> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Maybe this job has driven him to drink. Reports on CNN are he is livid about Sessions recusing himself and that this weekend is the angriest anyone has ever seen Traitor Trump. Why would he be livid about someone recusing himself like that; does he have reason to think that an investigation will reach a different conclusion if headed by someone else? ---

Probably his worst weekend yet. But we’re only six weeks in, so lots more fun to come. He’ll get a news cycle change on Monday when he will reportedly sign [Immigration Order 2.0.](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/322375-trump-expected-to-sign-new-travel-order-monday) ---

It’s obvious, isn’t it? This reflects badly on him. He chose sessions, so sessions recusing himself makes trump look bad. ---

> [@](#): > > There’s also the fact that now he won’t have Sessions in his corner if a Russian probe does come along. But apparently he will have Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente, who was third in line after the firing of Sally Yates (who hasn’t been replaced) and the recusal of Sessions. Boente was removed from the line of succession by Obama, but put back in position by Trump, so he sort of owes him. > **[Without fanfare, Trump reverses Obama order on Justice Department succession](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/02/10/trump-executive-order-obama-justice-department-succession/97752898/)** > > Trump's order puts his former acting attorney general officially second in line at Justice. ---

Ok, but let’s just assume for a moment that Obama really did tap Trump’s phones. Wouldn’t that mean we should lock Obama up? And is there any possibility he’d share a cell with Hillary? > [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Maybe this job has driven him to drink. Reports on CNN are he is livid about Sessions recusing himself and that this weekend is the angriest anyone has ever seen Traitor Trump. This kind of news bugs me. CNN reporting on how “angry” the president is, like some kind of nener-neener moment for lefties, feels childish and empty in the hyper-partisan way I’ve come to expect from Fox or especially Limbaugh. But then again, unsubstantiated allegation tweets about Obama are direct from Trump himself- hey lefties, here’s something stupid to talk about! In both cases, it makes me wonder if there is any significant legislation or policy in the pipe that I could be looking at instead. Except it is Trump, so the contrived, surreal atmosphere could simply be a clear look at things. ---
