FINAL TALLY:
52/47

Notable crossover:
Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted AYE

Not Voting:
Jeff Sessions voted PRESENT

WASHINGTON — Senator Jeff Sessions, Republican of Alabama, was confirmed on Wednesday as President Trump's attorney general, capping a bitter and racially charged nomination battle that crested with the procedural silencing of a leading Democrat, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who had criticized the Alabama senator from the Senate floor.

Mr. Sessions survived a near-party-line vote, 52 to 47, the latest sign of the extreme partisanship at play as Mr. Trump strains to install his cabinet. No Republicans broke ranks in their support of a colleague who will become the nation's top law enforcement official after two decades in the Senate.

Trump was clearly going to get every appointee nominated, it was just a matter of time because of the lack of votes Dems had, only so long that could drag this out


Sad day for America

Not surprised.

Democrats, please don't go along with the Republican agenda in the hopes that it'll give you "leverage" for later. Ever again. It got you nothing.

Dems better not try to reach across the aisle for anything.

Any bets on when BLM become labeled as a radical domestic terrorist group and get persecuted while neo-Nazis still complain about universities not liking them?

An open racist is now the AG of the United States backed by a white supremicist in office. Pure evil.

If you are a minority you need to get out of the USA if you have the means to do so. Screw this country, you are going to be arrested and killed at unprecedented rates. Try and save your lives and the lives of your families before the open lynchings start again in the south and middle of the country.

Can I fight him in hand to hand combat to deny him confirmation?

Cause I'll square up right now. Buy myself a plane ticket and everything.

Let's go, old man.

So guess me and every other minority might as well add a target to our heads. We're dead and there will be no justice.

Of course. There's a literal Nazi movement growing in America among young men. They're saying stuff like "it'd be easier with only one race." I'm not lying. This is the world now.

Somehow in America in 2017, it's fucking Germany in fucking 1933.

After what happened last night with Warren, I hope the Democrats disavow themselves of this belief that they're going to get 'political capital' with these fucks.

Filibuster Gorusch right out of the gate and just get it out of the way- Because the Republicans will clearly nuke it at the first possible opportunity. Just let them fuck up everything and hope to pick up the pieces in a few years... Really our only hope.

Where would they go? Most were running from bombs being thrown at them on a daily basis.

He looks like such an unassuming little old man, but he is a giant shitlord. Fuck this guy and fuck anyone who voted for him.
