Jeff Sessions ouster, worst kept secret in DC. I wonder if there was a betting pool on how soon after the election.
Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
Having lost his shit watching the returns come in, and having gone around Emmet Flood (a pattern with these idiots), it now looks like President RageBaby will have to walk back the Whitakreep appt. Slow walk.
Unfortunately for the GOP, none of that will uncomplicate the mess he’s made, or in any way lessen the additional political burdens they will now have to bear protecting the larger criminal conspiracy to obstruct. These latest moves all but guarantee these investigations and criminal indictments will live on beyond OSC and well beyond 2020.

@11 Yeah, like electing people to Congress who represent Americans instead of Russians and Saudis.
@12 Black, brown, what’s the diff? They’re all “others.” Hitler wasn’t picky. He threw gypsies, cripples, and old people into the ovens with the Jews. Anybody who wasn’t Aryan and fit enough to carry a Mauser.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@14 Now what is a black couple doing shopping for a refrigerator in Maryland? Aren’t they supposed to be picking cotton in Alabama?
I think Costco’s risk management team needs to study this one. They might be able to identify some cost-saving improvements, like getting rid of a racist store manager. They could use a new PR mouthpiece, too.
Trump's weird little penis spews:
I certainly don’t think cripples should get “birthright” citizenship. Or any other kind of citizenship for that matter. How can they possibly help my boss MAGA?
Some of the old people are okay if they have lots and lots of money to invest in MAGA. But it might not be a bad idea to have most of the other old people go live in a different country. If retirees went to live in the Philippines or Hungary we could probably save lots of money on Social Security and Medicare. We could build beautiful Trump branded nursing homes for them.

43 years ago today, roughly this time, Michigan time, the SS Arthur Anderson radioed the Coast Guard that they had lost radar, radio and visual contact with another Laker, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. 29 men went down that night, aboard the Mighty Fitz, also called the Toledo Express.

@21 Hey, c’mon, a guy who can figure out how to win at bankruptcy surely can figure out how to win at sinking.
Newt Hoenikker spews:
@21
Evidence suggests that the Edmund Fitzgerald scraped the Caribou Island Shoals and caused damage to the bottom of the hull of the boat that contributed to the sinking. Given your past, the current state of your cabinet, and legal team, me thinks you know a tremendous amount about “scraping the bottom” which leads to a catastrophic failure and an enormous wreck.

Remember the worker bonuses Trump bragged about after signing his deficit-financed tax giveaways to billionaires and corporations?
“Large companies actually cut back on bonuses in 2018 and plan to do so even more next year, according to new data from Aon, an insurance broker. (It surveyed 1,000 businesses with 5,000 or more employees.) ‘It’s particularly startling in light of the fact that the economy is strong and company performance is very good,’ said Ken Abosch, broad-based compensation leader at Aon.”

As much political hay as trailerbillies tried to make of the Menendez prosecution, it’s ironic to think that it will probably be the very last time ever that a Democratic DOJ brings a corruption investigation against an incumbent Democrat. And they have themselves to thank for it. Henceforth, thanks to their fine precedent, the DOJ will be exclusively a political tool of whichever party controls the White House.
