2. If Doug Jones wins in Alabama

it could mean a lot more than just winning a seat. Since Doug Jones is a conservative Democrat (REAL Christian with a REAL moral compass) I think other conservative Dems could win Senate seats in deep red states.

I think we could pick up at least seven seats.

Trump will watch "A Fish Called Wanda," order his staff to find Otto, bring him back from being justice minister of Apartheid-era South Africa to be our new Attorney General. Imagine his bitter disappointment when he is told that the character is fictional, and is therefore unavailable to take the position.

In the places I go there are things that I see
That I never could spell if I stopped with the Z
I'm telling you this 'cause you're one of my friends
My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends

(Because most people stop with the Z--but not me!)

It's almost midnight here in Sprout City, so I'm turning in anyway. You have a few hours to contemplate.

... about something in a conversation, he would look inquisitive and say “what was the thing in the middle?” , or “what was the middle thing?”

Somehow that struck me as one of his funniest quirks. But I have a weird sense of humor.

I don't even remember that scene. But then, people get to call me stupid with far less dire consequences.

expect both tillerson and sessions out. possibly one other.

just a hunch, but trump doesn't call pressers unless there is a bug in his bonnet, and kelley may not be able to contain him any longer.

that several cabinet members have mutually agreed that if one is fired they all resign? And if that's accurate, is Sessions one of those?

The scary and sad thing is that Trump will no doubt find someone even worse to nominate to that position.

kelley would resign if he wasn't consulted on firings, but hadn't heard it went beyond that.

Tillerson, Mnuchin, and Mattis. Sessions may not have joined their alliance. Jeffie, if you haven't joined an alliance, you could get voted off the island.

his presidency, the second could be naming Sessions as AG and opening this position for a nut job like Roy Moore to run for it.
