This is what it's like to have an unreconstructed, Jim Crow, white supremacist as Attorney General, something which the Republican Senators, yes, including Susan Collins Republican of Maine, one of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions biggest backers. Sessions career in public life has been to push a semi-covert white supremacist agenda, so much so that he had to lie up some kind of record of support for equality during his most recent confirmation hearings and, despite being caught in his lie, Republicans made him Attorney General where he has pursued a white supremacist agenda to the extent he is able to, pushing on the envelope to extend those opportunities.
It's reached the stage where the racist, Sessions, on behalf of the racist Trump, throwing bones to the American Nazis in the form of almost a million Americans, brought here as young children, who have known no other home, many of whom are engaged in living thoroughly admirable and in many cases exemplary lives of service to others. As Keith Olbermann noted yesterday, one of them was Alonso Guillen, a DACA recipient who drowned as he went out in a boat to try to rescue others. Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions, the Nazis they harnessed to gain power have never done anything so meritorious in their lives.
If the Republican House and Senate does not overturn this decision and even one of those young people is deported by the action of Trump through the racist Jeff Sessions, yesterday, it deserves to die just as racism deserves to die, just as inequality deserves to die.
While I was thinking about what to say here, NPR had on a piece about Latino reaction to Trump, managing to work in Latinos who had supported Trump. NPR is another thing that deserves to die. So does the pseudo-lefty media, The Nation, In These Times, Democracy Now, that enabled the installation of Trump, so does the load of crap that is the Green Party. When you think of those post-DACA deportations and what they mean, remember they all had a hand in producing this travesty.
