Donald Trump just dunked on Jeff Sessions in the most vicious way possible

Just when you thought the bullying couldn't get any worse -- Trump has repeatedly said he would never and should never have hired Sessions, called him "beleaguered," "very weak" and "disgraceful," and reportedly refers to the former Alabama senator as "Mr. Magoo" -- today happened.

The scene: A FEMA briefing in which Trump and a number of his Cabinet officials were seated around a table. For most of the Cabinet officials, Trump was effusive in his praise of the job they were doing. And then there was Sessions.

Here's what Trump said about each of the Cabinet members; I saved Sessions until last because, well, you'll see.

-----

* Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you very much." (11 words)

Eleven words. And five of those 11 are either Sessions' name or his title!!! Trump was even capable of coming up with 91 nice words about Pruitt, his beyond embattled EPA administrator.
It's like if you are at a big company dinner and your boss praises everyone else and then turns to you and says: "Chris Cillizza. He works here. Chris Cillizza."

Ice cold.

Most other Cabinet members -- or, really, people -- would have quit long before this most devastating of embarrassments. Jeff Sessions isn't most people.

When tRump gets extracted from his present position... He will spill the beans on ALL the nasty shit done and smile like a cat... He will berate him but won't fire him b/c of all the stuff Sessions knows... Just my take, YMMV... Oh yes, the book.. He will write a tell all...

Fucking over minorities and housing infants and children like cattle gives him a big ol' Nazi "woody".

His ability and power to use the State to treat people he hates like total fucking shit, IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY FUCKING THING

It's the same as with Chief of Fucking Staff Kelly. Much more important that they implement KKK policies on a National level than pretend that they ever had any fucking integrity to start with.

after being ripped from the only security they've ever known--from the mothers. Somehow, I doubt they are crying for Sessions. We need him there, only to preserve Mueller's investigation, but it is Sophie's Choice.

Sessions needs his karmic "reward"--right after Trump is frog marched out.

that comes from the top. Whoever takes over for Beauregard would continue the same vicious mean policies toward both illegal immigrant AND legal asylum seekers.

Look back to his Senate speeches.

Might it not change if he were removed? Well, it surely won't with him there.

No indication that if Sessions quits that Miller would resign.

I don't know why you are arguing? We are in agreement that nothing would change, but I can NOT and WIll not defend Sessions. He is not the "just following orders innocent" on this horrendous policy. In fact, he is not only a racist, but this IS his shared policy.

And, thus the Sophie's Choice reference. Perhaps you don't know the reference.

Then they can do whatever they want. I don't think it's specifically in the Constitution, but those two words have buffaloed many a jurist on the federal bench.
