Trump Fires Blue State Attorney After Less Than an Hour
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.

Meeeeh!
Have the govt you voted for! If you didnt vote, well sucks to be you then, huh?
Western Washington is one of the bluest areas in the country. Western Washington certainly didn't vote for this.
So anyone living in a country with a bad government is a bad person, provided there is some form of elections? That's your baby-brained dipshit take here?
Yep. Cry more.
America is dragging the world to heat extinction. Were going to mock thosoe retards while they drop dead from the heat.
Alright, enjoy spiking that football. You were born someplace that doesn't need to stop existing, happy for you and your lack of empathy.
Ah yes, laughing at the lower class dying will surely teach the billionaires and millionaires a valuable lesson.
You do realize that's what you're doing, right? Laughing at the poor dying, the same thing that the polluting billionaires and millionaires in the US are doing?
Let me really spell it out for you: the polluters of the US (and world) are not the ones without A/C, and they're not the ones that will suffer from lack of food due to drought. No, they will just come to your country once they've extracted the resources in the US, and laugh at you dying. Just like they're doing to the lower class in the US.
Some of them have already moved. Hope you're ready, and not just laughing at people dying.
Another step towards becoming an authoritarian dictatorship and still Americans do nothing.
What should they realistically be doing?
Rioting
And when CBP, the national guard, and police show up and shoot everyone when Trump declares martial law (you know, exactly what Trump wants before the midterms)? What then? I'm taking notes.
Why? To get shot by the police? How long ago was BLM?
Emmigrate
You got any money for those of us that can't afford it and are trapped in one of the most capitialist hellholes?
What happens when fascism knocks in the new country? Fascism is rising globally.
Rising? No, planned
Done that, but it hasn't fixed anything. Also, the UK is noticeably worse since I got here... I can't get anything right!
Yeah, no. I left a long time ago as the writing was on the wall well before Trump. The political right has been working to dumb down America beyind belief since at least the 1970's.
Similar things could be said about the UK.
Except things are way worse in the US than in the UK (as bad as they are there).
Sure, but that doesn't mean it's not getting worse in the UK as well. I haven't seen much action on the UK's part either, but unlike most people leaving comments like the one I replied to, I'm willing to admit that I don't live there to see what people are doing on a daily basis.
