Sessions on the way out?

Our innocent children should never be subjected to that sort of horror.

We are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children, what it once was like in America when men were free.
 
I find it fascinating how many of Trump's supporters are shocked and horrified when he inevitably turns on them. There is an Aesop fable about a farmer finding a near frozen viper, feels sorry for it, takes it into his coat to warm it, only to be lethally bitten as the snake revives. When the farmer berates the snake with his dying breath, the snake says, "But you knew I was a viper when you brought me into your bosom. What did you expect?"

I've seen this over and over again with Trump in many contexts. And now it's the Republican Senators who are shocked that this mean, nasty, vengeful, petty little man with a lifelong history of scapegoating, humiliating and deep-siding his aides, staff, and supporters has actually turned on one of them! How unexpected! Presumably they thought that Trump was only a cruel, evil monster toward little, powerless people. Not important people such as ex-Senators like Sessions. Apparently the former was just fine, but the latter is crossing an ethical line.

Typical libtard claptrap. Obama is evil and was the worst president in the history of politics. He destroyed the economy and sold our freedoms to Russia with help from the pedophile Clinton family*

Thank you! I knew something was missing, but I couldn't put my leftist finger on it.

Which, again, raises the question of why Trump hasn't had a single bad thing to say about Flynn.

There's a Turkish proverb I heard once, and I post a bastardized version of it on facebook from time to time.

"When the logger entered the forest with his axe, the trees said to each other, 'Don't worry, the handle is one of us.'"

Is Preibus doing a bad/poor job or is he just not defending Trump at all costs?

Better question perhaps: What is Priebus doing at all? Does anyone know?

It ought to be fairly obvious that Mooch is attacking Priebus with Donald's consent. Which means Donald has no trust in Priebus. Which means the Chief of Staff is unfit for the job - regardless of whose fault it is that Donald lost trust.

That Donald doesn't fire Priebus shows that Donald is significantly weak.

What The Hair continues to fail to understand is that pitting his staff against each other is the cause of many of the leaks. This management style (we need not be detained by the word leadership) might work in New York real estate but it's not how to run a branch of government. In Washington information is the ammunition and leaks are the weapon. He's instigated a civil war in his staff without understanding how it would be fought.
 
Priebus is the in-house whipping boy for everything Trump doesn't like about the GOP.
But a least he's a conduit between Congress and the White House.

Lindsay Graham and now Ben Sasse have both warned the commander-in-ept not to go the recess appointment route.

What exactly are they going to do about it? It's not like they've been giving him a particularly hard time on other crappy appointments.
