OP
This one changes the order of succession in the DoJ and revokes Trump's version from 2017. It basically says if the AG, DAG, AAG etc are unable to perform their duties for whatever reason, they'll be replaced by the US Attorneys of S. NY, AZ, N. IL and HI. Those attorneys are all from Blue states/appointed by Biden, so nothing to see there, but what's notable is he did this yesterday. (For comparison, Trump did it in March 2017).
So, assuming the orange buffoon will revoke it in 2 weeks (if he gets inaugurated), why would Biden bother changing the order of succession in the DoJ now?
It makes me wonder if he's about to do some 11th-hour firing. What does everyone else think? Is this the work of Dark Brandon?

This is what I believe in. Because otherwise, NOTHING they've been doing makes ANY SENSE whatsoever.
Why give Liz Cheney a medal when that would be one more thing for Donald to feel pissed about. A medal doesn't protect her if he gets into the white house and becomes a dictator, as he promised. If he becomes a dictator, the constitution already means NOTHING...those executive orders won't mean a thing either!
I mean, Biden and Kamala are way smarter than most of us. Their trustworthy team is likely way more intelligent than us. They must know the Constitution and the rule of law will be finished the minute he walks in = America becomes an oligarchy. I mean, come on!
Not only that, but what Liz tweeted to trump after how our country is not the Soviet Union. She added more fuel to the fire.
IKR! This is crazy!
100% either Liz Cheney has balls of steel and is jumping in front of the many bullets headed her way (figuratively & literally - probably), or she isn't worried because maybe she's been told she won't need to worry? 🤷🏼♀️
Hold on, is this why kamala flew to hawaii before? To meet with the attorney general there?
I know, right? You would've thought they won everything. ;)

redditor brains cannot comprehend life is not fricking not actually like their favorite marvel slop. Biden has dementia, Kamala is a fricking failure. they are not fricking some secret cabal trying to stage a fricking 4d coup. Kamala went on vacation in hawaii after being a fricking failure. She doesnt need to go under the fricking rouse of a fricking vacation to have secret meetings.
