Will you shut the holy fuck up until then?
(I’m sure the answer is no.)
I’ve just been watching analysis of this story. It does seem as if Sessions’ threat was enough to back Trump off the actual firing. For now. As much as I loathe Sessions, it’s refreshing to see at least one cabinet member (sort of) stand up to the dipshit in the Oval.
I think Giuliani is just the latest comfort goat. Surely Rudy knows he can’t negotiate the end of the Mueller investigation. On the bright side, it buys Mueller a couple more weeks as they go through the kabuki dance.
Still, it could all come to a blow-up fairly soon. I think Trump will eventually cave in to his impulsive nature and fire Rosenstein. But if Sessions quits on top of a Rosenstein firing, I don’t think Trump can slide anyone new into the slot who would limit Mueller’s investigation. Pruitt is ruined, despite the fact that he’s still hanging on by his fingernails. Who’s left in the cabinet who would be willing to destroy (what’s left of) his/her own personal credibility to put their weight on Mueller? Maybe Rick Perry? What’s his incentive?
Anyway, interesting to learn about Sessions’ finally picking a hill to (sort of) die on.
Since Trump would love that, I’m not sure what Sessions is thinking here. Because it sure isn’t that he has some sort of integrity.
What principles that man has.
I could quack like a duck, if I was a duck.
I have no idea what that means or how it answers my question.
I was reading something today that was saying Giuliani is just feeling things out to see if he is in any trouble. He could be told that he can’t represent Trump because he is a subject of the investigation himself.
And Perry can’t move into the Attorney General spot since he’s not an attorney. Who else in the cabinet is?
Yeah, I wondered about that as well. He was way, way too close to Team Trump during the campaign, and he knew too much when he shouldn’t have known it.
Wasn’t sure about Perry’s status as an attorney. Pruitt was Trump’s great hope, but he’s blown himself up. Will be lucky to stay in the job he currently has.
Alex Acosta, Secretary of Labor, fits the bill. But he’s a McGahn guy so may not be willing.
Also Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen. She’s probably Trump’s best bet if Sessions flees the circus.
Agreed. Until mr. green’s return, I exclusively use mr. dubious where I would once use roll eyes.
Like so. :dubious:
GQ question: one has to be a member of the bar to become AG?
edited to add I should have googled first: Does the attorney general of the US have to be an attorney? - Answers
The answer is Nope
Jared has a JD. He could be AG.
How many giulianis does it take to change a lightbulb? 9/11.
Its a Move. Different from a “move” in that it is bold and dramatic! Il Douche is the kind of man who believes the myth of born leaders who make bold and decisive moves that other men are to small to perform. Lesser people are stunned and amazed, his enemies reel away in confusion and disarray. A single, perfect white dove descends from the sky, and shits on his head.
Not getting through the Senate under any circumstances.
About as useful and accurate as any other “prophecy”…but slightly entertaining if you imagine it being said in the voice of The Amazing Criswell from “Plan 9 From Other Space”.
0.81818181… Giulianis? So One Giuliani could change 1.22222222… lightbulbs?
Yes.
That’s exactly the conclusion that you were supposed to draw from that post.
And how would he do that without violating current laws and regulations?
Another question for you: Have you ever known anything regarding what you’re talking about?
You’re asking the wrong person, because the last time someone called him out on his opinions, he explained to us that he was indeed smarter than everyone else here.
I didn’t know that. Looking back to 1900, all of them have been attorneys. But I can see Trump nominating someone who isn’t since experience and knowledge of the job are not qualifications for his picks. So it could be Rick Perry!
That’s probably the best of the current options–it doesn’t quite convey the same message as an Eye Roll, but it’s in the ballpark.
