Jeff Sessions Blinks UPDATED
Okay, there is something wrong with Sessions. I’m watching Dick Durbin question him. He blinks once a second for about 10 seconds, then he doesn’t blink at all the next 20 seconds. It’s weird.
Sessions is running away from his record faster than a bullet with legs. He says, “The AG just enforces the laws so how I voted doesn’t matter.”
Now I’m watching John Cornyn kiss Sessions butt.
Who else is watching?
1:05 Texas Time – Ted Cruz is using his entire time to give speech bashing Democrats for the past 8 years and the Democrats on the committee. The good part: no way in hell they’ll put him on the Supreme Court now. He’s dripping in sarcasm.
Cornyn kissing Session’s butt? Now there’s an image I could’ve done without. Can’t watch. My bullcrap meter won’t allow it.
1I’m watching if only to see Cory Booker and John Lewis tear him a new one. Senator Durbin pinned him down on his votes against The Dreamer’s Act and inclusion of LGBT in the Violence Against Women Act.
2Jane and I watched earlier. First thing we noticed was Jefferson Bobo Sessions the coward hiding behind who appeared to be his great granddaughter, an attempt to “humanize” himself. Fail.
Then we observed the little man flinch when Senator Feinstein spoke some truth to his lying face.
*If* and it’s a big IF, we were to accept Jeff’s racist ‘jokes,’ we would still need to climb over the hurdles of his misogyny, hatred toward the LGBT community and others. Or, approximately 80% of Americans for whom he is ill equipped to provide equal justice.
His record is clear. And, clear thinking Americans reject it and him.
3He’s the third of his name to uphold the treasonous “honor” of the CSA; he shouldn’t be anywhere near that office.
4I can’t watch. I’m depressed enough already about the incoming administration. I just can’t.
5“The AG just enforces the laws so how I voted doesn’t matter.”
The AG, as I understand it, also has a big say in deciding which laws to enforce and how hard. Voting rights and LGBT anti-discrimination? Naah, those we don’t much need.
6And related to this is that blowhard Inhofe who absolutely has no problem with using a different measure for Trump’s appointees than used for Obama’s. He absolutely admitted it. Who, by the way, opened to door to admit the KKK protesters to this charade?
7How on earth can we confirm an AG that is guilty of perjury fer Pete’s sake mumble grumble mutter
8Keep it up, Teddie. Senator Graham would probably be happy to test his theory of killing you on the Senate floor. Set yourself on fire and see how many “friends” you have ready to douse the flames.
Now that’s a Hobson’s choice: would they urinate on Teddie or let him burn.
9Cross examination 1-001. Witness: “Well that was just a joke!” Examiner: “I don’t get it, explain it to the jury.”
10Rapid blinking is indicative of lying. Yes, I know you are shocked!
11Ted has seen how Trump treated Christie so he knows he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Florida of getting a SCOUS nomination. Stick a fork in Teddy he’s done, now if only the same thing could be said of Jeffy!
@Aggieland Liz #8- If the snacilbupers rejected this south of the Moron/Dixon line loser for a federal judgeship I see absolutely no reason to even consider him for AG. I thought the last couple were pretty bad, they don’t hold a candle to this loser. He had to be nominated by someone like the tRUMPf, noone else would consider him.
12Deb–I wish I could believe that, but the same folks who sent him to the senate sent the Orange One to the front of the class.
I don’t trust them for a minute; his chances for re-election from this state are way too high.
13Cruz spent most of his time excoriating President Obama and his
14Justice Department. I spent the time trying to cast a curse on him that would take away his nauseating voice.
Al Franken made an effective case that Sessions lied about his record on civil rights cases and had names of prosecutors who backed him up.
Tomorrow John Lewis and Cory Booker. Of course, they were made to wait until the whites had their say.
I would tend to associate Sessions’ blink pattern with that of lizards.
15…….reminded again how sleazy Teddy C is……double icky.
16DJW, you are undoubtedly correct but hope springs eternal. Linda, can we go with a lying lizard? In any case I’m willing to contribute towards Maryelle’s curse, eye of Newt anyone?
17I haven’t been able to watch those guys lie either. I’m thinking about how they are sworn to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” They answer, with a straight face, “I do.” Don’t any of their Bubble People followers mind that, before their testimony even gets under way, they start with a lie?
