McConnell, GOP Senate brace for Roy Moore

You don't like Daffy Duck? What the heck is wrong with YOU!

No... I do like Daffy.  I just think it's funny that you like him....lololol.

I always thought you were more a Pepe Le Pew kinda guy.

@Sighlass
Request all you want honey.  You do the same, show how I lied about  you.  Cmon shouldn't be all that hard.

@driftdiver

Whatever you want Puddin Pie,  I already did that in reply 322 and 304.... When you start saying stuff like "based on what you said"... and then put whatever you want there as if I said it, it is dishonest.  If I say something "QUOTE IT" don't just make it up out of thin air what you think I said.

That's not proven, nor is it pertinent.

26% of the national population voted for Tump.
That is nothing to brag about.

Out of that 26%, there is a very large number of voters that are merely 'Anyone but Hillary', so the actual Tump faithful don't seem very large. Loud, obnoxious, but not many. Shoot, y'all just BARELY got it done, even with the Hillary-revulsion.

I'm not a big fan of Sessions - What's his ACU, high 70's? But his recusal was the right thing to do. But don't let the principle of the thing get in the way, eh?

I've grown to really dislike Mr. Sessions.  His love of Asset Forfeiture alone has him an honored place on my shitlist.

@driftdiver I've talked to @Sighlass over at TOS and here.  One of the very best and not a game player.

 

Thank You @RAT Patrol ... I am on the infamous ban list at TOS... and @pookie18  was reason I found this place. @driftdiver

That's right. I don't have any love for him either. But his recusal is legit. At least on the surface of it.

Dittos. Big-time.

His sudden recusal barely four minutes into his job, without first discussing it with the president, was a big mistake. Weak, very weak.

Absolutely not at all true.
He was a major player in the campaign. Maybe THE major player in the campaign. For him to investigate that campaign would not have been believable if he found 'no cause'.

And if he in fact indicted with cause, you;d be more pissed than you are now, and he'd have been even more a traitor (in the minds of Tump true-believers).

No, it was the exact thing to do, and a principled thing.

I have disliked him since he went out of his way to approve Eric Holder as AG, actually going so far as to praise him.  He might be conservative, but is not very astute, especially the ability to discern others.

But other Republicans said they would vote for Mr. Holder despite his acknowledged mistakes. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, for example, said he was sure that Mr. Holder would be “a responsible legal officer and not a politician.”

I have loved Sessions for a long time mainly for his immigration positions and his dedicated devotion to keeping up with the issue when other Senators turned a blind eye.

Jeff's list of the things Obama did while president to circumvent immigration laws and to relax regulations was a work of "political art". If such a term existed.

Yeah.  Anyone who colud say something like that about Eric "The Red" Holder must have been playing Rip Van Winkel for the last 30 years or so!

Yeah, that moved him well up my All-American Fecal Roster.

I agree. That should have been sorted out beforehand. I'm not saying the recusal was wrong, but it should have been no surprise to the President that he would do so.

Just what we need...American cops being Mexican Federales.

@Smokin Joe

   Being the first US Senator to jump on the Trump Train and being a bulldog for Trump's immigration reform campaign crap, he gave Trump a heavy boost right before Super Tuesday. He was a Major cog in the campaign and the transition. He had to have meetings with Russians as a course of Business even as a Senator, IMHO Sessions just told Trump he wasn't going down if this Russian $hit blows up in his face and it wasn't negotiable. Trump knew.

So sessions was lying when he said he didn't tell Trump?

   Yes, that is my thinking, He gave Trump a way to save face and for him to keep his job, It's in his book, The Art of the Deal, have you read it?


OK, I made up that last part.

I hear Wal-Mart has great prices on tinfoil.

[corbe]

   I stand by my original assertion, @driftdiver President Trump knew days before Sessions announced it. It would have been terrible optics for Trump to fire his just appointed AG over the Russian shit. Sessions knew it and allowed the kabuki theater to continue so the President could save face and he could inoculate himself from the impending Russian BS that continues to dog his Boss.   JS

Go with amazon, better prices in bulk.

But who is at fault there?

[Smokin Joe]

But who is at fault there?

Communication is a two way street, but if I had some potentially disqualifying or otherwise limiting problem, I would make sure that my prospective employer was aware of it. In this case, he is an appointee and not Trump's employee, but ours; still, I would think the same principle applies.

Sessions is too busy writing more regulations to support asset forfeiture.  It takes a lot of budget money sewing the word "Federales" on all the Federal cop's jackets.

(Maybe only us border state people get that reference.)
