Sort of bewildering to see early right-wing Trump supporters not understand that the big man values execution & loyalty over ideology.

Sessions blinked when it could not have mattered more. He's personally responsible for destroying Trump's first 2 years.

If Sessions had sacked up like a man, and told everyone in the FBI pushing the phoney-baloney Russia hoax to eat shit, Trump's first 2 years would have been *radically* different. Instead, he ran for his cuck shed and let the Dems, who controlled ZERO branches, run the show.

There is nothing Paul Ryan or Trey Gowdy could have done if Sessions told everyone to fuck off. Russia would have been out of the news in 2-4 weeks tops. Instead, Trump couldn't even staff his admission because Jeff Sessions was a weak-willed pussy.

Michael Flynn is personally broken because of Jeff Sessions. His finances and life are ruined. Roger Stone got railroaded over bullshit. Trump could never play FP with a full hand because his enemies propagandized hostility with Russia.

The one man on Trump's team who could have stopped the absolute shitshow of his first two years was Jeff Sessions. He didn't. And he didn't even tell Trump about it until the deed was done. It doesn't matter if it was incompetence or malice. Trump values results.

You know what would have been even more effective on immigration than a Senator Sessions? A Trump administration not crippled by investigations and fishing expeditions.

We basically got 6 months of the actual presidency, and without the House, because of Jeff Cuckshed Sessions.

Trump couldn't hire staff because Mueller would immediately subpoena them and break them with legal fees, just from the investigation itself. Anyone who had been to Russia, spoken to a Russian, or played the red team in C&C was immediately disqualified.

The degree to which the Trump admin has been a disappointment, at least in the admin itself, is almost entirely due to Jeff Sessions' decision to recuse out of panic/stupidity/false propriety. Choosing Sessions as AG was Trump's biggest, most momentous mistake.

If anything, Sessions is a sterling example of why choosing ideology over execution & loyalty is a dumb move 100% of the time. You need people who will sniff out rats and have your back in a fight. Jared "prison reform lol" Kushner fits that description better than Jeff Sessions.

Remember when wignats crapped their panties over Syrian pavement? A big part of that was Sessions. Trump's early goal of normalizing with Russia was scuttled by the Collusion Hoax. Thanks to Sleepy Jeff, Trump had to walk a fine line, prove he wasn't "Putin's puppet"...

...because his own voters started to have their doubts thanks to how relentlessly Mueller ground onward in that first year or so. Everything in this admin was 1000x more difficult because Jeff Sessions is a weak, stupid, loser. Doesn't matter what your ideals are if you're weak.

So good-bye and good riddance, Jeff Sessions. You lost to a moderate-leaning football coach because you built for yourself a reputation as a weak dork who crumples when things get tough and leaves the people who need you hanging.
