Pammy was "unhappy with the pressure coming from all sides" as Trump screamed for revenge. SO SAD.

The White House was rife with internal squabbles about how far to go in pursuing Donald Trump’s perceived enemies, which left Attorney General Pam Bondi unhappy with the pressure coming from all sides.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, there are plenty of insiders who are unsure about the Department of Justice pursuing cases that they feel won’t survive in the courts as well as worries about ethical concerns.

Above it all, Donald Trump is blowing off concerns.

As the Journal’s Sadie Gurman, Josh Dawsey and Aruna Viswanatha wrote, Trump “had been hearing from allies that the Justice Department wasn’t moving aggressively against the people,” with the pursuit of former FBI director James Comey at the forefront.

If it does I hope all these people lose their law licenses and end up in prison.

Another form of sanesplaining. This time covering for a cabinet of incompetence.

They did it anyway.

Whether it's Miller, Loomer, Putin or some billionaires, they know how to push Trump's buttons behind the scenes.

5. "Executive Time"

I remember when Trump's handlers coined the phrase in his first term. They were fed up with the public demanding to know what he had on his schedule, because all they were seeing was him not showing up for work, or him on the golf course.

It was a well-known fact that he obsessively watched "Fox & Friends" daily, from start to finish, and also "Morning Joe," to see if he was mentioned. That meant mornings were shot, and he had to deal with the public wanting to know why he was showing up for work at noon, when he showed up at all.

So, they just blocked off that time as "Executive Time." Trump, doin' executive things. A toddler in his playpen while Miller and crew ran the government.

He thinks it's sufficient to accuse them of littering, and then have them brought up as traitors to be tried before Roland Freisler.
