The Big Picture: The People vs America - Featured Documentary

The American people’s lack of faith in and disillusionment with the US establishment is greater now than at any other point in history. The institutions that served US citizens are increasingly regarded as self-serving and the people increasingly divided, increasingly polarised along racial and economic lines.

What You Need To Know Today: Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III

In 1986 Jeff Sessions was the Attorney General of the state of Alabama and was soon to be nominated by President Ronald Reagan for a Federal Judgeship.  During those hearings he was accused of calling a black assistant Federal Prosecutor boy on numerous occasions as well as telling another assistant  black Federal Prosecutor that he should watch what he says around whites. This is the South.  Mr. Sessions during those confirmation hearings was asked about his support for the Klu Klux Klan: As is written testimony he been quoted as supporting the Klan until he was informed they smoked pot.   He was never confirmed as a Federal District judge for the Southern District of Alabama.

Mr. Sessions problems with race didn't end with his denial of a federal judgeship.

    But there are substantive reasons that Sessions, who was Alabama’s attorney general and is now a U.S. senator, is taking heat on civil rights. He supported gutting the Voting Rights Act in 2013. He has a record of blocking black judicial nominees. He unsuccessfully prosecuted black civil rights activists for voter fraud in 1985 ― including a former aide to Martin Luther King, Jr. A year later, he was rejected for a federal judgeship over allegations he called a black attorney “boy,” suggested a white lawyer working for black clients was a race traitor and referred to civil rights groups as “un-American” and trying to “force civil rights down the throats of people who were trying to put problems behind them.”

Senator Sessions has a real problem with civil rights where African Americans are involved

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, doubled down Tuesday in calling the Voting Rights Act “intrusive” and struggled to say how he would enforce the law going forward.

“It is intrusive. The Supreme Court on more than one occasion has described it legally as an intrusive act, because you’re only focused on a certain number of states,” Sessions said of the act in response to a question from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). “Normally when Congress passes law it applies to the whole country. So it’s a very unusual thing for a law to be passed that targets only a few states, but they had a factual basis."

Sessions added that the act “changed the whole course of history,” mainly in the South.

Detonator Donnie Or Donnie The Detonator And His Nuclear Weapons

In November of 1980 America elected Ronald Reagan as President a strident Cold Warrior.  For all of his bluster and anti Communist rhetoric he began  negotiations for the first START Treaty with the former Soviet Union with the aim of reducing the nuclear arms arsenal of both nations.   Two treaties were negotiated: The first coming into effect in 1991 during the Presidency of George H.W. Bush and the second in 1993 during the Clinton administration.   Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama continued working for the reduction of nuclear weapons.   Along comes Donald Trump who thinks that if America has nuclear weapons  surely they can be put to good use. Additionally Donnie Dunderhead has no idea what the Nuclear Triad is.   And now the fool has come full circle.

Why stop there? When the stupid flows it should flow not like a trickle but like a torrent.  Today he decided that what the world needs is another  arms race.

But on Friday’s Morning Joe, during an off-air conversation with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Trump daftly asserted — according to the MSNBC duo — “Let it be an arms race, we will outmatch them at every pass. And outlast them all.” Remarkably, the comment came following an appearance on Morning Joe with newly-named White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who allegedly phoned the President-elect while sitting with Brzezinski and Scarborough; when the phone was transferred over to Brzezinski, the above comment was reportedly made by Trump.


It's hard to believe or even fathom that Donald Trump will become commander of America's military on January 20, 2017.    Can the world survive with Donald Trump as commander in chief of America's armed forces?   It's beyond frightening that this man baby will have the ability to destroy  us all.
