I thought about posting that as well.

Kinda strange to see a current POTUS actively ragging on the previous POTUS in front of a bunch of teenagers who are into scouting.

In a sense it's a minor transgression, but it just seems to sum up the problems with Trump pretty well:

I have a daughter in middle school. The school talks about and has sessions to address bullying and online bullying. A sad fact of life, unfortunately.

But I'm pretty sure this is the first time in American history where the POTUS is being an online bully to his own AG.

W.T.F?

I'm not going to cry a single tear for Jeff Sessions being "bullied" - the avowed drug warrior, and king of civil asset forfeiture. In fact I was kind of half joking with some friends back in January that Jeff Sessions was the best possible pick for AG from a libertarian perspective, because he'd have to quit the Senate, and he'd probably end up get fired from the AG in a year or so.



I do understand the point you're trying to make about online bullying though. I just don't think that saying mean things about politicians could ever qualify as bullying.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Sessions at all. More commenting on the ludicrous spectacle of it all.

Scaramucci: "I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own ****....I’m not trying to build my own brand off the ******* strength of the President."

Odd choice to say these things ON RECORD.

Is anything odd when everything is odd?

Fair point. But I'd still say any time a WH communications director goes on record to deny oral self-pleasuring, and accuse other senior WH staff of the same, it is odd, and even Trump can't change that. :-)
