Deranged (and dangerous)
Also a cold hearted callous example of a human being

She was also the AG in Florida while all this was going on and never prosecuted anyone.
It’s almost like she might be up to her neck in it |
Trump has known Bondi since she was young…..
I can’t add the photo but you can Google it. |  | | |

I just googled that it it came back with
"But the image depicting Trump and Bondi with Epstein was not part of the trove of files -- nor is it authentic. Reverse image searches surfaced the original photo in Getty Images's catalogue, with a caption saying it showed then-businessman Trump and Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve, with Epstein behind them, at a 1997 Victoria's Secret party in New York City". |  |

The independent judiciary not being specifically political appointees is a massive difference. The Supreme Court, as the backstop for the US constitution, has been completely perverted.
UK limits on election spending are also very significant. Since the ruling that organisations and businesses are entities with rights under the 1st Amendment, there are basically no limits on the money which supposedly independent political action committees (PACs) can pump in. Thus effectively allowing the buying of elections. We still have strict limits, which are enforced.
I still doubt that Reform will be able to go from winning four seats to an outright Commons majority in just one five-year cycle. Current polling at best has them being the largest party, based upon percentage share (which will be affected by things like regional concentration of support). Averages of polls appear to indicate that support has peaked and is on the decline, tho of course that may change during the next three-and-a-bit years. |
I think they will be able to do it. They went from zero to winning multiple local council elections with large majorities (of seats) in the last local election cycle.
In the last general election a party won a massive majority on a (relatively) small percentage of the vote. There is a significant risk that the same will happen again, this time potentially with an even smaller percentage, because the opposition (to Reform) is even more fragmented. |  | | |

In this country the Law Officers (including the Attorney General and the Solicitor General) are political appointments but they have an overriding duty to uphold the law and ensure the government complies with the law.
The contrast between Bondi and, say, Dominic Grieve couldn't be greater.
The rule of law is clearly on life support in the US, and it is difficult these days to regard it as a properly functioning liberal democracy.
Those titans who contributed to the Age of Enlightenment could never have imagined how things would turn out in the US.
If current things continue, it makes me wonder if the US will even be able to qualify as a flawed democracy in the next edition of the Economist's Democracy Index. Even under Biden it had fallen to 28th but it will presumably fall far below that given all that has gone on since Trump came to power. [Post edited 13 Feb 8:29]

This is how I see it.
The fundamental principle that governs everything is ‘might is right’.
If you are Trump or one of his henchpeople you are right, what you say cannot and must not be questioned. If you are hostile, you are nothing. You have no say, no influence and no point.
If you hold power it is your right to do as you please. You will confirm to the normal or old processes until they challenge you - then you get rid of them. That goes for allies and enemies.
We now live in the ‘post truth’ era. In other words the old pre war days and in fact further back than that. Since alternative views no longer exist or can be tolerated, neither do you.
It is clear the Attorney General is plenty of cards short of a full deck, but fits perfectly in trump’s world.
America is now a hostile. In the meantime, the U.K. politicians squabble amongst themselves, prioritise the wrong things and look ripe for the mad failures of Farage to fill the void - and it doesn’t take a genius to work out where that takes us. |
Sounds just like the worst kind of monarchy.
Bet they wish they were still a republic. |  |

I agree. In Kent a vast number of areas that elected a Labour MP at the last election went Reform in the country council elections.
And with Badenoch proudly claiming that the Tory Party is moving further and further to the right, my suspicion is there might even be some sort of pact between the Tories and Reform come the election because I am still not wholly convinced Farage wants to be PM.
After all, he was happy to walk away completely when it looked like Johnson would give him the Brexit he wanted.
This time he will be a bit more suspicious but I could still see him happy to settle for the role of Foreign Secretary in a government that did all his bidding. [Post edited 13 Feb 7:53]

I’m not convinced Farage wants to be PM either. He’s a protester really - bit like Corbyn at the other end of the political spectrum without any principles.
I agree re a pact between the tories and Reform. It looks like the only way the tories can survive. Hard to get my head around a coalition based on lunacy, corruption, rhetoric, incompetence and hate. But I suspect plenty will. |  | | |

Foreign Secretary would suit him down to the ground. Could spend all his time abroad (up Trump's rear end) and fairly plausibly say he was doing his job. | | | |

He will want to be the PM. He will want to win, run things briefly, a bit like Trump, not actually doing much, but his team will, then he will resign on health grounds. Become a Lord. Make money working for all the people he is working for now, but with higher fees. That’s my prediction. |  | | |
