To flip any of them, they need to create some political cover first. Exposing Sessions as the lying racist shitbag he is seems like a good start.

The NYT is reporting that the Dems are not making attempts to get Republicans to vote against him. Is this true? Why wouldn’t they? Is this all for show for their base? Because I have been damned proud of them, but if they aren’t actually trying to get better people in these positions, what’s the point?

It doesn’t matter because the system is stupid and he can lie. He can say he’s pro-choice, he’ll just act against choice later.

Well said.

He’s a murderer, a terrorist, an unapologetic racist, and an evil piece of shit.

When Chris Christie was spotted hiding in the corner of the room, an aide started toward him to remove him, until Trump said, ‘No. Do not alert him of my presence. I shall deal with him myself.’

Hell yes! I’m a proud Minnesotan right now. Also, I hope Sen. Klobuchar follows suit.

Suing states for violating a law is literally law enforcement. I get what you’re saying and I think I mostly agree with you, but perhaps “protect” is not the best way of describing his legal duty.

My Senator...leading The Resistance today.

I’m sure the changes are coming and he knows it. He’s just biding his time.

That’s the thing. It doesn’t matter what “tradition” dictates, so far as this admin is concerned. Its about what loopholes they can exploit. So, who the fuck knows what will happen in the coming years.

In my experience, by the time some guy has grabbed you by the pussy, the window for consent has already closed. Banged shut, as it were.

I don’t want to say they were lying

Yes! He’s only committed to upholding whatever terrible legislation comes out of the new government. =(

He’d probably just mumble some bullshit about the Constitution and government overreach and any other specious gabble that he thinks would get him off the hook.

Since I do not have any idea, could someone enlighten me and tell me what would happen now, when this man become Attorney General, if he does something that he said he won’t do? Par example, if Sessions said in this session he has not and he will not kill an ant and in two months he kills one, what would happen to him?

We are in complete agreement and I hadn’t heard the latest news re Iraq and the requests of the state dept. that is quite disconcerting. The whole point my friend was making about Tillerson is that he was constantly between a rock and a hard place as CEO of Exxon, getting pushback from every entity he was dealing with…

So succinct, and yet, all that needs to be said.

Ugh, Afflecks.
