The easiest way to hit a bullseye in the Alt-Fact Universe of TrumpLand is to shoot the arrow first and draw the new target second. Just so with the new Alt-DOJ under retro-racist Sessions. Also watch him prosecute pot smokers and ignore opiate abusers and the BigPharma enablers.
âMany of the investigations started based on a terrorism tip like, for instance, the suspect wanting to buy a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. However, the tip turned out to be groundless, and the legal saga ended with only a mundane conviction of receiving stolen cereal,â Nowrasteh wrote. âAccording to Sessionsâ list, that cereal thief is a terrorist."
As part of his plan to âbring jobs back to Americaâ Comrade Chaos and Howdy Doody âJeffâ Sessions will soon announce a bounty program based on one used so successfully to adjudicate personal grievances in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The program, dubbed âLeggo My Eggo,â will not only be a financial boon to money-hungry racists and bigots nationwide, it will also ensure long-term employment at Gitmo as well as the numerous private prisons across America where suspects will be held incommunicado without trial for âas long as they are deemed dangerous.â
Figures donât lie but liars figure.
Iâm hearing an echo of âweapons of mass destruction related program activities.â
Reminds me of GWBush and his âweapons of mass destruction-related programs.â
âRelatedâ turns out to be a relative term.
So ⌠the comment immediately above appeared between the time I hit send and the time it showed up.
Echo indeed!
Ha! An echo in more ways than one.

The real question should be thenâŚwas he Cuckoo for Coco Puffs or simply interested in those magically delicious Lucky Charms?
It gives new meaning to the phraseâŚSnap, Crackle, Pop I must say.
While the Department of Justice has not provided TPM with the raw data used to make its claim,
"Trump lies; DOJ elides.â
Parsimony
âTrumpâs claim a day earlier that âthe vast majority of individuals convicted for terrorism-related offenses since 9/11 came here from outside of our countryââŚâ
This actually is true â and for the worst of the worst.
But only for those whose ancestors immigrated:
- Jared Loughner, who shot Gabby Giffords, et al? Ancestors from Germany.
- Adam Lanza, who killed the Sandy Hook kids? Ancestors from Italy.
- Jim Holmes, who killed all those people at the theater in Aurora? Ancestors from England.
- Bob Dear, who killed the Planned Parenthood workers in Colorado? England, again!
-
Adam Purinton, who just shot those guys in Kansas? DITTO!!!
And on and on it goesâŚ
Every single one of them descended from White, European, Christian immigrants.
Wake up, sheeple!
Surprise! Surprise!
Exclusive: Trump administration has found only $20 million in existing funds for wall
President Donald Trumpâs promise to use existing funds to begin immediate construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border has hit a financial roadblock, according to a document seen by Reuters.
The rapid start of construction, promised throughout Trumpâs campaign and in an executive order issued in January on border security, was to be financed, according to the White House, with âexisting funds and resourcesâ of the Department of Homeland Security.
But so far, the DHS has identified only $20 million that can be re-directed to the multi-billion-dollar project, according to a document prepared by the agency and distributed to congressional budget staff last week.
The document said the funds would be enough to cover a handful of contracts for wall prototypes, but not enough to begin construction of an actual barrier. This means that for the wall to move forward, the White House will need to convince Congress to appropriate funds.
An internal report, previously reported by Reuters, estimated that fully walling off or fencing the entire southern border would cost $21.6 billion - $9.3 million per mile of fence and $17.8 million per mile of wall.
Or in other word let the modern day proscriptions commence. If you hate your neighbor, covet his wife, or ass then make a little phone call.
What this shit is is an attempt to gin up some anti-immigrant fervor by having many young blonde women claim they were raped by Muslim immigrants.
Just like Cologne.

And Jeff Sessions is a cereal liar.
I dunno. Letâs ask Mikey.
Oh, dear. But wait ⌠that cannot be One of our resident trolls said:
Surely, one of our trolls cannot possibly be wrong, can he?
The truth is a strange concept to these people. Sad that so many Americans just go along with the lies.
I love the, ââŚThe a substantial majority of those convicted were born in a foreign countryâŚâ bit there.
By that rubric I could be counted as a foreign terrorist if I was convicted of some âterrorist-relatedâ nonsense, as I was born in Germany to American parents.
When you cast such a wide net youâre bound to catch something
I am not sure why you would choose a photo of Australian journalist
Peter Grest and his Egyptian colleagues who were held in Egypt (not the
US) for reporting the Egyptian government was unhappy with when you picked one for this story? I can think of about a thousand more appropriate photos TPM.
And Jeff doesnât have to remove the (R-AL) that came after his name when in the senate, just change the meaning to Republican-Always Lies. Could be used for most Republicans. I canât say all because there could be one somewhere who occasionally tells the truth when it serves their purpose.
