At least they’re clearing away any ambiguity about what a 2nd term means for the country. Hard to wrap my head around finding myself on the doorstep of totalitarian rule this late in my life.

Hmm. What are the chances that RATcliffe gets pushed out a window, or falls victim to some mysterious illness, courtesy of the CIA’s covert operations division?

they should have exercised that thought 2 years ago.
I bet some are twitching about the idea of it for obvious reasons.

Naw, they’ll just “find” a whole bunch of child porn on his home computer.

Death is old-school and leads to uncomfortable questions, nobody questions when somebody is revealed to be a closet perv. Has the same effect of removing them from trouble.

Of course, if the Senate doesn’t confirm Ratty, then Trump will nominate Devin (The Sorrow of Holsteins) Nunes

Just as one of Barr’s job was to cover-up the Mueller Report and dismiss any future investigations against Trump/Individual1, which Barr has already started by dismissing the probe of the hush payments to Daniels…

Saying this again AND I truly hope Ratcliffe will prove me wrong:

Ratcliffe’s job is to squash any “intelligence” on how #TrumpIsARat/Individual1 has been asking & getting foreign help to win the election(s) or launder money or any other criminal foreign biz #TrumpIsARat might be engaged in for example sex trafficking.

While Trump allowed the Chinese madam to sell access in her massage parlor/spa in Mar-a-lago, she was allegedly engaged in trafficking young women from China.

Then there is that chance that the future Trump Tower Moscow would have a SPA named after Ivanka…
Didn’t Putin say that Russian prostitutes are the best in the world?

The story of the Trump administration: Competent Career Government Person pisses off Cheeto Mussolini by refusing to PUBLICLY kowtow to his ignorant, childish demands, is summarily replaced by a toadying ass-kisser yes-man with no qualifications other than their ability to ass-kiss as PUBLICLY as possible.

Rinse. Repeat.

Barr had “the opportunity to be perhaps the most consequential attorney general of our lifetime.”

There’s a lot of truth in that statement, but it doesn’t fall in the “restore the American people’s confidence in a Justice Department" category.

Meanwhile, isn’t “putting people in charge of investigating people they hate, of people that they are biased against and prejudiced against,” the sole reason Trump nominated him?
