Defiant Trump mocks Democrats over order

Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON — A day after firing his acting attorney general for refusing to defend his new immigration order, President Trump mocked his Democratic congressional critics Tuesday and demanded that the Senate confirm his pick to lead the Department of Justice, Jeff Sessions.

"Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!" Trump tweeted, referring to the top Democrats in Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.

Democrats blasted Trump's dismissal of Yates and pledged to make it and the new Trump order a part of the debate over Sessions' nomination.

“The firing of Sally Yates underscores how important it is to have an Attorney General who will stand up to the White House when they are violating the law," said Schumer, who has choked up while discussing the impact of Trump's travel ban. "Many people have doubts about whether Jeff Sessions can be that person."

I expect Trump to start tossing refugee children off the WH balcony while eating a roasted California Condor, because he is the President and the Republican Party has his back.

Aka concentration camps.

And if he did that here in Iowa all his groupies in Congress and the at various levels of state government would be right there to kiss his ass over it. Hell Branny would probably come back from China to be on hand for the opening of said "reeducation centers."

Fm: Real Tears Chuck Schumer
To: KGB Plant Donald Trump
Subj: Fuck You

1. I repeat myself: Fuck you.

2. When you find an AG candidate who doesn't think the only thing wrong with the Ku Klux Klan is that they smoke marijuana, we'll think about confirming that person.

3. When you find a Supreme Court candidate that doesn't think truck drivers should be willing to freeze to death for the Glory of Old TransAm, we'll think about confirming that person.

4. When you find an Education candidate who isn't the brother of a war criminal, maybe we'll think about confirming that person too.

5. Oh, the Obamacare repeal thing? For-fucking-get it. Half the Republican governors in the country are begging us to leave it the hell alone. So we are.

6. And by the way...tweets are now subject to public recordkeeping requirements. You know those tweets you've been deleting because they're too embarrassing? The bill of impeachment for destroying public records is going in the hopper tomorrow morning.

As always, your friend Chuck
