Last week, the United States Senate confirmed Todd Blanche as the nation's Attorney General. Blanche has been serving as interim Attorney General since notorious sycophant Pam Bondi was fired. What a group! We got a 34 count felon president and a lawyer mafia character who goes out of his way to protect pedophiles is now representing our Department of Justice. From Trump sycophant Pam Bondi to wheeler and dealer Todd Blanche as pillars of law and order. Godfather's Don Corleone would be proud to have such a man.
Yet for a refreshing change, every Democratic senator voted against Blanches' confirmation, in contrast to voting "yes" regarding the Charlie Kirk Resolution. There were some Republicans holdouts which succumbed to their fellow peers' persuasion (likely implicit threats) encouraging them to vote "yes", including Bill Cassiday of Louisiana and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. The dynamic see-sawing duo Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins representing Maine voted "no" against appointing weasel-eyed Blanche.
Todd Blanche, in the midst of the release of the Epstein files, met with Ghislaind Maxwell in prison, to ensure her silence regarding Donald Trump's escapades with minors. It is laughable that roughened shoe leather Republican senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s chair, praised Blanche as a “tough, fair prosecutor dedicated to the rule of law.”
This thug who is part of a criminal syndicate met with a convicted pedophile, to obtain favors from her to guarantee "cooperation" in not exposing Trump's attachment to children and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Horrid.
The Department of Justice has become an instrument for a racist authoritarian regime which seeks to diminish the power of people of color in this country. It has a goal to advocate a false ideology that white people (who control most of the wealth, resources and hold nearly all positions in power) are being discriminated against in the United States. For us blacks, we can expect little or no help from the DOJ regarding criminal acts or discrimination, and this will continue under the leading of Todd Blanche. Nevertheless, people should continue to file suits and employ their help to document and demonstrate their callous and racist disregard. None of this is acceptable by any means, therefore we must continue in our fight against this regime.
