    William Barr is a clean-up artist; a scandal squelcher.

    He was attorney general under George H.W. Bush, with the job of making Iran-Contra go away and then helping cover up when news broke about how the Bushes had been tied to the “drug-running-Panamanian-dictator” Manuel Noriega.

    After years of helping Trump cover up his scandals and crimes, Barr can see clearly that the Titanic is sitting on the bottom of the ocean, so it is definitely time (five months after Trump is out of office) to start condemning the iceberg.

    Trump wanted his Roy Cohn to be resurrected and the reincarnation came in the form of Bill Barr. Of course, like Trump’s other attorneys Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani, Roy Cohn also lost his license to practice law. (Trump must be setting some kind of record for hiring the most lawyers who lose their licenses.) As Sidney Powell and Bill Barr hear the news, they’re probably already sweating hair dye down the sides of their heads.

    William Barr is a snake. He will cover up the criminal’s dirt until it is no longer in his interest, and then the fangs get turned and the knife goes in his previous clients’ back.

    In response to the Time Magazine brain fart:

    “In Ball’s framing of the story, a single conspiratorial cabal that started with “the galactic center for a constellation of operatives across the left” united progressive activists, Big Tech, media, state elections officials, lawyers, business, labor, street activists, and a handful of Republicans. They worked to change voting rules to advantage Democrats, and plotted to thwart Republican efforts to challenge the rules they had already changed or the outcomes they had helped create.

    Ball mixes and matches together into a single stew the story of efforts to (1) strategize among Democrats to beat Trump, (2) change voting rules to allow more mail-in balloting, (3) convince voters to vote by mail, (4), finance protective equipment for polling places, (5) win preelection lawsuits for Democrats over Republicans, (6) enlist Big Tech leaders such as Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook to actively police “disinformation” on their platforms, (7) spread public awareness of the challenges of vote-counting in 2020, (8) promote in-person and mail-in turnout by black voters in particular, (9) control the timing of street protests on the left, and (10) pressure or convince Republican elections officials and state legislators to resist Trump’s post-election schemes. Ball presents this narrative as if it were a single, unified plan directed by the people that she interviewed. We are given no evidence, however, of which people and groups were involved across multiple different tasks, or how coordinated those efforts really were."

    And yes, that’s the conservative magazine the National Review calling this bull____.

    MoscowBill is ranting again…“sigh”. Not a SINGLE ONE of his litany of LIES is anywhere CLOSE to the truth, but he just keeps on spewing his crap, thinking that people will be impressed. It’s like a baby throwing a loud tantrum, hoping that mommy will buy him the toy he wants.

    Sorry, Billy, it ain’t working. You’re a brainwashed fool…and we all know it. You prove it every time you post your nonsense.

    When Barr covered for Trump in the Mueller investigation, Bill was able to control the narrative. Barr can’t do that if he signs onto the Big Lie.

    This guy, Mike Pompeo, and Chris Christie all still aspire to be the next Republican presidential nominee. I propose that the debate between them be conducted according to the Japanese rules for sumo.

    @Kyrie Eleison

    You’re cherry-picking.

    Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.

    The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted. . . . Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors. The scenario the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory. It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all, a failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding.
