Merrick Garland as AG?

Holy crap, this is freaking brilliant. I hope it happens.

I’m not sure why he’d want it.

I'm hoping for Elizabeth Warren.

Trump definitely does not want EW as the next AG. Thankfully we know Trump is the George Costanza of government figures.

Too polarizing.

Maybe to fix the disaster left by Trump out of respect for the institution and desire to serve the country through that role before he retires.

He’s got a better chance to do that where he is.

She is the only human I've ever heard vocalizing the same concerns I have about the DOJ and how bullshit immigration courts are. They are not even Article III courts-- just glorified administrative courts run by... the DOJ, which is dictated by the Executive. I need not carry on about how insane that is, and how that has directly led to shenanigans the last 4 years--- e.g. DOJ setting QUOTAS that immigration judges must meet to perform well on their annual performance reviews. The deck has never been so stacked against immigrants, refugees, and asylees.

I wouldn’t mind her in that role. But I thought I heard she was gunning for the Treasury position, where she would be a disaster.

Kevin McCarthy, on Fox, just said there were a lot of voting irregularities in this election.

75% of Republicans who voted think there was fraud that helped Joe Biden.

52% of Republicans think Trump won.

Where does this lead our country 1-4 years from now?

Frightening to contemplate. Trump's refusal to concede may end up being the most damaging thing he has done in his 4 years as president.

The GOP may never be the same.

Without question this effort to paint the election as fraudulent is the most damaging thing he has done. By a wide margin.

And not the least bit surprising from him.
