Undoubtedly, more GOP chicanery.

Two days earlier we read that Stacey Abrams and her campaign are being investigated for ethics violations. The Republicans hate it when black people don’t know their place.

A black democrat. He’s got to be guilty of something. (Snark alert)

There are so many laws to remember. You can’t:

  1. BBQ while black
  2. Picnic in Mississippi while black
  3. Sell bottled water while black
  4. Campaign for office while black.

I know I’m missing a lot of them.

Since we had Barbecue Becky and Permit Patty…maybe… Run-for-Office Ron?

Considering the road that Barr has chosen to go down (politicizing the DOJ to make it shitgibbon’s personal political weapon), it’s very likely that their plan is to try and damage anyone who might be a threat to their desire for permanent rule of our country.

Getting into tinhat territory (and I’m not one for that) but it’s just too coincidental.

Turn about is fair play. Repugs better be careful as to how far they reach.

Pelosi:

Important to keep focusing on infrastructure. Even if Trump and his stooges in the DOJ round up Comey, Mueller, Hillary, and Gillum, be aware that Democrats are fired up about (1) not raising taxes on the very rich; (2) not doing anything much about global warming; and (3) a detailed infrastructure bill.

The DOJ is corrupt. We know DOJ leadership is corrupt. To what level of supervision, we don’t know. Any prudent person would greet these kinds of DOJ actions against opposition political leaders with a high degree of skepticism. But keep in mind, even in Nazi Germany, garden variety apolitical crimes, assaults, robbery, murders, etc. were committed and the perpetrators were punished. The overall goal of a corrupt DOJ is to conduct business as usual while engaging in just enough political harassment so as not to raise too many red flags. I have a feeling that Billy Barr will be quite good at this.

So begins the politicization of the Justice Department under Barr. Investigate Democrats because they’re Democrats. Cast aspersions on their character. Confuse the nation.

And “BREAKING NEWS” for Faux news network. Nothing like being a shill for Hannity.

Over 70% of the population does not know what you and I know, emotionally, about this.

At the PRESENT TIME, that is the GOP’s greatest advantage…

If 70% of the population DID know, Barr would have been arrested in early April.

We have always been our own worst enemy.

There is an infrastructure in this country, all right. A good seminar-level analysis of this corrupt “infrastructure” (which includes things ranging from inaccurate political representation to a mass culture hellbent on extension of adolescence) would nail down why the above is 70/30…

Instead of 30/70.

According to TB Times article, subpoena comes from “U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Tallahassee”. If Wikipedia is to be believed, Chief Judge Mark Walker was appointed by Obama, and the other two judges listed for Tallahassee were Ford and Clinton appointees, respectively.

The US Attorney for the Northern District, however, was nominated by Trump and confirmed by McConnell’s Senate early this year–make of that what you will.

Unfortunately I agree. Unlike the loons who always dial everything to 11, he understands there’s a majority that doesn’t see things the way his side does, and he has to make it look as good as possible to them.

The types of oversight questioning of Barr cannot wait for very long. Barr is working the BothSiderist angle.

Trump has the crazies.
Barr is after the margins

AND MORE

We cannot wait on letting Barr get any kind of foothold before we strike.

Barr must be seen as EXACTLY what he is…
