In 45 mins the crowd has tripled and our signs are being held high and our chants loud. We will not rest until they #FireSessions! pic.twitter.com/O7UgzbcO7y

Hmmm
A countercoup, I see. Oh, well, all in the name of a peaceful transition of power. I hope your Administration doesn't suffer from leakage, Ami. I'm off to the woods after marking my place.

Great thread title, as always.

The Aftermath has always been of concern to me, Lweji.

Great thread title, as always.

HamletsSister beat me to it. I love the use of NM as the dark side equivalent of MN. Lovely contextualisation. (Although Lweji must be credited for keeping things on track in our hour of need.)

Also, I find Michelle Obama's lovely warm body language towards Dubya particularly fascinating given how frosty she was towards Trump on inauguration day.

Today I watched legislators wander the Capitol looking for a draft bill. One spoke to a statue. Very normal stuff.

GOP says Sessions has no conflicts on Russia investigation. So I guess Sessions will be deposing Sessions to find out what Sessions said.

He's mortally wounded, either way.

I know! Jeez, it might have helped them, the idiots. (Although if your stated intention is to destroy the system, why start by cooperating I guess).

Apparently Trump'll be speaking at 2.30pm US time?

We've now reached Pay to Play status in the WH......

So, some news orgs can't even get in to WH press events, but others are allowed to usher people into the Oval to discuss policy? COOL.

Ooh, apparently that's in 20 minutes. What are the bets? Fake news? Muslim ban? Firing Sessions? Boasting about his ratings? Fake news?

Heartbroken Russian Ambassador Thought Special Meetings With Jeff Sessions Were Very Memorable trib.al/PjQNevw

Stop discussing fake news, you are all part of the elite

I hope his address is an utter shit storm that causes people to go into action. This is getting absolutely ridiculous now.

"Daniel Dale Retweeted POLITICO
Spicer in 72 hours: I meant that Mr. Sessions was heterosexual while mistakenly claiming he never talked to Russians."

That was my first thought when I read Spicer's comment.
They always use double meanings. Quite useful.

Who asked something like what is it that they don't like about Obama?

That expression "Is it because I is black" springs to mind. But I think they'd have any issue with a popular (at least recently) Democrat President.
