America is the problem, not pedo shitler. He is just the symptom of the sickness. 77 mllion voted for this shitbag and only 7 million show up for no kings protests. The world has moved on and no one cares what happens to the rest of you.

The Aftermath and Future:
Institutional Attrition: Bondi oversaw a "vicious cycle" of talent loss, where experienced lawyers departed, and the DOJ struggled to recruit, leaving the institution hollowed out
The Firing: Despite her efforts to please Trump, she was fired on April 1st, likely due to a combination of failing to deliver political indictments and the looming threat of losing the Senate
The Replacement: The video notes that potential successors—such as Todd Blanch, Janine Piro, or Lee Zeldon—face the same structural challenges: a disillusioned judiciary, a skeptical grand jury system, and a damaged institutional reputation

Re: The Titanic thread
Bloomberg acknowledges that the US war on Iran is backfiring, undermining the petrodollar system that gives the US empire so much power.
Gulf regimes are exporting significantly less oil, and they're not reinvesting those petrodollars in US assets.
Meanwhile, many foreign central banks have been selling US Treasury securities (US government debt) to prevent their currencies from depreciating, leading to US bond yields rising markedly -- not falling, as they typically did in past crises, when investors engaged in a "flight to safety". The US financial sector is losing its perception of having "safe haven" status.
This means that both key aspects of the petrodollar system are breaking: there are fewer oil exports in dollars (Iran wants oil to be traded in Chinese yuan), and there are fewer petrodollars recycled into US financial assets.
