Bondi and her ilk will learn to respect and fear congressional oversight.

None of her "testimony" was meant for anything but carefully edited clips to be farmed and replayed by millions of non-Americans on twitter to make a few dollars at the end of the month.

This is just the same rotting attention-economy that made us hate the internet and killed youtube and twitch but being applied to executive and legislative politics. They are not interacting with or engaging with the reality they're being slapped with, they're coasting on media frenzy and their waning political capital in the form of 28% of the population who are armed, illiterate and angry enough to march anywhere they're directed.

No she meant exactly what she said. Israel, and their supporters, have been pushing the narrative for over a year now that any negative comments about anything the country does are anti-Semetic. Doesn't matter how general, or specific the comment, if it is against what Israel is doing it is now anti-Semetic. They are trying to change the definition in the public mind.

And as a result of removing the differentiation between the people and the Country, making every Jewish person around the world a target to those seeking violence against the Israeli government for the genocide. Which just helps further their persecution complex, strengthening their genocidal process.
