This makes my blood boil. Why the fuck does she have to be nice? Is anyone reprimanding the male senators for not being "nice"?

The cutting him off thing pisses me off for multiple reasons. It's not just that Harris is a woman. But they only get X amount of time. When any Dem is asking tough questions, all Sessions had to do was ramble on so they can't get it as many questions. And he never even got around to answering the GD question in the first place. So Harris cut him off and directed his answers to keep him on point. That's what should be done!

Oh friend, I went down this rabbit hole after the Coats hearing and it riled me up so much. All over Twitter she was called disrespectful and rude and aggressive. It's racism and misogyny and it's horrid.

So, Beauregard the Bigot has the memory of a goldfish.
That's really all I'm taking away from this.

Can we get Risch primaried? Who here lives in Idaho? We're going to make you a senator. I volunteer as tribute. Risch is a troll. Excellent. Consider yourself drafted. I'm starting the justjack PAC now.

Okay, I have to admit, I felt empathy for him for a fleeting moment. But that moment passed quickly. But like, maybe if he's a nervous wreck and can't remember a damn thing, this isn't the job for him. Totally. And note that of course a smart woman of color would make JEFFERSON nervous. I am not saying he deserved empathy, but I felt it for a split second. It is a weakness.

In hindsight, did you ever interact with anyone normal-seeming who you might think was suspicious now, looking back? Like a reporter, or just a person on the street? WTF. Lol like Devin Nunes skulking between Ubers?

Any thoughts on how it went for those of us who could only follow the live blog (thank you!)? It is my understanding that no one asked Sessions if he divested from his Keebler Elf interests.

I wasn't able to watch real-time today, but now I'm all caught up. Thanks for the live blogging! Sessions clearly has a terrible "memory." ![](https://media4.giphy.com/media/3o7btYfBfKdEUvRuEg/200w.gif)

So lemme get this straight, Jefferson. You don't remember most of what is being asked, but they should believe your memory is reliable on the rest? You cannot site the legal basis for avoiding answering questions but there is one. You are very concerned about hacking but you never chose to read any news or anything about the hacking. That's what you want them to believe, JEFFERSON? LOL you're so right and this is reminding me, for absolutely no reason, of the SNL sketch about the Atlanta blizzard. "I jumped into my white Escalahd, and I went to the safest place I could imagine--the IN-tah-STATE."

Y'all. The response to this has only 4% of respondents saying they still have questions. HOW?! Probably because he didn't answer any.

Thank you all.for posting throughout. I wasn't able to watch, though I did catch the clip of McCain being an ass to Harris.
