Setting a very low Barr, fellaâŚ
Theyâve given up on actually trying to give plausible excuses. The well was always mostly dry with that crew of D-list talent.
Well, the AG nominee is starting off well by lying to several Senators. Just what you want to hear from the highest law enforcement officer in the nation. What the hell though, the last SC Judge did that throughout his confirmation hearing.
Advise and Consent, We Hardly Knew Ye!
He didnât want to give a false impression of fairness.
I remember some very guarded approval of this pick, because, as I understood it, for all his conservatism and support for sweeping presidential power, he seemed to come from the past world of normally functioning governmental systems that could be used well or poorly but were still normal as we nostalgically recall. Havenât been hearing a lot of that lately and wonder if we will again. This crap doesnât augur so well.
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.
(Hubris, thy name is Trumpublican.)
Welcome to the post-Kavanaugh era of confirmation by tantrum.
Iâd like to see some more reporting on exactly who is behind this move. Is it the case that the WH is instructing him not to meet with Dems, or is it the case that Barr came up with this wheeze? If the former, it shows his failure to exercise the independence crucial to the job; if the latter, it shows partisan bad faith and dishonesty. This should be gone into at his confirmation, itâs important.
Perhaps she and Blumenthal should have offered to meet Barr at Starbucks. Maybe they could have offered to pick up the tab.
When will Trump run out of cowards?
But but but his wife goes to church with, well, somebody! And Mueller went to his daughterâs wedding!
(To be honest this gives me a bad feeling about Mueller. Holding off on indictments till after the presidency perhaps?)
William Barr is very corrupt man, the proof of that is that he is very eager to join the Trump administration. The way the administration is going and the way that Trump treats his members of cabinets would give pause to any self respecting candidate, the fact the he so eagerly wants to join and the fact that he is avoiding scrutiny means that he intends to engage in very corrupt acts for his personal benefit. I just hope that the democrats , donât try the âlet begones be goneâ that they did with the Bushies and come hard on all this bastards, national reconciliation my ass.
This alone illustrates that he is unfit to hold any office of honor, roofit or trust it is grounds for denial of confirmation.
WOWâŚyouâre not AG yet, BarrâŚWTF do you think YOU get to opt out because of the âshutdownâ? Not very good starting OUT being a lying fk!
Barrâs job in the Trump administration is going to be quite simple (and rather difficult): save the Republican Party. If he has to end Trump to do it, he will. If he has to try to let Trump walk, heâll do that. But make no mistake, heâs been put there by the old guard to try to bring the party back from its slow death in the modern world, a death that Trump has been vastly accelerating.
Iâm waiting for the AP or someone to claim the Democrats arenât doing enough to meet with Barr.
Well! , considering all the Dem Attorney General picks that have refused to meet with RepublicansâŚOh Wait
Every fucking day these pricks diminish the light of democracy a little more
Mueller knows what Barr wants.
