Sessions Out

Embattled Jeff Sessions out. Do we presume a replacement will be confirmed during a lame duck session? Mueller probably has things he wants to move on post-election - it would be nice to know who is boss is.

But forget about Russia - Sessions was aboutthe last man standing in opposition to marijuana reform:

Bucking a bipartisan trend to support less harsh tactics for drug offenders, Sessions instructed federal prosecutors to file the most serious charges possible, and to seek the death penalty when appropriate. He moved to pull back on the department’s work on reforming abusive police departments.

And while not exactly declaring war on states with legal marijuana — still an illegal drug under federal law — Sessions made clear he was eager to roll back the growth of the cannabis industry.

I think we can do better.

TWEETING: From the boss:

We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well....

Well, "Acting" AG.

Wow, lots of comments, lots of news for one day, even if it is after the election.

I've had time to digest the news and all the comments, and while I am disappointed at losing the House, overall I feel quite good.

I'm with Derwill, though I thought the number of R congresscritters retiring was 30, not 45, if Derwill has a source I would appreciate that, but when you have that many incumbents, whatever the number, leaving open seats you lose the value of incumbency.

I remember looking at the list of retiring Republicans and thinking that I didn't see any heroes on it. Maybe I missed one.

I hope I don't sleep through The Day of the Rope:

Progressive organizations have announced coordinated protests to take place in cities and communities nationwide on Thurdsay, November 8th at 5 PM (local time) in the wake of President Donald Trump's firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Right after Trump forced Sessions to resign, the White House announced that Matthew Whitaker—a DOJ official who has shown open hostility to the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller—would now serve as acting AG and be put in charge of the ongoing investigation.

"Trump just put someone who has openly trashed Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation in charge of it," Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, one of the advocacy groups behind the rapid-response demonstrations, explained in an emergency email Wednesday evening. "Trump thought that by waiting until after the polls closed on Election Day, our voices would be silent. He was wrong."

Anna Galland, executive director for MoveOn.org, said: "This is a red line crossed, an attack on rule of law."

I think we found the culprit

[Pinandpuller]

Republican Denver Riggleman — a man who once wrote a book titled Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him — just beat out Democratic challenger Leslie Cockburn (Olivia Wilde’s mom) for the U.S. House of Representatives in Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District seat. The district has historically voted Republican. In what has to be the strangest race in the midterms, Riggelman beat Cockburn by seven points, according to the New York Times.

We learned about Riggleman and his Bigfoot book in July, when Cockburn tweeted out a screenshot from Riggleman’s Instagram. The post showed a buff, naked drawing of Bigfoot, with a very large censor bar covering Bigfoot’s privates. “Don’t erase the censor box…” Riggleman had captioned the post.

Cockburn’s tweet contained two damaging pieces of information about Riggleman. She wrote that he “was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist. Now he has been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica.”

"New Jersey voters once again agreed to borrow money, this time to spend $500 million on cleaning water supplies, improving school security and boosting vocational schools."

Crap! Almost every bond issue passes in NJ. So we're going to borrow $500 million. After interest that's like one billion. NJ has $46 billion in bond debt obligations already.

It's like bonds aren't real money, so if you word them right, they pass.

Never mind that we spend $4 billion a year paying off the principal and interest of past bonds.

My sainted father taught me to never vote for a bond issuance, no matter how noble it sounded, because it was a disguised tax.

I understand what you're saying. I just don't think there is a there there.

Too much of a stretch for me. Mueller could do that, but he'd have less luck than he'd have against the Russian company push-back in NYC.

With the AG out, an acting AG taking over who will oversee Mueller, and Rosenstein out of the line of overseeing this, I expect Muller having to explain himself to a new overseer who won't tolerate his BS.

I expect Mueller coming under overwhelming pressure. Legal equivalent of shit or get off the pot.

More depressing news (sorry) but it appears that the probable fault for that Indonesian 737 that crashed last week was probably due to what we've been discussing all week---erroneous electronic data from faulty sensors in either their pitot tubes or their Angle of Attack gauges, thus producing bogus airspeed and attitude info: Boeing jet crashed in Indonesia after key sensor replaced

The jet's airspeed indicator malfunctioned on its last four flights, and that problem was related to the sensor issue, said Soerjanto Tjahjono, chairman of Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee, on Wednesday.

Lion Air's first two attempts to address the airspeed indicator problem didn't work, and for the Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane's second-to-last flight on Oct. 28, the angle of attack sensors were replaced, Tjahjono said.

On the Oct. 28 flight, from Bali to Jakarta, the pilot's and copilot's sensors disagreed. The 2-month-old plane went into a sudden dive minutes after takeoff, which the pilots were able to recover from. They decided to fly on to Jakarta at a lower-than-normal.

The next day, during the deadly crash, the plane hit the water at very high speed just 13 minutes after takeoff from Jakarta. Its flight crew had requested permission to return to the airport several minutes after taking off.

Back in Thousand Oaks sounds like there are at least 11 casualties including a Security Guard, and the gunmen is unidentified and possibly still in the building.

The ballot initiative for Amendment 4 to Florida's Constitution could majorly affect future elections in the swing state, which has been known for its very tight voting outcomes.

From the twitter thread MM just linked:

He was just a man who when faced with a very hard choice decided the best course was to not make a choice and that decision cost him his job.

The thing is, and this is why I can’t let it go, making hard choice is part of the job, and Sessions knew that going in. He was the chief law
Enforcement officer in the country. There is a price that comes with the job.

I don’t like making hard choices, either, but I never asked to run the Justice Department. If he didn’t want to face those choices, or take the heat for them, or get down in the ugly mid, he could have refused the job with no shame or dishonor.

Instead he took it, made promises and swore an oath, and then decided he couldn’t bring himself to pay the price he’d agreed to, but wanted to keep the job anyway.

I’m not OK with that.

If you read the Gregg Jarrett article up above, you can see plenty of reasons why he should have been fired months ago. I didn't realize how much he had done and not done to make the situation worse.

Some people are unable to manage or take action when hard choices come, and that might be the case with Sessions. I am not going to waste time on trying to figure out whether he was actively trying to make things worse, or whether he was incompetent or heading towards senility. It's pointless.

I am very pleased with the appointment of the acting AG, who seems to see exactly where the problems are.

[Janet]

rich's 3:22 about Trump Jr. and this bit from P&p - "She wrote that he “was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist."

...notice that the Dems are frequently attacking Republicans by just who they spoke to, or if they were in the same location as "evil X".

So many of those moments seem to be set-ups from Democrats.

They tried that too at the beginning of the Russian hoax. The MFM stories were about who had been in the same room as the Russian ambassador. That point kinda died when lots of pictures of Dems with the Russian ambassador came out.

It is like a 'guilt by proximity' ploy.

I still can't get over all of that stuff in Gregg Jarrett's article which I posted at 5:38 and will re-post here for reference:

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/gregg-jarrett-trump-did-the-right-thing-by-telling-jeff-sessions-youre-fired

I wish I had seen this months ago. I wouldln't have entertained much of the "stealth Jeff" theories had I seen it laid out like that.

A few months ago I realized I just couldn't follow all of the legal stuff and names in the Mueller/Rosenstein/FBI mess and chose to just observe. I didn't want to become obsessive and I realized I just didn't have enough information.

Sessions hadn't worked for the DOJ for many years. Perhaps he didn't realize how politicized it had become. Maybe he just was too timid and unable to deal with all of the problems. Who knows?

At any rate, President Trump made the right decision, as far as I am concerned.

[Kevlar Kid]

The President is the chief executive of the United States government. He was duly elected to the position.

POTUS has the obligation and RIGHT to manage the affairs of the country according to the due process of laws passed by the US Congress.

Say goodnite, JB Sessions. YOU served at the pleasure of the President.

Your exit, lacking grace a righteous man might show under these difficult circumstances, says more about YOU than your BOSS.

End of story.

[Kevlar Kid]

Jeff Sessions is a politician first, and a public servant, well who knows how far down the line that is on his list of priorities.

Sessions might be a moral upstanding man. He might be seated in the divine choir loft of earthly saints. Who gives a sh*t?

He was Attorney General of the United States and opted to insert himself in a miasma that was non-existent over in Homeland, where he was wanted in the first place.

Just because you can, don't meanya should, JB.

That's all.
