Why's he coming to Moakley?

Like the one he gave in Portland, OR.

Is this your new news-gathering technique? "Probably [Adam makes stuff up]."

Found this on Boston.com:

BOSTON (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions is heading to Boston to talk to law enforcement officials about transnational organized crime.

Sessions is expected to give remarks Thursday at the U.S. attorney’s office in the federal courthouse in Boston.

Targeting transnational gangs such as MS-13 has been a priority for Republican President Donald Trump’s administration. Sessions has called MS-13 and similar groups “one of the gravest threats to American safety.”

He goes a bit beyond just saying MS-13 is a problem; he's accusing sanctuary cities, like Boston, of helping MS-13.

This is, of course, despite evidence that, in fact, sanctuary cities have a role in fighting MS-13 because the gang's victims are more inclined to help investigations into it when they know the police won't slam them in the lockup to await ICE.

In fact, that strategy's worked pretty well right here in Boston and the suburbs where MS-13 operates - scroll down the MS-13 page here. Police in Boston, Chelsea, etc., were active participants in the crackdown.

Perfect? Hardly, but then it took the feds decades to basically wipe out the Mafia in Boston, too (and not without some controversy - as you'll recall, the FBI literally let Whitey Bulger get away with murder).

Sessions has called MS-13 and similar groups “one of the gravest threats to American safety.”

After foreign interference in our elections on behalf of oligarchy, creeping police state fascism, climate change hazards, pollution killing thousands yearly, etc.

Yeah. Sure.

Here's something to ask Sessions if you can: why did Oleg Derispaska's private jet land in Morristown, NJ last week while Trump was at Bedminster? Derispaska is a Russian oligarch who is barred from entry to the U.S. If he indeed was on that jet, someone from the DOJ would have had to override the sanctions & allow him into the U.S.

Making fun of ones physical appearance, how progressive and tolerant of you. Can we see photos of you from your modeling days.

By adamg on Thu, 09/21/2017 - 10:04am.

I don't show those photos to just anybody.

criticisms on what a bigoted asshole, sitting on the wrong side of history on a whole host of issues, Sessions is.

Also, it's unfair to Keebler elves to be compared to that racist, mealy-mouthed PoS.

My tolerance for people goes out the window when they start attacking others of race, nationality, language spoken, and what not. Which pretty much describes the entire Trump Administration.

It's open season on the Trump Administration now. It's clear they don't care about our feelings, why should we care about theirs? fuck'em.

Yeah, let's sink to their level!

Adam's hypocrisy and sexism know no bounds.

Bye, Felicia.
