Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions Endorses Trump: "It Is Time To Make America Great Again"

[Slyhunter]

I wonder if these other politicians that are suddenly endorsing Trump really support him, or do they see the support of the voters behind him and are trying to ride his coat tails into the next election cycle for themselves.
right now its hard to tell, the only ones out there that I think are being 100% honest are Trump and Sanders.

Please don't fool yourself into thinking that ANY politician is honest. They all say what they need to say to advance their cause. When that falls in line with your cause it feels like truth. Trump and Sanders are speaking out against the current pro quo which addresses the frustrations that many Americans feel. If you really look at it, Trump is more full of shit and dishonest than the whole bunch combined.

Lets just say I dont agree. I think Trump is saying what he thinks. What he ends up doing might be different, it always is once someone gets in office and sees the things that the average person has no clue about.

He definitely says what he thinks and he says things that he probably shouldn't say. This whole "anti-Pc" thing has been playing very well for him. But if you really think that he is A devote Christian, pro-life, or going to stand up to Wall Street you are fooling yourself. Mark my words, he says he is a conservative now, if he wins the primary he will move to the moderate middle and if he wins the White House who the hell knows where he will be... It's a crap shoot

As long as he seals the border. Deports the Illegals. Wages war on Islam. Lowers the corporate tax rate so companies will repatriate their savings. And tariff countries that don't pay an American wage. I don't care if he's a Conservative or a Liberal.

Common Sense President.

I think I agree with you completely, however explain what your vision of waging war on Islam is. If its keeping them out of the U.S then I agree, if it means sending all our troops over to whoop their asses in sand land, I might have to disagree. I think its time the U.S pulls out of the active war role for a while. At least until the debt starts to come down. Naturally if Islam were to actively attack the U.S, then I would agree that a strong attack on them would be called for.

Taking the war to them in the desert would be a loosing proposition.
Evicting them from our country. Forbidding them access to us. Bombing the shit out of them when they get uppity isn't.

Trump will have an all-star team in the WH- you watch.

 

[eagle1462010]

Go Trump! I like his trade and anti-pc ideas! I am a economic liberal but these things do need to be said.

Are you Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde tonight?

Our trade deals have destroyed our middle class with the destruction of our unions making it even easlier to outsource. How can one be a liberal and support this anti-worker idiocy?

Jeff Sessions has been standing on that as well. He stood against the establishment on the TPP, and has stated repeatedly it's bad for this country..................

I agree.

 

[Avatar4321]

Donald Trump gets his first Senate endorsement — from Sen. Jeff Sessions First Christie now Sessions. Jeb Bush is not far behind as are Rubio and Kasich, Cruz is too stupid though. Heck even Luois Farrakhan has endorsed Trumps Muslin ban plan. Game over, Trumps in the door already.

Stupid Rubio, Kasich, Cruz... they are ******* themselves out of potential cabinet positions.

I guess Cruz will just have to settle for being President in January. Shame I'm sure he'd be a great cabinet member

A bunch of douche bag liberals heaped mud on him because they don't like anyone who would actually enforce the laws on the books. They Borked him. We all know how that works.

I note that you still haven't produced a single quote of him saying anything racist, even though you linked to material that you claim proves it.

Who do you think you're fooling?

You're funny. Retarded, but funny. As I recall, at least two Republicans also voted to reject him due to racist remarks. Here, read it for yourself:

Failed nomination to the district court

In 1986, Reagan nominated Sessions to be a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama.[5] Sessions's judicial nomination was recommended and actively backed by Republican Alabama Senator Jeremiah Denton.[6] A substantial majority of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which rates nominees to the federal bench, rated Sessions "qualified," with a minority voting that Sessions was "not qualified."[7]

At Sessions' confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, four Department of Justice lawyers who had worked with Sessions testified that he had made several racist statements. One of those lawyers, J. Gerald Hebert, testified that Sessions had referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as "un-American" and "Communist-inspired" because they "forced civil rights down the throats of people."[8]

Thomas Figures, a black Assistant U.S. Attorney, testified that Sessions said he thought the Klan was "OK until I found out they smoked pot." Sessions later said that the comment was not serious, but apologized for it.[9] Figures also testified that on one occasion, when the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division sent the office instructions to investigate a case that Sessions had tried to close, Figures and Sessions "had a very spirited discussion regarding how the Hodge case should then be handled; in the course of that argument, Mr. Sessions threw the file on a table, and remarked, 'I wish I could decline on all of them,'" by which Figures said Sessions meant civil rights cases generally. After becoming Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, Sessions was asked in an interview about his civil rights record as a U.S Attorney. He denied that he had not sufficiently pursued civil rights cases, saying that "when I was [a U.S. Attorney], I signed 10 pleadings attacking segregation or the remnants of segregation, where we as part of the Department of Justice, we sought desegregation remedies."[10]

Figures also said that Sessions had called him "boy."[5] He also testified that "Mr. Sessions admonished me to 'be careful what you say to white folks.'"[11]

Sessions responded to the testimony by denying the allegations, saying his remarks were taken out of context or meant in jest, and also stating that groups could be considered un-American when "they involve themselves in un-American positions" in foreign policy. Sessions said during testimony that he considered the Klan to be "a force for hatred and bigotry." In regards to the marijuana quote, Sessions said the comment was a joke but apologized.[9]

In response to a question from Joe Biden on whether he had called the NAACP and other civil rights organizations "un-American", Sessions replied "I'm often loose with my tongue. I may have said something about the NAACP being un-American or Communist, but I meant no harm by it."[7]

On June 5, 1986, the Committee voted 10–8 against recommending the nomination to the Senate floor, with Republican Senators Charles Mathias of Maryland and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania voting with the Democrats. It then split 9–9 on a vote to send Sessions' nomination to the Senate floor with no recommendation, this time with Specter in support. A majority was required for the nomination to proceed.[12] The pivotal votes against Sessions came from Democratic Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama. Although Heflin had previously backed Sessions, he began to oppose Sessions after hearing testimony, concluding that there were "reasonable doubts" over Sessions' ability to be "fair and impartial." The nomination was withdrawn on July 31, 1986.

Yep, no actual quotes of Sessions saying anything racist. All you have is partisan leftwing douches claiming he said something racist. That's the kind of thing they pulled on Clarence Thomas. It's the kind of sleazy dirt bag tricks Democrats are well known for.

Funny. I watched the Clarence Thomas hearings live. He's was and is a sleazebag. There were more women to testify against him - but when Thomas made his "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks" comment - Biden and Kennedy chickened out and didn't call them to testify. Hence, he was confirmed.

A bunch of douche bag liberals heaped mud on him because they don't like anyone who would actually enforce the laws on the books. They Borked him. We all know how that works.

I note that you still haven't produced a single quote of him saying anything racist, even though you linked to material that you claim proves it.

Who do you think you're fooling?

You're funny. Retarded, but funny. As I recall, at least two Republicans also voted to reject him due to racist remarks. Here, read it for yourself:

Failed nomination to the district court

In 1986, Reagan nominated Sessions to be a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama.[5] Sessions's judicial nomination was recommended and actively backed by Republican Alabama Senator Jeremiah Denton.[6] A substantial majority of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which rates nominees to the federal bench, rated Sessions "qualified," with a minority voting that Sessions was "not qualified."[7]

At Sessions' confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, four Department of Justice lawyers who had worked with Sessions testified that he had made several racist statements. One of those lawyers, J. Gerald Hebert, testified that Sessions had referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as "un-American" and "Communist-inspired" because they "forced civil rights down the throats of people."[8]

Thomas Figures, a black Assistant U.S. Attorney, testified that Sessions said he thought the Klan was "OK until I found out they smoked pot." Sessions later said that the comment was not serious, but apologized for it.[9] Figures also testified that on one occasion, when the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division sent the office instructions to investigate a case that Sessions had tried to close, Figures and Sessions "had a very spirited discussion regarding how the Hodge case should then be handled; in the course of that argument, Mr. Sessions threw the file on a table, and remarked, 'I wish I could decline on all of them,'" by which Figures said Sessions meant civil rights cases generally. After becoming Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, Sessions was asked in an interview about his civil rights record as a U.S Attorney. He denied that he had not sufficiently pursued civil rights cases, saying that "when I was [a U.S. Attorney], I signed 10 pleadings attacking segregation or the remnants of segregation, where we as part of the Department of Justice, we sought desegregation remedies."[10]

Figures also said that Sessions had called him "boy."[5] He also testified that "Mr. Sessions admonished me to 'be careful what you say to white folks.'"[11]

Sessions responded to the testimony by denying the allegations, saying his remarks were taken out of context or meant in jest, and also stating that groups could be considered un-American when "they involve themselves in un-American positions" in foreign policy. Sessions said during testimony that he considered the Klan to be "a force for hatred and bigotry." In regards to the marijuana quote, Sessions said the comment was a joke but apologized.[9]

In response to a question from Joe Biden on whether he had called the NAACP and other civil rights organizations "un-American", Sessions replied "I'm often loose with my tongue. I may have said something about the NAACP being un-American or Communist, but I meant no harm by it."[7]

On June 5, 1986, the Committee voted 10–8 against recommending the nomination to the Senate floor, with Republican Senators Charles Mathias of Maryland and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania voting with the Democrats. It then split 9–9 on a vote to send Sessions' nomination to the Senate floor with no recommendation, this time with Specter in support. A majority was required for the nomination to proceed.[12] The pivotal votes against Sessions came from Democratic Senator Howell Heflin of Alabama. Although Heflin had previously backed Sessions, he began to oppose Sessions after hearing testimony, concluding that there were "reasonable doubts" over Sessions' ability to be "fair and impartial." The nomination was withdrawn on July 31, 1986.

Yep, no actual quotes of Sessions saying anything racist. All you have is partisan leftwing douches claiming he said something racist. That's the kind of thing they pulled on Clarence Thomas. It's the kind of sleazy dirt bag tricks Democrats are well known for.

Funny. I watched the Clarence Thomas hearings live. He's was and is a sleazebag. There were more women to testify against him - but when Thomas made his "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks" comment - Biden and Kennedy chickened out and didn't call them to testify.

Biden and Kennedy were the two biggest douche bags in that hearing. They chickened out because they knew Thomas was going to show the public exactly what kind of reptiles they were.

Anita Hill showed us what kind of reptile Thomas was.

Bullshit. She obviously lied. She followed Thomas wherever he went. That's not the behavior of someone who was supposedly traumatized by sexual harassment. that's the behavior of a puppy dog with a crush on her hero, and he senate testimony is the theproduct of resentment.

These phony baseless hearsay accusations are the kind of sleaze the Democrats stock in trade. They can't produce any real evidence against people they consider to be their enemies, so they just make it up. Any man who has achieved any kind of eminence in life is bound to have accumulated a few enemies along the way. It's not very hard to dig up some of these loathsome spiteful losers and get them to throw mud on the target of their resentment

The victims have testified that he tried to rape them. That's hardly the same thing as claiming he made some remark about a pubic hair on a coke can.
