Ready to watch some history? For the first time ever, a sitting U.S. senator, New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker, is going to testify against the nomination of another sitting U.S. senator, Alabama's Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. Then again, on this crazy news day, that may just barely make it into the top ten strangest happenings. But
Interesting article (regarding Session's hearing) on Vox: This is part of a well-documented phenomenon called “white fragility.” The problem is people are often so sensitive to any accusations of racial bias that they may not have the ability to look beyond how they feel about being called a racist and evaluate what might merit such accusations — such as, in Sessions’s case, his history opposing civil and voting rights protections.
Ha, he is my representative, but I don't usually bother telling him my opinion because I trust him to do the right thing. I save my efort for my R senators, futile as it seems.

I love John Lewis. I love Cory Booker. That is all. Except, take note, RWNJs---these are what REAL PATRIOTS sound like!
Not that he would know, having left all the child-raising to one wife or another.
Isn't "he did right by me and I got mine, so fuck everybody else" the unofficial Republican motto?

An appropriate location for the stars and bars.

It's a little like "He's good with children."
