These jerks didn’t need fuel. They’re not accepting losing the election.
Steamroll the Dems!
NOW!
Meanwhile, Lynch met with Bubba prior to the FBI announcement.
Holder and Lynch both refused to do anything about the IRS.
And Dems are upset that Trump fired Yates for gross insubordination.
If the President is a Democrat, the AG is supposed to promote that President’s agenda, regardless of the law (e.g., Holder & Lynch).
If the President is a Republican, the AG is expected to oppose him, regardless of the law.
OK, I got it.
Nonsense. They and their accomplices in the media have been on full obstruction mode since the election. NOTHING that Trump does will make the slightest bit of difference to their hatred and contempt of him (and by extension we deplorables who voted for him) and their all out attempt to derail his (and our) agenda.
Yates serves at the pleasure of DJT.
Recall your summer vacations: “Mom! Sally is touching me!”
Obviously part of the Democrat plan. Duh.
This is the true legacy of President Stampy-Foot. Childish!
Simply put ,there no longer exists a reasonable social consensus in this country. The Democratic Party has become the vanguard of one world/no borders globalism with little real regard for border security, immigration laws, traditional American culture or heritage. They have values vastly different than the people that elected Trump.
Fake News: They were ALREADY opposed!
I’m sure they don’t want Sessions as AG.
It is becoming apparent Trump is going to turn over rocks...
No it doesn’t. The ‘RATS are just playing commie obstructionist political games. Whineyass sore losers.
BS- they were never going to approve him anyways- they didn’t need any ‘firing up’
Dems are in panic knowing that the dirt will come out and it will roll downhill. Unfortunately, there are rinos that are culpable here and defending the Dems.
We all know that the mccriminal and his girlfriend are hiding behind chuck U’s butt.
They just recessed for the day.
Dear God do I love that man! Donald J. Trump gets it done! When I read what that witch (acting DOJ lead) said in contravention to President Trump’s orders I thought that if he is only half of the man that I think he is then she will be gone by tomorrow (now today). Sure enough another scumbag dog is out in the street! Such a weird feeling to have a President who inspires such love of country. Haven’t felt anything such as this since Ronald Reagan. (In my book, Trump has already surpassed Reagan after Trump’s actions from his first week.)
“Praising the actions of acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, who Monday night defiantly announced her refusal to defend in court the president’s executive order banning refugees and travelers from some Muslim countries, Democrats questioned whether Mr. Sessions could be counted on to act independently of the president when warranted. Within hours of Ms. Yates’ announcement, Mr. Trump fired her, referring to her actions as a betrayal of the Justice Department.
“What we saw last night demonstrates what is at stake with this nomination,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, Vermont Democrat, “
Yates refused to carry out a lawful executive order - lawful both as to form AND function. There is no legal question whatsoever that the President has the authority to ban immigrants (especially on a temporary basis) from any country he deems appropriate. Her failure to do so - WITHOUT any legal reason, just “I don’t like the policy,” is a clear violation of her oath of office and of legal ethics (i.e. you either represent your client to the best of your abilities, or you resign from the engagement).
Yates SHOULD have been fired, and any objection to that is pure and simple politics, not anything having to do with the laws of this country.
If the Dems want to play games, fine. Because Donald Trump is smarter than all of them and not only can, but WILL outplay them. How about McConnell decides to take the Senate into a recess starting at about 5:00 P.M. EST on Friday, and resume work at 9:00 A.M. EST on Monday morning. That’ll give Trump the ability to make recess appointments for not only Jeff Sessions, but Tillerson, Price and any other cabinet officer being held up by the Dems. Oh, yeah, and also his Supreme Court nominee. Then the Dems will HAVE to allow hearings and votes if they hope to stop them and Trump (which, of course, they won’t).
Please, Dems, continue to be obstructionist, pretty please, with syrup on top!
