Just when you think Jeff Sessions is our hero and is the only stopgap between Democracy and Trump authoritarianism, and that he realizes the Justice Department is not the president's personal goon squad designed to protect him, he does something to remind us that he's still a backward troglodyte racist elf. The Attorney General did... Continue Reading →
Rosenstein’s Head
Donald Trump continues to display signs of an authoritarian without any resistance from the Republicans. A few Republicans in Congress are more interested in protecting Trump than the Constitution. The GOP is less about policy and more about Trumpism. Trump idolizes Vladimir Putin. He expressed anger toward Michael Flynn in the earliest days of his... Continue Reading →
Billionaire Steals Pension From Career Public Servant
Donald Trump once asked Andrew McCabe who he voted for. I really hope he didn't vote for Trump. After Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, he called then interim director McCabe and yelled at him for allowing Comey to return home from California, where he was at the time of the firing, and allowing him...

California Shaming
If you don't know what song I'm spoofing here, get off my blog. Jeff Sessions went to California, held a press conference and said, "California, we have a problem." The Attorney General and Justice Department are suing the state of California over so-called sanctuary cities. This is a lawsuit with an audience of one, Donald... Continue Reading →
From Trump World To Wally World
Rachel Brand is not stupid. Brand is the Associate Attorney General and the third-ranking official in the Trump/Sessions Justice Department. That means, if Trump gets rid of Rod Rosenstein then Brand would take oversight of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. Dealing with the Special Counsel is one thing. Dealing with Donald Trump's public bullying,... Continue Reading →
Mellow Harshing Sessions
I don't like marijuana. A lot of people in my profession are afraid to admit they ever smoked the stuff in the past, just in case they're going to transport to 1992 and run for president. I don't care who knows it. I smoked it on a fairly frequent basis as a teen despite not... Continue Reading →
Cracker Justice
I miss the days of yonder when we had a Justice Department that would actually pursue justice, and not act like the legal team for cops who shoot black people and white people who have pretend grievances. After George W. Bush was reelected in 2004, many Republicans believed that would be the last election they... Continue Reading →
Hating Jeff’s Cookies
A flaming bag of poo may be the perfect metaphor for the Trump administration. Jeff Sessions wasn't just one of the first elected officials to endorse Donald Trump for president, he was the first United States Senator to back Trump. Sessions looked at Trump and saw narcissism, ignorance, stupidity, sexism, and racism and said, "that's... Continue Reading →
Laughable Justice
During the confirmation hearings for Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, his Senate colleague and fellow Alabaman Richard Shelby said that Sessions' history of “treating all Americans equally under the law is clear and well-documented.” Did you just laugh? Desiree Fairooz did. Fairooz was in attendance as a member of the Code Pink activists group to protest... Continue Reading →
What Would Nixon Do?
What would Nixon do? Why he'd do something like what Trump did, which is fire the attorney general. The "acting" attorney general in this case. Sally Yates was a holdover from the Obama administration. She was asked by the Trump administration to serve as acting attorney general to bridge the gap between Loretta Lynch and Trump's...
