And he still can’t keep Obama’s name out of his goddamn fucking mouth.
Also, does this mean we get a liveblog today??? The one at the WH dinner was hilarious and I hope the Root can do more.

Seems like we are due some “checks and balances” on the office of the President. Trump’s doing things no one imagined a President would even think of doing (not in a good way).

  I mean Nixon fired people investigating him. So that’s kind of similar.

  Unfortunately, the GOP thinks the “checks and balances” are in place to stop Democrats, rather than create good government. See also: Nevermind the Russians, the House Oversight Committee has announced it’s going to investigate the deal made with Iran during the Obama administration. Priorities.

Trump didn’t just fire her, he went in on her and was mad spicy in the statement released to the public
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. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.
Ms. Yates is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.
Now I am sure Yates knew she was going to get shitcanned for bucking Trump’s policy, but nonetheless the crass statement released by the administration is unlike anything I have ever seen. I am not holding out hope that Yates is sitting on a bombshell but I am sure she will relish her opportunity to testify.

  How hilarious that Trump demands laws be followed, how conservatives wanted to impeach Obama for not enforcing the laws, and now that Trump is instructing the IRS and EPA to stop enforcing laws you hear crickets from all these “principled” conservatives.

  Every time Trump goes on about Yates or administration leaks he reminds me of my (Trump-lovin’) brother-in-law.
  My BIL has a venom for his first wife much in the same way, and has this obsession with what his now ex-wife did to him. The ex broke ALL HIS TRUST and SACRED MARRIAGE BONDS so he seethes about. How? She “snooped” into his VERY PRIVATE EMAILS AND TEXT MESSAGES and NEVER COULD BE TRUSTED EVER AGAIN.
  Oh, she caught him cheating on him while doing that, but that’s NOT THE PROBLEM - SHE SNOOPED AND ADMITTED IT!

Just goes to show you how much our standards of presidential behavior are governed by a sense of propriety and not by law. Which is meaningless for a guy with no shame whatsoever.

  I know right? I have always been pretty knowledgeable about how the government works but this presidency has been a lesson to me in “oh wait, that’s legal”.

The idea that the president—the guy who’s in charge of the Justice Department—is threatening a witness is really kind of disturbing.”
Jesus, Christ, CNN, take the fucking kid gloves off. Seeing fresh roadkill is “kind of disturbing.” The shriek of a colicky baby is “kind of disturbing.” My bathroom the morning after a rare night out drinking is “kind of disturbing.”
The leader of the erstwhile free world intimidating a witness in a federal case is not “kind of disturbing.” It’s full-on disturbing. It’s un-fucking-thinkable. It’s a motherfucking outrage. God, fucking damnit. Demure understatement is out of style, motherfucker. Say what needs to be said or get the fuck out of the way.
A seriously, how the fuck has nothing Trump’s said/tweeted/etc risen to the level of being illegal or at least open to a civil suit?
I realize that most of the awful shit he says isn’t illegal, he’s just exposing a system that didn’t feel like it had to put rules on absolutely everything because it assumed that anybody who reached the position of President wouldn’t be, you know, a gigantic lumbering fuckwit without any sense of tact or decorum.
But holy shit, has he really managed to go this long without saying something that gets him into actual trouble blows my fucking mind.

  Because in order for any of that to happen, you have to have someone in place willing (and able) to enforce the law.

“The idea of the president of the United States essentially threatening a witness, he’s basically accusing her of leaking, we have never had that before. We’ve never had presidents who did this kind of thing. The idea that the president—the guy who’s in charge of the Justice Department—is threatening a witness is really kind of disturbing.”
I’m not so sure that’s the norms changing, so much as someone installed in the White House who has no business being there (which he demonstrates more each day with more and more of this flagrantly unethical & borderline felonious, and frequently actually felonious (and why he fired Sally Yates and hired Racist Sessions, in the hopes that he’d never be properly punished for his repeated transgressions), repeat behavior just kind of ignoring them.
It doesn’t mean that those norms of behavior have vanished.
(Anybody who saw the Profiles in Courage Award ceremony last night at the JFK Library knows that.)
And I can’t help but feel like that’s kind of an important distinction to make in a time when standards are poised to slip.
That’s one of the things a relentless misinformation campaign does - it normalizes and makes acceptable the unacceptable. It’s our job as citizens to remember exactly how unacceptable that kind of behavior it is, and properly attribute it to the perps (yes, I said it) to whom it belongs.
Let’s not forget who this other guy has been the entirety of his faux-professional life before being propped up by cheaters & fascists like Bannon and Ryan and Yertle McConnell and that morality-devoid Mitch Mulvaney.
