Each day shot through with the small sharp shards of shrapnel that seem to burst out of me and you
Oh, well, and Trump just fired the acting attorney general and replaced her with someone who is willing to sockpuppet for his unconstitutional executive order.
I was going to post about something completely different, but I think I am just feeling rage. The language of that statement is not like anything I have seen out of the White House before, unless you want to count the Nixon tapes, which I think we are already beyond in terms of damage. It is petulant. It is defensive. It is paranoid. And it is full of lies. I don't care if it's coming straight from Trump's tiny fingers or if Bannon jerked the strings to make him type it, it is the speech of a person in the act of betraying their country. Not the woman who was upholding the law. [edit: Exactly as she said she would at her confirmation hearing.] As for her replacement, I don't know if he sold his soul or if he just started his life without one, but he accepted the appointment: I wish him nothing well from now on. May he also be remembered as a collaborator.
Get these people gone.
