1. "dem senators" - I think it was only one - Manchin.

[onenote]

2. How were the Democrat senators going to stop his confirmation?

[George II]

7. "Democrat" senators? Did you REALLY say that???????

[wishstar]

3. Let's be clear - only one Democrat voted to confirm Sessions. Blame is on Republicans

[UTUSN]

4. Well, O.K., I take back my ill-informed blanket Dem thing. Thanks.

[Cha]

8. You should edit your OP.. our Dems are Fighting

for us.. with few exceptions.

[UTUSN]

9. I don't run from my errors. Larger point is my frustration. Won't delete thread, either.

[Cha]

10. Not asking you to delete thread or "run from errors" ..

only to correct them.

[UTUSN]

11. See my post #4.

, ol' pal

5. He's going to fuck up the marijuana movement in the states

States rights are sovereign, until the issue changes. The man thinks weed is the devil.

Alcohol is a greater devil, and I bet he drinks a lot of it.

6. He's despicable.

14. Are we supposed to see this and turn red and shake our fists at all the Dem senators

who voted for rat-ass Sessions, imaging Democrats as backbone-less, morally bankrupt CENTRISTS who ruin everything? Because why else would senators be plural? The first comment pretty much nipped that in the bud.

[UTUSN]

15. Or, as these things go, we're doomed to ignore thread development & keep flogging the dead horse.

[betsuni]

16. Edit the title.

I guess you're anti-editing.

[bettyellen]

17. RW bullshit and you fell for it? WTF.

[UTUSN]

18. I'm disappointed to find you joining into a flamefest

because of my fond memories of our having sharing a couple of live action threads of events. Since I’m answering every post before closing this out, I’ll say to yours that “RW” and “fell for it” have nothing to do with this thread o’mine or me in anything.

Instead, I typed off the top of my frustration, emotionally, from: 1) Lingering upset over the election results; 2) the shorthand that the Senate as a whole participates in installing the nominees; 3) lingering disgust over the fawning obsequiousness of many (yes, mostly Repuke) senators at the hearings; and most pertinently here, 4) yes, I was narrow in specifying SESSIONS here where I was corrected about how many Dems voted for him, but my fuzzy reference was to the general cases of additional Dems who voted for other of the repulsive nominees.

So, it was an instance of my occasional sloppiness, not what you ascribed it to, later in the thread after enough explanation was available to you.

19. Below the starry line is the full O.P., not run from, before I self-delete the thread

so as to liberate us for a fresh, clean morning. Flames take no prisoners and no satisfaction but their own consumption. And I’m impressed yet again at the high number of rubber-necking in threads like this, while my better efforts sink without an encouraging word. So the entirety of the O.P. is (wow, all the drama over a single line, or even a single letter “s”) :

********************
Special thanks to our Senate, especially our Dem senators, for inflicting rat-ass SESSIONS on us
