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.

@crandlecan I’m sorry. I can’t keep living with euphemisms so folks feel better when it comes to politics. Me thinks if the media was more up front about what was going on we wouldn’t be here but who knows. Pelosi knew about it and experts have been predicting this move to fascism for about 25 years. We knew - we just didn’t know what was going on.
Agreed 💯💯
@crandlecan Thanks, then we can moan together with millions of others :) .
