Discussion: DNI Feels Need To Express Confidence In Barr's Secret-Keeping Skills

Sure is nice to know that our presidential malignancy is fine with torpedoing, you know, the entire country if it protects him personally, or feeds his weird little toilet-throne revenge fantasies.

The GOP could never let that happen ā€“ it would be like a deplorable magnet, removing their voters from across the country. I say we get behind it!

Really? I donā€™t find naivete in any single one of Barrā€™s pronouncements about anything related to Trump. There was nothing naive about his public interpretation of Muellerā€™s report. Barr is an experienced attorney and AG and we shouldnā€™t be excusing anything heā€™s done.

He wanted an apparatus that worked in the shadows to undermine him.

Looks like heā€™s about to get one.

From the article:

ā€œItā€™s either going to be bloodshed or Liberty State,ā€ Holaday said ominously.

Well, naming is always tricky, but I think ā€œbloodshed stateā€ has a certain ring to it, and has (to borrow a quote from Kissinger) the additional virtue of being true.

Plus, the two-letter state abbreviation BS is available, and appropriate.

Oh? Thatā€™s not what he meant to say? My mistake, Iā€™m sureā€¦

Call you senators and congressman or woman. Leave a message if necessary. My repā€™s office told me that lots of people are calling today expressing their anger at Trump and what he is doing.

Ratfuckers donā€™t care about protocol.

Or principles.

Would you call how theyā€™re behaving already anything other than cheating and waltzing towards fascism?

Waltzing toward? Weā€™re there. Barrā€™s probably having special uniforms made for everyone right now. Someone needs to spray his ass with some of that stuff the N Koreans carry around in airports.

ā€œPlease clap.ā€ ā€”Jeb! Bush

Well, I hope they include knee-socks.

Pretty much that. The fundamental fact people need to recognize is that the GOP has thrown its lot in with Trumpism, and Trumpism is fascism, and the worse he behaves, the more complicit and closer to him they are.

There will be no magic moment where they break to our cause to save the republic until itā€™s pretty damn clear that we have beaten him.

If you donā€™t have the National Enquirer digging up dirt you can weaponize, then have the Attorney General do it for you. After all, a little dirt on a child got a Supreme Court Justice to resign. Barr stumbles across something that can be used like that heā€™ll offer it up.

At which point, his supporters will go widespread violent.

I donā€™t know if Dan Coats could do much. Heā€™s not one of the motherfuckers, like Barr, but he is no going to stand up to Trump ā€“ you can tale that to the Deutsche Bank.

i hope that doesnā€™t come to pass, but if it does, it will be on Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnellā€™s heads.

Something faster, like polka-ing.

I agree, but itā€™s possible he doesnā€™t know exactly how corrupt Trump is. None of us know that, and the answer would probably still shock me, even given all that I already know.

Certainly not as long as Mike Pence is watching. Yes, watching closely.

To paraphrase George Bushā€™s former aide, David Frumā€”thatā€™s the thing about Trump, whatever lie heā€™s telling at that moment, itā€™s invariably just a cover-up to a nastier, more sordid and corrupt, lie.
