Jeff Sessions Resigns [if you want to discuss Q, do it on the Q conspiracy thread or not at all]

Breaking now

Resigned rather than fired is much much better.

He resigned at Trump's request. No difference.

[RitaOK]

<<< “ POPCORN ALERT! “ >>>

Amen, brother!

(We hear that, at very minimum, the Rosenweasel will be dismissed from playing pointman for Mueller).

[Flick Lives]

Now who is going to make those nice Keebler Sandies?

[PapaBear3625]

Trump will have more latitude in the new Senate to replace cabinet officials as needed, with Flake and Corker gone, and a bigger margin.

Don't forget McCain also gone. We would never have gotten Kavanaugh if McCain were alive.

[Professional]

What up with the dickish title?

[Windflier]

...he can run for Senate against Doug Jones in Alabama and re-take his old seat

Sessions deliberately stood aside and allowed the deep state coup plotters to get away with the most egregious crime in US history - all while leaving the President exposed to a heinous witch hunt that dogged his first two years in office.

The man doesn't deserve to be elected dog catcher of Podunk, Alabama.

[zanarchist]

Jeff Sessions had that offer already and at this point that offer is gone.

[Seaplaner]

"Affect" and "effect" are commonly used incorrectly, my good FRiend; and I do appreciate your interest in good grammar and usage.

That said, however, and from Grammarly.com...

Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change.

That’s what I thought, maybe I’m wrong.

Judges and Cabinet members...?

[Admin Moderator]

Ask Jim. Or not.

[Raebie]

Jeeze, my title was Jeff Sessions Resigns. Admin added the rest. How many times to I have to post that??

[sport]

I agree Windy.

You misunderstand— he was a bad administrator, too long in the Beltway world- and thus eminently played by the little greaseball Rosenstein- but pragmatically, he could take this seat in a heartbeat (see his percentages for re-election in prior years) and be useful politically. Don’t misconstrue the notion of this with defending his poor performance as AG. He is, after all, just a pawn- the better to be “in place” in service to the Executive, who has remarkably re-written what constitutes a “Republican”. The devil we know IOW, in a position we could use, on the wave in 2020. Not that the Senate, per se, is a club of people of integrity (NJ re-elected freaking Menendez, a serious pedophile and grafter).

[lurk]

Love to have an AG who isn’t known. Some tough district chief who doesn’t say much but has a trail of legal victories on his resume.

[Sontagged]

Trump needs to fire Romney niece, new RNC chair... now.

[Professional]

Sorry, ...well then Jim is being Dickish.

[RitaOK]

That may come, but I am not sure of the grounds that concern you. Is it the allocation of money in some key races?
