Should Jeff Sessions Resign?

Are you saying you think Pence is going to be President before 2020?

No

No I just wouldn't be surprised to see pence execute his 51st vote to break a few more ties

Got to laugh at 'fake news mantra.' Watching F & F while doing some applications, Scaramucci is following Doocy's meme that the harsh words towards Sessions has resulted in an expected announcement that he'll be opening an investigation into the leaks. Considering this has been reported for quite awhile, it doesn't work. Wouldn't be surprised to see Trump fire Sessions in the next few hours, undoing all this 'transparency.'

How about they take the 'health care vote win' and work on the tax reform?

Ok, before I could move to post, they've sequed to 'Is Tillerson really just taking time off?' Well, perhaps...

[Kathianne]

Heard some of these yesterday, perhaps Trump will rethink the Sessions attacks and take the 'he gets it now' meme?

Speaking of no-account "Jeff's" @jimnyc where's that worthless hillbilly hiding? Probably running a leftwing message board on the sly with Gabby.

I'm never sure anymore, maybe he just doesn't like me anymore? LOL He's off riding his bike here and everywhere for the summer and nicer weather. I'm sure he'll hopefully get to popping back on here when the weather starts getting colder!

Trump needs to focus on anything but Sessions. If he fires Sessions, Tillerson might decide to leave. High turnover is indicative of poor leadership. Just as he wants time to turn things around, so should his staff be given time.

Not sure why he didn't go with Rudy, whom he has known a long time.

Rudy did not want to give up all his foreign entanglements.

I agree. Besides, Sessions is and was more 'Trumpy' than Giuliani would ever be. In any case, Trump picked him, Priebus, Bannon, Spicer, Tillerson, McMasters, and the rest. Pretty much he's dissed them all.

Now it's being reported that not only Matis, but the Joint Chiefs overall, are quite upset that an announcement on Twitter instead of an order in the form of an EO, was used to 'announce' a major change regarding the military-which is is not. That takes an order and 'normal' procedures include some discussion with those leading the military. Social media discussions or pronouncements do not constitute an order.

He's definitely unorthodox, however, at some point some stability is needed. Not complacency ... just less turmoil in WH. There's enough turmoil in Congress and media.

Didn't Obama allow gays and trannies in via executive order ?

Black Diamond. YES he did with this ...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13672

And, the President can REVOKE them....

The president can revoke, modify, or supersede any executive order: Presidents often undo the executive orders of their predecessors, but they have rarely retracted or overridden their own executive orders. “This early on, to admit that you’ve made such a huge mistake would be very politically damaging,” says Alvin Tillery, an associate professor of political science at Northwestern University. “And I think that the response with protests and so on, it would just give further fodder to people who want to challenge [Trump’s] policy positions.”

Well said. Hopefully he moves forward officially.
