After days of grilling and procedural delays by butt-hurt Democrats seeking petty revenge for getting destroyed in the election, the Senate Judiciary Committee finally voted 11-9 to advance Jeff Sessions as nominee for attorney general. The approval comes two days after acting Attorney General Sally Yates was fired for refusing to honor President Trump’s Executive Order on immigration.
Sessions’ nomination had been opposed by civil rights groups over claims he made racially insensitive remarks about African Americans. From The Hill:
Civil rights groups have been pushing Democrats to reject the Alabamian who lost a confirmation fight in 1986 for a federal judgeship over those claims, and lawmakers seized the opportunity over two days of hearings to question him about his remarks as well as his record on voting rights.
“I do not harbor those kinds of animosities and race-based ideas I was accused of,” Sessions said when questioned by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
For the unaware, Jeff Sessions is the guy who’s going to put Hillary in jail – notwithstanding an 11th hour Obama pardon we don’t know about yet. Update: NO PARDON BITCHES!
Steve Mnuchin and Tom Price sent through as well:
Earlier in the day, Treasury and HHS cabinet picks Steve Mnuchin and Tom Price were advanced by the Senate Finance Committee for final Senate approval. This comes on the heels of a Tuesday boycott by senate Democrats, which resulted in an unprecedented “fuck you, we’re doing it anyway” rule change by Republicans, requiring Democrats be present for the vote – a move Sen. Orin Hatch (R-UT) called “unprecedented actions” in response to “unprecedented obstruction.”

Still no word on what the fuck was going on with Mnuchin’s face the other week:
Pretty sure Sessions agreed to excuse himself from the Clinton investigation
Recuse
Dude.. for a guy who was whining for months about a corrupt HRC you have no problems with Price’s favorable stock purchases? Seriously? You believe his bullshit. Don’t even whisper the word cuck if you can’t see the hypocrisy. Jeez.
But more importantly… reports now that Melania won’t be moving into White House. She hates Emperor Carnage, who is probably banging Omarosa. This will get interesting.
He ate a cry baby. Those things are no joke
Seriously about the face
Wiggles…lol !
Name one single member of congress, either party, who has been prosecuted for insider trading.
Can you? Nobody recently. The magic negro reversed most of the STOCK law with little fanfare from the pole smoking press corp in 2013.
Besides the fact the press fellated Barack to no end when he signed that same law into effect in 2012.
Every single DNC candidate for president since Carter has been a lawyer. Huge fucking coincidence no?
So fuck off with your pissing and moaning about Price. Pelosi is worth hundreds of millions.
Jesus Christ @trader, are you ever satisfied?
@jts – you’re right, Sessions did say that. I should have said his DOJ is going to put Hillary in jail after Sessions directs an appropriate underling to go after her with both barrels.
Cock and Balls waits for no bitch. Like a Boss Hogg.
I’ll show you a boss hogg
Boss Hogg will have you back in Honduras picking coffee beans. If your lucky. If not. Stuck down a mile long mine shaft digging for emeralds with a fucking spoon. In the dark. America First dude.
I was born here nigga,
What exactly are you insinuating? other than the fact that you are indeed a racist?
Prices trades are probably less nefarious than Ol Hill’s $100,000 windfall in cattle futures.
I mean…she’s a real cattle type guy and would know this stuff, right?
Let’s be real here…
