I'm getting Jeff Sessions television ads for Attorney General, as in call your Senator and tell him to vote to confirm Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Are you? I don't ever remember commercials for cabinet members before. Maybe I just missed them? Have there been other commercials for other cabinet members- Trump's or other Presidents? I highly doubt this is targeted marketing in my area. I live in a deep red state and feel certain both Republican Senators will vote to confirm Sessions, so the commercial is probably wasted money in my area. That's why it is so fascinating to me. Is Sessions' confirmation in doubt enough to spur commercials? From what I have seen, he's expected to be confirmed. Is that not so? Here is a link to the commercial, if you want to see it -https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AhX1/45committee-champion Here's the PAC paying for it- http://45committee.com Do any forum members know more about the ad, where it's being shown, or the PAC (other than what little is on their website?) Is it a nationwide ad?
Yup, I've seen the "confirm Sessions" commercial as well. I also found some info on who is behind it, where it's being shown etc. A bit eerie, I don't recall TV ads for cabinet nominees in the past, if we see one for Mnuchin this could mean the start of a new trend - whereby the "money" truly runs things even more than thought...... http://investigations.blog.ajc.com/...hts-champion-super-pac-says-jeff-sessions-is/
Thanks for the link. So, TD Ameritrade and casinos want Sessions as AG? Interesting! This is just the oddest thing to me- advertising for cabinet confirmation.
Jeff Sessions is a confederate dinosaur, whose moral compass is severely broken. He should never be the AG, and if only one of Trump's nominees is to be stopped, this madman should be stopped.
these may very well be ads targeted at areas most amenable to the message. here in california, a region famous for its ultra-liberal bent, i haven't seen ads for these cabinet nominees, but against them and asking voters to contact their representatives.
I thought they might be targeted, but it's interesting to know that it is going both ways. Is there an online link to any of those ads? I'd like to look at them. Also, do you remember which PAC or group was responsible for them?
sorry, i'm one of those folks that usually allow all ads to just pass by unnoticed, though i imagine you could google it and find them if you tried. the only reason i even noticed them at all was that i found them such a laughable example of the rabid partisanship we are presently laboring under.
The Dems will delay a vote on him under the end of the month. Haven't seen any ads. At least there are fewer Marxists at the DOJ, with Lynch and the other Obama plants gone.
NOBODY should vote for this disgusting man. He is literally human garbage. No Republican or Democrat should sully themselves by voting in favor.
Total bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Jeff Sessions was crucial in prosecuting the Klan and forcing school desegregation in Alabama. I'm against his civil forfeiture views, but other than that he's a good candidate who knows the job he needs to do. He has experience as a U.S. Attorney and as a state Attorney General. - - - Updated - - - What do you base the above on? the testimony by the now-convicted felon who worked for him in the 1970s?
ANYBODY who says "good people don't smoke marijuana" is an evil piece of garbage. A dumb one at that too. How about those parents moving from the east coast to Colorado to treat their cancer ridden children with cannabis oil? They're BAD people? He is unfit to serve as AG with a mind like that.
Do you mean the epileptic kids who are being treated with Charlotte's web, the almost-zero THC cannabis oil? Are they smoking that? I thought they ingested the oil in food? He's right about the smoking it.
Yes, exactly. Some children vape it, some eat it, etc. Sessions is a moron who couldn't tell you what vaping is. No, he's not. Nice try defending his idiocy.
If you are correct than all Democrats would vote him since the voted for Nancy Pelosi and repeatedly for Harry Reid. They want "human garbage" in charge.
Ok, you have given your reason for you particularly rabid ranting on this topic. Most people mellow out on marijuana. Then again paranoia is a common side effect.
What do you mean by that? Are you actually saying cannabis does NOT have medical value? - - - Updated - - - I don't believe they ever denied children their medicine. - - - Updated - - - Excuse me, NOTHING paranoid about a cannabis arrest in this country every 40 seconds. Legalize and be done with it.
Since it is your claim, show the history of Pelosi and Reid voting to legalize marijuana. Or Obama pursuing it? Or his AG advising the federal law will never be enforced. Once again no integrity in your message. Just searching for any reason you can find or make up to rant.
he is going to be the attorney general, DONE. The Dems can whine another day or two if it wets their diapers Elections have consequences baahhwwaaahhhhh
Obama was horrible on this issue, but he allowed states to carry on. Sessions, the backwards confederate ignoramus, will prosecute states and try to eradicate what the people voted for. That is a fact. It's not my fault you don't care, that makes you a bad person. - - - Updated - - - You proud that the sick war on drugs will continue?
What if Jeff Sessions and Ashley Judd had a love child and it was half-black? I don't have a punchline yet but check back later sometimes I surprise people.
Yes, that is indeed what I am saying. Any medicinal value it may have is eclipsed by safer and more effective drugs. Hear! Hear! But don't pretend pot is going to cure cancer.
These are unusual times- we have organized political assassination movements being mounted by the left towards anything Trump does. If you watch any of the confirmation hearings, you see every democrat not bothering to ask qualification questions- but launching a witch hunt from their first words. The margin in the senate is close, and the people on the left are working as hard as possible to intimidate any republicans they can into voting no. These ads are unprecedented, but then so are the left side tantrums and disregard for anything other than their own desires.
