Don't you just love how great America is now?

And it happened so quickly too! :lol:


Jeff Sessions Is Growing ‘Pissed’ at Trump, His Allies Say. And He Doesn’t Plan to Quit.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has no plans to leave office as friends say he's grown angry with President Donald Trump following a series of attacks meant to marginalize his power and, potentially, encourage his resignation.

“Sessions is totally pissed off about it,” said a Sessions ally familiar with his thinking. “It’s beyond insane. It’s cruel and it’s insane and it’s stupid.”

Sessions’ allies say the president’s criticism of the attorney general is counterproductive. Perhaps more than any other member of Trump’s cabinet, Sessions has been an uncompromising advocate for Trump’s agenda. The attorney general has worked methodically to dismantle Obama’s legacy at the Justice Department: reconsidering the department’s efforts to make troubled police departments change their practices, changing the DOJ’s stance on voter I.D. lawsuits, and rolling back former Attorney General Eric Holder’s sentencing guidelines that were aimed at reduced incarceration and balancing out drug-crime-related punishments.

Every pick for a U.S. Attorney’s office that Sessions has made has underscored the administration’s focus on border security. He’s visited the border twice to emphasized a desire prosecute undocumented immigrants. He’s passionately defended Trump’s so-called travel ban and threatened to withhold funding from sanctuary cities.
In the process, he’s become Public Enemy Number One for progressives, which makes his targeting by Trump so baffling to those close to him.

“He’s not going anywhere,” said another Sessions ally. “He is not going to resign. What he is accomplishing is way too important to the country.”

Rather than quit, Sessions insiders predict that the Attorney General call Trump’s bluff. And unlike other members of Trump’s cabinet, he has political wiggle room to do so. Trump’s base of support – immigration restrictionists, rank and file law enforcement officials, and states’ rights conservatives – were Sessions’ fans before they flocked to the president. They may very well scoff at the idea that the administration would be better off without its AG. Sessions also enjoys continued support in the Senate, where he served for a decade. On Tuesday morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) pushed back on Trump’s attacks and called the president’s encouragement that Sessions prosecute Hillary Clinton over her email use, “highly inappropriate.”

Much of Trump’s senior staff in the White House do not expect Sessions to leave any time soon either. The attorney general has several hardcore fans within President Trump’s top ranks, including senior advisor for policy Stephen Miller and chief strategist Steve Bannon, the latter of whom has previously dubbed Session his “mentor.”

That's ridiculous.

None of Trump's supports care more for Sessions than Trump. Sessions is on his way out and when he goes the Trumpkins will have their talking points ready. No matter what happens Trumpkins will fall in line behind their beloved orange asshole. They have no working brains. They will believe what Trump wants them to believe.

That is NOT the real reason. Trump wants to clear the way to get at Meuller and see if he can stop the investigation. Trump is feeling cornered and is lashing out in the most childish way at anyone that is part of the investigation. OBSTRUCTION of justice

He does NOT want them to expire or dig into things that he keeps secret. Which of course makes him even more suspect.

How many Attorneys General does Trump get to go through before some sort of "rule of law" kicks in? ... as many as he wants until he finds a sufficiently corrupt one? Is the US in really that bad a state?

It will be divisive and disquieting giving a lethal injection to a former President. It'll be like chopping off Charles I head. It will likely set off a civil war like that earlier regicide did.

Yes. it is. But most in the US a re still in mass DENIAL. They have been brainwashed to "support the president" from birth ........and that creates a population that does not think for itself about its dear leader.

Where is the outcry about this blokes behavior?? The rule of the law does not apply to him .......in his mind.

Now he is using the public shaming tactic to pressure Sessions into leaving.

Tru\ump want sonly yes men type of loyalists to HIM... He could c are less about the Constitution or the people he is supposed to govern.


And what is with the campaign style rallies?? He is in office , should he not be governing?? He just cant stay away from his loyal supporters who adulate him as if he was some kind o f rock star. His pathology needs this adulation to function. The bigger the crowd ......the better he likes it and the more reissued he feels. His ego /personality is like a black hole that needs c instant fueling up of adulteration, applause , and compliments.One cannot be loyal enough to him....... and he will betray that loyalty on a dime.

He has been known to abuse staff he did not like until they quit . He is being his sadistic self. His notion about loyalty is a kin to the mafia. He does not want ind pendant thinkers or ind pendant investigations........ he wants things to favor HIM.


The American population as a rule is not all that sophisticated and either chooses not to or is unable to see what he really is.

His mudslinging tactics might have been useful during some barbaric era..........but Today???

The Rule of Trump is all that matters to Donald. deceit comes as second nature to him.

Precedent: Right After 1992 Election Bill Clinton Fired U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions

I dunno maybe your pal the "flying government penis" set a precedent



So, a US Attorney is the same as an Attorney General? And you're saying that firing US attorneys, as all presidents do, and Trump did, is exactly the same as firing the AG that you hand picked and just appointed?


Those are all the same thing to you? Why am I not surprised.

Maybe. But not quite as simple in this case. MOTIVE comes into the picture. and particularly when it comes to the Trump.

that's ridiculous.

None of trump's supports care more for sessions than trump. Sessions is on his way out and when he goes the trumpkins will have their talking points ready. No matter what happens trumpkins will fall in line behind their beloved orange asshole. They have no working brains. They will believe what trump wants them to believe.
bravo!!

This is the saltiest I've ever seen this many people. Ever. I got to hand it To the Donald. He makes them go nuts. Clinically nuts


But, you know, you're not very good at understanding people, or politics, or science, or government, or much of anything, so there you go.
