One thing people should know about Bondi, according to Vance, is that she is a 2020 election denier.

"Bondi has experience as a prosecutor and with running a large office. And she gets high marks from Florida lawyers who’ve worked with her for surrounding herself with very smart people. But Bondi is a 2020 election denier with a long track record—that should be an absolute disqualifier," Vance added. "How can Bondi say she’ll uphold the oath of office that attorneys general take? Election denialism may be an article of faith for Trump supporters, but it should be a death knell for any nomination to be attorney general of the United States."

Vance noted that there some additional controversies with Bondi, as well.

"She has a long history of being aligned with Donald Trump. There were allegations in 2016 that she took improper political donations from Trump’s charitable organization," according to Vance. "The gist of the story involved what some characterized as a bribe to get her to drop the investigation into Trump University while she was Florida’s AG."

1. In MAGA politics, it is an asset to be a criminal

Pass it on.

[enough]

2. Actually this makes her highly qualified for the position.

3. Bondi is shamelessly and thoroughly corrupt

8. Yep. Randi Rhodes went through the whole litany of her corruption on today's show.

Should be up on her YouTube page for anyone who wants to hear it. Randi is a long-time Florida resident, so she has had a front row seat for all of it. I knew Bondi was awful, but yikes! In many ways, she's worse than Rapey McForehead.

4. I like the way people are still pretending political norms matter in Trump world.

Bondi is a 2020 election denier with a long track record—that should be an absolute disqualifier,

That's a plus in Trump world.

To be sure, it should matter but it doesn't.

Trump should be in prison, but he isn't.

He's president-elect.

America, where any piece of shit can be president.

[Think. Again.]

6. Exactly...

When the person making the picks is extremely disqualified for the job, we can expect every pick he makes to be extremely disqualified also.

They are going to rip the country to shreds.

That is their intention.

That is what they have told us they will do.

There isn't any use in pretending that won't happen somehow.

7. Can't fight back if you're swinging in the wrong direction.

And pretending Trump isn't who he is is swinging in the wrong direction.

5. Bondi was Trump's lawyer during his first impeachment trial.

That was the impeachment for withholding US military assistance to Ukraine so it would investigate Vice President Joe Biden.
