I was reading that Sessions' colleagues in the cabinet, as well as his colleagues in congress, are angry about how Rump is treating Sessions. Without firing him. Something they all apparently take personally.

I think his allies in the russian money mobs will be of only weak assistance to him in this skank-birthed imbroglio, as he continues pissing on American democracy and the American people.

Russia, if youre listening, I hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, Mr. Trump said during a news conference here in an apparent reference to Mrs. Clintons deleted emails. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

(49,010 posts)That's what tRump did, called for the Russians to collude with him, called for it publicly. He is a Republicon.
Democrats don't call on foreign powers to do dirty work for them.
Period.
Perish the thought.

(1,139 posts)attack the people you need most to make government work. Yeah, let's see how that works for you!
This illustrates why he never should have been elected. He is not a politician and he has no idea how government works. He has the money and so he has been the head of his companies his whole life. He could keep them running his way (not the best, but he still got everything his was) because he was the boss and there was no one else above him. People HAD to obey him.
Now he has his very first job where he is not the boss, he serves us. He thought, in his naïve little mind, that he was going to have the top boss job in the country and he would rule everything. Obama was weak because he did not know how to rule. Didn't Obama know that you bark out orders just right and then everyone kisses your ring and do exactly as you say? Everyone before him was weak and he was going to show them all.
Now he is faced with reality. No one is obligated to work with him. But he is an old dog and he cannot learn new tricks. All of his life he has had enough money to coerce people and get away with not paying them when the bill is due. He bullies and 'goes around the media' to get his fake point across without his many intellectually stunted followers calling him on things because what he says makes no sense. He has such a bad temper, and those close to him are so afraid of a meltdown, that they shield him from the truth and what he needs to know to actually govern in a proper way.
My friends and I discussed, last night, what would happen with this Russian sanctions bill. Our money is he will throw a tantrum and tweet out he is not going to let it go through and so he will not sign it, not realizing that it will eventually go through if he does not sign it. This whole thing is an exercise in stupidity.

(37,648 posts)He's saying a source who is an ally of Paul Ryan & Priebus is saying that he thinks Trump's plan is to go to war against the GOP, NOT that the GOP is going to war with Trump?
That now Trump thinks he is issuing orders to McConnell and has that right to do that?
And that the GOP won't do tax reform or infrastructure, in retaliation, if Trump is mean to them?
If that's what he's saying, I don't believe Congress will pass on giving their rich donors tax breaks because Trump is mean to them.
