Is Sessions Next? Are We About to See a Wholesale Firing Spree?

It could be. Trump may be planning to use the bogus House Intelligence Committee's report as a reason to get rid of Sessions and Mueller. We might be on the verge of a purge of Trump's team and replacement with people who will do his bidding more reliably.

It may be that Tillerson's firing is just the beginning for a week of turmoil.

Just as he did when he fired James Comey, Trump didn't have the strength of character to tell Tillerson to his face that he was out.

Trump is a coward. And an idiot.

Republicans have at least promised a world of hurt if he does that. I think they will roll over again

January of 2017. They are no longer even trying to represent their constituents.

Trump's election, though, triggered a complete spinal collapse in the GOP. Only wholesale replacement will correct it.

session fired, replaced, who fires rubenstein, replaced, who fires mueller.


then we have a constitutional crisis of clear obstruction of justice and the republican party will have to decide NOW or be destoyed in Novemeber.

The american people who care about our country will not stomach this crap..

The rule of law is what sets us apart from all other countries including WesternEurope.

Our constitution grants more rights and protections than any other country on earth, whether you agree with some or not!

We can not have a self-proclaimed dictator upset what has been our birthright since this country was founded!!

Once he gets a respite from his babysitter, look out. He'll go after anyone he feels has been bossing him around and trying to be coy about it. He hates handlers.

Sorry but I found that tweet hilariously and pathetically desperate.
