We knew part of thisā€“that Barr had to threaten to quit in order to halt some of Fat Donā€™s most ridiculous plans.

And no, heā€™s not going to be re-elected in 2024.

Barr moved on Trump like a ***** and the latter couldnā€™t get it done. Shows who was the real boss of the relationship and who was the timid beta. Sad.

Barr did like the loveseat he saw when Trump took him furniture shopping, though.

Yep, and you can bet it was Barrā€™s big behind that leaked this story in a sorry effort to salvage the last shred of his reputation.

Right again. Itā€™s kind of hard to get reelected when you canā€™t even run because youā€™re too busy going to court.

Churchillā€™s sentiments about Dulles could definitely be said about Trump:

"Winston Churchill once said of John Foster Dulles: ā€˜Heā€™s the only bull I know who carries his own china closet with him.ā€™"

I fail to understand why people are concerned with Republicans and anti-vaxxers refusing to get vaccinated for COVID. As far as Iā€™m concerned they should all quit wearing seatbelts and motorcycle/ bike helmets, too. Also smoke. A lot. And eat a very unhealthy diet. And jaywalk in busy traffic. And get in violent domestic arguments with a lot of knives and guns laying around the house. And consider suicide an alternate life choice.

Let me get this straight. The former guy (MFWWNBN) was going to can the FBI director, effectively ending his career. And now that FBI director is well-ensconced in a new administration and may have to oversee investigations into MFWWNBN and its spawn.

I think Iā€™m liking this.

With any luck and a strong dose of truth, justice, and the American way the former guy will be in a NY prison toward the beginning of a long, long, long stay.
