Time for him to go. He and his boss are national security nightmares and shouldn’t be anywhere near the WH or any branch of government for that matter.

No matter what happens in Tennessee tonight, Republicans no longer have the grip in the districts they used to. Especially if they win by a couple of points. Midterms we will be hitting the ground HARD. Buckle the fuck up, it’s time to take out the trash AGAIN.
