Keep Fucking With Kamala Harris, Boys. Youre Making Her Stronger.

On Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions sat his cattywampus ass down, lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee about why Donald Trump fired James Comey, refused to answer questions about his non-privileged conversations with the president, and STILL couldnt recall whether he had international relations with the Russian ambassador three times. One of the most memorable moments was when he made clear that, though he might be recused from the Trump-Russia investigation, I DID NOT RECUSE MYSELF FROM DEFENDING MY HONOR AGAINST SCURRILOUS AND FALSE ALLEGATIONS! Duly noted, sir!
But our favorite Sessions quote of all was, Im not able to be rushed this fast! It makes me nervous! Thats what he said when extremely mean black lady woman vagina-having whippersnapper Senator Kamala Harris was doing THAT THING SHE DOES asking really good rapid-fire questions, like the badass former prosecutor she is. Old Republican weasel-snatches in the Senate do NOT like it when she does that! Lets LOL at it again together:
But then it got even crazier. Senator Harris, like MANY OTHER senators, was trying to figure out precisely why the fuck Sessions wouldnt answer any questions about his conversations with Trump, who, again, had not invoked executive privilege in regards to Sessionss testimony. Sessions claimed to be following Department of Justice policy, and Harris wanted to know, hey, is this so-called policy a thing thats written down somewhere, or is it just some bullshit? There was a prolonged back-and-forth, but then A THING HAPPENED, which was 954-year-old Senator John Butterscotch Farts McCain, playing the part of INTERRUPTING COW, MOOOOOOOOOOO! Watch it:
McCain is not even a regular member of the intel committee, but that did not stop him from POUNDING HIS FISTS AND STOMPING HIS FEET, because the awful mean black lady senator was asking TOO MANY QUESTIONS. McCain must speak up for his fellow addle-brained morons, to demand that that woman over there STFU and let them answer! When McCain interrupted, committee chair Richard Burr reminded him that HE controlled the hearing, and then he promptly gave Sessions time to NOT answer the question. Sessions kept talking about principles, and did not confirm or deny whether he was referring to actual DOJ policy, or whether he was just making up shit to cover for Trump. After Sessions didnt answer the question, Burr quickly cut Kamala Harris off, because her time was expired. At least Burr gave McCain shit in this instance, because LAST WEEK, when McCain POUNDED HIS FISTS AND STOMPED HIS FEET at Kamala Harris, as she was interrogating Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Burr only scolded Harris, who was apparently not being sweet enough:

If you go to Harriss website right now, you can get this sticker for free, in exchange for some information. Courage Not Courtesy sounds like a pretty good presidential campaign slogan to us!
Or she could always go with Dont Start No Shit Wont Be No Shit. Whichever she likes best."

(10,038 posts)I wish we had more like her--smart, direct, fearless! Wouldn't 2018 be a fine year if we could elect more women like Kamala Harris!

(81,419 posts)Yep, that Fantastic Senator is the new bright light in the evening sky.
I wasn't sure we could improve upon our retired Senator Barbara Boxer. But MAN-OH-MAN did we ever! Same thing for when Henry Waxman retired, and I wondered if we could ever do as well as him for our Congressman. With the arrival of Ted Lieu, I needn't have worried for a single nanosecond.

Perhaps that's why Kamala Harris's name is already turning up on various wish-lists for the Democratic ticket in 2020. VERY proud of my Senator!
She's a dream of a replacement for now-retired Barbara Boxer!

(90,769 posts)I want her to be my Senator for a long long time, and if she loses a presidential run she'd be out of the Senate too.
I am liking her better with each day that passes.

(82,383 posts)I recall Biden was allowed in DE to run for the Senate too. He won and of course immediately needed a successor which was chosen per the rules they had for that.

(19,965 posts)FUCK OFF. It was one thing to do it to Kamala once but TWICE ??? A senior Dem should have shut him off, or at least put him back in his box. After all he is just a "guest" on that committee.

(24,259 posts)trying to run the clock down on HER allotted time for questions.
I haven't been able to watch a whole hearing in years but if I remember correctly they're each given just so much time and the clock can keep running even through the person replying and interruptions?

Delay of game!
AND, Point of order! The Senator cannot be recognized to speak in a committee he is not a member of. Guests do not carry speaking privileges and especially when they are out of order.
I would love her to school them on Roberts Rules.
Then persist with the elf!

(24,259 posts)Sessions had that damn smirk on his face when he interrupted and dithered at her.
Do I think a strong assertive woman made him nervous.. yes, but I also think he knew if he dithered and went on and on that she'd run out of time. He did not want to have to deal with a woman, no less a black woman, asking him questions and pushing him for answers so he played a bit of a game and from the look on her face I would say she knew darn well that was what he and the Republican male senators were doing.
IMO it was flat-out sexist (with a dose of racism at least on KKKSessions part) because the male Democrats, who were assertive in the same way as she was were not censored in anyway. It was pretty much the same damn thing that Elizabeth Warren ran into where they would not allow her to read the speech but her male Democrats counterparts were allowed.
I'd love to see her persist with the Keebler Elf (who I keep hearing Foghorn Leghorn from when he's speaking).
She must have totally rocked as AG and, much like I can with my NY senator, Gillibrand, I can see her being an excellent president or VP if that's something that she wants to do eventually.

(45,494 posts)that's what they do. They're probably not used to someone persisting nevertheless and would like to see how far they can go before she stops being so uppity and learns her place and starts acting more submissive like the other brown people they know of like undocumented workers and H1bs.
A strong confident brown American woman prosecutor shocks the shit out of them. They can't handle this level of diversity and feminism oppressing their way of life.

(39,405 posts)When they had Condi in to testify, they spent what seemed like an hour going over her resume and complimenting her on accomplishments before getting to any questions, essentially, running out the clock on bullshit.
