Yes, the man often seen with the back of his hand held trembling to his forehead while heading for the fainting couch will be our next attorney general.
In Name-That-Cabinet, today’s leading contender is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, a man named after a Civil War general and President of the Confederacy, for Attorney General. Alabama’s contribution to the Build A Wall movement, Sessions was also turned down for a federal judgeship during the Reagan administration for racist statements while prosecuting African Americans in Alabama.
And to keep the fun moving right along, the Koch Brothers pet congresspoodle, was appointed CIA director.
[Mike] Pompeo, 52, a third-term congressman from Kansas, was a surprise pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. He was on the House of Representatives intelligence and energy and commerce committees, as well as the committee investigating the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.
Yeah, the Benghazi committee.
He also opposes abortion even in the case of rape and said that Muslim leaders who fail to denounce acts of terrorism done in the name of Islam are “potentially complicit” in the attacks. He thinks that Edward Snowden should be tried and then given the death penalty.
But hey, y’all, have a great weekend!
Deity(of your choice), have mercy upon us, because we really screwed up this time.
1Sessions may be even too hard to take for the members on the Senate committee. This may be one of those times when the gag reflex over-rides the old boys club
2By Pompeo’s reasoning, then Trump should be held personally responsible for all the bigotry being acted out on the streets in his name.
3Well…… hell.
4People tend to flock to others like themselves. Hence the current crop of appointees.
It’s enough to make me want to drive to Colorado, stock up on Nacho Cheese Doritos, and then spend some money in one of the “plant” shops.
5If the snacilbupeR in the Senate deploy the nuclear option to confirm these bozos after failing to confirm Merrick Garland, they’ve added an extra he’ll to hypocrisy.
Meanwhile back at the House, if that Granny Snuffer Lyin’ Ryan claims we don’t have a centavo to pay for education, social security or whatever program he’s thrown into the austerity cutting house, I demand an audit. A full accounting of what we are paying to provide secret service protection for Donnie’s tri-level Manhattan lair and for his 3 ‘adult’ children and that putz Jared. I don’t recall those 4 being on a ballot anywhere.
6Isn’t “House Intelligence” an oxymoron?
7Drumpf prolly has the SS guarding his tax returns so no one can see them. I wonder how fast rogue agents from NY FBI office get promoted under Drumpf?
8And it will only get worse from here on for 4 more years.
9PKM, I’m trying to be fair– the SS does provide protection for a president’s kids. But I don’t know if that includes adult kids who don’t live with him– should think not.
How much of a clusterfrack will it take before even the people who voted for this jackwagon realize their grievous error? I hear the pollster who kept saying Trump would be elected now says he’s going to be impeached.
10The worst of the worst.
11Life in America as we know know it
is over.
Rhea, that would be Baron and perhaps Tiffany, if she is still in school. The adult grifter $billionaires can do with what they have always done – pay for their own private security.
12As long as Assange gets the same treatment as Snowden, whatever.
13PKM, Tiffany graduated, but I see she still isn’t in the mainstream with Smaug, Gollum, and Cruella DeVille.
14Linda Phipps, from their few stage appearances, it seems Baron and Tiffany are either the next Drumpf generation and have yet to matriculate or they prefer distance from Uday, Qusay and Big Sis. The first 3 spawn are all Donnie with a soupcon of Ivana thrown into the mix. Must be a hotel thing; Ivana has a certain semblance to Leona Helmsley in the charisma department.
Meanwhile back at Transition Team troll the media HQ, they’re still hiding a few names. Among the missing: Bernie Madoff to head the SEC and Darth Cheney as Surgeon General to beat the line for yet another heart.
15So the CIA will be working full-time on Benghazi until the next underfunded embassy security disaster?
16He no it must be confirmed. And that may not be a cakewalk.
17Please follow protocol, and call him the “Diminutive Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.”
18Part of the reason Trump is nominating second and third tier people ( I’m being very kind.) is that no qualified people are lining up to take these jobs. They simply do not want to be part of this circus. I suspect we’ll see lots of turnover in many of these jobs. After all, Trump went thru three campaign managers in a year and is already on his second transition chief in the past 10 days. Use a pencil when you write the names of these nominees. Some will drop out and some will not be confirmed by the Senate. Better oil up the ol revolving door.
19@treehugger You best head up to Colorado now. Once Jefferson Beaureguard Sessions III is confirmed those shops may be closed for good.
Though Jeff is one of those “states rights” kind of folks. At least when it comes to keeping the “states white.”
He is on record that he was fine with the KKK til he found out they sometimes smoked mary juana.
20Semi indecent snacilbupeR, the most respectable ones, don’t want to be too closely associated with the Cheetoh-faced Ferret-wearing Shitgibbon Cocksplat. They’re worried about being Christied.
21Although let’s be honest, we’re all highly amused that Chris Christie got fired. After he sold his soul to be Trump’s bag boy, and suffered humiliation in hopes of a cabinet post as a reward, now he’s sent home to NJ with his tail between his chubby legs. LOLOLOLOL. Schaudenfreude, anyone?
22I know Jill Ann. It’s just too good. Bwahaha!
23Jill Ann and Debbo: And the rest of the Cheeto-faced One’s choices better watch out, or they’ll be right behine Christie. Maybe the revolving door will move so fast that nobody will be able to actually get anything done? I hope so.
24Jill Ann and Debbo: And the rest of Donald of Orange’s choices had better stay on his good side (and that of his son-in-law), or they’ll be right behind Mr. Krispy Kreme. Maybe the revolving door will spin so fast that they never get anything done? I hope so.
25And the computer ate my first message, which I tried again to post. So I wrote a second, and then it posted both of them. Sorry.
26To y’all: Donnie can choose who he wants. He doesn’t want thinkers. He wants lapdogs. And he’ll get them. Look at the ones who condemned him and are now making the pilgrimage to T-Tower. Trump is now an independent. He will not tow anyone’s line but his own. Why should he have any loyalty to the Rs who didn’t support him as he felt they should have? Come Jan. ’17 Donnie goes into the history books. Biggest feather in his cap. He has no intention of being labelled Worst President Ever. Dubya can keep that crown. There are ALOT of surprises going to come down. Fasten your seatbelts kiddies.
27If Jefferson Bobo Sessions becomes AG, Gov Robert Bentley could be in a position to appoint his successor down to and including himself. Aladamnbama the race is on for you to impeach handsy Bob before he joins the Cheeto team of grabbers in the Senate.
Hey Senators, before you go all giddy and rubber stamp one of your own, do you really want Bentley in your midst?
