Todd Blanche having his conformation vote at 4:00 AM tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans in Congress operate. They reserve their most toxic moves for the dead of night.

We elect a lot of weak and stupid people to be our leaders. Once again, the weak and stupid have talked themselves into sleeping with a rattlesnake.

It is very, very, very unlikely that we will ever have a worse Attorney General than Todd.

Just like it is very, very, very unlikely we will see a worse president than Trump.

Then again, I said that last part when both Nixon and Bush II were in office.

I take from Blanche's appointment that a new way will be found to put that Olympic cyclist in prison.

The President's Criminal Attorney is now the AG?

He's basically Nero's Fiddle.

And before the vote, some of the Republican senators made it sound almost realistic, knowing that Todd Blanche would be confirmed.

Such kabuki theater.

Did anybody in Amerikkka fall for it?

Mainers or Alaskans?

Don't "blanch" at this, but the new incompetent and thoroughly corrupted USAG's name anagrams to:

"Bad Clod, Then"

Confirmed as a corrupt sycophantic A hole.

The bad news is a maga slush fund is ever nearer.

The good news is that a democratic slush fund is ever nearer.

I think this appointment may put free and fair elections 6ft under. I think it has everything to do with their plans to sabotage the midterms

Simplifies things a bit in determining those members of the United States Senate who voted as part of the Republicans' Congressional Cowards Caucus. Murkowski does what Murkowski does, Collins dithers until it's safe to "break" with the regime, trying to bamboozle the rubes back home. But the rest? Every goddamn one of them - except the mummy of Mitch McConnell - endorsed Todd Blanche for AG.

No excuses acceptable. This is something you've done to your country. Clio's already making room in history's courts.

I agree.

We have this one poster who argues I should be terrified of Islam as a threat to Western Civilization.

The threat really comes from the people he supports.
