Wasn't she wearing like a 300 dollar dress/shirt thing to play in the garden with her kids in some video a few months back? Am I remembering that derail correctly?

Part of me wants him to not fire him so the investigation can go smoothly and justly.

But the shitstorm firing him would cause.... good lord.

The weird Kremlinology that some folks are using with regards to Trump firing Sessions is bordering on Freep territory.

A lot of that is tied in to the difference between how most people assume the wealthy dress all the time and how, you know, they actually do. If you're wealthy enough to afford bespoke clothing you're not going to be wearing that poo poo all the time. Because they don't have to flaunt their money all the time when they go "gently caress it, I'm going to get a burger".

Which makes Donald slapping his son around for not wearing a suit all the more funny.

That's difficult because it's such a sort of cinema verite of his horribleness, what with never exercising, eating lovely fast food, and being an all-consuming blob of evil and all that.

It'd be different if Trump wasn't body-shaming women all the time for being overweight, despite being an obese tub of poo poo himself.

only the attorney general can remove mueller, and only for good reason. trump could order sessions to do so, but that would likely end with sessions stepping down. at that point we're deep into a reenactment of the saturday night massacre with rosenstein next to bat.

Same.

But then I also think that flappers and the like would make their own clothing as well (could be me misremembering a Stuff You Missed In History episode though). Off the rack stuff is more of a modern thing I think. But then so is having more than one nice outfit and worrying about body hair/odor.

Don't forget that Deep Throat was associate director of the FBI. Trump took yet another steaming poo poo all over the IC after the Comey hearing last week, if (when) he fires Mueller you better believe the FBI will start leaking.

I'm about as fat as Trump and I don't have access to the finest, but healthiest food in the world custom made by the greatest chefs on the planet so no, actually, make fun of him for being a lardass because he loves KFC and thinks exercise eats your vital life essence
