This is a contest with no prizes.
Please offer your ideas about who will be chosen by Trump as U.S. Attorney General.
First requirement: He or she must be deeply loyal to Trump and promise never to investigate him.
Second requirement: The nominee must have a law degree.
Third requirement: There is no other requirement.
Ready, set, go.
Personally, I would choose the “late, great Hannibal Lecter,” but I fear he lacks a few basic qualifications.
One, he probably does not have a law degree.
Two, he is dead.
Three, he is a fictional character.

Trump thinks Hannibal Lector is a ‘wonderful man’. GROSS! [I think Trump is following in his footsteps. Imagine BOTH of them having someone over for dinner!]
Now, a conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump supporter, has suggested that “liberals” expressed “faux outrage” over praising comments the former president made about Hannibal Lecter, the fictional cannibal from the book and adapted film The Silence of the Lambs.
The Claim
A post on X, formerly Twitter, by conspiracy theorist Liz Crokin, posted on May 12, 2024, viewed 1.2 million times, said that Donald Trump had called the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter “a wonderful man” at his rally.
“Normie liberals and the media are melting down on social media with outrage, and faux outrage, that he’d “praise” a cannibal,” Crokin wrote.
“Here’s what Trump said: ‘Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner as this poor doctor walked by. I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’

Just fact checked: IIf what I read is correct, it isn’t a formal requirement to be a lawyer to hold the position of US Attorney General.
So, Traitor Trump might nominate Marjorie Taylor Greene.
MTG’s resume:
“Fifteen [Biden] impeachment resolutions have been introduced; six of which were authored by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Next:
Tommy Tuberville. Trump did say he might replace all of the US military generals and admirals with coaches and race car drivers.
https://www.msn.com/en-ie/news/politics/donald-trump-to-fire-america-s-military-generals-and-replace-them-with-nascar-drivers/ar-BB1qAp9L
“Former United States President Donald Trump has contemplated firing military generals and replacing them with the best NASCAR drivers. Trump also paid respect to the top football coaches in the nation, and claimed that if they replaced the current military personnel things would be ‘so different.'”
After all, Traitor Trump has nothing but contempt for the US government. the US military, the US Constitution, and entire legal system.

Given those qualifications, I’m thinking that Trump might put Aileen Cannon in there. That is, if she’s willing to give up her cushy job as a judge… Or, given Trump’s penchant for selecting FOX TV hosts, wouldn’t surprise me if he picked Jeannine Pirro to be the next AG nominee, either. Nothing that Trump does should surprise anyone.

I think Trump chose Gaetz because there was no way to go but up. He wants the senate to look at all the fanciful characters in his strange play and give up, granting him most of what he originally wanted. If you don’t have any good acts in your circus, you fake it until the audience caves in to simple incompetence.
I would suggest an Italian Water Dog. They are smart and loyal. Everyone loves a dog. Put a tent up over this circus.

Well I already said Alex Murdaugh in the previous thread. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he nominates Aileen Cannon for AG or for the Supreme Court. Speaking of stupid, I’m thinking about when George W Bush nominated Harriet Miers for she SCOTUS…
But, under Trump, why would a law degree be needed for AG? Too bad for Trump that Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ted Kaczynski aren’t available… However Trump’s fellow rapist Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. (aka The Golden State Killer) is available for consideration.

“Spoils System” is the name of this game. It’s not new and most thought Civil Service meant we were long past that, but nepotism and cronyism are indeed back in play for just about all government jobs now.
Deep down, the guy realizes that he was POTUS & did not know what the hell he was doing, so he figures anyone can do anything. And people without expertise or experience would be the best candidates for doing whatever he tells them to do anyway. (He may have forgotten how much he delegates cuz he hates working and would rather be golfing.)
But doesn’t he need Jr and Eric to run the family business, (from which he previously refused to divest) so he can continue to grift –or if only to satisfy the NY court order?

The so-called liberal media has such short memories when it comes to Trump or any Republican wrongdoing. So I wonder if they will remember that when Pam Biondi was the Florida Attorney General, the Trump Foundation made a “charitable” distribution of $25,000 to her campaign and (totally coincidentally) right after that she decided that Trump University, where folks who wanted desperately to part with thousands of their hard earned dollars could learn from the best people ever, was such a totally legitimate and honest enterprise that there was absolutely no reason to even investigate such a perfect university.
Which of course makes her the IDEAL Attorney General for Trump. An extra bonus is how cheaply she can be bought! For a mere $25,000 (paid for by a charitable foundation), Biondi will decide your sham university is the bestest university ever!
But we can all breathe easier knowing that Biondi will surely need a charitable contribution of at least twice that to look the other way at the most serious felonies, treason, or shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
Biondi already did what Matt Gaetz only hoped to do for Trump in the future.
