According to the bookies, Sessions will be fired next.

While some of the odds are no-brainers (Jeff Sessions is the overwhelming favorite at 6/4), and others make sense (Betsy DeVos is next at 4/1), there are some head-scratchers. After Sessions and DeVos, Paddy Power pegs Rex Tillerson (11/2) and then Elaine Chao, Steve Mnuchin, Ben Carson and James Mattis (each at 12/1) as the most likely cabinet members to exit next.

Unlike, say, Tom Price (18/1), these cabinet members have mostly stayed on Trump’s good side, or have made little noise. Power explained the thinking behind Tillerson’s placement as “a keep your friends close, your enemies closer type of thing.” He added: “I think they’re very close, Trump and Tillerson. But just for that reason, Tillerson could be the one sacrificed if he did need to pull the trigger on somebody.”

...

Still, the Irish seem to be having quite a bit of fun with the Trump markets. So much so, in fact, that Paddy Power had to appoint a “Head of Trump Betting” specialist. (These markets, Power said, did not exist under America’s last president.)

1. Well, they assured him he wouldn't, so yes. This is probably accurate.

2. Maybe this is the type of job creation Trump was touting

"Head of Trump Betting" specialist

3. I think the whole Jeff...

... Sessions thing was kabuki theatre. I think Jeff was in on the script.

But I had thought that the stories about Ben Carson being appointed to a cabinet position were just internet jokes. Shit.

5. If you meant collusion, then yes. The seemingly ongoing feud between them is a farce!

.. their chicanery is obvious. A recent example of how trumpf operates, was the just released transcripts of conversation with Mexican President Pena Nieto, where he's says to him something like, I know your not going to pay for the wall, can you stop saying it though; just go along with me is what he [trumpf] suggested. Wink.wink.

It is obvious that sessions and trumpf are working in concert considering recent comments and policies regarding immigration and affirmative action targeting Black, Brown Americans, immigrant, refugee, lgbt, and non Christian, You know, the usual republkkklan bigoted talking points.

As you know, kabuki is the intricate theatrical expression of Japanese culture, it is often misused by political pundits.
