Thank you, NAACP!
And decent Americans should shout out their support.
I would not trust the fair administration of justice to someone who pines for the confederacy.
His confirmation hearings should be entertaining. The man has a lot of dirty laundry (some of it made of sheets) in his closet.
hey chuckie…do YOU have anything to say about these trump people?
hey CHUCKIE!
crickets…crickets
lol…something tells me this guy has every sheet he ever wore…still in his closet
Can we just dispatch with this bullshit and skip ahead to Civil War 2.0
PS redneck fucks: There are way more of us than you. We’re gonna make Sherman look like the Dalai Lama.
The bigger problem with the Sessions nomination is probably not his atrocious attitudes towards Civil Rights.
Its his complete and unquestioned loyalty to Donald.
Can anyone envision any scenario where Donald, or his administration gets caught doing something out and out illegal, and Sessions opens an investigation? Can anyone envision Sessions responding to Congress to open up an independent investigation into anything the Trump administration, including of course the DoJ, does?
Because that’s the real reason for appointing Sessions. Donald wants to cover his ass legally right from the get go.
The ACLU also has our backs, promising to go after orange whenever they see him going after people’s civil rights. Read this and consider donating if you can afford to do so.
bush and Gonzalez redux.
Figures also said that Sessions said he thought the Ku Klux Klan was “OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana."
Sessions called his comment about the Klan “a silly comment, I guess you might say, that I made.”
If this was said by the right person, I actually think it would be a pretty funny joke! But with his racist history, obviously not. Don’t quit your day job Jeff. Or do, that would be great!
“Sessions said he thought the Ku Klux Klan was “OK, until he learned that they smoked marijuana.”…He later called it “a silly comment, I guess you might say, that I made.”
You can bet the Republicans are going to grill him on this one: How DARE you call your withdrawal of support for the KKK a silly comment?
Our newly elected Senate Minority Leader has found yet another topic on which to remain silent. I guess the good news is he will have all those chits to cash in from Orrin Hatch and Chuck Grassley and Mitch McConnell. Chuck Schumer is deploying the Rope A Dope.
I don’t think anyone ever envisioned our institutions and laws—the 25th Amendment comes to mind—trying to cope with an entire Executive Branch that was thoroughly corrupt and loyal only to one individual.
Wow, can you believe it? Trump is nominating conservative people to positions of power? Wow, stop the presses!!
Jeff Sessions is a great friend of the American worker. To the mayors of sanctuary cities, you may find a surprise early in the Trump administration.
There are conservatives and then there are racist fuckwits. Sessions, as you don’t seem to know the difference, is the latter.
Jeff Sessions is a great friend of workers, at least American workers. He stands up for Americans. He opposes the H-1B and other work visas. I have a great appreciation for this guy. Hopefully, he will be prosecuting a lot of the visa shops like Tata and Infosys and driving those jerks into jail and out of the country.
Can anyone imagine Sessions not doing everything in his power to squelch the FBI counter-intel investigation, the one they got a FISA warrant for to investigate that old Trump mail server apparently repurposed into a hotline with Alfa Bank (Russian oligarch owned, close ties to Putin) whose traffic shot up in connection with significant campaign events and Wikileak? Can anyone imagine him not pulling that from any US Attorney who tries to prosecute it, taking it back to DC and then killing it for “national security” reasons? Can anyone imagine him letting any investigation of Trump corruption go forward?
now mention the part about Sessions and decriminalization.
shopping list: alcohol, more alcohol, more alcohol after that…
There are so many things to be outraged about that it’s wise to pick the battles to fight.
Talking about Sessions (Racist, AL) is meaningless.
Let’s see who works to stop this travesty from being approved.
