Did Sean Hannity really use the word 'purge'?
I wouldn't be so sure. The fact that he continues to talk or act directly after a news story from one his preferred right wing sources is starting to look less and less like just random concidence
Trump does this stuff or says early what Fox News says after they air something. There have been a ton of tweets where he says something outrageous and it turns out that Fox News said it hours before. We also know that he watches cable news all day.I'm sure a right wing news channel and a right wing President are going to agree on a lot of issues. This is all confirmation bias, IMO.
I see this about but I'm missing cultural context here because this gif simply makes Trump look like a badass. What's it mean?
Or maybe Bill Clinton should have not have fired 93 attorneys in one day giving Trump perfect precedent for his actions.

It's a joke, suggesting that Trump is really the evil shapeshifting sorcerer Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat (1995 film).

Can someone explain the context?
A Trump campaign aide who argues that Democrats committed ethnic cleansing in a plot to liquidate the white working class. A former reality show contestant whose study of societal collapse inspired him to invent a bow-and-arrow-cum-survivalist multi-tool. A pair of healthcare industry lobbyists. A lobbyist for defense contractors. An evangelist and lobbyist for Palantir, the Silicon Valley company with close ties to intelligence agencies. And a New Hampshire Trump supporter who has only recently graduated from high school.
A massage therapist with no apparent experience of energy policy was terminated from the Department of Energy after it was revealed that he had a habit of making racially charged social media posts about Muslims and former President Barack Obama.
That's awesome. I'd love to see a Loki transformation one too.

It's not confirmation bias, it's straight up confirmation.
You didn't really disprove what I said. Trump is a media addict, that's not proof he makes policy decisions based on what he hears/reads. At best, you can prove he Tweets about the MSM, which plays well to his base, hell, most of America.
He has, on multiple occasions, acted or tweeted about stories that were talked about on Fox News or Breitbart. It's not a one or two time thing.
I like Preeti Bharara, has been going after that corrupt bastard Cuomo as well.Love it, resist whenever possible.

Source says US Attorney Preet Bharara doesn't plan to resign, will make President Trump fire him (Reporting from @LauraAJarrett @jaketapper)
That's cool. But I'm sure Trump is gunna shrug and say you're fired. Good on Preet though.Love it, resist whenever possible.

Don't forget that Trump has quietly appointed beachhead teams(of questionable qualifications to put it mildly):

Qualifications not needed. Lobbyist? No problem
Nothing tops the massage therapist appointed to the Department of Energy:

Seems like being an alt-Reich conspiracy nut job can take you far under Trump.
Not this abruptly. Attorneys in the middle of big investigations were even let on board for several weeks to finish them.
This, on the other hand, had everyone kicked out by the end of the business day, abruptly halting all work going on. It's really not the same thing.
Abruptly? Reno fired all 93 Republican attorneys on the same day.

In 1993, he was the U.S. attorney in Pittsburgh and the liaison between the outgoing George H.W. Bush administration and the incoming Clinton administration. "We had been asking them for months: 'When do you want our resignations?' " he said.
The answer came in a meeting with Webster Hubbell, the associate attorney general, in mid-March. "He said, 'I have good news and bad news. The good news is the attorney general wants you to stay until your successor is confirmed. The bad news is she wants your resignations by the end of the week,' " Corbett said.

Nearly three months after President Trump abruptly fired 46 of the remaining Obama-era U.S. attorneys, the White House has still not nominated replacements for all but one of the key posts.
...
The reasons for the sparse staffing are plentiful, with law enforcement experts and former Justice officials pointing to a backlog of vetting dating back to the pre-election days when Trump's team didn't expect to win, intense loyalty tests stemming from Trump himself, concerns from prospective candidates over the growing investigations into Russian interference, or, simply put, sheer incompetence.
The bleakest number of vacancies, however, are in the U.S. Attorney jobs.
The White House is staring at 93 openings — 47 created after a slate of resignations in January and the remaining 46 created when Trump suddenly fired everyone else in March — and so far has only one name ready to go, according to Buzzfeed News — Jessie Liu, a former Trump transition team member who the President wants for the U.S. Attorney job for Washington, D.C.
Of much larger concern, however, are the likely consequences of such vacancies.
"While the U.S. Attorney offices will move forward without heads in place with uncontroversial cases, like ordinary fraud and white collar crimes, there are a whole bunch of crimes that, under DOJ procedures, require approval coordination between DOJ headquarters and actual Senate-confirmed U.S. Attorneys," said Andrew Kent, a professor at the Fordham University School of Law and a former senior counsel in the New York State's Office of the Attorney General.
"Law and order" president
These fucking loyalty tests...fucking christ.
No I meant like the show "law and order". Where half the time the rapist wins on a technicality in the last 5 minutes.More like "lawoyalty and orderbedience"
What's funny about this, is we just had a thread about Trump and Bannon's agenda of intentionally dismantling government, and I said despite how these narratives form about Trump and his crew are master manipulators when we get actual peeks on the inside, we always see that it's a mix of impotence mixed with people in charge who have absolutely no idea what they're doing or how anything works. And here we are lol
He really should be impeached just for gross incompetence and negligence. Too bad the current GOP wants that sort of shit, or considers it acceptable for a useful idiot. Just have to hope that this all blows up in their face in the long run.Stick them in with the hundreds of other Senate-confirmable jobs with no nominee which Trump has shown little to no interest in filling.
Watch this get less attention than fucking covfefe...
