Yesterday,, listening to Rush talk about football injuries, I wondered whether the government would ban football once it takes over "healthcare" because of the financial burdens it places on everyone else. Certainly cigarettes would be out, and maybe skiing too? Everything except anal sex.

European weighing in here. It's certainly true that all contact sports were banned as a result of socialised healthcare. Sometimes you might see underground football or rugby matches played by teams of desperate fugitives in grimy backstreet venues like the Stade de France, Old Trafford or the Bernabeu. Also we gaze longingly at the majestic mountain ranges such as the Alps, the Pyrenees and the Carpathians, wishing that we were allowed to ski on them once more but, alas that privilege is reserved exclusively for American tourists. At least we can have as much anal sex as we like though.

As hot Beltway rumors go, this one is extra spicy, but doesn’t appear to have very much meat on the bone. It started with an anonymously sourced story from Politico which claimed “department staffers” were suggesting that Jeff Sessions might be moved over from the Attorney General slot to replace departing General John Kelly at Homeland Security. Given all the scrutiny Sessions has been under, paired with conservative pushback against the idea of his being fired, it’s easy to see how this might look tempting to President Trump… at least in theory. Fox News runs down the potential scenario which could play out.

He can focus on drugs and immigration in dhs. Apparently the only two things he really cares about. And a more competent AG Cam be assigned. Also they can fire Mueller and investigate the democrats.

don’t see how it helps. It puts Rosenstein, probably a never trumper, in the driver’s seat until a new AG is sworn in.

President Trump can select any current confirmed DOJ appointee official as interim Attorney General. Rosenstein does not automatically become interim Attorney General should Sessions leave for DHS. Trump could just as easily select Rachel Brand, DOJ #3 interim Attorney General if he choses.

There is talk that if Trump were to move Sessions over to DHS then he could bring Scott Pruitt, his EPA administrator (Cabinet Level Appointee) over from EPA to DOJ to be the new full time Attorney General. Pruitt, like Sessions can move to another Secretary level Cabinet position WITHOUT having to go thru the Confirmation process again since they've already been vetted and confirmed.

Before Trump tapped Pruitt as EPA Administrator, Pruitt was Oklahoma State Attorney General. Good thing for Trump is that Pruitt will not have to recuse himself and can take the reins of Mueller's special counsel investigation away from NeverTrumper Rosenstein. Pruitt on his own authority could fire Mueller and blow up his investigation or at worst neuter and restrict the investigation to the point where Mueller may just quit.

This scenario could go a long ways towards putting an end to this nightmare Mueller probe!!

Trump can see the Deep State Swamp fix is in and this all started when Jeff Sessions recused himself. Even worse Sessions brought in Ron Rosenstein who appointed Robert Mueller.

Sessions caved and recused because he is too much the law abiding gentleman. But this did not impact Sessions. This impacts Trump and family. I would be just as angry as Donald Trump.

Obama is a filthy Leftist, who wouldn't have the balls to hire someone like Scaramucci—for good or for ill.

Last time I checked, nobody ever bats a thousand. Over a lengthy career, Donald J. Trump has exhibited some pretty decent hiring and judgement—first in business, and then when he built a campaign team that launched a winning electoral juggernaut, and now he is doing the same as President—constructing a winning team while trimming away the fat along the way.

So pick your little nits all you want; it's the totality of his "hiring and judgement" that this President will be evaluated on, when all is said and done. I, for one, wish him well, and there's nobody in the entire federal government whose "hiring and judgement" I trust more. You?

This was foreseeable. Scaramucci was a childish idiot. He should have never been hired in the first place.

Trump lost points with me with his whitehouse hiring of such idiots.

The story now is that Mooch was brought in to kill Reince and thus left once that was done, and it's a good story, but it's not true.

[fwiw]

Wait a minute. If the whole goal here was to fire Priebus, why didn’t Trump just fire Priebus? Why the need for a middle man?

Too much drama and conspiracy. I think he did good getting rid of Priebus but he sure screwed up by running his mouth when he should not have. Embarrassing.

If true...Trump needs to grow a pair and do the deed himself.

I don't think he has that problem

Priebus had to go because the RINO Establishment would not deal with him. Even though he was one of their own. So he had no value to Trump.

The Establishment sandbagged Priebus and are at fault for his dismissal. But they are twisting the news to make it look like Trump’s fault.

The GOPe is mad about Priebus’ dismissal but it’s their own fault.

I had already suggested this hours ago... it’s SOP in the corporate world to bring in a hatchet man to get the blood on his hands then leave. That way there’s no lingering bad feelings going around with the people who are there permanently.

So President Trump a man famous for “you’re fired.” had to bring in a hired gun to take out a pimple like Reince Preibus. Never mind that the hired gun had been trying to join the administration for six months. The hired gun who missed the birth of his child, sold his company, and whose wife was leaving him over his support of Trump.

If this is true anyone hoping Sessions will be sent packing is in for a rude surprise. And how we propose to get rid of Meuller?

For that matter I don’t remember seeing Kushner on my ballot. Why are he and Ivanka deciding who’s in the staff. Seems like that should be Trump’s decision.

I had written the same thing but two things:

1. Trump has no problem doing it himself.

2. COS does not work for Com Dir, so how did Scaramucci fire Priebus? I guess you could say he forced him out, him or me scenario but I think it would have drawn out over a longer period of time if that was the case.

I like Scaramucci. He is a fighter and that is what Trump needs but he seemed like a fish out of water as Com Dir.

I told my husband this a week ago. Mooch has too much discipline to be such a dumba$$. I watched earlier interviews of his.

Spicer (minor) Preibus (major). Big company SOP. They are not cut by Trump, but they are gone. Needed to happen.

Not a ten day assignment!

Please have your daughter tell her friend to identify himself as black on his application. If he gets called on it just have him say that he self-identifies as black and that he has been putting on fake tan lotion since the 8th grade and studying Ebonics and that he will sue.
I have been claiming Hispanic that I Hispanic for purposes of employment and contracts for a few years now and that will be my defense. Only a fool plays by the rules of a game that is rigged against them.

And to all the squishy, hand-wringing Freepers who might object I have to ask, would you say that it was immoral for a Jew to claim that they were pureblood German to the Nazi Gestapo? If your answer is yes then you are retarded as well as useless.

Actually, because of discrimination there are more women than men in college. It gets worse at the graduate level. My law school has substantially more women than men because of affirmative action discrimination against men.

Although I doubt the Republicans can find anyone who speaks the Asian Language (as they probably see it), this does present a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to make a play for their votes. Offer their kids EQUAL OPPORTUNITY - the same play the Dems made successfully for black votes.

And don’t sell the Asians short, they now have half the population in the US as blacks - in other words, they are a HUGE minority group...but right now they’re owned by the Dems, simply because the idiot Republicans can’t think of a way to reach them.

Same here. I vowed to never use the services of a black doctor (or Hispanic, for that matter) due to not having a way to determine if they are qualified for that job.

But then an Alt-Right friend (really Alt-Right, as in Alex Jones follower) had some major surgery done and I asked what doctor...wound up being a black dude. He was happy with the surgery, so I went through with it...no regrets! The guy knows what he’s doing...just sad there are millions like me that initially won’t trust him.
