he was giving the reasoning behind his cruel policy to separate children from their parents.
This man is verging on insanity.

(12,504 posts)who can't believe himself that in a country of 320 million people he was picked as the best and most powerful law enforcement officer in the United States, at least in his mind anyway which is behind the sick grin on his ugly face. We live in pathetic times.

Agreed that Jeff Sessions is a (willfully) ignorant racist, though.

(16,254 posts)Something has happened in the last month or so. I don't recall what the last dust-up was about between our new dictator and Sessions, but ever since then, Sessions has been more visible and nasty. My guess is that Trump whispered one of his "sweet nothings" in his ear...the mob-type sweet nothing that gets your attention...and Sessions has been pretty malleable ever since.

I think its because they know how much they are lying and getting with it and its a make hay while the sun shines giddiness. Sessions knows that quoting the Bible for legal policy/decisions is not appropriate, so he laughs in your face at what hes getting away with.
Truly disgusting people through and through.

(16,954 posts)Two decades ago Sessions barely survived politically, and now he can openly revel in his bigotry and racism. Republicans are an evil bridge to the past. Hard to imagine what else they have in store for us.
Edit: AM Joy just had a great panel on this.

Its probably a testament to Trumps mental illness that he is way beyond this stage and into full on delusion. He just goes right over his tells from lie to lie to lie.
Bunch of really sick creepy people.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)They kind of get off on getting over on people and cant help themselves. Often its a tiny inappropriate smile- Sessions is one of the more obvious ones. I have to think its becasue he knows he really will not be challenged.
For what its worth I dont think Trump believes a word he says, he just doesnt care if he can steam roller over others. Its gross.

(9,989 posts)Someone who I had the displeasure of supervising had one of those fucking smirks....It came out when he'd connived a way out of whatever shit he'd gotten into. The fact that he'd connived his way into said shit - or not - seemed to matter little.

(9,989 posts)A stiff drink or honest piece of tail would kill them. But visiting exquisite cruelty on children as "the right thing" gets them off like bad cocaine.
shanny
(6,709 posts)That implies that he cannot be held accountable. He is weak and vicious and a disgrace to a civilized nation.
FoxNewsSucks
(10,434 posts)he's just evil, cruel and sadistic. On top of being racist.
Republicons seem to genuinely enjoy causing others to suffer.

(17,986 posts)That makes his ignorant misquoting one verse in the Bible, that was also used to defend slavery makes him so Mapuche more despicable!
I Have not wanted to slap a smirk off a face so bad, ever!
GoCubsGo
(32,086 posts)Which is why Trump will never fire him. And, why he'll tolerate Trump's abuse. He'll take Trump's abuse because Trump lets him behave like the racist sack of shit that he is. In fact, Spanky encourages that vile behavior. Talk about a warped relationship.

lark
(23,121 posts)and their mothers crying hysterically. They don't even track the children and don't reunite them with the parents. 4 parents have reported waiting 4 months and not being able to get their children back, even though they left America. The kids don't know where they are and the parents aren't being told and the families are still separated. That's 4 reported, how many hundreds or thousands is this really affecting. Putting the children and babes in tents during the summer in TX is evil torture. the babies and children committed no crime but Sessions loves to hurt others and is totally giddy about the pain he's causing. He and his boss are pure evil. I am so ashamed of them and how they are running our country into the ground in every way possible.

(6,344 posts)I was thinking he was embarrassed for what he was saying. Self-embarrassment.
He knew how stupid it was.
I wonder if the RW religious zealots were nodding in agreement?

He's inwardly ugly, horrifying, but definetley sane.
I want an investigative reporter to look deeply into his past, since adolescence. I think he's Klan. They too, apart from inflicting hate, have this primitive Yahweh Christian righteousness.

Keep in mind too that he's not accustomed to speaking without his hood.

(5,442 posts)Multiply it exponentially, and that is what he looked like, dancing on his toes, as he said the children would be separated from their parents while he prosecuted each and every one of them for daring to approach the US border.

Trump dusted off the old white supremacist guard to keep his real promise - Make America WHITE Again - to his base.
