And it is referred to as a typo.

He's a crook.
Remember when Nixon came on TV and said, "It's important for the American People to know that their president is not a crook. And I'm not a crook!". So I suggest that Trump address the people and assure them that he's not a crook, either. I wonder if that would make things turn out better than they did for Nixon? His zombie base would probably prostrate themselves and do hosannas to the TV and it would make great comedy for SNL.

Maybe he could do it as a special edition of Celebrity Apprentice. GAry Bussey and Dennis Rodman could use the work.

Yes I do. I'm 50- and I remember that.

It would be good fodder for sure.

Morons.

Meh.
Session is just the most recent man to get the blame for Trump's own problems. Trump never owns them himself- someone else is always at fault, or guilty, but never him.

Trump is a child all dressed up in an old man's suit. Like any kid, he always points his finger at the kid standing next to him whenever he's caught in some transgression or other. It's been like this all his life.

I'm not saying Sessions is a saint- he's not, and he was a lousy choice for AG. A smarter President would never have chosen him.

Where is the special Council to go after Hillary? She broke so many laws taking money from foreign countries when she was Secretary of State . We all know this was pay-to-play. We all know it was a slush fund.

Oh, no way.

You see Trump was honest. There is no fooling - He should come out and say " I am now doing away with the Fed Gov and constitution. Please go home and await instructions of what hotel rooms you are assigned to clean".

EVERYONE knew who Trump was. Nixon was a good guy who made mistakes.

Trump is bad guy who said "I am not a good guy" and was elected.

All of us are getting what we deserve.

Trump could be Putins apprentice.

In that game the contestants leave each week, but no one can seem to find them anywhere. Hey, you voted for this.. Even if you voted for Hillary, you voted for this system.

Funny, but true.. and then not so funny.

No sugarcoating, no skating around the subject.

IF he really was a leader, the majority Congress of his party wouldn't be floundering around not accomplishing a damn thing, would it?

"I would not have selected him for AG, if I had known he was going to recuse himself from Russia."
How honest can one be?
Did he hurt Jeff's feelings? No! Jeff has known how "The Donald" has felt about him freaking out and recusing himself too quickly. Other than that, he likes his choice.
The guy isn't too blunt. He isn't too straight forward. He isn't a politician, in your back pocket, either.
I'm liking the guy, more and more, if not just for the openness and brutal honesty.
It would be refreshing, if in fact we did have an honest leader. The one we have now lies approximately 75% of the time.

He is going to end up impeached, resigned before impeachment or in jail.
