While Quid Pro Joe was wiping the floor with The Commie, Bernie Sanders on Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump pounded what could be the final nail in the coffin of the political career of Jeff Sessions.
As the results from the Democrat primaries were rolling in, showing Biden will now assume a commanding position in the race for that party’s nomination, the President stole some of the limelight by issuing a tweet endorsing not his former worthless Attorney General, but former college football coach Tommy Tuberville in the GOP senate runoff election in Alabama.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville) is running for the U.S. Senate from the Great State of Alabama. Tommy was a terrific head football coach at Auburn University. He is a REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our Country, down! Tommy will protect your Second Amendment....

Coming the wake of two new polls showing Tuberville holding leads of 6% and 12% in the race, this move by a President who is highly popular in Alabama may well seal the deal for Tuberville. The winner of the runoff will challenge incumbent Democrat Doug Jones, who won a narrow victory for the seat formerly held by Sessions in 2018 when GOP voters nominated the very flawed and odd Roy Moore.
Sessions, of course, left the seat in 2017 to serve as Trump’s first Attorney General, a role in which he was a miserable failure. His early decision to recuse himself from overseeing any investigations related to Russia for the completely invalid reason that he, as a senator, once met with the Russian Ambassador to the U.S., left the deep state skunk Rod Rosenstein free to appoint Robert Mueller and generally run amuck for the first two years of the Trump presidency.
Trump has repeatedly stated that, had Sessions had the personal integrity to inform him that he planned to recuse, he would have never been the nominee, and has never forgiven Sessions for this act of political mendacity. In an interview last summer, he called the appointment of Session the “biggest mistake” of his entire presidency.
Throughout his campaign to reclaim his old senate seat, Sessions has portrayed himself as a Trump loyalist, making constant attempts to ingratiate and associate himself with the President. The President has consistently rebuffed those efforts, culminating in his endorsement last night of Tuberville.
Now that Trump has formally shunned him, Sessions is likely to become a cause du jour by the same corrupt news media that once smeared him as an actual agent of Russia. Because that’s what our fake news media does. Receiving sympathetic coverage from CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times will, of course, only serve to further diminish Sessions’ shot at winning the votes of Alabama Republicans, who almost universally detest those corrupt news outlets.
Sessions was a fine senator and would no doubt be able to become a fine senator once again were he to regain his seat. But his abject refusal to do his damn job, to spend two solid years studiously looking the other way as the deep state mounted an outright coup d’etat attempt on American soil, destroyed any good will many Republican voters ever possessed for him.
The Alabama runoff election takes place on March 31, so Sessions still has some time to recover. But, his lagging polling numbers and Trump’s decision to overtly endorse Tuberville means he has a very steep hill to climb.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
That is all.
Sessions just ain’t that smart. After supporting Trump, Trump said “whatever position you want”. Sessions didn’t think strategically, he just wanted AG to cap off his career.
So true, everybody would be better off had he not become AG except for the Democrats.
Has Roy Moore endorsed one of the two finalists?
Why did Sessions not tell Trump about his recusal?
Is he truly a traitor? Or just an ex DOJ swamp scumbag and former bribe taking Senator.
Trump is just helping Jeff recuse himself from politics.
I think Jeff didn’t really want to run...he did it because....well just because. But don’t think his heart is in it and he’s willing to pass the torch. So President Trump is probably doing him a favor.
I loved Jeff as a senator. He was a terrible choice for AG.
But Trump can't be expected to endorse another retard Sessions, who unbelievably recused himself to let Obama's holdovers execute their brazen coup attempt.
Trump's people need to help Tuberligation, but also get any dirt they can on him to keep him in line when Linda Graham and Durbin launch their mass amnesty schemes next year.
I agree!
“...has never forgiven Sessions for this act of political mendacity.”
NOR SHALL I.
mendacity
lying · untruthfulness · dishonesty · deceit · deceitfulness · deception · dissembling · insincerity · disingenuousness · hypocrisy · fraud · fraudulence · double-dealing · two-timing · duplicity · perjury · perfidy · untruth · fictitiousness · falsity · falsehood · falseness · fallaciousness · hollowness · kidology · codology · economy with the truth · terminological inexactitude · unveracity
Yeah, ALL of those.
“...what could be the final nail in the coffin of the political career of Jeff Sessions.”
Relating to old Jeff the two words that jump out at me are:
“coffin” and “Sessions” (Politically or otherwise)
However, it’s very possible that Sessions did a remarkable job as AG and that we won’t know whether his public statements and President Trump’s remarks about him were act or fact.
We, the public, don’t know what sort of traps Sessions was a part of and/or recused himself from, and so we can’t yet know who and what they caught in those traps. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Given the nature of all he’s been involved with as AG, perhaps it’s best that Mr. Sessions “officially” recuse himself again, so to speak, and just sit things in DC out for a while.
Perhaps it’s better that he’s now just a private citizen who is ready, willing and able to testify should his testimony be needed.
Read Peter Schweizer book.
Sessions never took a dime of lobbyist money.
A good man is being smeared!!
Did Sessions ‘drop the ball’ in the Russia Collusion crapola?
Or was he embedded into the Trump campaign to help stop him? (deep deep state)
The day after he takes his office he recuses himself. You would think that would be something he might have mentioned to Trump. Trump should have fired him that day.

So is he a traitor or a lowlife scumbag swamp rat/bribe taking useless senator?
Relax jeff, your political office days are over.
Enjoy your family, eat some grits and eggs, pray {and remember, wash your hands with hot water and soap for 20 seconds}.
I’m amazed at the hutzpah of Sessions to believe that he had ANY chance of winning in an American election again. How long does a person’s head have to be up his ass before he actually dies? How many years?
“He was loyal to the end”
LOL!
Senore’ Sessions turned his back on Trump when The Donald truly needed him.
Like they say, Pay back is a ???
