Senator Jefferson Beauregard sessions III, the man who was racist enough that the Senate rejected him for a federal court appointment in the 1980's, has been offered the position of attorney general.

 

 

"In testimony before the committee, former colleagues said that Mr. Sessions had referred to the N.A.A.C.P., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and other civil rights groups as “un-American” and “Communist-inspired.” An African-American federal prosecutor then, Thomas H. Figures, said Mr. Sessions had referred to him as “boy” and testified that Mr. Sessions said the Ku Klux Klan was fine “until I found out they smoked pot.” Mr. Sessions dismissed that remark as a joke."

Let's try his home state newspaper's take on the nomination of Sessions.

I found it interesting that Sessions later became part of the same Judiciary committee that rejected his judgeship earlier in his career. That is....strange

 

 

You cant be a judge because we think you are kinda racist. BUT, you can help us choose who can be a judge

Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas as CIA Director.

 

Yikes.

 

Let the Tea Party begin.

Each nominee is worse than the preceding one. Not exactly "Team of Rivals" storybook stuff here.

I can at least get why he'd pick Sessions for AG and Flynn for national security adviser, even if I think they're very dangerous and hateful people who shouldn't hold those positions. But Pompeo? What's his qualifications for CIA director? Aside from being on one of the many Benghazi committees, he hasn't even held a seat on national security or spying-related committees.

Almost every appointment is a disaster.

Why is Ivanka Trump sitting in with Donald Trump's meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister?

 

 

There are going to be so many conflicts of interest in the administration.

 

 

The fact he wants to live closer to his business interests didnt give that away?

Yeah, he's a con-artist, but he's so darned honest and tells it like it is.

"I never settle"

Seems like everything about this guy is a scam. Thank you Trump voters for electing a con man.

"I never settle"

But he didn't admit guilt. Another huge win over that lightweight AG..

Ivanka and Kushner at meeting with Abe was out of a "tin pot oligarchy" playbook...pictures of event wouldn't have come out if not for the Japanese releasing them

- Standing ovation during the line "Immigrants, we get the job done"

- Crowd goes nuts when King George sings "When people say they hate you" and "do you know how hard it is to lead?" and they have to pause the song.

- Finally, the cast had a very civil message/plea to him at the end.

Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!

 

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 55m55 minutes ago

The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!

What did Pence honestly think was going to happen?

Take him back to his safe space!

Mike Pence is a real piece of s***. So good.

With his widely known anti-gay views, it's practically a hate crime for him to appear at any Broadway play.

 

EDIT: But at least it's a good story for Trump and his team to deflect the fact that our President elect is about as clean and honest as Bernie Madoff (i.e., Trump University).

Can he launch a pre-emptive cruise missile strike at US/domestic targets if he gets REALLY angry?

 

At Alec Baldwin or most of the brothers except Stephen?

 

What next, reporters picking on Ivanka will end up at Guantanamo Bay for waterboarding and rectal feeding under Mike Pompeo?

"safe and special place".. Nice!

 

Then he ends with "Apologize!".. seriously? The president-elect of the United States telling citizens to apologize. This is going to be a disaster.

 

 

Look, Trump may have a lot of faults, but he has always been respectful to our elected officials. He just feels like we should do the same.
