Rule #1 for department heads is usually don't piss off your appropriations committee.
Normally, yes, but if your position is that your Department should not exist and all public land should be returned to the States for natural resource exploration, it makes a certain twisted sense.

Would really interest me what ideology was driving him. Like what was he (thinking he was) trying to do.

i never asked for this

quote:

The D.O.E. makes its home in a long rectangular cinder-block-like building propped up on concrete stilts, just off the National Mall. It’s a jarring sight—as if someone had punched out a skyscraper and it never got back on its feet. It’s relentlessly ugly in the way the swamps around Newark Airport are ugly—so ugly that its ugliness bends back around into a sneaky kind of beauty: it will make an excellent ruin.

as the world turns
The Boy Scouts released a few half-assed statements about Donnie's wacky speech a few days ago and this time they actually did the full apology.

quote:

But for our Scouting family at home not able to see these real moments of Scouting, we know the past few days have been overshadowed by the remarks offered by the President of the United States.

I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree. That was never our intent. The invitation for the sitting U.S. President to visit the National Jamboree is a long-standing tradition that has been extended to the leader of our nation that has had a Jamboree during his term since 1937. It is in no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies. For years, people have called upon us to take a position on political issues, and we have steadfastly remained non-partisan and refused to comment on political matters. We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program.

There's certainly precedent for an apolitical organization shutting Trump down and taking the mic. But then he lied about the preacher and people attacked her for being political by refusing to let Trump use her church for political speech.

And if it gets shut down I guess we may have an idea of how much people really care about possible collusion, right?

Thankfully he'll probably get every Democrat onboard (Depends if Cory Booker decides to be a turd that day), and some Republicans. Defecting on this isn't as big of a deal as trying to kill all the poor people by taking away their healthcare, and there's got to be a ton of them who just want to get off the ride at thos point. Hopefully a lot of them decide to play ball, it's really the least they could do.

I feel like this is the Senate suggesting to Trump that firing Mueller doesn't make him go away.

quote:

“If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay. Any effort to go after Mueller could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency, unless Mueller did something wrong. Right now, I have no reason to believe that Mueller is compromised. If you have reason to believe he is compromised and shouldn’t be serving as special counsel, let me know,” he told reporters.

That's a strong statement.

The GOP are always focused on being re-elected at the expense of literally everything else. So figure out whether turning on trump, or not, matters based on that.
