    Glad Sen. Franken corrected, for the record, Sen. Cruz' and Sen. Sessions "alternative facts" and misrepresentations regarding Sen. Sessions non-existent work in support of civil rights cases.

      Resistance is futile ....and hilarious ....Franken's implied facts are irrelevant..... Democrats are irrelevant ....

      I WILL do as I please, I will be forgotten regardless, of what I do. You find resistance hilarious and my heart goes out to YOU. To laugh at those who are weak standing up against the forces of suppression. You allude yourself with laughter. No one should conform themselves to suppression. Don't let lies wrap you, and truth discourage you. We MUST stand or else the enemy wins. Fear is for the weak.

      Dear Al Franken:
      I am Al Franken plus one. Savant? Jeff Sessions is a savant. A very dark liar is a savant that says "God bless you." Savant's don't do the beast. Let us hear Christopher Hitchens' testimony on this even tho' he's not in the room, "They know, they know it." Jeff Sessions is not in anyway shape or form confused about no such thing as God and his wars. You may say "what the fuck," however, savant's do not say "what the fuck," they get it in a flash connected to an axiomatic scope...
      Healing Jeff...
      Again,
      the kingdom of heaven
      is like unto a merchant man,
      seeking goodly pearls (question everything-Soc):
      Who,
      when he had found one pearl of great price (2 in the field)
      went and sold all mighty God that he had (the 1 is taken),
      and bought it (the law of motion).
      -You? Jeff-savant is not confused.
      Matthew 13:45,46
      Jeff knew that before the earth was born. He's trapped. He couldn't even go on a proper date without the posthumous god-man on his shoulder.
      Merciful Al Franken: When Jeff rights the ship here, I sure would love to hear his "gather the wheat" notions concerning peace and our infra-structure.

      Ric-72 Mr sessions never denounced or acted like his attitude has changed over the years in fact said very little with no passion what so ever and repeated the same thing over .... he is not stupid and will not make his true feeling known . when some on like him acts passive it's for a reason ....

    • @lizab4208
      @lizab4208 7 років тому

      Ric-72 I agree. Mr sessions was rather passive in front of the committee and didn't say much and even less passion about it. he never denounced or even mentioned that he has changed his opinion on things through the years . in fact he said the same scripted sentences over. it's what he didn't say and rather passive attitude that bothers me. when people genuinely change their minds about things you will be able to tell .........he just said what everyone wanted to hear..... sessions will take our hopes away even trump supporters will eventually feel the the pain of trump and his cabinet...trump will betray them the most...... Obama was King trump will be a dictator

      Hello Monika32397! I hope you read my previous comment. I was wondering how enlightened someone has to be to be so angry on all their viewpoints? also, why do you think everyone else that doesn't share your viewpoint is a 'liberal.' please define what a leftist, or in that fact, what a purely 'right' society would look like. when has sen. cruz done anything that has advanced the forward causes of society without self aggrandizing his own status? I just want to know where you stand on these things, and if you can produce more than a one sentence insult.

    • @adrianb6183
      @adrianb6183 7 років тому

      Monika, you have to wonder "WHY" Cruz disappeared during Franken's statement. I'm guessing he was there and became so small he was able to slip out till Franken was almost done. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

    Yates said no on the basis of political reasons not legal, I think the AG should say not if it is unconstitutional. Also Yates never even argued on the bases of legal issue just on politics.

    Even if everything Franken said is 100% correct, he is so far off on a tangent of a tangent that he sounds loopy. I am sure what he said was personally important to him but I doubt anyone else cares.

      Carolyn Nigro this is the main reason why he's putting up a resistance, sometimes and I know you would do too, is to set the record straight so as to uphold ones name. and I know you do know the credibility of a name

    • @tomwalsh63
      @tomwalsh63 7 років тому

      but he came back to correct the record. I think that was the point because sessions did/ has not corrected the record. the timing of hebert (sp) coming to the hearing was important because he couldn't spend at least a day or so validating the facts over his career. it was to the best of his recollection apparently, but it was only a half-truth of his own memory.

      ok yeah I made that such a simple statement...if I did not know the extent of someone's work, like let's say I saw them clock in for three shifts at work, I would say, he clocked in to work. but if I found out that that employee sat around and watched television instead of working, I would revisit that statement. it wasn't as if I were telling a lie, I was saying to the extent of what I knew to occur. is that a more reasoned response?

    King Faisals had planned to come back and get me and we was going away to be with each other but George Wallace friends had me blinded with electric shocks reprogramming therapy because i could not speak English that my language of Islam and Russian was gibberish when faisal came to get me i could not remember him and did not recognize him and the family that i was sex trafficked and was set up with called me theres that had fake adoptions records and paperwork on
