What kissing the VSG's ring will get you

Remember that TV ad Jeff Sessions ran when he first announced he was running to get his old Senate seat back? The one in which he explicitly mentioned working for the Trump agenda and donning a red MAGA cap at the end?

I have to say I frankly was astounded. After the humiliation he'd come in for during his time as attorney general, he was willing to genuflect like that?

A lot of good it did him:

3 years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville (

He has responded in a way that demonstrates some semblance of spine, but it comes a little late in the game:

 Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law. I did my duty & you're damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law & resulted in your exoneration. Your personal feelings don't dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do.

He's learning what so many before him have learned: that the Very Stable Genius's insistence on loyalty is a one-way proposition. It will not be reciprocated.
