it's only monday!

will only look that much better after this termination. Hats off to her integrity by doing the right thing and resisting Trump's directive.

This administration has already well eclipsed Nixon's for the most corrupt.

They've only just begun. They will push the wedge issues until it creates social violence and mobilize the ascendant poloice state (especially since most law enforcent personel supports Trump) as a domestic military to suppress the created chaos and entrench the nationalistic and fascist control Bannon is engineering.

I thought maybe America had 2 weeks..
Now.... I don't think so....

That is messed up. Trump dude is losing it.

As I understand it, nobody will be able to sign them until the senate confirms a new AG. She was the only congressionally approved lawyer at the DOJ...which is why she was held over from the Obama admin. The newly minted temporary AG has not been.

I'm kind of speechless at this point, other than random obscenities.

She was the only person with such authority, and Trump just fired her.

He hasn't been congressionally approved.

"until Jeff Sessions is confirmed by the Senate where he is wrongly being held up for purely political reasons"

Of course Nixon fired two until he got one who would do his bidding....Robert Bork.

In the end Nixon quit so it did not save him. We shall see how much patience the Republicans have with this orange bozo, you might think they would be worried about that jerk putting their party behind the 8 ball for decades.

To be "Borked" is a parlance in Washington and culture in general meaning to lose all credibility or fuck something up royally.

Seems like he's begging for it. Will the GOP stand up to this idiot...or will they let us become the banana republic they've always wanted, complete with crackpot dictator.

those happy days when we thought it would never get worse than Nixon. I was so young, so naive <sigh>.
