Thank You, Senator Jeff Sessions
In her 2015 confirmation hearing, Jeff Sessions demanded to know if Sally Yates would be confident enough to stand up to the president of the United States, especially about immigration.
Thank you for helping the cause on down the road, Jeff.
“Do you think the attorney general has the responsibility to just say no to the president if he asks for something that’s improper?”
Oh hell, yeah.
I solemnly swear to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic . . . except Steve Bannon and Cheeto Jesus. Bravo to Sallie Yates. She knows what the oath means.

2No no, thank YOU Mrs.JJ. I shall now do my duty and pass this along.
3Such a delicious cup of schadenfreude.
In the interest of integrity, Jefferson Beauregard should appear wearing his Donnie ball cap and looking every bit the caricature he is of Andy Capp. H/T to my grandpa for pointing out that resemblance.

4Oh, the irony, it burns.
5Let’s see if Jefferson Beauregard has the stones to tell his new boss “No” any time in the near future.
6My guess is that he’ll follow the rest of the invertebrate class Republican’ts example.
“No matter how headstrong that CEO might be…”
Got it in one!
7I’m sure when someone points this out to Sessions (hopefully those questioning him will play this video), he’ll say something to the effect that HE doesn’t have to be held to those same standards.
8Sincere apologies Mama, but Sessions doesn’t have the balls that Sallie Yates does.
9Somewhere down the road . . . Yates for President?
10So Li’l Jeffie was intent on making sure the AG would stand up to the president — when that president was a Democrat. And black. Now, however, he’ll see no reason to do what he used to claim was SOOOO important.
“Circumstances have changed.”
Because presidents are incapable of having conflicts of interest. And white Republicans always uphold the Constitution.
Or something.
11Hey, hearing committee! Bounce this guy — hard! Don’t let him anywhere near the DOJ. He speaketh with ford tongue.
Just heard Betsy DeVos got her vote. She won by one, a single vote. Yes. Thats what is callused “close”. Hope she gets the damn message.
