Trump is continuing on his doomed quest

Tragic hero or insane fool?

Maybe someone should write a book about him.

This was on when I turned on my TV this morning. It was like waking up in a parallel universe where we actually had a functioning AG and Justice Department. I suppose he wants to try and salvage something of his reputation, good luck with that you schmuck…

I’m guessing KAC’s is going to be number one on the runway.

Surveying the wreckage of the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, Barr made a motion like he was washing his hands and said ,“My work here is done.”.

Well, this is great and all, but Barr’s gone as of December 23. Plenty of time for Trumpkins to get somebody else to do his foul bidding.

I have it on good authority that this announcement was part of a grand 11-dimensional chess move to release a kraken.

That was my thought too. At best, Barr is trying to rehabilitate himself a little but the damage he has done and the ill-will he has generated will outlast him.

the Department had not found evidence of mass voter fraud in the 2020 presidential contest

And, of course, the Department found ample evidence that Trump colluded with the Russian government to affect the results of the 2016 election.

He’s only AG until Wednesday. I’m more worried about Rosen’s opinion now

Limpest coup ever. Like a deformed little mushroom.

I hope a competent and apolitical DOJ can find prosecutable crime in this seditious nonsense.
