From last spring, a blossom pendant that I carved in Camelia wood.
Oh, this was something else. He damn near destroyed the man.
All that was missing was the mic drop.
No, really. It’s like a scene out of a popular, critically-acclaimed HBO drama series that ends up winning all the emmys in the end.
He fucking gutted the bastard.
That dude should run for President based solely on this video alone.
The rhetorical precision.
oh that build
I would love to use this in class to demonstrate the effect of passive voice (it has been reported) and the blend of rhetorical strategies in the final statement. Too bad my County would see it as a skewed lesson.
Anybody else get a definite Socratic feel from this?
Obliterated
The horrified stare the wife gives when she clutches her pears and realizes how utterly fucked Jeff is.
watching this was a great start to my day
It’s a very uplifting video. Someone is finally being held accountable for their blatant lies and corruption. You don’t see that too often in politics.
And it’s not like the dude is even getting angry with Sessions. He is perfectly calm, cold and rational. He came incredibly well-prepared.
I think the “You understand sir, that I get to ask the questions, you provide the answers in this capacity. You are no longer in the US senate” line was a little dramatic, but, you know, it was cool.
So I like it.
“Pearl clutching!” I’m screaming.
Every TV screenwriter and actor should study this.
It is better than anything you will see on House of Cards.
Holy green guacamole…
Decimated
I sat here vibrating with joy and it just kept getting better.
He’s POLITE. And Sessions is PANICKED and stuttering. A RACIST is being demolished by as black man who is being POLITE.
It literally doesn’t get more poetic than this. Shakespeare couldn’t have written this level of divine justice. The fucking classics wish they were this classic. The old gods are smirking down on this fucker right now, enjoying the human sacrifice that’s going down.
From now on, I will end every cool thing I ever say with: “I yield back.”
The most articulate version of “talk shit, get hit” I have ever heard
Provided that guy avoids any Al Franken-like scandals, he could be going places.
The charisma, sharpness and intelligence he displays here is truly something else.
The questioner is Congressman Hakeem Jeffries from the 8th district of New York.
(Begin transcript) Jeffries: Uh, Mr. Sessions, I have a copy of the transcript of your testimony before the Senate judiciary committee in October. You stated under oath “I don’t recall” in some form or fashion some 29 times. Is that correct? Sessions: I have no idea. Jeffries: I have a copy of the transcript of your testimony before the Senate intelligence committee in June. You stated under oath “I don’t recall” in some form or fashion approximately 36 times. Is that correct? Sessions: I don’t know. Jeffries: In your testimony today, you have said “I don’t recall” at least 20 times. Is that fair to say? Sessions: I have no idea. Jeffries: Now, on October 4 2016, during a TV interview with Lou Dobbs, you criticized Hillary Clinton for telling FBI investigators “I can’t remember” approximately 35 times. You also stated during that Lou Dobbs interview that the intentional failure to remember can constitute perjury. Mr. Attorney General, do you still believe that the intentional failure to remember can constitute a criminal act? Sessions: If it’s, uh, a, uh, act to deceive, yes. Jeffries: K. Now you testified in January that you had no contact with Russian operatives during the Trump campaign. Earlier today, you testified that your story has, quote, “never changed.” Is that correct? Sessions: (no response) Jeffries: That was your testimony earlier today? That your story has never changed. Correct? Sessions: I believe that’s, um, fair to say. We might- Jeffries: (talking over) Okay- Sessions: (talking over) -get, ehh, uh, we’ve added things that I did not recall at the time. Jeffries: Right, but I’m not- Sessions: (talking over) But my statement at the time was my best recollection of the circumstances, and, uh, I, as things are brought up, uh- Jeffries: Reclaiming my time. I understand. Sessions: All right. Jeffries: Sir, you now acknowledge, uh, meeting with Ambassador Kislyak during the Republican National Convention. Correct? Sessions: I remember I made a speech, he came up to me afterwards I was standing in front of the speaker (unintelligble) and, uh, did chat with him- Jeffries: (talking over) Okay, thank you, and you also- Sessions: (talking over) (unintelligible) not a meeting, it was just, uh, an, uh, encounter at that time. Jeffries: Okay, and you also, uh, met with the ambassador in September of 2016 in your office as you’ve acknowledged. Correct? Sessions: (talking over) Yes, for an appointment. I had two senior staffers, both full Colonels in United States Army, retired, in, in the meeting- Jeffries: (talking over) Now you testified- I’m sorry. You testified in June before the Senate intelligence committee that you had not heard even a whisper about possible Russian involvement in the Trump campaign. Yet we understand you attended this March 31, uh, meeting with George Papadopoulos, talked about potential communications with Russian operatives, uh, but also, according to your third quarter 2016 FTC filing, you hosted a Trump campaign dinner meeting on June 30 2016 at the Capitol Hill Club, is that right? Sessions: That’s correct. I was- Jeffries: (talking over) And your Senate reelection campaign paid for that meeting, is that right? Sessions: Uh, I, I think that may be so. Jeffries: Okay, and Carter Page and George Papadopoulos both attended that June 30 meeting, correct? Sessions: (hesitates) That has been reported. Jeffries: And at that meeting, Carter Page told you that the- that he was going to Moscow in a few days, is that right? Sessions: (hesitates) Yes. Jeffries: Okay. At- Sessions: (talking over) Uh, um, and he, um- Jeffries: (talking over) Thank you, thank you- Sessions: (talking over) He said it was a brief meeting as he was walking out the door, I don’t recall that conversation, but, uh, I’m not able to dispute it, and- Jeffries: Understood. Reclaiming my time, I’ve got limited, uh, time available- Sessions: (talking over) That is not, uh, did that establish a, uh, some sort of improper contact with Russians? Jeffries: (talking over) I think you understand, I think you understand that- Sessions: (talking over) He’s not Russian either, you know. Jeffries: (talking over) You understand, sir, I get to ask the questions, you provide the answers. In this capacity you’re no longer in the United States Senate. Uh, you voted in 1999 to remove Bill Clinton from office on charges of perjury, correct? Sessions: That is correct. Jeffries: And connected- Sessions: (talking over) Uh, there were other charges, I’m, I voted for impeachment, yes. Jeffries: (talking over) Simple- Simple question. Yes, I understand. To remove him, actually; impeachment’s in the House. In connection with that vote to remove President Clinton from office, you gave this speech on the Senate floor on February 29, 1999, and in it, you acknowledge, uh, that while serving as U.S. Attorney, you once prosecuted a young police officer who lied in a deposition. And in that speech, you decided to prosecute that young police officer even though he corrected his testimony. Now you’ve testified under oath before the Senate judiciary committee in January. You subsequently corrected that testimony in a March 6 written submission, and have been forced repeatedly to come back to the Senate and now the House to clarify. When explaining your vote on the Senate floor to remove Bill Clinton from office, you stated that you refuse to hold a President accountable to a different standard than the young police officer who you prosecuted. Let me be clear: The Attorney General of the United States of America should not be held to a different standard than the young police officer whose life you ruined by prosecuting him for perjury. I yield back.

In the wise words of Macklemore, its a murder scene, you’re gonna learn some things
Today we’re brunching on some of the most intricate and beautiful fruit pies we’ve ever seen. Seattle-based home baker Lauren Ko arranges long, thin strips of dough, finely sliced fruits, and nuts into complex lattices and other elaborate designs.
“I’m driven by color and pattern, so I’m constantly brainstorming color combinations and geometric patterns that I think I can replicate with pie dough [and] fruit,” she explains. “What I create during a particular baking session is also often informed by produce that is in season and what’s currently in my fridge. My final products are generally happy accidents.”

yesterday I was at gamestop and a man in full Data cosplay walked up to the front counter and I did a double take so hard I nearly broke my neck. So, he walks up and the cashier just casually smiles and goes “How’s it going, Data? What can I do for you?” and Data goes, “I am doing quite well. I was just wondering when you guys would have Destiny 2 in stock.” This mans……literally did not smile or emote at all. He went all in. The cashier was totally non fazed. I, however, was completely shitting my pants cos ya’ll DO NOT understand how good this dude’s cosplay was. It really looked like fuckin data teleported into the middle of game stop in rural ohio to ask about motherfucking destiny 2.
The only time he broke character was when I was stealthily trying to stare at him and thinking about asking for a pic when he was walking out.This dude. Looked at me, completely expressionless. and WINKED at me. Someone collect ya mans he wildin lmfao

People adding Nazi apologist shit onto my posts like “but nazis invented cell phones and space rockets so without them we’d be less technologically advanced VuV” like buddy, if you think for one second we wouldn’t have eventually made it to the moon or made instant communication devices without mass genocide then I dunno what to tell you except to get the fuck away from me.
Your kind aren’t welcome here.
Also would I “trade” my cell phone for a world with no Nazis?
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?!?!
I’d trade my own life for a world without nazis. Fuck my phone. Fuck going to the moon. Human life should not be the cost of societal and technological progress.
What the fuck is wrong with you.
??? We’d have probably had cellphones sooner given the amount of inventors, theorists and artists the nazis killed. We’d have been to the moon sooner if we didn’t have segregation. God only knows where we’d be if women were given the opportunity to invent sooner. Disabled people come up with cool stuff too. It’s a whole new world of creation if you value human life equally!
