I get to vote for Mark Kelly and watch Martha McSally become unemployed.
Our other senator …Krysten Sinema is a democrat and is not up for reelection this time around. And my Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick is also a democrat and she will win.

God, how I despise this diseased fat fuck. I hope he dies a slow and painful death soon. As he said “We’re all going to die”.

Considering that farts are mostly methane and methane is what composes natural gas, he is definitely gas-lighting.

“Then how WOULD you do it??”

I sincerely hope that Barr was testifying under oath. I sincerely hope that EVERY Repubiscum weasel is forced to testify under oath. Hope.

I wonder if THIS WH gives classes daily in double speak. ‘The sky is NOT blue…I don’t know why you would THINK that…’…

“We said he was stepping down which is usually the language we use in these — in these kinds of announcements,” Barr addd(sic). “But it left open the possibility that once he saw that he was leaving the position, that he’d be interested in figuring out other alternatives.”

The funny thing is, it doesn’t matter whether “stepping down” was general enough to cover whether he was fired or quit. Neither of those things had happened at the time he used the term. And of course he doesn’t get called out on that.

But the second sentence here is some seriously hilarious doublespeak. Translation:“We figured when I came out and announced his departure, he’d just wilt and buckle under.” How’d that turn out for you, Barr?

”I’d like to hear some examples of people we’ve charged that they think were unrighteous cases to bring,” Barr said.

That’s not the racket. The racket is to ease up on righteous cases when the perp produces something politically valuable. You have a good case against Erdogan’s ally. If Erdogan sits on the information you need him to sit on, you squelch the case against his pal. No unrighteousness is needed, and yet you are still completely and irretrievably corrupt.

He needs to go out and press the flesh more, maybe relax at a club in Miami

This is just a sophisticated variation on the apocryphal first rule of answering essay questions: If you can’t (or in Barr’s case won’t) answer the question, answer another one.

Excellent idea. Perhaps we could arrange for a bagpipe band to play during his perp walk.

Yes, and two-thirds of the people who try to repeat it say the fish “stinks” from the head. People are dumb, mostly.
