This is above the TKC pay grade but it's still interesting . . . Blogging this one because it makes partisan protestations seem silly in retrospect.
And, in much same way that Coretta Scott King thanked Senator Sessions in addition to criticizing him at an earlier time . . . Anybody watching the presser witnessed a public official keeping his promises and responding to a controversy with a great deal of candor and honesty . . .
And so, despite a victorious speech just a couple of days ago, check the news roundup whilst as we move on to news closer to home . . .
New York Times: Jeff Sessions Recuses Himself From Russia Inquiry
LA Times: His announcement came after a day of mounting calls from fellow Republicans for Sessions to recuse himself from any role in the investigation. Those calls began when news broke that Sessions had failed to disclose contacts during the campaign year with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
CNN: President Donald Trump said Thursday he has "total" confidence in Attorney General Jeff Sessions following accusations that he misled Congress by failing to disclose pre-election meetings with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
Fox News: Sessions announces recusal from Russia-related probes, denies misleading Congress
You decide . . .
The Trump - Putin connection needs to be investigated by a special select committee. We have a right to know if our President committed treason. In the same vein, it's time for Der Fuhrer to release his tax returns. We have a right to know just what his business interests are, & whether there are any conflicts of interest in his being President.
ReplyDeleteOnly under this fascist regime would this be allowed to continue.
BTW, for eight years I've read in the comments of this blog how Obama was the Nigger-in-Chief, & the Democrat from Kenya, but now we have to be respectful of The Dump.
NEIN
Obama could hide records but Trump cannot? Hypocrisy.
DeleteThe hypocrisy pisses me off so much I misspelled NIEN.
ReplyDeleteThe Fubkenshyster - Buttholio connection need to be investigated even more.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of hypocrisy, ol' Zombie Claire got caught lying about her own contacts with the Russians. Too bad for her and the left, Twitter has a long memory.
ReplyDeleteBut is it surprising? 88% negative press coverage of Trump since he won. The major news outlets have no bias, tho, right?
Byron. I'm sure they will get around to investigating trump after the backlog of investigations going back to the ford administration are finished
ReplyDeleteIn other words. Nobody in Washington is ever truly held accountable
As far as trump/Russia goes, this is the biggest bunch of hysteria I've ever seen
Perhaps there is something there, perhaps not
But the idea that 65 million voters were somehow duped is even a bit much for the usual knotheads in your party
4:10, you dummkopf, you accidentally spelled it right the first time: NEIN.
ReplyDeleteSure Byron, when are you going to release all your facts? When are you going to admit to perjury? If anything needs investigated it's you hands down.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a long eight years for the Trump haters.
ReplyDeleteThe great part is every time they flap their pie holes they are guaranteeing Trump will be followed by a conservative candidate in eight years and they don't even comprehend why.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat members of Congress wear all white to the State of the Union to remind the American people of their legacy as the party of the KKK
ReplyDeleteTHE RUSSIANs ARE THE NEW BOGGY MAN IT WAS BIN LADON ITS POLITICAL IT'S A WORLD ECONOMY THEY WANT TO MAKE YOU THINK RUSSIA IS THE NEW ENEMY BUSINESS PEOPLE SPEAK WITH RUSSIA EVERYDAY IF I SPEAK TO NIKITA WILL I GET CRITICISM CHINA IS THE COUNTRY YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND NORTH KOREA
ReplyDeleteByron Funkhouser has become the modern-day Joe McCarthy, leading witch hunts against his political opponents. The difference is, Funk isn't a U.S. Senator, he's a rock with lips.
ReplyDeleteThe right is playing checkers while the left is playing chess. The left is systematically picking off members of Trump's staff one-by one, while everyone on the right is busy calling the left "lbtards & snowflakes". The left ended the Candidacy of Andrew Pudzner before he could be confirmed. Then they took down Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor. Meanwhile the right continues to squawk about an Electoral College victory that happened over 4 months ago. Now the left has moved in on Sessions and got him to recuse himself from the Russian investigation. Don't kid yourself that is huge. Now a special prosecutor can be installed and we all know what happened once Kenneth Starr came aboard to investigate Clinton. Sessions is most likely gone...he can't survive but go ahead and keep calling the left "libtards" and snowflakes. The seeds have impeachment have been planted.
ReplyDelete^^^^^ Wake up dude, you're having a leftist's wet dream.
ReplyDeleteSessions lied under oath...its perjury no question. You right wing cucks keep whistling past the graveyard.
ReplyDeleteLock him up!...lock him up!...Lock him up!
ReplyDelete"I do not know Putin...I have never spoken to him" "“I was in Russia, I was in Moscow recently. And I spoke indirectly — and directly — with President Putin, who could not have been nicer.”....Donald Trump. I never spoke to the Russian diplomat before the election."...." I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador."-Michael Flynn...as he resigned for lying. ""I did not have communications with the Russians."-Jeff Sessions under oath at his confirmation hearings. "I had contact twice with the Russians." Jeff Sesions during his press conference today. All these liars and there is absolutely nothing going on with Trump & Russia?. It's the media and the libtards who are making this up? Things that make you go hmm...
ReplyDeleteMetrosexual hipster 9:07 and 9:26 have difficulty with reading comprehension beyond 5th grade level.
ReplyDelete"I'll have more flexibility to negotiate after my election." - Barack Obama caught on a hot microphone in March 2012, talking to the Russian President.
ReplyDelete7:25-9:07-9:26 are fantasizing GOP friendlies having committed a "...dodging sniper fire" lie or "I did not have sex with that woman..." denial FUBAR. The difference being hoped for recants of 'bad-faith brokering with the Bear', instead of Hilly's ridiculous 'bogus bullets in Bosnia', or Billy Jeff's risky 'banging a babe in blue a dress'.
