It's all so fucking corrupt. Both sides.

Rosenstein should have been fired the day after Trump took office.

Whether he is right or wrong, you can't have an Assistant AG with a clear bias against the president on his first day in office.

And if Trump did do something with the Russians, their handling of the case is so compromised that its going to damage the FBI more than Trump

One of Trump supporters biggest complaints is his now cozy relationship with Ryan and McConnell.

While he has little choice to work with either one, he certainly had the option to call them out more than he has.

Rosenstein was Trump's nominee... 2 weeks after the inaugeratation. You must be thinking of somebody else.

from Rosenstein's bio: President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on January 31, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 2017.

You're right. I was under the impression he was a holdover from Obama and had connections to Mueller/FBI under the Obama administration

at any rate, I still believe he should be fired.

McConnell said that the best thing about Trump is that he'll sign anything they put in front of him.

not as proud as you being a complete ass

If all guns were totally outlawed, then those 300 million guns out there would all magically disappear. All the criminals - who, by definition, don’t obey laws - would nevertheless obey the gun confiscation law and meekly turn in all their guns. This school shooting would therefore never have happened, and we would all live happily ever after in our pixie dust castles.

Exactly. If 300 million guns aren't enough to keep us safe then surely 600 million is what we need.

The name Mohammed and its many spelling variations are on course to become one of the most popular names in Germany going from 97th to 26th most popular in less than a decade.

According to the Gesellschaft für Deutsche Sprache (Society for German Language, GfdS) the name Mohammed has seen a rapid rise in popularity, though the name could be even more popular than their figures suggest, Die Welt reports.

GfdS data, like many similar statistics, do not take into consideration all of the different spellings of Mohammed such as Mohamad, Mohamed, Mehmet, and others.

In Austria, the daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung compiled data using all the variants of the name and found that Mohammed soared in popularity from 5th overall to 3rd among baby boys born in Vienna.
