Plus I think Sessions' resignation pours gas on the timeline for drumpf's discharge. Congressional spine is no sturdier than Sessions' is - and it will need SOME to start taking action to dump him. I'm not sure Sessions is their last straw.

Plenty of weasels ready to gulp drumpf's shit if they're made AG; I'm not convinced Rosenstein would spit it out, either

Just a couple of days ago, Sessions acted to revive asset forfeiture processes

Now drumpf wants his ass forfeited

ironic?

I wonder about many of the non-military people hanging in there; and about Gorsuch - "hey, aren't you the justice controversially appointed by the worst president in the history of the United States?" can't look good on your tombstone

Gorsuch doesnt work for trump, and I doubt the fact that trump appointed him affects his work life. He's likely a Republican tool through and through so I doubt he cares about how he got his appointment.

outside of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, the military's running the only active components of our government - he's probably busy

drumpf is funny pretending he's an actual Republican. Actual Republicans should eternally own that they didn't show him the door when he came down the escalator

Anyone in a role like his has spent considerable time cultivating his/her reputation. That process either sensitizes you to things that help it/hurt it, or activates already extant sensitivities. Unless he's a robot - hey, from his judiciary philosophy, let's not rule that out - "how he got here" isn't something he forgets, or even pretends to forget

Sure is:
He noted the adoption issue came up in the June 2016 meeting between his son and Russian visitors. “I actually talked about Russian adoption with him,” he said, meaning Mr. Putin. “Which is interesting because it was a part of the conversation that Don had in that meeting.”

But the president repeated that he did not know about his son’s meeting at the time and added that he did not need the Russians to provide damaging information about Mrs. Clinton.

protests in Poland over the government in the vein of Venezuala:
WARSAW — Step by step, the Polish government has moved against democratic norms: It increased government control over the news media, cracked down on public gatherings and restricted the activities of nongovernmental organizations.

Now the party in power is moving aggressively to take control of the last major independent government institution, the courts, drawing crowds into the streets and possible condemnation by the European Union.

The party is pushing to jam several bills into law; one would force all the nation’s top judges to resign, except those it appointed. Another bill, already approved by Parliament, would ultimately give the government control over who can even be considered for a judgeship.

In Brussels on Wednesday, a top European Union official said that if the changes were made, Poland might slip outside the bloc’s definition of a democracy.

But its status as a regional star has been endangered by the rise of the Law and Justice Party. Since assuming power in late 2015, the party has moved to co-opt or weaken potential rivals, beginning with the Constitutional Tribunal, which could have declared its moves unconstitutional. Now dominated by government supporters, the tribunal provides a reliable rubber stamp for government initiatives.

Law and Justice supporters have been put in charge of public television and radio, which now adhere to a firmly pro-government line. Independent oversight was removed from the secret services. The justice minister was named chief prosecutor, formerly a separate and more independent post. New regulations were imposed on public assemblies.

the head of the party is a crazed loon consumed with hatred and has a persecution complex

Olbermann has likened portions of drumpf's NYT interview transcript to episodes of Drunk History. He has a point

I feel like this quote from the NYT article is all you need to know about where the Furher's head is:

“Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the president,” he added. “How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, ‘Thanks, Jeff, but I’m not going to take you.’ It’s extremely unfair — and that’s a mild word — to the president.”

Everything is about Donald J. Trump.

Sessions isn't about to resign, he has decades old ideas about crime that he needs to perpetuate and follow through on.

FiveThirtyEight's take on the recent PPP poll:

45 percent

Percentage of Trump voters who believed that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer during the election, which is very low given that Donald Trump Jr. personally tweeted out the emails detailing the planning of the meeting, discussed attending the meeting at length in an interview with Sean Hannity, and also that the president discussed the meeting which definitely happened, in print yesterday.


TO BE FAIR, posing the fact as a question inserts some doubt into the idea that DJTJR met with the lawyer so it's probably not a good polling question. Or, people are being stupid.

if I'm an employer I strive to remove people who hold "beliefs" like these from my payroll, because, objectively, they process information ineffectively and may harm themselves, their fellow employees and/or my business. They're not forming opinions, they are ignoring salient facts
