    LOL, it would be funny if someone in Sessions office put that plaque together as a joke years ago...

    that snopes article didn't prove or disprove anything

    Sessions provides evidence, and snopes provides nothing to disprove that evidence.

    Snopes proves that the NAACP does not support the award.

    Not saying NAACP did not give him the award, but you cannot prove something did not happen. If NAACP does not have any record of something happening and there are no public record of it happening, how can they prove it did not happen? Just like you cannot prove God does not exist

    Actually, the Snopes article didn't prove or disprove anything, but interviewed those who you would imagine would know if such an award was given to Sessions and they had no knowledge of it. The physical plaque exists, which at this point is all the evidence available. But extremely odd Sessions would have no accompanying letter, or article reporting of the award, or anything else that proves the plaque wasn't ginned up by someone as a joke (or worse).

    And by the way, the NAACP still opposed his nomination. For statements and actions he made in the past. And while he was confirmed on a straight party vote, its only a footnote in what will be his, Trump's, and the republican party's legacy that Sessions will be responsible for.

    Another look at the meeting Michael Flynn had with Russian officials prior to the Trump inauguration. Potential scandal brewing?

    Why would Russia help Trump win the election I wonder, LOL. If this is proven true, **** will hit the fan in DC. Getting foreign power to help you win election (no matter how much actual help mattered) and promising to ease sanctions afterward. This is heading straight to supreme court, if proven true.

    Her brother is founder of Blackwater :eek: Why doesn't she get some Blackwater dudes to assassinate the guy. He did have a black beard (shady Middle-Eastern looking). . . .

    DeVos and her handler got stuffed by three protesters.

    I'm as against DeVos as anyone but I'd agree this isn't helpful.

    LOL, I don't believe Commodore even believes half the stuff he posts. Must be some hilarious right wing social media site or twitter feed that sends this stuff out for "conservatives" to post. Next week the same video will be posted saying "Left wing protesters block African American Ben Carson from entering a school". ;)

    Let's not pretend the right wouldn't do the same if they were passionate about something.

    If you oppose DeVos/Trump, this stuff doesn't help your cause, but you do you.

    The lefties have really fallen on hard times, having to resort to these types of tactics. Just look at the left's losses in recent elections - President, House, Senate, Governorships - the right has been killing the left, so it's not surprising you get some lefties acting out.

    Us "lefties" are more concerned about real issues of importance, like a private citizen discussing current and future sanctions with Russian government officials, and thus violating the Logan Act. But go ahead and post videos of five people protesting Betsy Devos... its your safe zone.

    I didn't tell those people to do that. What do you want from me?

    There is nothing "casual" about what Senator Warren has been doing. What is contemptible is you casually calling her contemptible for doing her job. You have no shame, sir.

    Well Trump's first nominee is about to go down. Devos came close but Andy Puzder apparently doesn't have the votes. Supposedly four Republicans have already decided to vote no with all 48 Democrats also planning on voting no. The Republican Caucus in the Senate has asked Trump to replace him.
