Trump/Sessions rift is real. I'm told Sessions even offered to resign. Asked about that, his spokesperson declined to comment

45 can't afford for him to go at this juncture. Of course, there's nothing stopping him. Smile

Sorry. 45 can't afford for Sessions to go.......

So Scrotus is going to give a speech timed with Comey's testimony. A speech about what exactly? Interesting. It wouldn't have anything to do with wanting to re-direct major outlet news coverage to a 'presidential speech' instead of a 'former FBI director's testimony', would it? Geez Louise, that man is so transparent sometimes!

I know who I'll be watching.

.@EmTSuss: [Americans] deserve a president who can focus on the issue at hand, whereas [@POTUS] appears to keep being driven by narcissism.

A surprising tweet from @FoxNews!

cozietoesie · 07/06/2017 00:52

He needs to think that his .....supporters will choose to listen to him rather than the 'embittered ex-employee mouthing off as instructed by the MSM' (with a side-dish of Obama.) I have little doubt that some 'ratings' will be produced for his benefit.

Maybe some extra Twitter followers as well, even. Smile

saffronwblue · 07/06/2017 01:14

Thanks for the thread - so hard to keep up , but Russia/Quatar is an interesting twist, to say the least.
Looking forward to a rambling shooting self in the foot speech from SCROTUS.

.@POTUS's son is leading a dehumanization campaign against millions of Americans. This is dangerous & needs to be condemned by GOP leaders.

Dehumanization = psychological process of demonizing an "enemy" as sub-human & thus not worthy of humane treatment.

Thinking sets the agenda for action, & thinking of people as less than human paves the way for atrocities.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday cast doubt on allegations that President Trump's campaign colluded with the Kremlin to swing the 2016 election, saying that Trump "doesn't collude with his own staff."

"I don't think [Trump] colluded with the Russians because he doesn't collude with his own staff," Graham was quoted as saying by the Washington Examiner's Susan Ferrechio.

Fox host to Trump: 'Fake news media' isn't the issue, it's you
thehill.com/homenews/administration/336679-fox-host-to-trump-fake-news-media-isnt-the-issue-its-you?amp

Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Tuesday hit President Trump for his criticism of media outlets' coverage of his Twitter habits.

"Mr. President, it's not the fake news media that's your problem," he said on Fox. "It's you. It's not just your tweeting, it's your scapegoating. It's your refusal to see that sometimes you're the one who's feeding your own beast and acting beastly with your own guys.

"Look at the critiques you're now hearing from usually friendly and supportive allies as sort of like an intervention. Because firing off these angry missives and tweets risks your political discussion."
