Republicans Force Nomination of Scandalous Donny Judge
Analysis of Senate Confirmation of Emil Bove
Assault on Democracy Authoritarian RiskRationale
The appointment of Emil Bove, especially under allegations of advocating for defying court orders, indicates potential politicization of the judiciary, undermining the independence of the legal system and raising risks of authoritarianism.
In a 50–49 Senate vote that might as well have been scrawled in crayon on a Mar-a-Lago napkin, Donny's personal legal attack dog Emil Bove has officially been handed a lifetime seat on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
That's right — lifetime. This guy now gets to shape the law forever. Why? Because loyalty to Donny is now the only qualification that matters.
Let’s review what makes Bove so uniquely unfit for a federal judgeship:
Nearly 1,000 former DOJ lawyers (aka actual professionals) signed a letter saying he’s a walking conflict of interest who should never touch a robe, gavel, or anything more serious than a parking ticket.
He fired prosecutors working on the January 6th investigations. Nothing says “independent judiciary” like protecting the coup crew.
He literally suggested the DOJ respond to court orders with a good ol’ “fuck you”. Judicial temperament? Try judicial tantrum.
Oh, and he dropped corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. Funny how everyone Donny’s orbit suddenly ends up exonerated.
Every senator who voted yes on this nomination didn’t just rubber-stamp a judge — they endorsed a system where defiance of the law is rewarded, and the courts are just another branch of Trump Inc.
They didn’t vote for a judge. They voted for a fixer in a robe.
And the Constitution? It didn’t even make the shortlist.
Donny's Popularity Plummets — Right Along With His Brain Cells
Donny's approval ratings are in the sewer.
In fact his approval ratings are dropping even faster than Donny's obvious cognitive nose dive. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, President Trump's approval rating has dropped to a glorious 40% — the lowest of his entire second term. That’s right, rock bottom has a basement, and Donny just found it.
And the reasons? Oh, just little things like:
-
The economy - because somehow, giving giant tax breaks to billionaires hasn’t stopped inflation or made groceries any cheaper.
-
Immigration — where chaos, cruelty, and constitutional violations have all been rebranded as "policy".
-
Destroying democratic norms — because the non-cultists notice shit like that.
All this while Donny’s cognitive decline is starting to resemble the stock market crash he swore would “never happen again.” Between the incoherent rants, the slurred word salad speeches, and his 3rd-grade attempts at international diplomacy (hi, “Mr. Japan”), even his base is beginning to notice that the lights are on, but nobody’s home.
Stay tuned: If the ratings dip any lower, Donny might try to invade Canada just for a distraction.
