It’s Our Country

We are not all beholden to Trump’s desires

The lack of respect from Attorney General Pam Bondi towards Senators during a hearing yesterday was astounding. It was horrible, it was hostile. She had scripted notes for each Senator in order to attack them. The Senators did their best to grill her and not let her get away with anything, Adam Schiff was notably powerful. But still, at times they seem too nice. Which is horrible to say — Trump is forcing us to be mean.
