U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday unveiled a partial list of his foreign policy advisers in an interview with The Washington Post, after saying last week that he mostly consults himself on international affairs.

The advisory team, headed by U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions, includes terrorism expert Walid Phares, energy industry executive Carter Page, international energy lawyer George Papadopoulos, former government inspector general Joe Schmitz, and former Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, he told the Post in an on-the-record editorial board meeting, according to the media company.

1. well, I think it is time that people publicized Sessions opinion on veterans again

like that they are acting as if they are entitled to medicare after leaving the military (use the word entitled dripping in disdain) he wants to cut medical care for veterans. Seems to fit so well with the every day love of our military,while they are fighting, but they should know to die to relieve us of the burden of taking care of them.

2. Jeff Sessions

Here's an oldie-but-goodie about Jeff Sessions' failed nomination to the US District Court. During that rejection, Teddy Kennedy said that it waw "inconceivable … that a person of this attitude is qualified to be a US attorney, let alone a United States federal judge."
