If I remember correctly, the Trump supporters (and Trump) loved Jeff Sessions when he was out campaigning with Trump. Then when Trump turned on him for doing his job, they followed in lockstep.

How and when did the Alt-Left, fall in love with Jeff Sessions?
Don't be so dense.

"The Left" cares about the obstruction of the Mueller investigation that Trump is attempting.

You DO remember correctly.

Just like many of "the best people" they were all for, until they came under indictment, then they were discarded like yesterdays garbage, and trash talked as such.

I'm not even going to comment on such a ridiculous question. If you know anything about what is going on now, you would realize that Left being "in love" with Sessions is the most superficial (and erroneous) interpretation of what is happening. Really .... just try thinking it through.

But make no mistake, we’re fully aware that Sessions is still the same bigot that Correta Scott King warned us about, and nobody has lost sight of that.

In the event that Mueller’s investigation comes back clear, we will return to our regularly scheduled programming - disgust with Jeff Sessions, you can count on it.

Well said, ND. Sessions is still a bigot, and lefties still recognize that. That said, he made the right decision in recusing himself from the investigation. His firing is unjust, in that it’s Trump’s attempt to control the investigation.

This is not OK.

ETA: Alt-left isn’t a thing.

Yeah we know, far left radicalism is the norm now. No need to call it ALT. There are no moderate Dems left, just 60's leftover radicals and ideas that always fail.

Didn't you hear Cummings talk about him yesterday or whenever?

Yeah, he has a racist history but he hates Trump er... He was a good man.

I'll be blunt and honest with ya, I thought he was gonna turn out to be a good guy when he was so hated by Cummings and cazy cazy Democratz and cited as a racist, falsely of course.

But then he unfairly shut Trump's chance of having an operational DOJ on day one.

To be fair, why cannot Trump have a fair and lawful yet bipartisan DOJ head like Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch?

Then the little Mr Magoo starts going off on Marijuana laws and so on.

In that case, there's no moderate Republicans left, just over 60's leftover radicals with ideas that always fail.

How many more times do we have to prove that things like Trickle Down Economics never have worked and never will work or things like climate change are real?

The right lives in the past. The left tries to better the country for the future.
