Senate isn’t in recess. Boente still has to be confirmed by Senate before anything he signs is legal.

Nixon on steroids.

Ah yes, fire those who dare to cross swords with the Imperial Wizard!

While within his rights, this is just one more episode of a dictatorial attitude for those who oppose his viewpoint. No class for sure, but then we knew that from the moment he left Melania hanging back on the steps of the WH as he alone entered. No class indeed!

Maybe Bannon can do this job as well!

Obviously, the legality of the order is in question. Otherwise, the Attorney General would not have questioned it.

Trump has a long history of breaking the law. Just because he’s President that doesn’t mean legality follows his lead.

We, the people of the United States, run the country.

“The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States.”

So Bannon and Trump decide what’s legal now, on their own. They interpret the “laws” they make, by edict. There’s a name for that… Hmmmm…

BTW Ms. Yates. ACLU are probably hiring now. We could use you there.

Nixon without morals or scruples. Or intellect. Or any experience with government, or any capacity or desire to learn.

I wonder what President Bannon will do next? We should ask PeePee.

Was that WH statement written by a five-year-old child? Or just a drunken imbecile?

Guess the Department of Justice will be a bit short-handed … just like the President!

Well, with this included

until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons

we can be certain it’s a wingnut soooo I’m going with “drunk imbecile” soooo that would be President Bannon.

Trump has to paint anyone who defies him as “weak” even though her action was one of the strongest actions I have seen since Nov 8th.

Trump and Bannon are digging a very deep hole. I only hope the courts and Dems can find the courage to bury them in it.

Jesus, this is nuts. We’re ten days in and already it’s the Saturday night massacre. I’m really starting to wonder if the Trump Presidency will last until summer. This is crazy. This is starting to make Nixon’s Presidency look like FDR’s by comparison. It’s not a train wreck. It’s an ocean liner going over Niagara Falls.

I keep thinking of this scene in Bad Santa every time I think of Trump’s Presidency:
