NEW Attorney General - he's WORSE, much worse.

He won't last long. He has many skeletons. Just wait. Hee!

America slides further into Handmaids Tale territory. What a world when old Southern racist Jeff Sessions looks sane by comparison.

Yes he is horrible.

He looks fucking evil.

And here's another possibility for the permanent replacement.

Remember when Obama couldn’t get Tom Daschle appointed HHS Secretary because he didn’t pay taxes on a car service he used or some bullshit? How the fuck do Republicans get away with appointing these right wing nuts every fucking time they take power and Democrats can’t get the former Senate Majority Leader conformed by a Democratic Senate?

This country is seriously wobbly.

Closet case.

Sessions last chief of staff was Stephen Miller aka Gargamel Jr.

Expect similar results.

Buckle up! It's gonna' be a bumpy year!

He is compromised by the Secret Lesbians. He must be stopped.

Don’t be shy R1, please tell us what you know.

He does look evil.

Nice haircut.

He looks like Fisk from DareDevil.

Couldn’t even get elected in Iowa.

Looks like a closet case with a wide stance. Sorry, I know, we don't want him.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

He looks like Lex Luthor. A big pudgier though.

Whitaker:

^^^^^Gurl Please!

I'd hit it.

I could not tell if he looked more like a psycho, a woman-beater or a closet case but I decided he resembled a combination of all 3.

I thought this was Lindsey's job. He won't end Mueller

He bald.

His suit in OP’s link reminds me of Luthor’s anti-hero presidential bid in the comics.

This maybe a Great time to go to Costa Rico and surf and practice yoga every day

He looks like one of those men that rapes children.

The pedophile

Did you say RICO, r27?

I'd suck his dick

Oops Costa Rica.

RICO = Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, likely one of the laws Mueller is using to prosecute Trump

Rosenstein Out.

I think you should just kill yourself, OP. Right now. Why wait till things get WORSE!!!!!

Rod Rosenstein replaced!

Well, that's it then. Game over for America.

R36, if you think it's over and there is no livable future, shall we all kill ourselves now? Would that make you feel better?

I'm looking to move to a liberal, western state. I don't want to be living in the wrong place when the revolution starts.

[quote]He won't last long. He has many skeletons.

You are truly deluded if you think a right wing Trump-loving Jesus freak can be brought down by "skeletons in his closet." He is way toooooo valuable to the criminal Trump family. Dream on.

R33 that is a crazy right wing reported for some BS news agency

#notmyattorneygeneral

R34, go sit on a turd, you cuntlicking asswipe.

It doesn't help that he looks like a "Hogan's Heroes" Colonel Klink henchman.

R35 Interesting. So now he doesn't have to fire Rosenstein now?

[quote]It doesn't help that he looks like a "Hogan's Heroes" Colonel Klink henchman.

He reminds me of a turd burglar from Vern Schillinger's gang on [italic]Oz.[/italic]

R33, OAN is for those who find Fox News too liberal. Of course I guess you know that already.

I've seen this somewhere before. Can't think of where.

Ken Dilanian:

Whaddaya know: Mark Whitaker, now in charge of the Mueller investigation, chaired the 2014 campaign of Sam Clovis, a grand jury witness in that investigation.

Why can't anyone stop Trump? Every move he makes is the move of a guilty man trying to avoid accountability, from Kavanaugh to this pudgy loser.

All in due time....

Here comes the Pain.

He's been corn fed.

And probably corn holed

Me in charge now!

[quote]R34, go sit on a turd, you cuntlicking asswipe.

You want to be an alarmist asshole than take what comes to you, OP.

Fuck your neurosis.

^then

A homophobe replaced by a homophobe.

R1 is a cunt. When you have tea, you don't keep the whole pot for yourself.

He can't be trusted....he's a crossfit bro

Any airport men's room stories? Please?

Crossfit? I thought Curves.

Handmaiden tale is happening you guys! We all should shit scared

He looks like someone who'd go to a KKK rally.

I haven't trusted that guy since he tried to kill Superman.

Didn't he use to breakup fights on The Jerry Springer Show?

As a lifelong resident of Alabama, I must thank tRump for ridding us of Roy Moore and Jeff Sessions (HAHA!). Both, have been buried politically. Now, how do we rid the world of DJT? Does Mueller stand a chance of getting any indictments? I am beyond disgusted by 45.

Someone needs to make sure no new nominations will be voted on until the new Congress takes over after Jan. 1. If that can happen, whoever Trump nominates as AG will have to get at least 5 democrat votes in favor in order to get through, since the GOP will only 55 votes. I can't see that happening especially with this filthy racist scumbag. I doubt he'd even get all the republicans to vote for him.

R67, there is no way that Democrats can block nominations. It only takes a simple majority to approve the Attorney General nominee, whoever that is.

The best he can do is throttle the investigation for about a month.

Then the Dem House will have him marching before them....and Mueller too to report on progress and how the investigation is being overseen.

A lot of wishful thinking in this thread. He is hot I must state.

He even just looks crazy

He looks like one of the bad guys in a James Bond movie.

Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out on his show tonight that if Whitaker impedes or interferes with Mueller's investigation the House will almost certainly bring Mueller to talk about it. He would presumably cooperate, and then Whitaker would be called before them to explain his actions.

Trump will not out-manouevre Mueller in the long run. It probably won't happen until he's left office but the truth will come out.

Some perspective:

[quote]Folks, let’s take a deep breath and look at what’s before us. Trump is freaking out b/c he’s cornered. Firing Sessions and placing a dickweed in his stead is not going to work for several reasons. The first being it appears to be in violation of the law 28 USC 508. Under the statute, it appears Rod Rosenstein may be Acting Attorney General. Regardless, Mueller and Rosenstein have been fully prepared for this eventuality. I promise you they have countermeasures. We will probably see many indictments unsealed in the coming days. These indictments have been around for some time and are ready to go. Trump knows that once the new Congress begins its session, he’s done. Not so much from impeachment but more from the investigations which will ensue. Nunes will lose his chairmanship to Schiff, Nadler will probably chair judiciary and waters will chair ways and means. The amount of justified pain Trump will endure from these investigations will help end his presidency and he knows it. All Trumps done is speed up this process. Have faith, Patriots. We will win this.

He had a tight end in college

It begins

Moby threatens to move to Canada is Trump is re-elected.

[quote] I have to say, like everyone, I am on regular occasion Googling, ‘How do you become an expat? How do you get Canadian citizenship? What are some other countries I consider moving to?

What would the Deplorables do if every talented person, the leaders of their fields — science, technology, medicine, entertainment— who aren’t also Deplorables themselves, just left the country? I know they think America would be better off without Democrats, but I don’t think they realize what a depressing, failing shithole country it would become.

R77 No one's moving to Canada. I can't think of a single celebrity that actually carried through with their threat to move to Canada after Bush and Trump were elected

Had him-- tinymeat bottom.

"tight end"

And, R76, he was a wide receiver.

[quote]Had him-- tinymeat bottom.

Moby? I didn’t think he was gay. My boyfriend peed on his bed in Montauk years ago because he was being an asshole (Moby was, I mean—my boyfriend was just a problem drinker at the time and wanted to exact revenge).

If Mueller is fired, can the House, under dems, get all of the info he has collected?

If all the evidence hasn’t been thrown into an incinerator by now.

If our country is under siege then Mueller should leak it. Surely there is a law that protects such and act. Perhaps whistleblower laws. Or he could accidentally leave the report on a train.

The evidence, the files, the reports, etc., are all safe. Mueller and his team of prosecutors prepared for any and every eventuality. There are likely multiple copies of everything they’ve collected and written, hidden all over the place. They’re not idiots. Trump and his people ARE.

All 20 boxes.

He is a white Supremacist...like Steven Miller.

Clearly prides himself on looking like a thug.

I can imagine him lifting at weights at Tobin's and drinking skis at Timmy's....we need to pull the yearbooks and calendars and double check he wasn't part of Bart's bang gang

Of course. Anyone being replaced by trump are going to be just like him. He want total loyalty and obedience by his minions.

He looks like an evil thug.

R69 the second best thing he could do is throttle my holes for an evening or so.

How long until all the skeletons start falling out of his closet? You just know that the guy is a crook.

Thank you R75.. hope.

He looks like a strapping SS boy toy who is Himmler's personal driver and his secret lovah! It took just a few hours to expose this guy for a phony, grifting, toadie. Just like everyone else in Trump's circle jerk he's not too bright but extremely ambitious. And we can thank old George W for mentoring him and seeing to it that he got a job in Iowa that he wasn't qualified for. Just like the one he has now.

Moby or Whitaker, R80?

He's *not* the Attorney General, nor can he be called the Attorney General. Congratulations, Trump. You've just triggered a genuine Constitutional crisis. Asshole. Cabinet level offices must be confirmed by the Senate. This fool hasn't been nominated, let alone confirmed. Trump has seriously shit the bed. Of course the Democrats in the Senate will take his ass to court. Same thing happened in the '70s and Nixon lost. Trump will lose.

This boy is CRAZEE. He's on fire for the lord and wants bible-based justice. He needs to be in a psych ward not acting as AG of the USA.

Trouble ahead. AG's have to be confirmed by the Senate. Trump cannot just appoint. Unconstitutional. And if he does get away with it, and the new AG shuts down Mueller, the House will subpoena his report. Our President is out of his mind. Easy conclusions- not guilty- no reason to suppress, just like the taxes he will not release.

Just saw this on twitter

It's not so easy this time for der fuhrer... hehe..

He looks like Corporal Punishment!

CNN is reporting that Mueller and his team are writing their final report.

[quote]He's *not* the Attorney General, nor can he be called the Attorney General. Congratulations, Trump. You've just triggered a genuine Constitutional crisis. Asshole. Cabinet level offices must be confirmed by the Senate.

It's not that straightforward. There are two sets of rules that apply: one if Sessions was fired and the other if Sessions resigned. Because Sessions officially "resigned," even if he did so at Trump's request, the second set of rules applies and Whitaker is indeed the interim A.G. for a period of 240 days or something like that.

Now this can go to court and a Judge can rule that a resignation under duress is indeed being fired, in which case the first set of rules applies but I'd be willing to bet that the Supreme Court overturns it and gives Trump the benefit of the doubt.

I don't know if this applies here but past administrations have secured signed but undated resignation letters from their cabinet officers on their first day. Then it's just a matter of filling in the blank and informing the unwanted official his resignation has been accepted.

This is a code red.

Whitaker apparently advised trump on how to weaponize the Justice Department to investigate Trump's adversaries.

[quote]Whitaker was an outspoken critic of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe before he became the chief of staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions in September 2017. That has rightfully raised concerns that Whitaker might now attempt to sabotage Mueller’s investigation. But new information suggests that Whitaker — while working for Sessions — advocated on behalf of, and attempted to facilitate, Trump’s desire to exploit the Justice Department and FBI to investigate the president’s enemies.

...

[quote]But two other people with firsthand information about the matter told me that Whitaker, in his conversations with the president, presented himself as a vigorous supporter of Trump’s position and “committed to extract as much as he could from the Justice Department on the president’s behalf.”

...

[quote]Whitaker also counseled the president in private on how the White House might be able to pressure the Justice Department to name a special counsel to investigate not only allegations of FBI wrongdoing but also Hillary Clinton. Trump wanted the Justice Department to investigate the role that Clinton purportedly played, as secretary of state, in approving the Russian nuclear energy agency’s (Rosatom) purchase of a US uranium mining company.

Didn't Trump say he didn't know him?

Yup, R110, which resulted in derisive laughter everywhere.

[quote]CNN is reporting that Mueller and his team are writing their final report.

Type faster, Bobby Three-Sticks!

Um, isn't this guy a dangerous, international assassin?

This is so fucked up. Not to mention pathetic and laughable.

They need to get Whitaker the fuck OUT of there. Like, yesterday.

His appointment is unconstitutional.

If only republicans cared about The Constitution anymore.

If he wasn't privy to classified information that Mueller has because of Session's recusal then his only reason for being appointed is to find out as much as he can and pass it along to Kushner and the Trumps before he gets the boot on constitutional grounds. He can do a tremendous amount of damage in a short period of time. What I really don't get is why the sane among them in the Republican party continue to stay silent and inert when they will have to live in this country along with everyone else who is getting fucked. And there will be consequences when the Dems open up all of the investigations into shady behavior, dark money, collusion with a hostile foreign government, or governments, and the usual self-serving back room deals. A pointy reckoning is in their futures and all that money they have scammed from the majority of Americans won't save them. Might keep them out of jail for a while but not forever.

[quote] What I really don't get is why the sane among them in the Republican party continue to stay silent

If you're still a Republican under the current administration, you are definitely insane.

Getting wackier by the day with these people.

Sketchy.

LITERALLY right down the shitter.

Trump's Acting Attorney General was an active participant in a scam company that marketed "masculine toilets"

No way in hell would Trump need one of those big cock toilets for his little mushroom. Whitaker is a sick fuck, but he must have a massive schlong.

He wants people to THINK he has a massive schlong.

He's got needledick-face.

"He won't last long. He has many skeletons. Just wait. Hee!"

But, what if he does last long?

He looks like the dungeon fist master in a German scheiße video.

It's doubtful that he would ever be confirmed as the replacement to Sessions, but I think, even Trump says he's temporary

He is a fascist Nazi...anyone can see that.

As I have said, Mueller needed to make his move...instead he looked for perfection, I guess.

Now we have monsters in charge of our country.
