Donald and the DOJ will just ignore any demand from the House, and the newly Trumpified Senate and newly conservatarded Supreme Court will do nothing. We're fucked.

Sorry, Tim. It's over.

I am afraid you are correct unless the Republicans in the Senate grow a spine.  Yeah, you're screwed.  Well really the world

I wonder what percentage of Americans could explain why dismissing Sessions could (even theoretically) constitute a threat to democracy.

The Senate will be more tethered to him than before the midterms. They have a larger majority so Mitch is no longer beholden to the few moderates left to confirm appointees, and the new Senators owe their seats to Donald's base. The Senate belongs to Donald now.

Yep. And where Trump had once been tempted to denounce the Republican establishment to score points with his own base, he gets a lot more ego boost now from vilifying Democrats.

Which is why there is really nothing to do with the House but to make Donald's life as difficult as possible.

They still need to pass budgets.

And what a great time to do that. It worked amazingly well for the Republicans.

Where was this moderation in the appointees again? :hmm:

They did pull a few nominees that were so grossly unqualified that even several Republicans balked.

The White House claims he "assaulted" one of their staff during today's briefing.  Video is in the link.  I would love to see the rest of the sane networks left boycott White House briefings and events till he is reinstated.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46133268?ns_campaign=bbcnews&ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=facebook&ocid=socialflow_facebook&fbclid=IwAR1z2AkL0qEBtZU05qUb4_KVrw2j_TtrDy4VqHxjwrXd7dspGRWjtoCFH5k
