Didnā€™t he kinda, you know, perjure himself a couple of weeks ago? Why has this somehow been completely dropped and why is he still able to be a talking head?

FYI

"Remember Jeff Sessions?

Tomorrow, thanks to Representatives Hakeem Jeffries and Ted Lieu, the scandal-ridden attorney general and his many connections to Russia will be the subject of a debate and vote in the House Judiciary Committee.

Reps. Jeffries and Lieu have requested evidence from the White House and Department of Justice about Attorney General Sessions (and Trump) "that could connect the Trump campaign with the Russian effort to compromise our democracy."1

But thus far, your representative, Donald S. Beyer, Jr., has not joined the more than 100 House members who are publicly supporting this congressional effort to shine a spotlight on Sessionsā€™ and Trumpā€™s connections to Russia.

Letā€™s make sure his Capitol Hill phones ring continuously with requests that he sign on to the ā€œDear colleagueā€ letter being circulated now by Reps. Jeffries and Lieu.

Can you phone Rep. Beyer right now?

Hereā€™s where to call:

Rep. Beyer - 1-877-650-0039
You can say: ā€œCongress must fully investigate Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who lied under oath during his confirmation hearing about his connections to Russian officials. Iā€™m in full support of Reps. Jeffries and Lieu, who are pushing for the truth on Wednesday. I urge Rep. Beyer to sign on to their ā€˜Dear colleagueā€™ letter in support of this necessary congressional oversight.ā€

Then tell us about your call by clicking here.

Tomorrowā€™s committee hearing will deliver progressives a triple win:

Reps. Jeffries and Lieu and all the MoveOn members like you who call today are making sure that House members know that the publicā€™s desire for answers about Sessions, Trump, and their ties to Russia is as strong as ever.
Media coverage of the judiciary hearing can provoke public debate about the fact that Sessions lied under oath during his confirmation hearing. MoveOn will amplify whatā€™s uncovered during the hearing to help hold Sessions and Trump accountable.
When Republicans vote this measure down, which they are expected to do, weā€™ll have them on the record as voting to hide the truth about Sessions from the American people. And you can bet weā€™ll make sure their constituents know that these Republicans are ā€œtruth hidersā€ as we head into 2018."

Iā€™m one of the 7 billion odd people that doesnā€™t have a Senator but is still looking at whatā€™s happening in the US (and therefore, the rest of the world) and silently screaming into the abyss.

Remember that for every US voter, there are another 20+ people in the rest of the world staring open-mouthed at this debacle. Yā€™all need to do the right thing and start throwing out prosecutions and impeachments, left, right and center.

Pretty sure he knows he would be exceedingly awful at it, and that the first pitch is universally a time used to mock presidents.

Remember when Captain Planet bad guys were outrageously over-the-top evil-for-evilā€™s-sake assholes and not Republican members of Congress?

To be the slightest bit fair to this pile of snakes, they did not create a redirect from ā€œhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/civil-rightsā€ to the law enforcement page (I refuse to give them hits). However I have a feeling that is only because they do not know how to make a redirect and/or they are working on a rewrite of the civil rights page addressing religious freedom.

Time for the ā€œoppositionā€ media to call each and every one of them out on this, every day, all the time.

(Ainā€™t gonna happen from the corporate media, I know, just dreamingā€¦)

Because, apparently, ISPs should be ā€œfreeā€ to do whatever they want with your information, and you should be ā€œfreeā€ to not have to worry about getting confused or concerned by pesky breach notifications when (not if) all of that collected data leaks out onto the internet at large. Freedom!

Republican officials believe in their own personal freedom as the elite class. That their voters conflate that with their own personal freedom to not be fucked is apparently not the GOPā€™s problem.

Oh, well since corporations are people I guess that makes sense. :neutral_face:
