A great rebuttal over at The Bulwark,
OMG!!! Billy Barr is offended that some states are limiting people’s rights over concerns for their “safety”??? Did this asshole suddenly grow a uterus?
Yep. I’m gonna patiently wait until I see my state’s death and case rate start to go down. Only then will I consider getting back to “normal”. But both you fat boys, keep on bloviating. It’s falling on my deaf ears.
I predict 500 comments on this one.
That’s on you, Barr
Trouble is, the virus just won’t listen to Barr, or Trump, or Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson, on down the list. The virus is the ultimate irony for them. It won’t back down, and its presence and effects just can’t be hidden nor shamed away as fake news. They’ve met their Waterloo. They’ll admit to it one day, years in the future, when they finally realize the truth.
The infringed upon rights invoked to date:
getting a hair cut, style and blow dry
touching up the roots to cover the gray
getting a free soft drink fill-up at a restaurant
shoulder to shoulder recreational fishing
5 G networks
buying grass seed and lawn fertilizer
mani/pedi
Not suddenly - he’s always been this person.
Just wanted to post this again.
Good luck selling that with the conservative members of the SCOURT. Just another poser like the rest of Trump’s entourage.
The attorney general said that if his department believes a governor has “gone too far” and is sued as a result, then “we file (a) statement of interest and side with the plaintiffs.”
Jaba the Hutt signs on for some arm twisting?
And what’s with this ‘too far?’
The definition is nebulous so, presumably, it involves the governors having a (D) after their name or not playing patty cake with dear leader.
I will vote for any candidate that promises sending this bastard Barr to Guantanamo and holds him there without trial forever. Bonus if he promises to do the same with SOB Kushner.
Hopefully Democratic governors won’t instinctively hide in the closet and crap in their pants at the first sign of Republican muscle-flexing. Democrats in Congress, of course, are another story… These people beggar belief…
Oh, fuck you Barr.
Just bring it on!
Actually, he knows that Trump appointed him to be Trump’s own Heinrich Himmler, like Hitler’s chief enforcer, head of the Gestapo, the SS, and the “Final Solution.”
The attorney general said that if his department believes a governor has “gone too far” and is sued as a result, then “we file (a) statement of interest and side with the plaintiffs.”
Shawn Marshall Myers, 41, was busted after refusing multiple orders to disperse the crowd of 60 people at his Hughesville home, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
Exactly what I was talking about in the other thread. Trump is using a refusal to create a national testing program, withholding direct payments to states, and now this DOJ threat to force… er, “encourage” states to lift their restrictions too early. All he cares about is the economy, not peoples’ lives.
Notice also that Barr isn’t threatening direct action, he’s saying the DOJ will weigh in on the side of a plaintiff seeking to lift the sanction. It’s a hint for people to start suing the states. Probably because the DOJ doesn’t have standing to sue a state on its own.
He looks nice.
I’ve noted in life that when a police officer offers you the opportunity to just walk away, it’s quite advisable to wish them a nice day and get moving at a brisk pace.
“We’re at sort of a sensitive stage where we’re really transitioning to starting a process of trying to get the nation back up and running,” he continued. “I think that’s the best approach.”
if the rapture ever actually occurs there will be many left behind. they will be standing around asking WTF? Bill Barr will be one of them. (toss in Pence, Pomposity, and a raft of others).
