Brian Schatz @brianschatz (U.S Senator Hawaii)
Mr. Attorney General: You voted for that judge. And that island is called Oahu. It's my home. Have some respect.

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Hey Jeff Sessions, this #IslandinthePacific has been the 50th state for going on 58 years. And we won’t succumb to your dog whistle politics

1. our Attorney General y'all

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. It's Not Easy Being an Attorney General, by Jeff Sessions

Subtitled, "Especially When You Were Caught Lying Under Oath About Having Met With the Russian Ambassador on Numerous Occasions, Including Right Before the Republican National Convention When Donald Trump Curiously Changed the GOP Platform on Russian-Ukrainian Relations."

[JHan]

4. But her emails tho.

[KittyWampus]

10. Cant stand Sessions but at least he knew how to read the story book and show pictures to the kids...

Melania was shown reading to kids... heavy accent, no attempt to make the story engaging and she didn't show the pictures.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. And then there was Donald....who didn't bother to read to the kids at all.

At least Melania has something of an excuse.

I don't know if I've ever seen Donald ever attempt to read an actual book.

[Charles Bukowski]

34. Donald most definitely has an excuse.

He can't read.

[Thor_MN]

62. To be fair, children's story books are a bit advanced for Trump.

He wants more pictures and less words...

[pangaia]

29. Whatever the criticisms of Melania, and nobody has more than I do,

a "heavy accent" certainly is NOT one of them !!!!!!!!

I don't know. In my opinion, that is a really sad thing to see here.

[KittyWampus]

33. despite the accent... if you read what i actually wrote... she made no attempt to make

the story engaging or show the pictures. Which was my point. Comparing her to how Sessions did it.

If my point was about the accent... I would have pointed out Session's too.

It's amazing how some DU'ers can totally miss a point.

[pangaia]

40. I did read it and got your point, a very good one.

But I still think her accent has nothing to do with anything.

She speaks at least two languages. I think maybe more, not sure.

More than most Americans can claim.

[Chemisse]

51. We can't fault her for having a heavy accent. But,

If I did, I would work a lot harder to bring the words to life, with gestures, pictures, intonation, etc. That's what I do at work when I am teaching kids who have limited understanding of the English language.

[tavalon]

57. Excellent subtitle

I know it's not that much of a diss, but every time I see him, I think, "Keebler elf!". If I didn't know his soul was the color of black tar, I would actually find him cute in the way one finds a bunny cute.

[sheshe2]

37. He is dumber than dirt.

His festering racism must have eaten up all his brain cells.

[brush]

53. Does anybody in that effin admin know anything? The AG doesn't even know Hawaii is a state

Why that carrier probably passed by Hawaii on its way AWAY from North Korea.

How is it that everyone in the whole admin has reached their level of incompetence — "The Peter Principle" in action?

We as so screwed.

[RainCaster]

67. Sessions had no clue how the court system works either.

Just another Trumpanzee

[lastlib]

69. And apparently, he's never heard of "judicial review"!!?!

JeffBo, were you skipping class that day in Constitutional Law 101? If you're "amazed" by that, then you'd better send your law diploma back to the matchbook school.

[Blue_Tires]

70. Be proud, America...

[Me.]

2. Such Jackassery

[tazkcmo]

5. WTF

WTF does geographical location have to do with it? Personally, I'm amazed that a single celled organism in a DC swamp can be our AG.

[The Blue Flower]

6. Stupidity and gross ignorance

There is nothing between those ears.

[Freethinker65]

7. Wow. How UN-American of our nation's AG. Not the least surprised though

[Charles Bukowski]

8. Good call on the dog whistle politics.

Sessions is a bigoted piece of trash.

[NCTraveler]

9. We know well he has his own hierarchy when it comes to American citizens. nt.

[knightmaar]

11. Isn't Hawai'i part of Kenya?

Obama was born there, after all.

That's probably why he's confused.

[klook]

52. LOL, yes.

Hawaii needs to show us its birth certificate!

[brush]

54. Good one. Ol' Beauregard is probably confused.

[iluvtennis]

12. Sessions is a jackass with ears to match...GAH

[crazycatlady]

13. It is probably because of who was born there

[ancianita]

14. It's like living in the dark hearted Alabama Zone under George Wallace.

[maxsolomon]

15. Psst: THEY ALSO SENT US A PRESIDENT.

you fucking dipshit.

[Ilsa]

19. Oh no they dinnit!

Obama was born in Kenya, but his mom put a fake news birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper 50 years ago because, you know, ....

[IronLionZion]

21. Liberals are so crafty they plan out socialist plots 50 years in advance

Everyone knows what Americans look like.

On a related note, everyone knows what presidents look like and they don't look like Obama or Hillary.

[DeminPennswoods]

16. To be fair...

Hawaii wasn't a state during the Civil War or Reconstruction, the period in which Sessions lives.

[IndianaDave]

25. Beautiful analysis! And damned funny!

[dhill926]

32. Well done

[FuzzyRabbit]

36. I believe he lives in the time before the Civil War when

blacks knew their place as slaves.

[ProfessorPlum]

68. Lol. Excellent

[Fast Walker 52]

74. LOL-- perfect!

[ProfessorGAC]

82. Excellent!

Caught me by surprise!
Well played.

[displacedtexan]

17. There. Are. No. Words.

Can this really be happening?

How will this nightmare end? What will be left to salvage?

[mcar]

18. JeffBo is an idiot

[AtheistCrusader]

22. One judge sitting on a stupid little blue planet, sheesh, who does he think he is

[kairos12]

23. Sailors entombed on the Arizona don't deserve

the disrespect about their "island" location.

[Stuart G]

24. Well..Sessions joins Trump in the "dumbass stupid statement" club...and..

Sara is there too.......we can call them...."dumbass stupid trio"

[IndianaDave]

26. Hey - Show some respect. Sessions was a Founding Member!

[Stuart G]

27. You are correct, of course...Sessions was there, and

has been there for many years...Never been the brightest bulb..very dim.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. The drumpfians have no concept of the world.

Narrow-minded nincompoops one and all.

[oasis]

30. Judges from "flyover" country should have the only say-so.

And thus spake the Pea-headed Bumpkin.

[MedusaX]

31. Not nearly as amazed as we are that HE is the fucking Attorney General of the whole USA.

[NewRedDawn]

35. Little confederate putin publican shitstain

Fuck you & your confederacy Jeff Secessionist. I take a hundred more Hawaii's then your traitor state of Alabamer.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

38. The vagrants outside Ala Moana with southern accents beg to differ (no pun intended)

It is easy to forget Hawaii is part of the US, until you have a profane juggalo looking guy demanding money.

[nikibatts]

39. I am amazed that a man who lied to the Congress three times can be confirmed as AG.

I am even more amazed that a man like Trump could be elected President.

[Amaryllis]

43. He wasn't elected. It was a coup.

[BigOleDummy]

50. Yes indeed

I believe this with every ounce of my being. Someday a real rain will come.........

[AllaN01Bear]

41. send them to school give them the books and they ahem.

seriously wah wha wha. fail.

[progressoid]

42. That's amazingly idiotic.

[Astraea]

44. And I'm amazed that a pissant like you

can be attorney general of the United States

[DFW]

45. I'm amazed.....

I'm amazed that a sleazy, racist hack of an Attorney General with a cloud of suspicion and doubt over his integrity hasn't resigned and gone to hide on some "island in the Pacific." It must REALLY grate on Sessions to say the word "Hawai'i" out loud.

But then, it probably drives Sessions crazy that a place with splendid natural beauty and peaceful tranquility, a place that is the choice of hundreds of times as many visitors from around the world as Alabama, is part of the United States at all.

[irisblue]

46. Only battle on U.S. soil during WW 2 was on that #IslandinthePacific

The battles fought in Alabama were during a treasonous rebellion, and you all lost.

[Buns_of_Fire]

47. Many people in Hawaii probably wonder the same thing about Alabama. nt

[rurallib]

48. Better have Trump cancel that plan to bomb and invade Hawaii

might make him look stupid

[Hekate]

49. Even as a gradeschool kid awaiting the passage of Statehood I understood the subtext...

...of resistance in Congress: that place is just chockful of brown people.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, go take a flying leap. From my home state emerged a POTUS so awesome that yew, suh, are not fit to shine his shoes.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

60. 👍🏾

Tanks, ma'am. (Ok that was supposed to be my New Jersey accent. )

[Turbineguy]

55. Yeah, one day

you're just sitting there burning crosses and lynching people and the next thing you know, "Bam!" there's a new sate!

[Fritz Walter]

56. Hey! Look at what I found...

Jeff's Panda Ring.
And he's not even running for election (appointment)!
Wow!

[stopbush]

58. Sessions. An ignorant asshole and proud of it.

[onlyadream]

59. And I'm amazed a couple states got this turd of a president elected. Nt

[neeksgeek]

61. That's nothing compared to my amazement ...

That a right-wing, ignorant bigot from 1950s Alabama is Attorney General in 2017.

[peggysue2]

63. Sessions is shocked

that Hawaii is a state, not merely an 'island in the Pacific.'

I'm shocked that Jeff Sessions is Attorney General. Even more shocked that the Trumpster is in the WH.

My shock is much greater, possibly the greatest, most fantastic shock that ever was.

Life in Trumpworld, 2017.

Ugh.

[Cha]

64. That's us, jeff.. Our judge stopping your damn bigoted travel

order. The stupid reigns.

Love my Senators' replies.. Mahalo, bigtree

[ProfessorGAC]

83. Blow That Judge A Kiss For Me, Cha

You've got a way better chance of seeing that stand-up judge than I.

[Music Man]

65. Explains why so many Republicans think Obama wasn't born in the U.S.

[WinkyDink]

66. My Momma said, "RUN, Jeffy! RUN!" So Ah rayan, but Ah could not run to that island in the PaCIFIC.

[milestogo]

71. Well Hawaii WAS born in Kenya.

[yellowcanine]

72. Well jeffy they never seceded from the union.

There is that.

[BarbaRosa]

73. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[Warpy]

76. He's preserved in 1861 amber

during the first few heady days when the secessionists thought they'd be able to create their paradise on the backs of people labeled natural slaves in perpetuity, away from the meddling of a central government and immune to change.

Yes, this eejit missed the fact that an attack on our navy at Hawaii got us into a world war. He missed it when we made the islands our 50th state. And he's missed everything since then, believing Obama was an illegitimate president because he was born on a Pacific island outside the United States.

He is clearly unqualified to be anything but a deep south town character.

[47of74]

84. Yeah pretty much.

I've always said Sessions and his crew want to take us back to the 50s. The 1850s, that is.

[fescuerescue]

77. Wait till he finds out how WW II started

Does this nitwit even know American history?

[chelsea0011]

78. "Island in the Pacific"...you can't make this shit up...but hey.

I wonder how he feels about that Canadian snowball that gave us Palin?

[NastyRiffraff]

79. Understandable, really

Many Hawaiians don't like "Merkins" Can't be a state. And we all know those island people like to walk around nakkid.
(In case anyone needs it)

[NastyRiffraff]

80. Here's my hero, Adam Schiff:

Link to tweet

[YOHABLO]

81. God he is such dim wit .. Elmer Fudd Looney Toons dumb ass.

[rocktivity]

85. I once won a prize for being the first person who could produce "Hawaiian currency." eom

rocktivity

[yuiyoshida]

86. How Jeff Sessions views Hawaii

If you want to deport me to Hawaii, I can have my bags packed shortly.

[Greensix1]

87. Sessions is a product of Alabama education

I'm pretty amazed that Sessions, a product of an Alabama education, knew that Hawaii was an island. It's Obvious he didn't know it was a state. What a damned moron.
