Can the Justice Department be moved under the SCOTUS?

Appeasing Trump is no guarantee that you won't be fired, Rod.

Another question: Can an outed FBI agent sue a member of Congress for endangering his or her life and the lives of his or her family?

I believe I understand why Rod Rosenstein is making the decisions he is making to appease Trump.

He simply does not trust the Trump SCOTUS.

This stuff is definite headed toward the SCOTUS at some point. We cannot trust the conservatives to abide by the Constitution but make all kinds of efforts to protect Trump...just like they protected Bush.

We are in serious trouble.

Watching Rachel and recalling the outrage by the GOP when Bill Clinton drop by to see Loretta Lynch

on the tarmac.

Where is the outrage now when Trump summons the DOJ FBI head to the WH to discuss the ongoing investigation of himself and his administration?

Why isn't ALL the media screaming about this? It's because FOX is not screaming about this. Sad to say, but FOX has been setting the tone for all the media coverage of Trump. No one is talking about the hypocrisy of the media covering Trump vs Clinton (both of them) or Trump vs Obama.

When will FOX allow someone from the other side tell the FOX viewers what they are missing as far as truth is concerned.

Who needs Mueller when we have Rachel?

If Trump continues to bad-mouth his media and other corporate "enemies" he's dumber than I thought.

So where is Judicial Watch now that they can have open and shut cases against politicos?

Are they still chasing after the Clintons and Obamas? They have almost no discovery to do with all the Trumpian real corruption and scandals out there.

Not a word.

How do our allies look at Trump receiving 500M from China while asking them to sanction NK and Iran?

We must be living in the twilight zone?

Trump is asking more of our allies and our enemies than he is willing to ask of himself and the US. It appears as though Trump puts his person interests above even those of the US.

If the rest of the world decided to help NK and Iran economically for agreements to never use nukes against them maybe the majority of the problems of the world would be mitigated. People become friendly and support those who support them.

Any GOP who signed the petition for the Nobel Prize for Trump

ought to be primaried, and defeated. They also need to be investigated to see if they had received any Russian money or had any business connections to or in Russia.

We will never know what Trump gave Kim to get those prisoners released.

Tonight it appears that Kim was satisfied what with whatever it was. He brilliantly rolled Trump and got rid of the US prisoners and the headache they posed for improving relations with SK. I don't believe for one minute that we got those prisoners back for no cost.

Also, Kim had to be pissed to learn that China had given 500M to that Indonesia Trump project kind of behind Kim's back. China has imposed certain sanctions on NK at the behest of the US. To learn that China had contributed 500 M to a Trump project while imposing US-backed sanctions on his nation just had to be slap to Kim. Russia and Iran will now swoop in where angels fear to tread.

The Great Unraveling. This is a great read.

I suggest that the reader click on the embedded link on "neoliberalism" FIRST then read the primary article. It's where we are now but I want to know how we can get OURSELVES to do something about it.?
