Somebody Get This Man a Hobby

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is kinda pathetic. Well, maybe I should say more pathetic than usual.

He doesn’t have anything to do all day so he’s taking up issues deeply important to our country and our justice system:  pot and Hillary.

Pot?

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has rescinded an Obama-era policy that paved the way for legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country, creating new confusion about enforcement and use just three days after a new legalization law went into effect in California.

President Donald Trump’s top law enforcement official announced the change Thursday. Instead of the previous lenient-federal-enforcement policy, Sessions’ new stance will instead let federal prosecutors where marijuana is legal decide how aggressively to enforce longstanding federal law prohibiting it.

Now let me see if I have this straight.  Republicans, especially Sessions, are big states rights people.  They think that states ought to be making decisions about your life. Unless, of course, those states start making decisions that Republicans don’t like.

And if spoiling everybody’s fun isn’t enough, the Justice Department has decided that … oh dear God in Heaven Above … Hillary’s emails.

Justice Department officials are taking a fresh look at Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she served as secretary of State, The Daily Beast has learned.

An ally of Attorney General Jeff Sessions who is familiar with the thinking at the Justice Department’s Washington headquarters described it as an effort to gather new details on how Clinton and her aides handled classified material.

Oh hell, there you sit worried about nuclear holocaust, climate change, and having a fruitcake for president when you should be worrying about Hillary’s emails.

Somebody please slap Jeff Sessions.  That man child with the sweet voice has done got on my last nerve.

 

Honey, He Wouldn’t Be Stable Even If You Mounted Him On A Tripod

Donald Trump certainly pushes the boundaries of the collective hunch called reality.

So nobody is surprised that …

Lawmakers concerned about President Donald Trump’s mental state summoned Yale University psychiatry professor Dr. Bandy X. Lee to Capitol Hill last month for two days of briefings about his recent behavior.

In private meetings with more than a dozen members of Congress held on Dec. 5 and 6, Lee briefed lawmakers — all Democrats except for one Republican senator, whom Lee declined to identify. Her professional warning to Capitol Hill: “He’s going to unravel, and we are seeing the signs.”

Honey, his hair alone is a pretty good sign that his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the penthouse.

I think it’s great that Dr. Lee talked for two days but, actually, how many ways can you say “something ain’t right with that boy.”

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

I’m Just Pondering the Possibility

This morning, The Washington Post announced that Trump’s lawyers are trying to stop publication of the book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”

Do you want to know the first and only reason I cannot wait to give Amazon all my money for that book? Donald Trump double-down-hard doesn’t want me to read it.  Otherwise, I wouldn’t give a big bear’s butt about it.

However, I figure, if Trump doesn’t want me to read it, it must be true.

Now here’s where it gets weird in my head.  Since Trump is kinda good at collusion, what if he and author Michael Wolff got together to “write a book.”  The book is just full of hooey, but they stage this show of lawyers with paper lances to sell those books?  Huh, have you thought about that?  No?  Okay, so it’s just me.  Never mind.

Anyway, it’s gonna be some dandy fun watching lawyers squabble. That’s worth a couple of bucks.

Okay, this caught my attention:

 

Colder than damn Mars.  Look, I saw that movie where Matt Damon got left on Mars and that place looked colder than a well digger’s butt in the Klondike.

If you live along the coast, please check in – especially my friends in the Carolinas who are not used to this crapola.

Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chair and friend to Russian strongmen, has filed suit against Robert Mueller, Rob Rosentstein, and the Justice Department claiming that Mueller’s investigation is illegal.  Yep, that’s what they’re wasting time on today.

Understatement of the day comes from white collar crime attorney Sol Wisenberg, who told CNBC, “I think it’s going to be an uphill battle.  These kinds of things usually don’t prevail.”

Manafort has pulled out all the stops.  We’re popping popcorn right now.
