Shit is wack in a general way.

Firing a democrat appointed acting attorney general who just majorly dissed you seems like one of the more lucid things Trump has done.

There will be no straight lines for a while, gird your loins for cognitive dissonance and frustration.

Have another kink in the line. The Guardian said he just fired the head of ICE as well.

It's not so much the action as much as the official statement (assuming this isn't fabricated in any way).

The following quotes are my own emphasis:

    ...has betrayed the Department of Justice...

    ...weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.

    It is reasonable and necessary to protect our country.

    ...until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons.
