> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Oh, and as I write this, the CBS morning news is playing a clip from a rally last night where Trump is saying that he can president better than any president except Lincoln. You see, the best presidents win Civil Wars, and so trumpster fire is just going to get us a new Civil War, then he can be the best president. ---

> [@voltaire](#): > > I dunno, if Trump finally works up the nerve to fire Sessions and try a recess appointment so he can have Mueller fired (assuming McConnell conveniently leaves him the opening), I think he’ll finally manage to get some serious pushback. Or, if he is dumb enough to try to veto the Russia/Iran/N. Korea sanctions bill that takes away his ability to loosen sanctions without congressional review. I know there will be naysayers, but there’s _just no chance_ that the shit doesn’t hit the fan if either of those happen. Shit has been spraying off the fan since January 20, and the Republican Party has just gone on smiling and saying it’s chocolate. ---

…just listen to Scaramucci talk [complete and utter nonsense about the healthcare plan, Sessions, leakers, and how it wasn’t the president who told him to fire someone.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4T0lkVrBE4) Cuomo: “Did the president tell you to get rid of this guy, he’s one of the leakers.” Scaramucci: “I’m not going to answer that question.” Cuomo: “Why?” Scaramucci: “Because I just said I’m not going to answer that question.” Cuomo: “What happened to being straight?” Scaramucci: “I’m straightly not answering your question.” And that was probably the most least offensive part of the exchange. I didn’t think it was possible that this administration could put someone on camera that was more loathsome than Conway, Spicer or Huckabee. But Scaramucci takes the cake. ---
