About Jefferson Beauregard Corn-Pone

[Mira]

I am listening a bit to the interrogation of him by the panel of Senators, and I find him to be a splendid representation of the level of honesty, transparency, regard for the people and their concerns, and readiness for his office as is also exhibited by the rest of our current government.

In other words, I am appalled at the hesitancy and fearfulness in the responses, and disgusted that this ignorant person represents the head of our Department of Justice.

The swamp was drained and everything that was found in the muck was elevated into the current cabinet.
The Peter Principle at work all around us.

1. I agree with your post, Mira

Just curious about your chosen sig photo. What about that repulsive image of Drumpf led you to attach it?

[Mira]

4. It is connected

to asking him to stop lying - as Attorney General Holder said yesterday. You are right, it is nauseating, and I took it off.

6. Sorry, I wasn't implying that you should feel compelled to remove it

Just curious what the rationale was behind that particular picture of an UGLY human being. Now I know. Thanks!

7. I started to hate it earlier

...really much
so it had to go.

3. The Peter Principle?

No Donald, that is not a reference to your own equipment.

Sessions is the AG that Trump deserves.

rises to any level...

5. I believe pond scum is above all of them. n/t

8. that's not what the Peter Principle is

The Peter Principle details how competent workers will continue to get promoted on merit until they reach their highest level of competency and then will get an additional promotion based on merit that takes them to a level that is beyond their competence but they don't fail enough to get demoted or removed so the bureaucracy becomes moribund.

14. I was hot and bothered,

and figured it was not precise. Sorry. Knew someone would catch it, though.

15. I understand. My wife has taken to called me Mr Parkinson

when I watch the news because I am shaking so much

9. We are running out of words

to describe how bad he and his administration are.

10. Here's a good synopsis of this morning with Sessions

BREAKING:

Sessions admits under oath he discussed Trump's Russia policy in a long-undisclosed—lied about—September '16 meeting with Kislyak.

That Sessions discussed Russia policy with Kislyak is something I wrote about here three months ago, but it was never picked up by media.

I was contacted by Congressional staffers back then. I explained how Sessions' last testimony *inadvertently* revealed these discussions.

Now Leahy's questions have made clear the fact Sessions was essentially negotiating sanctions policy with Russia during the campaign.

Given that Trump was legally on notice Russia was committing crimes as of 8/17/16 his NatSec chief COULD NOT LEGALLY negotiate sanctions.

6/ 3 weeks after Trump knew Russia was committing crimes, he had his NatSec chief negotiate sanctions relief with Russia. That IS collusion.

7/ Proof of collusion is right in front of us now. Sessions agreed to meet with Kislyak AT THE RNC—it was a POLITICAL meeting Trump knew of.

8/ A presidential campaign CANNOT LEGALLY learn a foreign power is committing crimes against the U.S. and then offer them aid and comfort.

9/ We know from reports Trump's plan was to unilaterally drop sanctions his first month in office. So Sessions would have told Kislyak this?

10/ Sessions says he talked Trump's Russia policy with Kislyak in mid-2016. That policy was to drop sanctions. In context, that's collusion.

PS/ At this point, EVERY question the Democrats ask Sessions today should be about his September 2016 meeting with Kislyak—and its context.

PS2/ Any conversations Sessions had with CANDIDATE TRUMP about his then-upcoming Kislyak meeting couldn't be covered by executive privilege.

Much appreciated.

13. You're welcome

There are only a few I follow on twitter, there are some ok accts and then there are some reliable ones who's reputation preceeds the emergence of twitter.
Wherever we find reporting by others than those affiliated with only TV Media is always a good form of info.
Guess TV News shouldn't be expected to provide it all., so we must look to others.
