They gotta win seats to so that and their counter to Trump's Congress speech (state of the Union or w/e) was loving terrible lol. Plus the new DNC leader won't rule out Hillary running in 2020 again (probably won't happen but the fact that they can't say she won't is pretty lol)

At this point, I would support any politician, regardless of other stances, if they ran on a policy of merciless, holy inquisition of Customs and Border Protection

Admittedly the hate group is for egg-heads and academics to influence policy and stop non-white immigration in order to preserve a white majority in the US rather than skinheads knocking over Jewish tombstones, but there you have it.

Yeah, I remember looking into her background when they announced. But what gets me is that it seems like...the organization is saturated, all the way down, with people who just don't seem interested in seeing brown people as human. Like, I'm sure it's not everyone, but it's enough. Honestly, from a lot of these stories, these people should not work for CBP, "following orders" or not.

Some quick notes after a night of news comedy: - I generally link twitter because it's easy as hell on a phone and makes article clickthroughs easy. If you're quoting someone's twitter post, remove the twitter link so the quote doesn't have the blown-up picture too for those on desktops. - For tweetstorms (the thing where people respond to themselves like 15-20 times), just link the first tweet. If they're interested in the whole thing, they'll click through and it's easy to read. - Don't get too worked up about all the poo poo about 'normalization' and what's bad and good to react with. Hail gay satan and enjoy this poo poo as it happens because we're getting an absolutely incredible amount of jaw dropping news on a daily basis and it's hilarious watching assholes get what they deserve, even if it doesn't lead to actual charges and stuff. Plus I'm sure that stuff will be coming soon enough Content: here's some news! https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/837280682992881664 https://twitter.com/MarkHalperin/status/837280912794583041 Those quotes wouldn't have happened without yesterday.

Sweden to reintroduce conscription amid rising Baltic tensionsquote:Sweden is to reintroduce conscription due to difficulties filling the ranks on a voluntary basis at a time of increased security concerns, the defence minister has said. https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/837263430264446976 A Handed Missus fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Mar 2, 2017 |

This is basically the Swedish government saying "We are not prepared to give soldiers decent wages so we are going to force people into conscription". Never mind the fact that you easily can get out of this by appearing as if unfit for duty. As it is, recruits are payed lovely wages, including having to pay for accommodation in the barracks. The military never left the mindset of having a conscripted army. Our neighbours Denmark and Norway have for some reason less problems with this (as far as I know).

So I didn't watch the video to hear the direct quote, but didn't sessions say he never met with Russians to discuss campaign issues? I mean he met with them, but they didn't ask if he did it as a member of the armed services committee, just as a campaign member. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the angle taken to avoid perjury.

He probably will take that stance, but he didn't actually say the bolded part. I imagine it will be an "oops, imprecise language!" situation. Al Franken didn't even ask about Sessions talking to Russians. He just volunteered that part. So it reads like: Franken: Did the Trump campaign have contact with Russians? Sessions: I DIDN'T DO IT! https://twitter.com/ShaneGoldmacher/status/837164540366237697 https://twitter.com/nhstein/status/837160598718722048

I thought it was nice that Franken tied Sessions up in knots if for no other reason than to make people feel better. Now it turns out he might have helped steer dumbass into perjuring himself.

The perjury thing is a long shot anyway. The important thing is him recusing himself from any investigations. Until now, the GOP has been dragging their feet on calling for it.

The video isnt the only time he lied. People are sent written questions as a part of confirmation. One question asked if he had met with anyone or if he had information about any trump people meeting with Russians. Sessions' one word response was "no."
