If you are a black man or woman, or of Hispanic decent, Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions believes that you should not be a sheriff in any county in America. These were part of his remarks made at the National Sheriff’s Association’s winter meeting in Washington, D.C.
“The office of Sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement. We must never erode this historic office.”
Naturally Sessions is ignoring the reality that white terrorism is the most serious threat to our nation’s people, and it is growing. Between 2008 and 2016, the FBI recorded less than 20 attacks by Muslim terrorists. The same was true for those considered ‘left wing terrorists.’ Nearly 80 were committed by those who call themselves ‘right wing.’
To this day there has been no motive for the loss of 58 lives at a concert in Las Vegas last summer, but we know that he was a 64-year-old white man.
Sessions was the worst possible choice for the critical position of Attorney General. I do understand why he and Steve Bannon were his first choices after the election; white supremacists must stick together.
Trump has reversed nearly every change in the judicial system ordered by President Obama which made our laws fair for all Americans. Sessions has increased penalties for minor crimes which are statistically committed more frequently by African Americans. Sessions also ended the early release program for less serious crimes including possession of marijuana.
There is little difference between Trump, Bannon, Miller, Kelly, Gorka, and Sessions. The only way to tell them apart is that Trump is orange, and Sessions is a Keebler elf. And one other thing; Trump and Sessions suffer from mental incompetence which forces them to constantly make fools of themselves.
