    Since he fired the last one, as soon as Trump gets another US Attorney for the SDNY they can get right on that investigation (I'm just guessing on the jurisdiction re: Hillary). I think it would be great just to either prove or disprove the innuendo.

    Shocking.

    Whatever you think of Tillerson, he's one of the few guys around the White House whose life experience in serious international managerial matters dwarfs that of the Donald's.

    And why would Tillerson want to quit? Perhaps here is one reason... his president is an idiot...

    Trump erroneously says Lebanon is ‘on the front lines’ fighting Hezbollah, a partner in the Lebanese government

    You can tell when Trump just learned something. It's so funny and sad. It's like watching a child learn.

    If you mean a child like Eric Cartman, then yes. Normal human children, no -- he's more rude and selfish.

    Cartman is like the best model for predicting Two Scoops next tweet or move that I've been able to imagine. (Except that Cartman is more clever and intelligent overall.)

    Honest Question: did you just make that connection?

    I said the same thing earlier today for the first time, and I don't know how it took this long, because it just is too spot-on.

    Weird: yes, only when posting that. Wish it was less of a good fit.

    Perhaps we had to see him with boyscouts.

    Not related to Trump's staggering ignorance, but it's weird that that guy calls him "the late" President William McKinley. Is it "the late Alexander the Great" and "the late Genghis Khan"?

    Trump is mad that sessions didn't fire everyone involved in the FBI and replace them with loyalists

    The man really does think like a third world dictator

    It's so blatantly transparent what Trump is doing that it's simply embarrassing conservatives can't recognize it.

    Firing Sessions would make even staunch conservatives turn against him. So, he will keep berating him until Sessions resigns.

    Then, he will appoint someone who will fire Mueller, and thus the Russian investigation is brought to a halt.

    Geez, guys, for someone who is supposedly innocent, he sure is going to extremes to eliminate the investigation. Think about it: Sessions is the one guy who is successfully driving forward Trump's agenda on immigration, etc. So, why in the world would Trump submarine his own agenda over a Russian investigation if there is nothing to investigate???

    What is Trump afraid of? If he has nothing to hide, why not welcome the investigation????

    This is a harrowing article that probably warrants it's own thread. However, it is a long read and too big to post all at once. If the cluster**** of the DOE is being replicated in other areas, we are truly ****ed.

    As a career civil servant who has seen political tides ebb and flow, I can assure you we have never seen incompetence that matches our buffoon and goons.

    Here is the opening paragraph...
    It is worth your time to read.
