Trump should just keep publicly flogging him because it shows his true character. Its a sad day for the confederacy when a whiney, spoiled brat from NYC can bully and humiliate a high level government official from the deep south and not get so much as an ounce of blowback from his own party. They are all afraid of the Humiliator in Chief. Sessions is a turd - he should at least have the self-respect to punch back at his bully.
Yes, I don't care for many of his decisions but he appears to be an honest man. He did the right thing recusing himself but Trump believes he knows better.
If Trump wants to blame someone for his recusal then he needs to look in the mirror.
First of all, just because someone does one thing "honestly" does not make them an honest or good man. Sessions was pilloried even by those of his own party when it was suggested decades ago that he enter the judiciary.
It was good he recused himself - but that may simply show that he knows the law and didn't want to become embroiled more than he already is (remember, he "forgot" or "lied" depending on your views...about the Russian meetings and what they discussed).
If Jeff forgets stuff like that he has no place in the AG's office as the lack of such a memory proves either falsehood or mental problems.
On the other hand - I'm with you that he should not resign in any case!
it's funny how Trump supporters don't understand so many of the simple things about Democrats, law, and the world.
So let me explain this, in the hopes that it might sink in:
1. Democrats are contemptuous of Sessions. However, they also clearly understand that in firing him, Trump would be acting (as usual) as a heartless, self-centered bully. Democrats understand the basics of fairness and property. Trump doesn't.
2. If you don't clearly understand the recusal, then you need to have someone explain the basics of ethics and conflicts of interest. Yeah, Trump's frustrated - because Trump wanted a lapdog to do his bidding, regardless of law, tradition, or morality.
I'd be happy if Sessions resigned, but if Trump fires him, it just confirms yet again what an egomaniacal monster Trump is.
During the confirmation process Sessions was bashed by the democrats and the media. They called him a bigot and a racist. Now after Trump has called out Sessions publicly, those same people are sticking up for the AG amid rumors that he could be fired.
I personally think Sessions is doing a fine job, but I can understand Trump's frustration over his recusal. So I just want to get Trump haters on record. Should Trump keep Sessions or fire him?
I think he should not resign so that Trump can fire Mueller. I don't like Sessions' politics, but have nothing against him personally. In addition, Sessions gave up a senatorial career to become the AG at Trump's request. Why should that fat clown of a president be allowed to ruin his life?
But, Giuliani and Cruz have the same politics and I personally find them both extremely distasteful.
And I think it would be extremely dangerous to allow an ignorant would be dictator to appoint a lap dog as AG.

I understand perfectly the reason Sessions gave for recusing himself. I think Trump is upset that Sessions (lawyer and career politician) lacked foresight concerning Russia at the time of his appointment. It is good to know that the majority of Trump haters are all of a sudden fine with Sessions serving as AG.
As far as lapdogs go:
Quote:
Attorney General Eric Holder brushed off a question Thursday about when he might leave the administration. Instead, the top lawman professed his allegiance to President Barack Obama.
"I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see," Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show.
Trump is acting like a teenager, lashing out @ Sessions on Twitter. Sessions has to be a strong man to stay under the circumstances. ]Trumps actions only proves he immature and like having people stroke his ego, Sessions is not doing that! I really think #45 would like people BOW down when he enters the room..."F" Trump.
If he fires Sessions, that show his inability to get along with people.
I don't care if Sessions stays or goes. But it's bizarre to watch someone publicly trash his own staff in the news every day.... and for a reason that is a non-reason. Even Ann Coulter and Giuliani agree that, legally, he had to recuse himself. THAT'S the problem people are having with this situation, and it has nothing to do with Sessions' political beliefs or whatever.
I never cared for Sessions. Trump is on him because he wants him to quit because he knows that Rosenstein
won't fire Mueller. He needs another worshiper in Sessions job.
