re: US Pol (---), Extreme Pessimism, though grounded in reality
@Phorm If it's any consolation... even Kellyanne Conway's own lawyer husband isn't convinced Trump actually has the right to appoint this Matt Whitaker character. I can sympathize with any lack of faith it'll go anywhere, but there's a hell of a basis for a legal challenge. Looks like *technically* Rosenstein could be in charge, depending on whose favorite precedents you believe...

I've been hearing a lot of different takes, and it's a confusing Mish mash to say the least. I have every confidence there's grounds to contest this... It's just, yeah, who's going to do anything about it? Even those on the "other" side are talking about bipartisanship and putting aside politics, which does not engender hope.
I just... Fuck, I can't even skip a day of work without paying a high price. Why do these fuckwads get to escape consequence so thoroughly and repeatedly?
