I thought I'd digested what is happening in America and was ready to deal...but I really wasn't prepared for this.

It feels like the final surrender.

Is Biden going to appoint a new FBI Director (symbolically), or let an interim* appointment of some kind manage the vetting of the incoming admin's appointees?

...or is it smooth sailing until the Kash Patel show gets underway, when the real crime spree and the end of the rule of law can officially commence?

WTF Joe? Is that it? Really?

@dcdeejay Yashar Ali had made some comment that Kash Patel could immediately become “acting director of the FBI” for a certain period of time before going through a vetting process.

So Wray knows Trump was going to fire him on day 1 in office. I was under the impression he is going to stick around until that time but maybe I’m wrong.

@Morning1 I can't think of any reason to quit now other than 1) cowardice & selfishness or 2) Biden wanted him to do something he didn't want to do between now & inauguration. (2 is mostly my wishful thinking tbh)

I'm not certain of the rules, but I'd be surprised if there weren't conditions required for acting director appt - and maybe Patel meets them through previous confirmation - but I didn't expect to see him there day 1 for those reasons.

@Morning1 Mostly I'm shocked Wray didn't have the self respect, respect for his office, respect for the people he led, or the citizens he served to stick it out and take his medicine for the good of the country. If he has kids, I don't know how he could look them in the eye ever again.

@dcdeejay Trump and his followers get high off of the “you’re fired” “power move” and Wray already knows that nonsense is coming. But I agree he should stick around.

@dcdeejay 🔍 Selon Nancy Fraser, la légitimité d'un système démocratique ne peut être atteinte que si les processus électoraux sont accompagnés d'une véritable délibération publique et d'une attention aux inégalités structurelles. Sans une représentation équitable et des discussions inclusives, les voix marginalisées sont inaudibles. Pour une démocratie légitime, il est essentiel de garantir l'égalité des voix et de lutter contre les injustices systémiques. #Démocratie #JusticeSociale
