Beauregard Sessions Does the Grovel and Beg

by Pa Rock

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III, who served for two decades as a quasi-literate, unreconstructed racist U.S. Senator from Alabama, was an early endorser of Donald Trump's vanity run for President in 2016, and due to that prophetic endorsement, Trump went on to name Sessions as his first Attorney General.   Sessions had not been the head of the Justice Department for many months when he earned Trump's bitter scorn for recusing himself from investigations into Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. elections.  Trump considered Session's recusal to have been a personal betrayal - and he never got over it.  On multiple occasions Trump referred to his appointment of Sessions as Attorney General as the "biggest mistake" of his first term.

Donald Trump is not a man to suffer disappointment quietly.  Over the next couple of years - after Session's recusal - Trump often berated and ridiculed Sessions publicly, and Sessions, with a strong desire to stay near the center of the nation's power - and draw a paycheck - kept quiet and contrite as his boss heaped on the abuse.  He would not quit, even with Trump holding the door open and goading him to leave.

But by last November Donald Trump had all of Jeff Sessions that he could stand.  It was expected that the Mueller report would soon be released, and Trump wanted someone in the Attorney General's office who could forcefully take control of the situation and manage the fallout - and Little Beauregard was not the man for the job.  Trump told Sessions to resign, and the good soldier quietly complied.

Jeff Sessions went back to Alabama, and now brags that he did not attack Trump after his humiliating dismissal.  He points out that he did not write a tell-all book about his experiences with the Trump administration, and he did not go on political talk shows to trash Trump.  He remained a good and faithful soldier to his Orange Generalissimo.

Jeff Sessions has recently announced that he is running for his old U.S. Senate seat in Alabama.  He will be facing some formidable opposition in the Republican primary.  There are currently seven other candidates on the ballot, at least three of whom could conceivably beat Sessions in the race for the nomination.  It promises to be a real barnburner.

Sessions has told political moderators as recently as yesterday that he would like to have Trump's endorsement and that he plans on working for that endorsement, though he also says that he knows Trump traditionally does not endorse during primaries.  Trump for his part was referring to Jeff Sessions as an "embarrassment" and a "disaster" just weeks ago, and also said that he would "publicly attack" Sessions if he ran for his old Senate seat.

Sessions parried by praising Trump for doing a "great job" as president.

That sad sound you hear is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III, sucking the water out of Donald Trump's big golden toilet as he struggles to reclaim his manhood one long pull at a time.  Amazingly, Jeff Sessions has sunk to such a level that he would no longer make an acceptable U.S. Senator - even as a Republican!

Maybe Roy Moore can help him get to his feet.
