Jeff Sessions is a lying POS

But, you already knew that.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Thursday that the Trump administration "never really intended" to separate migrant children from their parents when he issued its aggressive crackdown on immigration prosecutions.

In an interview with CBN News released Thursday, Sessions said he had not anticipated the massive public backlash from the administration's “zero tolerance” immigration policy that he announced in April.

I'm sure he didn't. They think everybody but a few bleeding heart liberals is as hateful and mean-spirited as they are.

“It hasn’t been good and the American people don’t like the idea that we are separating families,” Sessions told CBN's David Brody. “We never really intended to do that. What we intended to do, was to make sure that adults who bring children into the country are charged with the crime they have committed.”

Right. They never really intended to do that. They made a specific policy to do it, and they're still doing it. But they never really intended to. And they don't even know where the kids are.

When he announced the policy's implementation, Sessions noted it would likely deter migrants from trying to cross into the country.

"If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child may be separated from you as required by law,” Sessions said in May.

But they never really intended to do it.

A top Trump official at the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed Tuesday that the government expected the policy to act as a deterrent.

But they never really intended to do it.

“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order,” Sessions said. “Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.”

But Sessions told CBN that he didn’t think his biblical position was “extreme."

“I directed it not to say that religion requires these laws on immigration,” Sessions said. “I just simply said to my Christian friends, you know the United States has laws and I believe that Paul was clear in Romans that we should try to follow the laws of government of which we are a part.”

And family separation has never been a law. At least not yet. But don't fool yourselves like I did. I thought I was being too panicky and harboring dread over the direction our country was going. After every time people of good conscience got up to protest some Nazi action of the Trump administration, I soothed my nerves with the false belief that the "real" haters were fewer in number than they seemed because they were loud.  Even though it was obviously not true, because the Orange Nazi was elected.  Every time this fascist, hateful, regime makes another move forward they become more and more entrenched. One day, they'll be rooted, and we'll be the proverbial boiled frog.

“We’re going to have strong, very strong borders, but we’re going to keep the families together,” Trump said at the signing “I didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated.”

But they never really intended to do it.

Time to listen to Sarah Kendzior, authority on autocratic regimes, because we weren't paying attention to what she was saying before Trump got elected.

But Sarah doesn't have all bad news...





I could let that soothe my panick and dread.
