If Wray leaves, who follows him in leaving in protest, etc. This could get ugly quickly. Ok, to add to the above, Washington Post adds that Trump may be looking at firing Dep AG Rosenstein. The bold below is pretty insightful - paranoia is setting in and look for crazy actions to follow. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/with-fbi-statement-on-memo-christopher-wray-could-now-be-in-the-presidents-crosshairs/2018/01/31/01fcbfd6-06ad-11e8-94e8-e8b8600ade23_story.html?utm_term=.77bb043bb903 Quote Trump also is said to have recently suggested firing Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who, because Sessions recused himself, is supervising special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s contact with agents of the Russian government. According to a person familiar with his comments, the president has told advisers the memo might make people realize how the FBI and Mueller are biased against him, and that could give him reason to force Rosenstein out.

Moiraine Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm totally disillusioned at this point, so I think Trump will win this fight. I have no faith in the GOP. They'll let our democracy die for Trump as long as it helps them personally. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Wait...I thought McCabe resigned.....It's official now that he was fired by Trump? Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I see the dishonesty rolls downhill in the Trump family. It's actually amazing how much Jr. screws up when it comes to basic facts about government (& reality.). He's a silver spoon trust-fund baby if there ever was one. 1 Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm confused. Colin Kaepernick kneels during the national anthem, and it's an inexcusable affront to the brave men and women in our military and police forces. Donald Trump recklessly undermines the most respected law enforcement agency in America in an attempt to save his own ass, and the flag-wavers line up behind him. This is exhausting. 6 Link to comment

Instead of it being one night its been 6 months of drips ... drip ...drip. Link to comment

Serious question. Is this really a serious question about immigration? Should we only take people from countries that are wonderful places to live and people are in heavenly happiness? If so, I'm glad that wasn't the case when my family immigrated here. My ancestors were from a country that was in the middle of economic troubles and in the process of a build up of causing two world wars while slaughtering millions of innocent people and over 300,000 Americans had to die to stop them. 2 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If we're being really honest, a lot of people would call Haiti a s#!thole. Even people living in Haiti. But if we're still being honest, a lot of people would call Nebraska a s#!thole. Donald Trump wouldn't set foot in a most red states without a motorcade rushing him to a cheering auditorium. So if the person who is setting policy for your s#!thole country or s#!thole state calls it a s#!thole, it's not the word that offends you so much. It's the confirmation that he couldn't give a s#!t about you. 2 Link to comment
