Senator Jeff Sessions--Trump's pick for Justice Department?

It just gets worse and worse.

Notwithstanding that he's already been proven to be a racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic demagogue, he hasn't been held accountable for these vile views. No, he has been and is being rewarded for them.

Oh yes, and he has a problem with marijuana too. In the NYT today was a quote from Senator Sessions from April 2016:
"Good people don't smoke marijuana."

I read that quote and thought. . . "Hmmm. Ok. So good people DO 'grab women by the pussy' or good people cheat others out of their hard earned money for a fake university? Or good people make fun of and ridicule the parents of a dead soldier? Oh yes, and I suppose the good people are the ones who come waving their Confederate flags, screaming at Muslims and anybody who isn't white and Christian."

WTF. And to think a MAJORITY of people in this country voted for the other candidate. This is FUCKED way beyond belief. I can IMAGINE the outrage had the pigs lost ONE election based on the electoral college. They would have done everything to delegitimize the winning candidate at any cost.

I hope there are still at least SOME brakes that can be applied, however ineffectual. This is going to get really ugly, and I'm a bit afraid for the first time.

Be give a pass. The GOP went after Clinton in a consensual sexual contact, but it is okay with them in sexual abuse.
