jeff sessions is the only confederate monument trump was willing to take down

A lot of bad shit is about to go down, but let's all take a moment and enjoy the fact that, for the first time in 23 years, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III holds no political office and wields no official state power over anyone.

This owns. The biggest, most pointy-headed child-kidnappinest wrinkled scrote in the administration is finally gone and it's blatantly obvious it's only because he knew committing obstruction would impair his ability to commit racism.

Sessions is implicated in the Russian interference case. He met illicitly with Kremlin officials and oligarchs and lied about it on his clearance forms. He also likely committed perjury multiple times.
Sessions should be indicted.

Perhaps relatedly, Mueller’s grand jury meets on Fridays. https://t.co/aMTMJXx0Mw

The question now is how motivated is Jeff "I forgot about the Russian contact" Sessions to get on the right side of the Mueller or house investigation?
— Schooley (@Rschooley) November 7, 2018
Sessions got pushed out for not knuckling under on the Mueller probe when all he wanted to do was inflict suffering, bar immigrants. separate families, mass-up mass incarceration, "let cops be cops" and make you do serious time for weed. https://t.co/C9CdBXVSHC

One thing I would not have expected two years ago is that there would be greater panic when Jeff Sessions was fired than there was when Jeff Sessions was hired.
— Spencer Ackerman (@attackerman) November 7, 2018
I think the raw treatment of Jeff Session is karma, and I don't really care that much. This is the price of being on the Trump train. But I hope all those red-hat wearing loyalists down in Alabama are getting a good eyeful of what Trump thinks of their beloved local son.

Millhiser is a fucking moron. The VA, ffs, was being run by a few rich invisibles sitting at a Mar-a-lago bar.

Good bye KKKeebler Elf.
Good riddance.

Unfortunately Bilbo Bigot will probably run against Doug Jones for his old Senate seat, unless Mueller has a smoking gun. I will always treasure the memory of his whining about Kamala Harris being mean to him.

I know it’s not meant to be a comedy twitter feed, but the DPRK news feed is pretty funny.

Sessions’ malevolence is so extreme I can’t begin to understand it and haven’t tried. I’ve been around people like him too many hours of my life. What benefit do they derive from making people’s lives more difficult? Do they harbor hatred so great it can never be worn down? Were they shown such hatred early in their lives that it’s the foundation of their existence?
We can’t waste time trying to suss out their souls. We’ve got work to do to keep democracy together and our spirits strong for at least the next two months. We’re dealing with cornered animals. They’re afraid that they’ll be facing justice because they’ve wandered from the norms, decency, and morality. And the law. Our task is to restore these four things without crossing any lines ourselves. And we haven’t even begun to come to any agreement on what we should tackle first – you know, strategy.

Mary G:
We should be so lucky. I suspect KKKeebler Sessions won’t be too popular in ‘Bama now that Trump has written him off as a disloyal recuser – and Sessions’s popularity is only likely to decline further in Alabama if he testifies in Mueller’s investigation.

@sukabi: It’s not? I’ve always assumed it to be satirical.
Yarrow
@Mary G: Sessions is a traitor. We’ll see if he’ll be allowed to run for his old Senate seat again.
JGabriel
@sukabi:
My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that the DPRK Twitter feed isn’t officially associated with N. Korea at all, and is, in fact, intended to be funny.
Again, though, I could be wrong about that. It’s what I’ve heard, but I’ve never done any research to verify it.
sukabi
@Ian R: probably started out as “news service” set to fluff Kim Jung Un’s ego, evolved into “aww fuckit” …

Wtf was wrong with his tweet?

@sukabi: It’s always been fake.

@JGabriel: who knows any more? This timeline is ridiculous.
wasabi gasp
@Platonailedit: it unknowingly implies powerlessness. Just throwing out voices in his head.
But I admit singling out Millhiser like I did is a little bit unfair, as there’s often a whole bunch of dum-dums among the ridiculous cast of characters AL follows.

@Yarrow: ok, it’s still a ridiculous timeline.
Adding, I’m actually disappointed that it’s not North Korean.

@Mary G: Nah. They’ll probably nominate Roy Moore again.

That’s what they want you to think.
Of course it’s real. Marshal Kim is 10 steps ahead of running dog US corporate media.

Better you than us!
Is it better than Batesville, Arkansas’ local radio station in 1960? My brother and his friend Jim Burton Arnold were featured on Goin’ Fishin’ for catching a pair of Buffalo in the White River. Gowan fish hun, fish hun all a ty um, fish hun all a ty um…

@Dan B: Being that I was born in 1960, I don’t remember(I was in CA anyway).

@Dan B: Batesville, Arkansas… Many fond memories, did a lot of caving in that area and have many friends thereabouts. Never listened to the radio tho.

My wife is in deep doodoo. We lost our satellite feed this morn and she couldn’t get it back. I had to fix it. I, the resident Luddite, became the Technical Support Representative for the OH household. I went outside and swept the snow off the dish.
Raven
@OzarkHillbilly: Wife or life?
?BillinGlendaleCA
@OzarkHillbilly: Did you expect your wife to sweep the snow off the dish?
OzarkHillbilly
@?BillinGlendaleCA: The funny thing is, she had no idea it had snowed. I told her last night that it was snowing and she completely brain farted it. Didn’t really believe it, had to go outside and see it for herself.
@Raven: My life has been deep doodoo from the gitgo, my wife only since she married me..
raven
@OzarkHillbilly: Whoo hoo!
PaulWartenberg
The only person I feel sorry for in the Sessions firing is Kate McKinnon. She’s down to just seven people in the trump administration she can mimic for SNL from the 19 she did from 2016 onward.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@PaulWartenberg: She’s going to have work on some new people, there’s going to be a lot of turnover between now and the beginning of the year. Unfortunately Trump probably won’t be one of them.

@PaulWartenberg: I’d like to see Aidy Bryant in a bald cap as Whitaker. She’ll get to stretch her range a little.

If Omarosa could roll over, why not Sessions?

@JGabriel:
I think the lesson of Texas should disabuse you of that notion. Now that Sessions is no longer an obstacle to Spankee’s interference with the Mueller probe, all will be forgiven, and everything bad that was said about Jeffy Jeff will be water under the bridge. Sessions remains very popular in Alabama, and he would probably be tough to beat.
But Doug Jones is going to have an uphill battle holding onto his seat in a normal election regardless of who runs.
