So Asshole just effectively admitted that the reason he made Jeff Sessions his AG was that he expected to be protected from any investigations about Russia (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40665891).
And anyone who thinks that the GOP wouldn't already be holding impeachment hearings if it were Hillary is a fool. IOKIYAR, after all.

D-insane and R-insane. But I am neither ;-)
There are no statesmen ... just sociopaths claiming to be statesmen.
I am disappointed in Trump too. Every other President gets dick sucking Attorney Generals who lie like rugs (see George W and Barak). His initial WH job filling extravaganza ... was unprofessional for such a legendary businessman ;-) He actually trusted other people to suggest names to him.
Remember; Uhhh... Benghazi!

His name was Seth Rich. Arkanside even in 2017 ... the corpses continue to pile up.
McCain and Hillary want to nuke Iran and Russia. McCain just got diagnosed with brain cancer. What is Hillary's excuse?
"Trump regrets hiring Attorney General Jeff Sessions"
Obligatory subheadline: "America regrets electing Donald Trump"
I have a bet on the table that Trump gets fired before Christmas, but I may loose that bet. Apparently the Rs in Congress think he's an idiot; but for now he is still a useful idiot.
They were saying yesterday on XM that Russian have been laundering money by purchasing real estate in NYC. Is it possible that has something to do with Trump? nah couldn't be... and just because the media had recordings of Jr bragging about the financing the family gets from Russians; a few years ago; doesn't mean anything either. As Breitbart would say its all fake news. (Breitbarts credibility rating sucks because they don't do much fact checking before they dump a story)

The Chinese have been buying property, everywhere. But they are D-party buddies ... get your Mao jacket now, rice pounder!
Welp, Asshole is researching the limits of his power to pardon (as well as how to interfere with the Mueller investigation) (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-team-seeks-to-control-block-mueller%E2%80%99s-russia-investigation/ar-AAows5X?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=mailsignout) -- which is even more interesting in light of his own director of Homeland Security stating that yup, Russia interfered in our election in his favor (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/in-break-with-trump-top-intel-homeland-security-officials-affirm-russias-election-meddling/ar-AAowxSp?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=mailsignout).
Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said.
Oh, and while we're at it? Sean Spicer just resigned (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/21/us/politics/sean-spicer-resigns-as-white-house-press-secretary.html?_r=0).
Insert your own rat/sinking ship jokes here.
And so did his personal lawyer (http://thehill.com/homenews/news/343069-trumps-personal-lawyer-resigns-from-top-post-amid-legal-team-shakeup). As Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov says that Asshole and Vlad the Impaler have met many more times than just the three we know about (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-putin-may-have-met-more-times-says-russia-s-n785146?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma).

Vlad was Romanian, you ignoramus (about E European history). QE II is descended from that Vlad. Vlad in Russian means ... Jim. Are you going to put stakes in the hearts of everyone named Jim? The D-party is such a Gothic horror, and it isn't even Halloween yet.

It won't be before Christmas, but it might be just before the 2018 mid term elections as Republicans bail to survive their own election efforts. 2nd guess is just after they are all safe for 2 years.

Trump once described his inner circle as a "well oiled machine". The presidential cabinet seems to be in a shambles. If Pence can stay out of the way and avoid being noticed, he may just be given the keys to the White House. What an odd task Pence has trying not to be caught in the potential collapse of a presidential infrastructure, so he might rise from the carnage like the Phoenix and lead the country to the promised land.

This entire administration is such a farce I cannot decide if I should laugh or cry. I don't understand why the Republicans haven't impeached him to give Pence the presidency. They have plenty of political cover to do so, and we all know they would prefer him anyway.
Maybe an odd way to think here , but I'm beginning to think of Trump as President 667 (the neighbor of the Beast). LOL!
Hey, its just a joke...

I've decided to laugh, because my tear ducts aren't strong enough for the necessary and appropriate flow for crying over it.

Watching the Executive Branch right now is like watching Saturday Night Live. It's hard to tell sometimes which one is supposed to be the humorous satire. Although watching the disorganized chaos in the real life version is kind of funny in a sick kind of way. But it's also spooky sad, and it makes me feel bad about the state of my country, and how far we have fallen.

Trump is digging the hole he is in deeper every day. The Senate Republicans are stating to abandon him. I'm thinking even odds now that he will be removed from office in some way.

Trump is building the Elon Musk hyper tunnel to China ;-) Another delusional billionaire. The RNC never picked Trump ... they have never supported him, never will. He isn't part of their MIC club. And yes, if Trump is removed ... there is civil war. Hope you all enjoy your civil war ;-(
When McCain votes against McConnell, the Republicans have a serious problem... I don't usually agree with McCain, but when he takes a stand, he is generally on the correct side.
And lest that seem "Yay, he voted on my side", that isn't correct. There are some times he voted against my thoughts but his reasons were on ethics not politics.
Amazing the number of times that a Republican who no longer cares about re-election suddenly stops toeing the party line -- often with a kind of enjoyment at finally being free. I saw the video; McCain deliberately used the 'thumbs down' hand gesture from nearly every movie about the Roman Empire: fist held sideways, then turned down.
Alas, where was he when Betsy DeVos was being shoved through? He still has a lot of damage on his hands.
Well. Can you say cover-up?
From BBC News: Guess who dictated the statement on his son's meeting with the Russians (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40786411)?
And still, no Republican has a spine. Nor, evidently, a conscience. Nor morals. Nor ethics.
Meanwhile, Attorney Reichsmarschall Sessions has waded into a case in which the DoJ was not involved nor even invited to get involved in order to file a 36 page "brief" (https://www.washingtonblade.com/content/files/2017/07/Zarda-DOJ-brief.pdf) supporting employers who want to be able to fire people for being LGBTQ (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-sessions-assault-on-gay-workers-revealed-yet-another-lie-he-told-at-confirmation-hearings_us_597c8d94e4b02a8434b6b2f3) because it "offends" their "deeply held beliefs".
I don't know if I want him gone because he's a bigot, or to stick around because he annoys Asshole.
Well, actually, I want the whole lot of them gone. To jail cells where appropriate.

Today, I realized what President Trump is. He is a scared little boy given too many toys and thinking he was really smart because he had the toys. He isn't.
I know a crazy person when I see one. They used to be the ones who walked around on the sidewalks in front of our office talking to God in anger. Some were "crazy-smart" and obsessively earned wealth. And now we have President Trump. He's nutso. His supporters saw something they wanted. He was the best game in town.
And now even they are starting to fall away.

Kennedy - crazy
Johnson - crazy
Clinton - crazy
Notice those are all Democrats, but not all Democrats since Eisenhower are listed. We have had plenty of crazy people in the WH.
I don't consider Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan or either Bushes to be crazy. Undesirable, but not crazy. And only Carter is a decent human being out of that bunch.
