WTF ... why are there commercials for Jeff Sessions runing in my state?!?

[Greywing]

I'm in Denver CO ... anyone else seeing these? I AM OUTRAGED! "he's been a champion for civil rights" What effing bullshit! When the hell are AG of the United States selected by campaign commercials?

[dogman]

1. The last few days in Illinois.

Probably targeting Dem Senators.

[Generator]

2. Evil has the cash

We have the morality and the smarts. I hope it's worth something.

[Greywing]

9. Says call your senator to tell them to confirm ... I will be calling

Cory Gardner's (R - and who I totally despise) and Michael Bennet's (D - just re-elected) offices tomorrow, and not being very polite telling them what I think they should do and warn them I'll be watching.

[Generator]

16. Good for you

Mine are already not going to. Merkely and Wyden have been awesome. I wish I could clone them.

[trof]

19. tell them to confirm???

[procon]

3. I'm seeing them in California.

Bunch of lies, followed by more lies to paint him up as the best civil rights leader since MLK.

[shenmue]

4. Sessions sucks

[Adsos Letter]

13. I was just thinking about the potential for harm to California from a Sessions appointment.

Given the potential for an economic backlash from the Feds (already in motion with the whole withholding of Federal grant monies over Sanctuary Cities) I think Sessions is likely to initiate a very draconian clampdown on both medical and recreational Marijuana. This would be a blow to a potentially robust revenue generator set to take effect after the passing of Prop. 64.

I am especially concerned that this anti-pot zealot could make heavy handed use of asset forfeiture in prosecuting even minor drug offenses in California. The money for that wall has to come from somewhere...

[Calculating]

37. And if that happens

Are people going to LITERALLY fight back and resit, or just whine about it? We're potentially up against LITERAL tyranny here. Writing angry posts online isn't gonna get the job done.

[irisblue]

5. are either of your senators on his committee?

[wordpix]

6. Donnie loves his campaigning & the lies continue

[myrna minx]

7. Why don't the Dems run ads? We have all of the creative folks, why aren't the Dems running

a blitz of ads? They should be preemptively coming out for Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and not *waiting*for the slaughter to come to us.

[LeftInTX]

12. Exactly

Or they could be opposing Jeff Sessions

[RKP5637]

8. Been seeing them too, was a WTF. n/t

[DLevine]

10. I've seen them here in PA.

Champion of civil rights my ass.

[cornball 24]

20. Ditto!

[uponit7771]

11. Seeing them in TX... his numbers must be shit

[riverwalker]

14. Minnesota too

Our Senators Klobochar and Franken. No idea why the ads are running here.

[TrekLuver]

15. Yup saw it in Queens NY yesterday and I was thoroughly disgusted.

[MagickMuffin]

17. Question: Who is paying for these ads?

I haven't seen them, but there should be a who is paying for the ad at the end of the campaign commercial!

[Greywing]

22. 45Committee - rightwingwatch says there a pro trump group (duh)

[MelissaB]

18. I'm seeing them in Kentucky.

Unreal isn't it?

[trof]

21. Here ya go:

23. It is just outrageous that they use a photo of him standing beside John Lewis

I am OBVIOUSLY extremely ANGRY at what is going on. I marched on Saturday and am going full blown activist!

I can't believe most of the Democrats in Washington age acting like WEENIES!

[SamKnause]

24. Running in Ohio as well.

[msongs]

25. sad to say dems and their allies can't be bothered doing such things.

[rzemanfl]

26. Florida too. n/t

[oldtime dfl_er]

27. we need to contact moveon

and get them to put up some counter ads PRONTO.

I'm in Washington State, and I don't watch tv so I don't know if they're wasting money running those ads here but the whole thing is DESPICABLE. This administration thinks it's in a reality TV show. Trump-Bannon-Burnett (Mark Burnett) attempting to control the media in all ways possible.

[JDC]

28. Saw them in New Hampshire

[democrank]

29. Running here in Vermont as well.

They're hard to watch.

[yeoman6987]

30. He's nominated for a federal position

So running in 50 states is probable.

[Greywing]

31. He is a nominee for AG ... why the hell should any commercial advertising be on the air

Totally inappropriate! An AG should not campaigning or be bought and paid for by any interest group. Where the hell is the outrage?

[applegrove]

32. I saw one on CNN in canada. That is pretty out of the ordinary. Obviously money

is no object to the GOP.

[dlk]

33. They're Running in Houston, TX, Too

Apparently, Republicans are concerned about Democrats' political activism and they are trying to rally their supporters. The ads try to whitewash Sessions racism & bigotry.

[RandiFan1290]

34. Imagine if the Democrats put up as much of a fight

for their Supreme Court pick?


Now trump gets to pick and most of the Dems will vote to approve.

[FiveGoodMen]

35. Imagine if the Dems put up a fight. No kidding!

All I've seen from the D party (for decades) is...

"Someone just did or said something awful. Give us money."

[HAB911]

36. Florida too.......n/t

[rainbow4321]

38. Dallas, TX cable news channels are running them, also....

Was wondering why the hell they were being shown...
