The country hangs by a thread, D.C. is filled with corrupt evildoers, God gifts us with fighter Trump, Sessions himself puts our President in this almost checkmate position, and now this idiot chases mj.
I vomit in Sessions direction and nightly pray for his removal. Bastard traitor extraordinaire.
I was glad when Trump nominated Sessions.
The key word in that sentence is “was”. What a disappointment.
WHy are Seth Rich’s murderers not indicted?
or the murderers of the other witnesses?
or the Clintons for treason?
or anyone for unmasking Americans?
or anyone for the rapes and selling of childrens’ organs
in Pizzagate?
or for the IRS Atrocity?
or for benghazi?
Answer: because they fight back
and/or the DOJ is in on it.
Damn!... you're right as rain about that.
Maybe CINC has found someone at DOJ that he really wants and can appoint acting AG indefinitely.
“Who can fire Mueller?”
Sorry. I should have wrote: “I hear Trump can fire Mueller.”
I prefer to think (hope) that Sessions has a federal grand jury investigating ALL these issues in secrecy.
This on top of his plan to revive civil asset forfeiture (code for government theft of private property w/o due process rights of any kind) is a deal breaker for me. He needs to go. And if Trump actually supports this nonsense that would oblige me to reconsider my ability to support him.
Exactly. This is precisely why the left is suddenly trying to again link Sessions to the big "Russian conspiracy" and make people think he's going to send in a SWAT teams to take your bongs away from you.
The left isn't happy that Sessions is cracking down on illegals and things like that. They thought he would come in and just do the usual stuff... shake down banks and stuff like that. They want another shot at getting someone more to their liking.
For quite a while I had been hoping that since he recused himself from the Russia investigation, behind the scenes Sessions was readying investigations/charges for Hildabeast et al...
Trump himself ruled that out in November. See post #26. Maybe people need to stop trashing Sessions for a decision made by Trump, or show us where Trump changed his decision.
Wow...Maybe instead of saying PEOPLE when you mean ME just say “you”...sheesh!
1. What Trump said in November immediately following the election and what has transpired since may have changed President Trump’s mind...I sure hope so—and he needn’t telegraph that publicly.
2. I am not trashing Sessions because he did not go after Clinton.
3. I am very disappointed in Sessions because he is not doing anything productive nor supportive of the Trump agenda IMHO...His initiatives as far as we can tell when he is not in the witness protection program:
~~DARE??
~~Marijuana?
~~Increasing asset forfeiture?
~~Praising Acting US Attorney in Las Vegas, Steven Myhre, leading the prosecution of 19 men accused in the Bunkerville Standoff near Bundy Ranch-April 2014??
DARE? At best it was ineffective, and some folks I know felt that it actually increased drug use through knowledge of all the drugs, etc.
I am conflicted about the legalization of marijuana; however, regardless of my feelings, marijuana is becoming legal in many states, and perhaps it should as the war on drugs has been a cash sucking freedom sucking dismal failure.
I don’t see how increasing asset forfeiture is Constitutional or advances liberty.
Nor do I see how praising the prosecutor in the Bundy case advances liberty...Sessions did not have to weigh in...he chose to. He sided with big government.
I will, However, Trash sessions because he did not discuss his recusal with President Trump. He should have—at minimum it would have been a professional courtesy. Trump is in this pickle in large part because of the actions of Sessions.
So yeah, I am going to wholeheartedly trash Sessions for that!
Refer madness.
As a nation, we don’t need another bad habit to go mainstream (and it always astounds me that the left promotes pot smoking while pursuing cigarette smokers with the zeal of puritan witch hunters). But we also don’t need the federal government to use all the tools of the surveillance state to control what people put into their own bodies in the privacy of their own homes.
With all the problems this country faces and with limited resources and time, this should be VERY LOW on the list of priorities.
It's a fact that there is no such thing as an illegal drug, there are only controlled substances.
Actions taken with those substances are what are illegal.
See, after Prohibition Congress knew it couldn't make marijuana illegal so the controlled substance angle was created so the law would be considered Constitutional.
1938 to 1951
Commissioner Anslinger, sitting in Washington, seeing these marijuana insanity defenses, one after another successful, he writes to the pharmacologist from Temple University and says, "If you don't stop testifying for the defense in these matters, we are going to revoke your status as the Official Expert of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics." He didn't want to lose his status, so he stopped testifying, nobody else would testify that marijuana had turned them into a bat, and so these insanity defenses were over, but not before marijuana had gotten quite a reputation, indeed.
Don't believe laws based upon lies!!! If you do you have to support Obamacare.
“(and it always astounds me that the left promotes pot smoking while pursuing cigarette smokers with the zeal of puritan witch hunters). “
Do you really think it’s just the left that hassles cigarette smokers?
Not so————anti-smoking is the ONE thing that both sides all agree on.

Good thought. Or a Recess Appointment of someone who is a real hard ass.
DJT must move into a solid war footing.

The tussle between the states and the Feds on the issue isn't unique to Sessions or Trump.
Also, Trump earlier this year signed the temporary budget extension which included an extension/affirmation of the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment in it, thus continuing it until at least September.
An added thought: Sessions should agree to resign. He could make up an excuse. Then DJT would get no grief for firing him.
I almost never agree with you.
Stoner boy has warped perspective.
This time I do.
Stoner liberal loves Obama.
Hilarious!
