i'm critical of that and also critical of the selection of general michael flynn, i mean when general barry mccaffrey talks him as verging on the demented, you have to wonder, is flynn a good choice. the famently enterprise of the flynn family was to engage in fake news and actually accuse hillary clinton and john podesta of being complicit in a child sex trafficking ring coming out of a neighborhood pizza shop in washington, d.c. something that almost led to a shooting tragedy in washington. how can you possibly pick somebody like that to run a federal agency. actually boggles the mind that he would be one of the picks, and also senator jeff sessions. i don't get a vote. i'm not a senator on confirmation of these picks, but to pick him for attorney general, somebody who is charged to be the top law enforcement officer in the united states and stick up for everyone's civil rights in this country, i was at selma, alabama, last year for the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday. there was jeff sessions smiling sweetly and saying nothing about revamping the voting rights act which was gutted by th
