This appears to be satire

(6,643 posts)His ego is getting more and more fragile as he fails more and more at 'deals'. He can't stand that others are more popular, have cool nick names. Actually, he hates everyone who gets any attention at all. And he thinks he has the power to make everyone else agree with him.
There is nothing, NOTHING that will make him STFU because he is the most insecure person in the world. He knows he's a LOSER and nothing he can order will make him feel better about himself.

To me.......the only difference between the ladies working the street on E. Colfax in Denver, and these Republican Women Appointees and Politicians, is that there are things that the ladies on E. Colfax......WILL NOT DO, for ANY amount of money......

(12,987 posts)He made a list of top people all the way down to bottom people, and then chose the bottom person on the list.......
I have noticed that in the Corporate World.......an executive will hire the distinctly poorer qualified people, so that he/she is not threatened, and candidates that are totally YES people.....

(5,969 posts)Please let this be fake. Otherwise, Bondi has cemented herself as maybe the stupidest and most dishonest person on earth (next to Trump). The fact that she is Attorney General of the US is beyond comprehension. We are truly living in the twilight zone.
MarineCombatEngineer
(15,862 posts)But she's still stupid and dishonest.
Wiz Imp
(5,969 posts)But it shows how sad a situation we are in now that it is easy to picture the Attorney General of the US making such an idiotic statement.

(209 posts)Bondi's head is blocking part of "Department of Justice" but there is no way that can make it read "Injustice" on one side of her head. There can't be an "N" right before the "J".
It would make a nice SNL skit, though. Throw in Kristi Noem trying to claim habeas corpus means "the Boss" CAN detain people without a reason and SNL can have Bruce Springsteen grabbing up all the people HE doesn't like, and torturing them with piped-in music -the Barney song, Mr. Roger's "Won't you be my Neighbor?", for instance. If they nod off, Roseanne's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner cranked to 11...

(5,969 posts)“‘Hey, boss.’ You know? ‘Are we getting paid this week?’ ‘Sure,’” he recalled. “And then some DJ heard it and started using it on the radio and it, you know, went viral, as they say. And so there it is.”.
He never liked it as a nickname, but eventually accepted people were going to call him that whether he liked it or not.
The beloved rocker opened up about his apparent disdain for his longstanding nickname on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast on Thursday, May 1. “‘The Boss,’ which dogged me my whole life, still does,” he said. “I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve given up and gotten used to it, I suppose.”

(5,969 posts)I only knew that Bruce didn't start it himself and he actually never really liked that people called him that but eventually gave up trying to get people to stop using it.

(87,033 posts)Springsteen was happening when you could barely stand up by yourself.
And he’ll still be at it LONG after you’re forgotten.
His name, his music, his conscience, and his leadership will keep inspiring WAY LONGER than ANYBODY will remember anything about you.
