Is the coup approaching?
Also scary.
Trump is saying that if the House of Representatives, the lower House of a co-equal branch of government executes its’ Article 1. Constitutional duty to exercise oversight over the Executive Branch that he will bring Govt. to a standstill and launch retributional investigations

It is the most illiberal statement ever seen on Television by an American President. It is a direct assault on the Founders vision of a Republic where Absolute power is constrained by a system of checks and balances. Trumps bullying, distemper and dishonesty are on full display

So Trump is willing to act contrary to the Constitution. Who would have thought? Of course, if no one puts the brakes on him, he’ll do what he wants. He has appointed himself Caesar, and intends to fiddle while the world burns.
re. Tribe’s remark on whether Sessions resigned or was fired, the tesignation letter was rather….unambiguous.
To ask an employee for their resignation is very different from an employee resigning.of their own free will.
