“A former assistant U.S. Attorney and a Justice Department employee accused Sessions of using racist language in comments and jokes.”

Classic MO of the racist: “It was just a joke!”

Allows feigned outrage at people with “no sense of humor”.

An old, reliable canard to deny, deflect, distract.

And the oh-so-polite Stepford Media play right along.

Somehow, this all fits in perfectly with everything that’s happening right now. The memory hole exists, and it’s going to get great use in the coming years.

I know I care. I know most of the people who visit TPM care. But does anybody else, really and truly? I fear not.

Republicans think they have a magical ability to make history that is not flattering to them just disappear. Like Bush 43 never happened, and trickle down economics has never failed.

That has to be a disqualifier right there. You’re going to swear to uphold justice as head of DOJ and refuse to be candid about your background? That’s a sanctionable ethics violation in any bar in the country.

The GOP has this huge huge problem: Putin has internal emails from the RNC. And collusion agreements from Trump, because he owes them (and others) money. To do his bidding, they are giving the GOP base everything whackjob policy they’ve screamed for 8 years, so that no house/senate investigations happen. And those whackjob policies mask a bunch whackjob policies and people that make Putin and Trump richer.

But keeping all that secret requires patterns of omission and forgetting and denial. The hope is we all think we are crazy. Gaslighting, as it’s called. Perhaps you saw this in your latest issue of Teen Vogue.

(H/T GoET).

At the time, a black former assistant U.S. Attorney, Thomas Figures, testified that Sessions had said during an investigation involving the Ku Klux Klan that he “used to think they were okay” until he found out they smoked marijuana.

Pot was made him turn his back on the KKK? Seriously? Pot? Weed? Not the hanging of African-Americans? It was their pot usage…that was the final straw?

Pretty sure it’s spelled “Secessions.”

“Sessions, who attended all-white segregated schools, was named for Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War, and Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, who was “instrumental” in the adoption of the Confederate battle flag.”

Marijuana makes the low IQ Caucasian crazed with sexual lusts and feeds an intense desire for Ding-dongs while completely erasing any racist tendencies…
Sessions should lite up.

How’s he supposed to remember something like that?

Because sometimes being named after Jefferson Davies just isn’t enough for the family to show it’s dedication to the Lost Cause.
