The power of the purse lies with Facebook and Fox News.
Also, as QAnon is saying, the Deep State within the Federal Reserve and the Dept. of the Treasury has been propping up the stock market to help Trump. (Pass it on.)

I think it would serve Trump’s purpose if several dozen Tim McVeighs were on the loose.

Barr is clearly the anarchist in his continued attempts to permanently install and empower the Commander and Chief of Anarchism.
The rot and decay continues from these enemies of America.

The DOJ and the absurd deference it enjoys Is being used to attribute a federal legal character to ordinary civilian activities. This is a transparent warmup to Barr driven stunts on Election Day and its aftermath, when bogus, autocratic certifications will be issued by the DOJ in a desperate attempt to seize power. But apparently there’s nothing to be done. Barr has discovered that AGs have and always will have the power to derail our democracy while the House can only look on.

Perhaps. But the Oklahoma City bombing was a horrible event, killing even children. Then again, you’re right, Trump would blame it on Antifa.

His boss found a new use for Barr’s mouth and Barr dutifully removed his own teeth in service to the master.

There fine people on both sides of the Oklahoma City bombing.

I’m not so sure that Barr can force a catastrophe after or during the election. If nothing else, the courts in the individual states can be used by the loser, say, as in Bush v. Gore, to protest the states’ election certifications, but court action will serve as a buffer, at least a temporal one. That’s our system. I think it will work.

The next AG needs to thoroughly investigate everything that Barr’s had a hand in.
Starting with the tapes outside Epstein’s cell.

I’m not so sure. Many just hated Hillary Clinton, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was her having been vilified for years. Anyway, it was a contest among two people. I’m not so sure that a lot of people dislike Biden in that way, despite the Trump campaign efforts to malign him. So it might be only 50,000,000!

It’s probably in one of those classified docs outlining the President’s special authority in emergencies. I can’t remember who it was, but a number of months ago, someone (on lawfare maybe?) wrote a post about those docs that sent shivers down my spine.

Think of it as situational ethics. Republicans have a history of saying what works for them at any point in time, consistency, honesty and truth notwithstanding. It’s the GOP way. Lindsey Graham is the current poster boy for such an approach.

Barr and Drumph would attribute all crimes since the dawn of the republic to anarchists and antifacists.
In trump’s “History” Antifacists were probably the center of Benedict Arnolds line of red coats, they sank the USS Maine, manned the radar at Pearl Harbor, and started the fire at Waco.
Antifa would probably be blamed for the assassination of JFK, too, but thankfully we now know it was Ted Cruses dad.

Barr’s hypocrisy is not new, but it should be restated that when faced with a literal armed occupation of federal land, no tear gas, pepper bullets or other violent actions were taken.

My page just flashed up and there is your post…I love you. So much.
It’s an American tradition! Just ask Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
