WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO CLEAN OUR HOUSE

Yawn. We the people are bored. Donald Trump is an old rambling deluded out-of-touch grandpa who needs a nap surrounded by the most pedantic, unclever, one-note cast of characters ever to be seen on primetime. But we’ll just keep reading the same ol’ lies,bad snark, inappropriate behavior, lack of leadership skills, corruption, vindictiveness, cronyism, incompetent authoritarianism, and tacky redecorating until the cows come home…or until November anyway. Bored. Bored. Bored. Dusted with a bit of apathy. But still and always topped with outrage. Outrage never gets boring. KRISTEN WELKER: Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House? TODD BLANCHE: Well there’s a big difference between saying we will always do our job and investigate any case and act independently of the White House. No, I’m not going to pledge that and no Attorney General should ever pledge that. If I were to pledge I would be independent of the White House, what that means is that if President Trump says, “I want the Department of Justice to go after every violent criminal in this country,” which is what he has said, what you’re saying to me is I just say no sir, not gonna do it. So I will act with integrity, our prosecutors will act with integrity, we will prosecute without fear or any sort of favor, and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing and that’s what every Department of Justice should do. WELKER: Well I guess big picture, if the president asks you to do something you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: The president will never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has, he never will, and no, I swore to the Constitution of the United States like every Cabinet secretary has done and like every Attorney General before me has done and so this narrative, that’s mostly pushed by the left and pushed by the media, that the president’s going to pull me aside and ask me to do something illegal is completely a false narrative, not true, will not happen, and hasn’t happened. Sure, Todd. The current outrage over GOP politics and the state to which they have brought our social discourse, and society, is real. They disrespect their constituents. And try to convince us otherwise. They deserve to lose power. They are not worthy of leadership anymore. Stay outraged. And if Texas finally turns back blue we’ll know it works.
