calculation. they are going to keep arguing until it is impossible to argue otherwise. it is impossible to argue it. what they argue has little basis in fact. it is basis of the moment. right now it doesn t seem like it s all that much compared to what the u.s. has done. but, again, where does it go from here and how long does it take to get there? as you said, brushback. are we going to blink or take one step forward? one thing you can count on from this president, he doesn t like to have his manhood challenged. i guarantee you this is probably not going to be the last step. it s just where do we go from here? the impact of the last person in his ear, as we have said. this weend, mar-a-lago. look at the cast of characters. we have the graphic. not only do they have his ear,
and exclamation point. catch and release is not a law. right. sometimes they come back in. sometimes they commit crimes. they must go the nuclear option. that s not what republicans are talking about. no more daca deal. the person who said he was going to protect the dreamers. he s been all over. he s the one who suspended that executive order. then said the democrats are the ones risking the deal. this is a president who doesn t have his hands on the policy. it says a lot about where his head and his heart is. it s not even, to the point, catch and release. that goes back to the regan era. this is not new. and it s not news. on easter sunday you re going to tweet that out. last year at the same time he s tweeting out how immigrants, 40%

not a long shelf life in president trump s cabinet. see what i did there? rex tillerson and david shulkin now out. who could be next? john avlon is here to break it all down. cabinet humor. i like it. good. we have a lot of it. remind us of what s hatched so far. we are over 50% turnover in the trump white house between west wing and cabinet. that is unprecedented. good-bye rex. 4 42 scaramuccis. that is a respectable scare
