I don’t think Barr interpreted the all-caps directives to do any exercise whatsoever - even participate in an exercise in which jacked federal agents usher him to safety, probably with a sandwich. But besides that, at the same time the President ordered this, 12:42pm EST, POTUS was shambling out of a ballroom in Davos where he had just harangued the World Economic Forum on the prosperity in 'Merica.

I guess Bill Barr was literally a crazy man looking for monsters under his bed with the whole antifa thing.

And here I thought it was a ruse be a racist SOB.

People who need people are biggest assholes

And yet letting a grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

I think we are all coming to understand that a lot of these GOP cranks actually believe everything they hear on FOX. That was my biggest takeaway from the dark ages under TFG. I had always assumed that most of them, other than the Louis Gohmerts of the world, knew that it was all bullshit - but apparently not.

That’s okay. Mitch McConnell has ruined me for turtles.

And TFG has ruined me for turds.
