Harris Shuts Down Trumpian ‘Lock Him Up’ Chants
thedailybeast.com

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris stopped her fans from getting too wild with their Trump bashing at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday.

On the second day of her battleground blitz with running mate Tim Walz, when she got to the point in her now-familiar stump speech about her days prosecuting predators, fraudsters and scammers, supporters, like those in Philadelphia on Tuesday, were just starting to chant “lock him up” when Harris deviated from the script.

“Well, hold on,” she said, holding out her hand as if to placate the crowd in Eau Claire, Wisc. “You know what, the courts are going to handle that part of it. What we’re gonna do is beat him in November.”

I hope she wins and appoints an AG who isn't a useless shithead.

I hope you're right.

One of the worst things she could do is keep the status quo. Although, of the top off my head, attorney general is the only obvious replacement that needs to be made.

I think the postmaster general is appointed? De Joy needs to fucking go.

The President appoints people to the USPS Board of Governors for a term of 7 years. That board selects the Postmaster General.

But what about Republicans feelings?! We need another coward Merrick Garland so we can keep Republicans happy!!
