Darnit, where did the Trump White House get the idea of moving Attorney General Jeff Sessions over to the Department of Homeland Security and replacing him at the Department of Justice with someone even more (somehow) willing to let Trump get away with murdering Rod Rosenstein and Bob Mueller? They got it from somewhere, because
Even being ordered to resign is nothing more than a request. Of course, the offer or order to resign usually comes, implicitly or explicitly, with an "or you're fired." And usually, a person given that choice resigns for career and/or severance reasons. But Sessions loves this gig, has no other career or money worries, and Trump is said to be reluctant to fire people (plus, he would pay a high political cost, of which he may or may not have any appreciation). He may be able to stay put until Trump acts.
Another scenario has Sessions refusing DHS, and refusing to resign, and Trump fires Sessions for insubordination. And right wing media will jump to defend the firing as having nothing to do with Mueller and the rest. That Trump had been doing everything short of actually firing Sessions for weeks won't matter much. It was insubordination! Case closed.
I actually thought about that one too, but decided not to mention it because I didn't want to get into an argument with anybody about how ridiculous it was, since there were people on here advocating for it at the time.
"Bingeing," and the MLA thanks you for your service, because those proles on the intertubes don't care enough about the preservation of poetic articulation.
I wonder if it might actually be better to have Sessions at DHS. He's cranking up the damage at DOJ to 11 already. Today's newest missive is starting a working group to start harassing colleges that use any type of affirmative action that may "hurt" white applicants....and maybe if Trump pulls this stunt and puts Perry at DOJ to fire Mueller, the constitutional shit will actually hit the fan?...also, Donnie has been fucking around with the line of succession at DOJ by Executive Order. Twice since January. Not sure how that might come into play.
Hey, I got my hopes up too, that's why I remembered it! But, yeah it was pretty ridiculous. Of course, if you said a couple of years ago that McConnell would hold up Garland's nomination for 310 days, I would have also put that into the "dumb scheme" category, so I figured, two dumbs make a smart.
I have this dumb idea myself*, that after the Democrats are back in charge after the midterms, they'll expand the supreme court to 11 justices. You know, in between impeaching Trump and passing single payer.
* At least, I haven't noticed anyone else suggesting it yet

I live on the OR coast and MLB blacksout SF, OAK. & SEA. I don't mind.
I like it although I was hoping for something involving a guillotine.
Gravity is a liberal lie concocted by the Chinese.
Hide the fucking nuclear football. OK?
Yeah. Reich carries a lot of weight with the meth addicted clodhoppers.

Now they can go back to arguing the Oxford comma.
Some possibility of air turbulence, and not enough air masks against flatulence.
