The White House has found a novel way to ensure Donald Trump’s nominees ascend to power.
Federal judges in the Western District of Washington swore in former King County Superior Court Judge Roger Rogoff as U.S. attorney Wednesday morning. Within 54 minutes, Trump fired him.
The district’s 17 federal judges have been trying to find a replacement for Seattle’s First Assistant U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd, after Trump failed to formally nominate him. Floyd was appointed in October, though his name was never officially advanced to the Senate for consideration.
Federal law grants a district’s judges the power to appoint a U.S. attorney if the president and the acting attorney general fail to do so within 120 days, subsequently stonewalling the procedural Senate hearings.
Ah yes, laughing at the lower class dying will surely teach the billionaires and millionaires a valuable lesson.
You do realize that’s what you’re doing, right? Laughing at the poor dying, the same thing that the polluting billionaires and millionaires in the US are doing?
Let me really spell it out for you: the polluters of the US (and world) are not the ones without A/C, and they’re not the ones that will suffer from lack of food due to drought. No, they will just come to your country once they’ve extracted the resources in the US, and laugh at you dying. Just like they’re doing to the lower class in the US.
Some of them have already moved. Hope you’re ready, and not just laughing at people dying.
You’re not understanding. The right people are getting hurt.
This begs the question of just who you think is being hurt.
I was assuming the mind of op
I might be misinterpreting it, but I read their comment as a criticism of that attitude due to the association of that phrase (‘the right people’ getting hurt) with MAGAs
They did a piss poor job of communicating that. It reads as if they’re cheering on all Americans dying.
Which is not an uncommon view on Lemmy let’s be real.
The OP for sure, the person talking about the right people being hurt reads to me as satire. But tone is hard and I can always be wrong!
Nope you were right, and I’ll take 50% readability. I’m not going to stomp over my own joke with an /s I was sure the italics would get that done
Again, the viewpoint that all US citizens should be killed is not uncommon here. I appreciate not wanting to use the /s though, it can be annoying when your tone isn’t well conveyed through text when you think it is.
Yeah a well placed /s or something would have gone a long way on that comment lol
That’s what the italics were for, you win some and lose some
Nope just jokes
