OK, who is he going to "fire" next?
And when?
Let the game begin!
from the other direction--last one standing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Trump just stated he is going to "fire" the Assistant Director of the FBI (I believe he said) who is retiring on Sunday....before he retires so he gets reduced benefits. I am sure the person put in for retirement long ago and think it would be near impossible to fire at this late date. Moron Trump just trying to flex his flabby muscles.

My news feed says it's Sessions that's going to fire McCabe, not Trump, but Sessions may just be doing Trump's bidding.
Regarding Sarah Sanders, I have been amazed at how drama-free her tenure has been. She's really done a great job--very poised and skilled at side-stepping Trump's enumerable lies and half-truths. One little faux pas and maybe she will be fired.

I know Alex. I’m kind of hoping he gets fired so I can continue to respect him.
although, I would be ok with him doing something good and still managing to go unnoticed.....

I read that a little wrong.......and thinking "Hey, can Sessions fire Trump??" and I got all excited for the possibility. :)
It should be Jared Kushner but we won't be that lucky.

I really hope not Sarah. I have a crush on her ....like in a hot trailer trashy kinda way. I really like those crooked eyebrows. I affectionately call her , “Sarge.”

LOL!
Someone here once compared Sarah Sanders to a hostess at Applebee's. I've never been able to see her in the same light since. She does dance a fine dance of verbiage, though.
I'm surprised Sessions has lasted this long. He seems to be one of T's favorite whipping boys.
I see Sarah Huckabee as like Annie Oakley. But mostly I see her as a robot.
McMaster? I've heard he's on the short list. Maybe Nikki Haley, now that she's crossed the line and criticized Putin's Russia.

Trump just insinuated that Putin was involved in the poisoning of the Russian spy living openly in the UK. Somehow, that doesn’t fit that storyline JaneV2.0.
Why all this propaganda about Russia? Shouldn’t we wait for a credible investigation before heads of state make accusations? Isn’t that how we ended up going to Iraq? I trust the intelligence community ....about a 1 on a scale of 1-10. Based on their performance in the recent past. Maybe Russia did do it but if they did it was the stupidest way to do it....timingwise and of course use the nerve agent they developed in their military. Russia has asked for samples? Do you think they’ll get it?
Why havent we heard one jot of news about Suadi Arabian misconduct in the world? Because we are entwined with them for funding. I’m just saying, this Russia narrative....you have to demand evidence first or we are going to end up in another conflict that’s going to ramp up the warmongers and feed their ravenous appetite for arms production.
How is Russia a threat to us? I still haven’t figured that one out.

Could be said for a lot of things.... i.e. Clinton emails.....

Its hard to have a credible investigation if the investigator permits the suspect to sort through the evidence and destroy what the suspect deems inapplicable. Every search warrant I ever served.....tons.....the suspect was immediately separated from the source of evidence in order to preserve it. If that means reading about soccer practice, well that’s part of the program.

They've reportedly hacked our nuclear power grid, in addition to our elections--sounds pretty threatening to me.
BBC reports that indicators of Russian involvement in the attempted assassination of the Skripals include the specifics of the nerve agent used, the Russian track record of committing this kind of act, and the motive of revenge for what Putin sees as traitorous behavior. Some forty innocent Britons were affected by this latest incident, as well as the two targets.

Tell me one minute in any town where power was interrupted because Russia hacked into the nuclear power grid of that plant? Don’t you think it is curious that it’s always....a “threat” or Russians “could have” done something. Never any direct evidence. Mueller has been wasting his time leaving no stone unturned and has basically come up with what amounts to a parking ticket filed on a few bloggers of Russian nationality.
It’s unbelievable that we could fall for this propaganda again. The last time we pillaged an entire nation under a false accusation of chemical weapons stash. And we threw away our fourth amendment so we could spy on every single citizen of the US to keep us safe. And then, we tortured innocent people. How did Obama put it. Oh yeah, “We tortures some folks. But we did some good things too.” They were “folks. He makes it sound so folksy. But he buried that investigation...sealed all the records so nobody could see how we get stuff done.
We waterboarded a guy 83 Times. Why? Because he didn’t tell us what we wanted him to the first 82 times. But waterboarding works! Even General Mattis said he could get more with a six pack of pop and a pizza from a terrorist. But no, now we got the sweet thing that ran the torture program as the proposed CIA Director.
Don’t waste your time looking at Russia. We need to clean our own house up first before we start pointing fingers and acting all righteous.
There will probably always be regional squabbles in the underdeveloped countries, in the mid-east, and maybe eastern Europe that will use old fashioned conventional weapons. I suspect any major conflict between whatever global super powers still exist will start out with cyber wars of some sort. It's cheap, covert and doesn't involve the loss of lives. It might be a mute question as to whether any attempts have been made up until now, but the danger is real. Shutting down power plants or disrupting financial markets is most likely possible and I think it is good to raise an alarm, whether it is a Russian threat or otherwise.

I personally would cheer and dress up a bit if Jeff Sessions were fired. I know someone in the 85006 who is legitimately disabled due to intense back pain for which they have a medical marijuana card. This person is terrified of Jeff Sessions going after legit medical marijuana patients and I don't blame them. I'd like to think Jeff Sessions knew better but I doubt it - but even so, can you imagine the lawsuit income Jeff Sessions may generate for those he attempts to make victims? I'd sue so fast no human head would be able to spin - it would be like dialing for dollars. One would think Jeff Sessions would know this but I gather he can't grasp that if you victimize people this way, they will strike back via litigation, and some of the winners will use their settlements to legally buy their way into other countries. (Bulgaria is a good bet now as Bulgaria allows you to buy your way in and once you are in the rest of the EU is your oyster - at least once you have a Bulgarian passport).
Point being, Jeff Sessions truly is a stupid man for not grasping how many people would sue for max dollar and then run. Someone with so weak a grasp of human nature, especially in the lower social classes (and in a country in which the middle class is rapidly shrinking and the lower classes are rapidly growing) - is this the type of person who America needs as Attorney General? No. Just no. That simple. Just no. Rob
I agree that Jeff Sessions is an all-around despicable human being--Elizabeth Warren was silenced when she tried to quote Coretta Scott King regarding his character.
Marijuana laws will continue to be relaxed because millions of cannabis users find relief using it (including my relative who recently suffered a stroke, who uses it--instead of opioids--for pain). As much as some want to turn back progress (on many fronts), there are plenty of us who won't let that happen.
I have no lost love for Sessions conservative attitudes, but I do have a small degree of respect for him. It's his job to head enforcement of the law of the land. There are at least a few issues, like marijuana and immigration, that have been handled by presidential executive order or have been historically overlooked, which are flimsy and temporary ways of handling things. Laws that have become obsolete or no longer work should be changed by congress without band aids from the few top power authorities of the day.

You didn’t just say “Congress” and use a verb in the same sentence did you?
I guess that is true, but I did have restraint in quoting Mark Twain, “Congress, that great benevolent asylum for the helpless.”

If there is a federal law prohibiting marijuana that makes no exception for medical use, what would be your grounds for suing the feds for damages if they were to begin enforcing it? And even if you could, how would you go about establishing that such enforcement caused you to be harmed?

Federal law does not distinguish medicinal or recreational use .....both are punishable. There are consequences for people who simply obtain a state medicinal marijuana permit....they cannot purchase a firearm. Which means some people will choose to self medicate with black market illicit drugs instead of monitored medical marijuana just so they can keep their right to bear arms which is a terrible consequence. I personally find that a chronic alcoholic is much more dangerous around firearms than anyone who uses marijuana.
