Just saw an ad for Jefferson Sessions: "45committee" paid for it.

Touting what a "civil rights leader" he has been..Urging everyone to call their congresscritter to encourage conformation..

This is the first time I've seen it.
Is his confirmation in trouble? Will calling our Congresscritters possibly effect the outcome?

3. "Myth No. 1: Sessions has an unusually poor record on civil rights."

Most repukes suck on that so it's sadly true he's "not an outlier".

8. Number 1 is a lie and the other 4 are just as bad.

Chicago Tribune is a right leaning piece of tabloid news. We lefties usually rely on the Chicago Sun-Times that appear to be going out of business. So the Tribune is trying to take some of their business and trying to compete with the likes of the Washington Post that have been getting some of ChiTown subscriptions.

2. I called both my Senators

and ask that they vote against all of the cabinet picks as they are either ethically or intellectually challenged. Not one of them is up to or worthy of the jobs they have been chosen to perform.

4. What about the Vets Sec pick?

Who I believe was an undersec under President Obama.

The guy seems like a technocrat to me but I suppose he's sposed to be our token Democrat.

6. He is person they will blame

for the V.A.'s failures.

They know not to pick a republicon for that spot.

5. I saw the ad in Ohio yesterday or the day before.

7. so much bullsh*t in only 30 seconds

In the same breath they say he's for criminal justice reform and then they blow the law and order dog whistle. Suuurrre.
