I'm not so rah rah fuck the electoral college as most, but when a Republican like Sen. Sessions says something about the American people spoke clearly this election in support of some bullshit anti-immigration position it really pisses me of.

Eraserhead Jon Cornyn on to tell us all what a swell guy Sessions is

Oh Senators, you're so hilarious.

"Do you think it's okay for anyone to assault a police officer"

Cornyn asking the tough questions

Yea, right after healing the divide by stating "I'm glad you pointed out that Democrats hate the police."

You're likely right. What Democrats can and should do though is embarrass these people as much as possible. And they shouldn't worry about playing fair. I really hope someone has video of some of the appalling things Sessions and others have said.

And for once, I'm pretty happy with what Cory Booker is doing.

Love that the sanctimonious Ben Sasse is the spitting image of the young (similarly sanctimony-prone) John Kerry

Yeah, I agree...it's definitely a secondary goal of these hearings.

The lady behind Sen. Franken's left shoulder (our right, for those directionally challenged) is pretty cute.

Franken on, citing attorneys refuting Sessions' documented assertion that he'd personally handled specific civil rights cases

to clarify, he's saying Sessions is lying, or has lied, regarding his record of accomplishment

I resemble that remark

Flake's on; wonder if his confirmation vote's at issue...?

Probably irrelevant to these hearings right now, but Sen. Flake is an interesting one to keep an eye on. Arizona is becoming a swing state and he's up for re-election in 2018 and will be primaried for daring to go against the racist tide of Trump.

This is how what's happening in Washington makes me feel these days:

But it's not even April.

is that elvish?

Goodness these protesters are moronic.

I don't think I'm going to watch the second half, so any snark from the hearings would be appreciated.

mozart, speak english dammit

BTW - Always liked your Philadelphia Stars logo. Bravo. Always wondered how the conflict between the USFL use and the Negro Leagues might have played out had the USFL not melted upon itself.

No, but it sure as hell feels like the cruelest month just about now.
