Should Jeff Sessions Resign?

[SMTA]

Really SMTA? So tell us. How many political positions have you held, or been elected to since you learned to be a hater? Better yet. Let us know when you became a BiLLIONAIRE, or ran for President? How easy it is for the stupid to make comments like yours, and not believe you sound as stupid as Chucky Schumer, or Nancy Pelosi.
Why...you even qualify to be a speaker for MAXIPAD Waters.
One more thing. Are you in much pain when you speak out of your ass?

I don't need to own a dog to know what dog shit looks and smells like.

Look at you desperately throwing around incorrect labels. Tsk, tsk.

Trump wants absolute loyalty, yet returns none - the mark of a spoiled child.
The hundreds of positions that have not been filled are due solely to Trump's childish demands.
His behavior is because of his silver spoon mentality, coupled with immaturity.

Yup.This has been common knowledge for some time.

I didn't see anything in there about these jobs being Trump's job in the WH to hire? I didn't see anything in there about childish demands or other things you brought up?

I thought it was common knowledge that this was 100% his job to hire all of these people? Seriously, he does sit at a table and sift through resumes and decide who gets gigs and who doesn't, correct? And it's his childish demands that these folks don't get the gigs, correct?

I don't see any of that at all in your article, but I just know you'll post it for me in the next one.

Trump needs to control himself better. Count to 10, practice meditation, smoke weed, whatever. And his ego is gargantuan.

But I would love to see how any one else would behave if they too were constantly and publicly attacked with innuendo and even outright lies. If there were calls for impeachment before they were even sworn in. There are folks even on this board who have gotten so steamed about words on this screen that they threatened to physically attack other members.

I highly doubt that in the face of those relentless attacks, any of us would be as restrained as we expect him to be. Point is, like Trump or hate him, it is very easy to criticize from our armchairs.

It looks like Sessions is going to be gone, Friday night news drop:

Uh Oh: Russian Ambassador Told Moscow He Discussed Trump Campaign Matters With Sessions

ALLAHPUNDITPosted at 8:01 pm on July 21, 2017

“I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign,” said Sessions in March when it was first revealed that he’d met with the Russian ambassador, Sergei Kislyak, last year. Those meetings were in my capacity as a senator, Sessions insisted, not as a campaign staffer for Donald Trump. The most he would admit to was that he didn’t recall ever discussing the campaign with any ambassador but that diplomats do tend to be “gossipy” about American politics. Uh huh.

And now here we are, with a bombshell leak to end the week. Question: Who ordered the Code Red on Jeff Sessions?

Uh oh: Russian ambassador told Moscow he discussed Trump campaign matters with Sessions

Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign.

One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of the April encounter — has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.” A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had “substantive” discussions on matters including Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration…

A former U.S. official who read the Kislyak reports said that the Russian ambassador reported speaking with Sessions about issues that were central to the campaign, including Trump’s positions on key policy matters of significance to Moscow.

Democrats have been flaying Sessions for months for supposedly perjuring himself by not disclosing his meetings with Kislayk. Now they’ve got larger caliber ammo, evidence that Sessions lied outright about what he and Kislyak discussed. Sessions is besieged on all sides — the left hates him, Trump admittedly regrets hiring him, and his own deputies at the DOJ will be left wondering if their boss lied to Congress under oath about the extent of his dialogue with Putin’s top lackey in the U.S. How does he stay in the job?

I wonder why you hate labelling so much, SMTA ? Is it because a label can succinctly quantify an agenda, a purposeful direction intended, that it can summarise the worth of what's being labelled ?

I note your criticism of Trump, of course. It doesn't surprise me .. also, of course.

On Trump, I'd offer this observation: Trump is doing his absolute damndest to deliver on what he promised in his various election addresses. He additionally has no time for those who, in the service of his Administration, do discredit to his Presidential direction.

I just see this as eminently reasonable. Trump promised strong leadership ... a 'can and will do' style, one which intended to 'drain the swamp'. Now, I daresay he's finding this to be a harder task than he expected. Nonetheless, in Trump, we don't have a quitter. We have someone utterly dedicated to defeat opposition and to expose it for what it is ... AND ... in a manner giving zero latitude to any fudging coming out of 'political correctness'.

The world could do with more politicians of his standing, in my view. The US is lucky to have him. But I'm sure, SMTA, you'll hate that assessment.

Am I right ?

SMTA. You should go back to your Pre-school classes, and see if your teacher will let you play nice with the other UNINFORMED, UNEDUCATED little rugrats.
Obviously, you have no idea about Sir Drummond (as I address him). He is far more Conservative than you, and your immature needs to use name calling at recess. And, as far as being a DOG IN THE FIGHT. He has far more important words to share here than you, as you HUNT FOR YOUR BONE.

All I see him do is cry and call people socialists for no reason, and jump to conclusions while steeped in hyperbole.
If he acts like an adult, he will be treated as such.
Fascinating that I was told that he calls everybody a socialist.
I treated him just like he treated me.
He should not have started by treating me with disrespect.
He reaped exactly what he had sown.

SMTA. You should be thankful you don't live in the UK. But your assumptions, and your denial about Drummond telling the TRUTH seems to have bothered you to a defensive mode, only shown so often by LIBERALS who follow Socialist values.

I don't know. Who did you have in mind ?

I suppose I could respond to that, with some fairness, by commenting that British people, likewise, have no reason to care about an American's view on what we spend on our Royal Family ... you posted a piece which suggested criticism of that issue.

But in any case ... what the US does, has worldwide repurcussions. People in other countries have a right to their views, and to express them.

Of course, it stands to reason that you'll get a better, more reasonable contribution, from a Conservative than a Socialist. Socialists from other parts of the world tend to be against the USA because it has the temerity to prove that a Capitalist system not only works, but works spectacularly well. Such an example proves, every day, that Socialism has no need to exist and plays no 'vital, irreplaceable role' in the happiness or wellbeing of humanity.

Indeed, I'd love to see Socialism universally discredited and become extinct in the world.

Sir Drummond. See how upset, insulted, offended, and angry they get when anyone dares to ACT JUST LIKE THEM? This member we are talking about claims to be smarter than everyone else. And, sadly. Constantly proves how being smarter (in his own mind) is no more convincing than a good Bowel Movement.

Nope. I've never done any such thing. Sorry to disappoint you.

If I judge anyone to be Socialist, I always do so from a basis which suggests the truth of it. I'm well aware that to accuse anyone of being a Socialist is a nasty thing to do, UNLESS, to do so is supportable. Therefore, I make sure that there's reason to, before contemplating such an assertion.

You say (& ridiculously so) ... that ...

I was told that he calls everybody a socialist

That's just bizarre, and more, this whole Board will know it's not true. I can easily give you a list of contributors here who are not only Conservative, but whom I respect BECAUSE they are. There are many good people here.

No. Give me reason to think I'm viewing Socialist thinking, and, I'll draw a conclusion from that reason as to the Socialist bona fides of the source of it. This is eminently reasonable. It would DEFY reason to REFUSE to learn from the evidence of my own eyes.

Of course ... a Socialist might not agree. Socialists do tend to only see what propaganda says they must see, and will refuse to recognise anything else if it suits them to. That is a part of what makes them so flawed.
