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, some 5d chess move to invoke martial law. From the same guy that has already deployed the national guard and has his goons shooting people daily.

    HA!

    What a shit eating people, you are already at that stage, this administration has clearly shown they need nothing based in reality to do anything. They just do it, and say things.

      He has ICE arresting “illegal aliens,” that’s being protested. ICE has killed protesters, that is also getting protested. The issue is that bastardization of our education system has lead to a large amount of the population believing that ICE is doing the right thing. Because they are racists. We aren’t fighting Rump or his administration, we are fighting an increasing in size radical white national group within the US.

      Europe is also racist. It’s just that the people have learned that it is better to side with each other than the aristocrats. The US built its entire image on not having aristocrats while that group consolidated power and pinned the population into racial infighting to prevent notice. Are problems are different

      Also, if you are in Europe then you have your own problems. When I look in to it there is always all kinds of fucked up shit. US citizens just don’t care because we are up our own ass. I would say you care because you are up our ass too, but the US probably has a military base in your country or an adjacent country. And you or that country probably fucking like it. If we are so bad, so far gone, fight that. You are commenting on us getting fucked and we are literallyinside most of Europe. Fight that you self-righteous cowards. If you did, it would make it easier for us to fight in our country. But you won’t because your fucking scare.
