The Donald is giving Libtards a bad case of the vapors ... again.
Trump sacking acting A.G. raises new questions about his respect for the rule of law
Why? Was it unlawful?
Quite the opposite. The AG showed she couldn’t follow the law.
“Quite the opposite. The AG showed she couldn’t follow the law.”
Exactly.
The opposite is true! WAPO = fake news
They wrote that headline with a straight face. Unreal.
Such irony, such illiteracy, such projection.
Who pays any attention to the Post?
The B was a political appointee - what’s the problem? That DJT didn’t sack the entire lot of 0bama appointees in one fell swoop?
They need two people to write this trash?
Hasn’t just about every legal expert said today that Trump was in the right?
She was fired for not enforcing the law...and that means Trump doesn’t respect the law?
I’ve found listening to Shawn SpicEr is a daily necessity when reading the news today. The EO was cleared by her own Dept of Justice - she chose NOT to follow the law that her own dept said WAS LEGAL - that’s why she was fired !!!
WaPo - Fake News 24/7
Really? This is unlawful? LOLOL!! Ship these subversives to the middle east.
Someone needs to tell the Washington COMPOST to go SUCK A LEMON..Trump is President he can HIRE and FIRE whoever the heck he pleases
Comparing apples and pineapples.
Yeah!
She was going to violate it.
He was within his rights.
