No sale, Angela. The team is the sum of the individuals on it. And, since you're here, why did you finally bail on your marriage? Did Ken refuse to help you move up to Congress?

Just do away with it altogether. As you said, it is a form of royal prerogative.

All they wanted when they elected Trump was to evade responsibility, and they will deny responsibility for how this turned out.

OK, assume the judge holds the administration in contempt. What entity enforces any consequences?

If the SC had not found presidential immunity, Trump would be having the DOJ prosecute Obama now.

Thanks, Count Chocula, I'll take my chances. I would chew my own arm off before I would vote for Paxton.

I doubt it. We would have to move the DOJ out of the Executive Branch, and where would it go?

I have never heard any public official being so whiny. He's always treated unfairly. People are always out to get him. He does all he can to make enemies, and then complains about having enemies.

I was once in a company where the CEO was still blaming his predecessor 4 years later. This goes on all the time.

Another problem: to be a really effective liar, you must believe yourself. Once you can routinely convince yourself, you can no longer tell truth from falsehood. You become a menace to yourself and everyone around you.

When you surround yourself with people who only tell you what you want to hear, you become mentally lazy. Your ability to make coherent arguments to support your opinions atrophies.
