Sessions was a U.S. Senator for 20 years before he was AG. I’m tired of living in a country that is governed by @ssholes who think it’s their God-given right to go through their lives without ever working a real job.

Good riddance to this useless old hack.

They played the same game to “recuse” Devin Nunes and the GOPe and Paul Ryan rolled over like a desperate dog for a belly rub.

His point is that Sessions is too Trumpist to appeal to the old party hacks, but made the Trumpists mad with recusal, so neither faction could really get behind him.

Sessions behavior as AG was very old party hack-like. That's probably where he got his 39% of the vote.

-- They played the same game to "recuse" Devin Nunes ... --

IIRC, Nunes was sidelined on a different pretext, that as chair of House Intelligence, he had been colluding with the WH and excluding the DEMs from relevant facts. It wasn't the same sort of "conflict of interest" argument used to sideline Sessions.

That said, all of it was a "game." All the action was based on a hoax that was known to be a hoax, and all was done with the intention of reveresion the results of an election, unsing the US government to advance a lie to the people.

Our government is despicable. Congress was in on it, exec departments in on it, and the Courts are in on it too.

Analysts always make this more complicated than it really is. Trump voters, whether hardcore supporters or the just "fight with the army you've got" type, realize that the choice facing us at this moment in history is between Trump, and turning this country over to the hard left. So, anyone who joins in attack on Trump is helping the left, whether that is their ultimate motive or not.

Those Republicans/conservatives who believe there is some "middle ground" are simply useful idiots for the left.

That's a Sessions lie. And now you repeat it as we try to beat the Democrat Jones.

Sessions had a job to do as Attorney General, to protect and preserve the Constitution of the United States.

He failed.

The voters gave him the F grade he totally deserved.

Life is simple when you know the rules.

Why? Recusal.

Maybe he’s just spineless then. As I recall, the entire basis for his recusal was 1) he was at a dinner party that the Russian Ambassador also attended and 2) he and several of his staff once met with the Russian Ambassador and several of his staff. Is that all it took for Comey to put the fear of God into the poor man?

Yup. Sessions feared the Deep State. He was afraid that they would try to frame him. So he recused himself, country be damned.

Color me a skeptic about Tommy...we will see.
If he immediately starts palling around with Mittens Romney and Linda Graham, we are in trouble.

“It insisted that I sign up to read the article.”

I had no problem with the entire article loading.

But at any rate, America lost a vote for keeping it’s borders and instead got a “no borders” goof with Sessions lost.

Despite what it may seem, the simple truth is that U.S. Senators don’t work for the voters of their states. They work for the INDUSTRIES in their states.

I din’t vote for Jeff. He just pissed me off too much when he recused himself. Don’t know why he did it... I know I don’t trust him when the rubber meets the road though, so I went with TT. I think TT has a good shot at beating Jones... y’all best believe Jones has a base, especially on the Gulf Coast where I live. Lots of damn Yankees move down here and bring their voting habits with them.

Jeff, don’t think of it as a loss. They just decided to recuse you.

“...He was a good Senator. But a terrible AG.
He was the wrong person for that job during that time.”
***************************************************
That has been my opinion also. He was too meek for the job and/or too trusting of snakes like Rod Rosenstein.
