The Attorney General's loyalty is to the law of America, not to the Office of President. Of course she serves at the pleasure of the President, but this is Nixonian level crap.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

so rumor is Boente was sworn in at 9pm

not that I'm paranoid but it would be a relief to confirm none of his immediate family members was coincidentally abducted at 8:50pm

I guess, but also, that's a fear of putting sessions there so not a great look!

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, went so far as to warn State Department officials that they should leave their jobs if they did not agree with Mr. Trump’s agenda, after State Department officials circulated a so-called dissent memo on the order.

“These career bureaucrats have a problem with it?” Mr. Spicer said. “They should either get with the program or they can go.”


This is sickening and frightening.

I wonder if Trump thought he'd be more popular with his early moves. Like, he'd be a hero and the best president since Andrew Jackson. ;)
