Two hundred days remain until the presidential election that will shape America’s destiny for the balance of the 21st century. The time will pass quickly. The magnitude of the decision cannot be overstated, nor can the threat to the American way of life that is imperiled by MAGA/fascism. A great test is at hand.
A SubStack poster earlier today referred to Michael Cohen as a “sleaze”. Bill Barr makes Cohen look like a saint; in a fair world he’d have been disbarred for any number of offenses long ago. And the “progressive agenda” about which he claims to be concerned has a focus about which he isn’t: humanity. Bill Barr has all the integrity of a Mitch McConnell or Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham or Chris Sununu or virtually the entire Republican Party. Beneath contempt, all of them.
“If you believe in his policies, what he’s advertising is his policies, he’s the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them. He does not have the discipline, he does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system. It is a horror show when he is left to his own devices.”
——Bill Barr
Agree totally Steve, on all points. However, were you expecting anything different from the man who penned the misleading and twisted Mueller Summary he released two weeks before the actual report, stating NO COLLUSION!
Except Barr left out the fact that collusion isn’t the crime, it’s conspiracy and Mueller found many instances of it.
Including meetings between Russian’s, Kushner, Don Jr. and Manafort. Kushner and Don Jr. wanting to set up a back channel to Putin in the Russian Embassy. And let’s not forget Manafort giving a certain former FSB agent and friend of Putin, secret campaign polling data from the Trump campaign.
Barr has always been a duplicitous fixer for the party. During HW Bush’s administration he spearheaded the Iran/Contra pardons. He’s been a champion of the Unitary Executive Theory, and was specifically appointed AG to clean up Session’s Russian collusion scandal, and find Trump innocent of all charges.
Mission accomplished!
Oh, and like Pompeo, Pence and all the other dubious lying scoundrels in the Republican Party, he believes liberals are the problem of all of America’s ills, and religion in government and public schools is the ultimate panacea.
Barr now joins a long list of of Republican luminaries and profiles in cowardice; may he rest in hell, I mean peace, with the latest Republican Benedict Arnold’s:
Chris Sununu
Mike Pence
Bill Barr
John Bolton
Ted Cruz
Lapdog Graham
Lying Rubio
JD Vance
The list is too long and I haven’t enough time in the day to finish this, but I look forward to Nikki Haley joining soon….:)
As far as Barr is concerned? Good riddance and don’t shut the door on the way out!….:)
Bill Barr had a hand in sending Michael Cohen to prison and unconstitutionally remanding him to Otisville. All in the cause of making Michael serve time for doing Donald’s bidding in paying off Stormy Daniels in a catch-and-kill story. Michael was remanded for refusing to sign away his first amendment rights (which was unconstitutional).
Bill Barr was a bully from the start, according to people who worked with him long before he crossed paths with Trump. An opportunist at heart, he may have decided to throw his lot in with Trump, who he naturally has an affinity towards. Or he realizes no matter what, his behavior with Mueller and his cover-ups for Trump will never be forgiven by the rest of us.
But what I wonder is whether this is a cynical calculation that Trump is sick enough with dementia he can be quickly replaced once elected with a VP that the Catholic Opus Dei carefully choose, just as they chose the SCOTUS Justices, someone who will be much more 'manageable'. Discussions of who will be VP have really died down lately, which I think is very odd.
Or perhaps Barr has some dirt in his background, is getting blackmailed to support Trump?
Whatever it is, it is disturbing Barr has slid around like this.
Barr is a frustrated old loser on all fronts! He should never be in a government position ever again!
Barr must feel that he “owes” Trump something? Cannot imagine that Trump will bring Barr into “the fix.” Trump will NEVER forgive him for his range of comments! That is not loyalty in the Trump terms?
What made him make this about face? Is someone or several someones in the MAGA cult pressuring him?
Has anyone ever stated how Biden is destroying the country? I’ve asked several MAGAs here in central Florida and have never gotten a thoughtful response, just TFG’s lies.
I’d be interested in having this conversation with Bill Barr; if nobody is leaning on him, surely he has thought it through.
Bill Barr is a disgrace. The quotes provided by Steve Schmidt so clearly indicate the hypocrisy of the present Republican Party. In what way could Biden ever present even a fraction of the danger presented by Trump. Can Barr or any other Republican enlighten me in that regard. How does the desire to create a fair and decent country, in which all are allowed a level playing field upon which to succeed, and create for themselves and their family’s a safe and free existence, not beat the one sided, super charged capitalist, racist, white Christian supremacist society that Trump and his acolytes wish to force upon the majority of Americans? You can’t possibly give me any reason why sane people don’t genuinely want what Biden and the democrats are offering. Barr opposes liberal democracy for the very reason that the present Republican Party opposes it. He and they want absolute power, they want to continue concentrating the wealth of the country amongst the elite that control the Republican Party and their stupid, deplorable supporters are just too vapidly racist to realize the extent to which they are being hoodwinked by their hypocritically devious and depraved leaders.
I wish anyone of these people would explain to me what the progressive agenda is? They never explain what it is that is so frightening. A quick look at the definition of progressive is, "favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, especially in political matters". Critical words here are (5) "maintain things as they are" = corruption, avarice, power = the status quo for republicans. So regressive is the word for republicans, "becoming less advanced, returning to a former or less developed state." So, there you have it folks and it's plain as day, we get fucked over or we send them packing and move forward. We have a lot of work to do so spread the word.
Amen Steve! Barr is a smart, but a super devious s**t who holds no loyalty or allegiance to his nation and its democracy. His only allegiance is to himself and autocracy of the fascist variety. If we wondered who became Trump’s fixer once Michael Cohen went to jail, the answer is Trump appointed his new fixer as U.S. Attorney General. Barr then set about as AG turning the DOJ into a cesspool of corruption, primarily as an obstructor of justice to keep Trump and his cronies out of jail. Did you ever wonder why it took so long for the election interference case now underway in s Manhattan courtroom to actually get charged? Barr intervened as a AG to squash it at the Federal level, even getting Trump’s name removed and changed to “individual 1” in the indictment charging Cohen. And did you notice that Cohen got charged and convicted, but the person he was the “bag man” for was not? The answer- Bill Barr. Barr has been on the public speaking circuit getting credit for telling Trump that all his talk of 2016 election interference was baloney. That was easy for him to do because Barr knew he couldn’t fix that for Trump. But look at all the other illegal and/or unethical things Barr did for Trump. Things like sentence reductions and pardons (Stone, Manafort, Flynn) for cronies and obfuscating the Mueller Report involving Trump’s Russian election collusion, not to mention obstruction of justice in this election interference case about to be tried. My question is, why hasn’t Barr been charged and prosecuted for all that stuff? Barr was a key enabler and fixer for Trump. His now “flip flop” to endorse Trump speaks volumes as to how corrupt and dangerous to democracy Bill Barr is. Bill Barr should be behind bars.
PS and make no mistake, a second Trump term with Stephen Miller as AG would, imo, turn the DOJ into an American version of the Nazi Gestapo.
We are so manipulated by so many! I have held office at a local level for women's organizations. We really didn't need to use "spin," that I can recall; mainly because we were "all in" for our stated mission and objectives. This is a resource worth looking at from the Press Association....

After everything I have heard Barr say, we come to this. Another batshit Republican. Kool-Aid stock must be going through the roof.

Barr should be investigated by a serious reporter if not the DOJ

Follow the money!!
I read an entire history of Barr a few days ago. WHAT A COMPLETE POS.
His treatment of activities by Reagan and Bush, Sr. should have been means for immediate dismissal, impeachment and jail.
Please look into his criminal history.
He was once asked how he could be on the wrong side of history and answered “it depends who writes it.” That was all I needed to know.
We are so manipulated by so many! I have held office at a local level for women's organizations. We really didn't need to use "spin," that I can recall; mainly because we were "all in" for our stated mission and objectives. This is a resource worth looking at from the Press Association....

Barr is the most reprehensible, malicious, tendentious and evil member of T💩p coterie of reprehensible, malicious, tendentious and evil gnomes.
