him, Trump intends to make him “ACTING” AG?

I’ve stayed away from DU and the news for about a week not wanting to hear what is happening. Also, figured there wouldn’t be much news anyway because he’s only “elect”. I tuned into Deadline today and am wishing I didn’t. TFG soon to be TPG is really making waves. Hope all those who decided he was the one to vote for over sanity and common sense are happy with their choice.

What a wonderful cluster f**k.
