Yes; it's a joke.

He is loathsome.
Ugly face, horrible voice, total leftist, has a job only due to his last name.
Total loser.
Back in the old days, Sessions showed up at a FReep in D.C. He was very nice, supportive of grass roots conservative efforts. Let me know when you find out what went down with him as AG.
That travel crate he’s riding in will protect him.

I called and left a message that because of Romney, I will no longer come visit Utah and spend my dollars there. Used too because I am right down the street in northern Az, not any longer. :)
More the better... :)
That stupid action of hers will follow her forever.
I’d add a few others:
Saturday night -
. Jesse Waters
. Judge Jeanine
. Greg Gutfeld
Fox Biz
Stuart Varney
. Lou Dobbs
. Trish Regan
. Charles Payne seems pro Trump but don’t normally watch his show but he is good on F&F.
Sunday mornings with Maria Bartimorolo is great. I don’t watch her daily morning show much, as it is a lot of business, etc.
Bill Hemmer is on in Shep’s old time spot
. A hugh improvement (though I very rarely watched Shep.
See post #203.
Fascinating info. Thanks!
You’re welcome to hold any opinion. - Even SILLY opinions are acceptable to believe, as FREEDOM OF SPEECH & EXPRESSION is extremely important in a free republic/society.
By your theory, I would presume that you could say that the KKK is also a religion. - Pardon me for saying that even suggesting that either the so-called “Progressive”/FAR LEFT wing of the DIMocRATS Party and/or the KLAN is a religion is simply: ABSURD.

What I do think is that going up against a corrupt bureaucracy, is far, far more difficult and risky than people think. There’s way too many hostiles and you don’t know who they are. Being AG does not necessarily give you enough clout. ------- Yes indeed.
Hell, Donald Trump is POTUS, and tremendously strong one, and even he has been unable to root them out. Bill bar was supposed to be tough, Durham, etc.. I think it’s a lot tougher than it looks. ------ It's a lot tougher than it looks ...... and IT LOOKS PLENTY TOUGH. ;-)
I think of it as being like getting rid of a thriving wasp nest in your gutter. You are up on a ladder with the can of poison. You need to be sure you kill them all or don’t kill any. ------- Oh God .... that is pricelessly correct. Especially on a ladder....... ;-)
So maybe Sessions was too nice a guy to be suited for that job - it in my opinion, that’s about the worst I can say about him. ------- totally agree.

((Sorry for agreeing with you all the time, but you're just too damn wise/perceptive/aware.))
“McConnell is signaling that the idea of “bipartisan” impeachment doesn’t mean much to him.”
I didn’t interpret McConnell’s answer that way at all.
The fake news reporter was trying to score points for the Democrats, by pointing out that this time, in the Senate, it was the Republicans that lacked solidarity (thanks to Romney’s defection).
It’s actually a fair point - the Defense team and Senate Republicans repeatedly used the argument that the House impeachment was politically motivated, since no Republicans had voted for it.
Thanks to Romney’s defection, the same argument can be used to suggest that the Acquittal was politically motivated, since no Democrats had voted for it.
Although technically sound, this argument is entirely spurious, since the burden of proof is always on the prosecution to prove guilt “beyond a shadow of doubt”.
The principle of “Innocent until proven guilty” makes “partisanship” in a vote to impeach or convict, a very damning epitaph. In a vote NOT to impeach, or a vote to acquit, partisanship is perfectly acceptable, due to the presumption of innocence.
McConnell’s “pretty much a party line vote” comment was just a way of dismissing the reporter’s argument as spurious, without getting into the weeds of trying to explain advanced jurisprudence concepts to a non-lawyer.
I do hope, at some point, he fires a warning shot across Romney's bow to let him know he won't tolerate many more defections, especially when it comes to Supreme Court justices.

I think McConnell will eventually find opportunities to punish Romney for this despicable betrayal.
But he can’t do it right now, while Romney’s stunning lack of party loyalty is dominating the news cycle.
Remember, disloyalty to the Republican Party is NOT what Romney did wrong. What he did wrong was to vote to convict and remove a President from office on false charges, because he hates him.
His crime had nothing to do with party disloyalty. His crime is far, far worse than party disloyalty. His crime was weaponizing the power of impeachment to destroy a President he hates. Romney did what every single Democrat did - abuse the power of impeachment for political ends.
To make Romney’s vote about “party disloyalty” is to play into the Democrats’ strategy - it actually makes Romney appear “courageous” and implies that Republicans who voted to acquit did so out of party loyalty!
McConnell was proud of Republican solidarity in for voting to acquit - NOT for the sake of party loyalty - but because it was the right thing to do! Likewise, he is not going to publicly rebuke Romney for party disloyalty - that’s not what he cares about - he will punish him later for his REAL abuse - voting to convict an innocent man just because he hates his guts.
I expect McConnell will make Romney pay dearly - but he will do so quietly, and months from now, so that the fake news can’t make him into a martyr for “obeying his conscience rather than a political Party”.
