Trump's 'Ready, Fire, Aim" Tweets At Sessions Are Reckless And Ridiculous

Says Ron Hosko, writing for Daily Caller.

Is that so? Trump is reckless and ridiculous while you're stable and sensible with your silly mischaracterization of Trump's communication.

Hosko spends his first five paragraphs describing the history from Trump introducing Sessions during the campaign to Sessions being selected for DOJ. Then two paragraphs on Sessions recusing himself from the Democrat's bogus Russia investigation as if there was nothing unstable about that whole thing.

Trump talking gets on Ron Hosko's nerves. Good.

I thought I was the only one thinking why should I care that someone is irritated by Trump saying what he thinks, as Trump does in his well reasoned way that confounds his detractors and distracts them to non compos mentis, while reading Hosko's grievance, until I continued through comments. Nobody at Daily Caller is having it.

I'm definitely one to occasionally think Trump still goes overboard, but when it comes to Sessions; Trump can't go overboard unless he shoots Sessions for incompetence. I'm tired of Dems pissing on my leg, but there isn't much I can do about it. Sessions leg has been pissed on so much that raw sewage should be to his neck line; yet he persists in doing nothing.

This is Ultimate Good Cop/Bad Cop.

People fall for it and I can't figure out why.

Sessions is doing what Trump wants. If he weren't, he'd be gone.

I have also read that what Trump and Sessions maybe doing (and I hope this is true) is making Sessions seem separate from 'The Donald' so if any action comes out of the AG's office against Democrats there is plausible deniability it is not partisan.

But I also fear Sleepy Dog Jeff Sessions is really just a sleepy dog. I wait and see and hope Sessions does his job.

edutcher, I think he is a little less likely to fire cabinet people after what went down after firing Comey. There is a lot of BS in the media, but there is also a lot of drama behind the scenes. But we have seen Trump do this dance before, so we wait and see.

All these ossified bow-tied stuffed shirts who don't like Trump because he's "intemperate" probably haven't had to make a snap decision based on gut instinct in their lives. Much less run a business. They're part of the problem because they are so invested in the establishment order of business in which big government always wins (interspersed with occasional victories for individual rights and small government).
For which they run in and take credit and then go back to promoting the establishment.
They don't really understand how things get done in reality.

Amartel said...

Also, like the Dems, it's inconsistent with their brand to make an effort to understand Trump. They immediately jump to the worst possible conclusion.

As I've told you all, this is what happens when you hire a senator to oversee a bureacracy. They 'Senatize' it. Everything becomes plodding, deliberate, weak, and even more instutionalized. Fire Sessions and get someone in there that can actual fucking do something other than generate more paperwork for more investigation that lead to nothing.

Amartel said...

Apparently, Hosko's a former FBI guy.
Clarifying context.

Trooper York said...

We need a hard charging ideologue in the Justice Department. A Giuliani. Of course the original Giuliani is too old. You need an obscure one. A former US Attorney with the credentials who can come in under the radar. Those guys are hard to find.

Leland said...

What Meth said is my concern as well. Sessions may be the good cop, but I ain't seeing it. I have Evi's fear, and I have it because of Sessions desire to act senatorial.

Troop, I think the speculation is that it may be Gowdy. I think Gowdy would be better than Sessions, but so far, Gowdy has only shown a lot of bark and not much bite. His bite may have been constrained by Congressional rules hence his desire to change, but it sure seemed to me he could have been tougher. He talked well, but I never saw any action.

The unloaded on Mendoucheous McCabe today, so you never know...

Evi L. Bloggerlady said...

Trump and Sessions may be playing off each other. Which would be great if true.

Leland said...

The IG unloaded on McCabe. Sessions gets no credit in my book until I see direct action on his part. Hell, Session's already received a criminal referral from the Senate regarding Steele, yet I haven't heard of Steele's house being raided, like Manafort's.

ampersand said...

So far seems like Bad Cop/Deputy Fife

AllenS said...

Bingo, amp.

The Trump base is pretty split on Sessions. I am in the pro-Sessions camp. I used to write blog post here on his work regarding the phony STEM crisis - you can look it up. Some here were opposed to Sessions (and me, I suppose), perhaps because they're brainwashed into thinking that American kids really are stupid and that we need unfettered immigration for young scientists. Other anti-Sessions people seemed worried that the staffing at their favorite eateries would suffer if Sessions' DoJ really cracked down on illegals. I will guarantee one thing: if Sessions goes, no one will rejoice more than the Kevin De Leon crowd. They hate him more than they hate Trump. Sessions makes Trump look squishy and fungible on immigration.

Has anyone heard from DBQ? I need a NorCal snow report.
