Episode Description
We're not known for our segues around here. But pivoting from child sex trafficking allegations to "The Dow right now is over $50,000"?
That's not training—that's talent.
The dingus crown goes to Attorney General Pam Bondi. This week, she sat before Congress to answer questions about the Epstein files—except she didn't. She screamed about Merrick Garland. She called sitting representative a "washed-up lawyer." Like Regina George but without the wit she let loose on the chamber.
Asked about redactions that protected accused sex criminals? Pivot to the stock market. Asked whether the president attended parties with underage girls? Time to yell about the border. Asked to apologize to victims whose names her DOJ failed to redact? Well, that's just ridiculous.
This week on DINGUS OF THE WEEK, hosts LYZ LENZ and ZACHARY OREN SMITH read through the receipts Bondi brought to Congress—receipts showing her DOJ exposed victims of child sex trafficking while protecting billionaire co-conspirators.
Also: Dingus Madness bracket voting, Olympic's penisgate, and the tall boy wars.
