I hope Trump fires Sessions right as he leaves the office for vacation.

And then his confused staff has to explain to Trump that no, no, no the plan was to fire Sessions when Congress went on vacation, not Trump!

Does "the dreaded vote of confidence " from sports apply to politics?

Edit: For those that don't know, in sports, when an owner says of a coach, "we have full confidence in him" in response to media speculation, it means that coach will be gone within a month.

"Border Patrol Ordered To Block Congressmen During Travel Ban"

http://www.thedailybeast.com/border-patrol-ordered-to-block-congressmen-during-travel-ban?via=twitter_page

quote:

On the chaotic day the Trump administration’s travel ban went into effect, high-level Homeland Security officials directed their staff at airports around the country to stiff-arm members of Congress and treat lawyers with deep suspicion.

The writing is a little over the top. CBP officers were ordered not to talk to the media or Congresspeople. But gently caress CBP.

Affirmative action is an incredibly flawed institution that frequently abandons minority students the moment they successfully apply and offers little additional financial or academic support, but mega lols if you think trying to improve will achieve anything but a glorified "keep the darkies out" policy

Any military goons want to weigh in on how top generals will take Trump poo poo talking them and acting like he knows better than they do? How do they feel about Trump using stories about New York restaurant consultants to illustrate how we should be approaching Afghanistan?

Are they more likely to be like "gently caress this idiot" or "YES STRONG DADDY SIR!"? I have no idea how a General thinks.

Remember that one general Obama fired because he mouthed off about how horrible the Afghanistan strategy was in Rolling Stone magazine? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/us/politics/24mcchrystal.html?pagewanted=all I'm sure they're all like that but have learned to keep the commentary to themselves.

Even he's not rich enough to buy a California senate seat (maybe if he buys a house in Michigan...), and only MILLIONAIRES are representatives. The House would be ~beneath~ him and his 'populist' ways.

The memo — dated July 30 and titled "Communications Plan" — appears to be a detailed outline for White House staff with five ranked "priorities," labeled: "Improve the Culture," "Comms is a Customer Service Operation—POTUS is the Number One Customer," "Make the News—We Go First," "Fill the Content Void," and "Jobs, Jobs, Jobs."
