Dictators only have suck up to him people working for and around him. He will eventually have ALL of his people in and he will try to figure out how to get congress reduced to just his people.

I predict an exodus at DOJ.

Trump just F'ed himself. I think he just sank Sessions' nomination with this knee jerk reaction.

This administration gets more Nixonian by the day.

It reads as if it were written by some whiny middle school brat passing a note to a nonconformist announcing that she's been kicked out of the Super-Secret Cool Kids' Club.
