Barr: Trump using 'extortion' to control GOP

[Mac1958]

Good for you! But worthless, as you can state your positions now as ANYTHING. What we need to see are your positions as already committed to in past posts before you knew anyone would be counting or looking at them. Your argument above is about as worthless as Hillary saying: "Don't worry, I looked at those 33,000 government emails you were concerned about and they are all about yoga and recipes, so no need for concern!"


Go to it. Show us some of your posts denouncing socialism, globalism and defending a principled constitutional republic! Should be pretty easy for a rightwing patriot like you!


I've offered no such words needing backed up. Ace, this is all about YOU. If you want, you can PM me with the list or post them to this thread you keep going on about elsewhere then give me the link. Just get one thing straight Jack, YOU are the one making the unproven claims so I get to call the shots not you.

Put up now or shut up. This is at least the third time you've claimed what a conservative you are then backed out every time.

I'm neither a conservative nor a Republican. Nor have I ever claimed to be. That just happened in your mind.

Why can't you people understand that not everyone is a crazed winger like you?

Anti socialism

Well, I think actual socialism sucks, too. I'm a happy capitalist.

I'm just not worried about us going there.

Anti socialism

Yes, actual socialism as a socioeconomic system is a bad, bad idea.

Somehow this is supposed to be a news flash.

Anti socialism

Wow. That's interesting.

I'm against Single Payer. Illegal immigration. Political Correctness. Identity Politics. Socialism. Left wing coddling in schools and colleges. Cancel Culture. Increasing corporate taxation. Late term abortion. Bending over on trade with China.

You make that very clear. You claim belief in a litany of conservative values that fly dead in the face of what democrats want, yet you make sure to stand far apart from being taken for a conservative! You even call right-wingers crazy! And forget about the GOP. But I've yet to ever see you really come down hard against democrats, Biden, or any of the insane fascist things they are doing, so yep! You are no conservative.

We already knew that.

I provided the examples you requested.

Plenty more available. Immigration? Political correctness? Identity Politics? Single Payer? This stupid college payoff? I'm ready when you are. I'm happy to shove them all down your ignorant throat.

You bitch about me because I'm not a sheep like you. I choose to think for myself. You can't. Tough shit.

"if Trump had won a 2nd term, he would not have withdrawn from Afghanistan in such a weak, reckless, and moronic way Biden did. Biden outrageously blamed the Afghan army, but it was HE who deserted them" - William Barr

You provided jack. One post each saying something mildly in favor of what anyone with common sense SHOULD be in favor of. But it speaks to nothing about the thousands and thousands of other posts I've seen ATTACKING these same issues and those who value them like conservatives.

You are a total FRAUD.

You claim to not be a conservative, not a democrat or a republican, while the reality is I couldn't slide a sheet of typing paper between what YOU say and what democrats believe. For a "moderate", you are 99% progressive/liberal and maybe 1% conservative.

Right down your throat. And I've got plenty more.

I'm not like you, and that rips you up. Tough shit.

"i can to washington to actually fix problems, not just talk about them and then leave them for others to fix, and the drug war problem has been going on for decades" - President Trump to Bill Barr

Trump then proceeded to NOT build the wall

all talk, no action!

A lot more of WHAT, you idiot?! You haven't proven anything!

Wow. Another totally bent leftwing psychotic mental defective nutbag- - - do you actually think I give a crap about you, much less want to BE a total compulsive LIAR like you? Good god, somebody must have REALLY done a number on your head as a child.

Just shut up and try running on accomplishments over fear.

Prior to 2020 who was your boogeyman? Hillary?

Before that? Obama.

Nobody with a brain gives a shit what Barr says or thinks. He's already stated that he'll vote for Agent Orange if he runs again. As if we didn't know that already.

Bill Barf is a two bit lying hack & a disgrace to the position he held & he'll be up Trump's ass if he runs again no matter what he did.

I have a rational hate of incompetence and illiberal activities. I’ve had a very moderate view of Trump that has come more and more in line with understanding he’s dumb and was overly unqualified for the role.

Oh yes, your moderate views of Trump are all over this site….lol

Voters Beware !!!!


Former Attorney General William Barr said that former President Donald Trump was resorting to “extortion” to continue to exert influence over the Republican Party, and said he still hasn’t decided what to make of the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and the government’s recovery of hundreds of pages of classified documents.

In a lengthy interview published Thursday, former New York Times editor Bari Weiss asked Barr why more Republicans did not simply come out and say that Trump’s claims that election fraud had prevented him from winning the 2020 election were, to use Barr's previous word, “bullshit.”

“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” Barr said of his former boss. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

Barr recounted Trump's fury on Dec. 1, 2020, when he learned that his attorney general had given an interview to the Associated Press and told them there was no evidence of widespread election fraud. Trump exploded at Barr over the interview, a clash that reportedly led Barr to tender his resignation on the spot before being convinced by White House counsel Pat Cipollone to wait to announce his departure.

Although Trump once had nothing but public praise for Barr, his has since turned on his former attorney general, calling him a RINO — short for “Republican in name only” — who didn’t “have the courage or stamina to go after voter fraud.”

Weiss asked Barr, who also served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, whether he underestimated “Trump’s disregard for the truth and disregard for the results of the election.”

“I underestimated how far he would take it. I thought on Dec. 14, when I tendered my resignation, the states had all certified the votes. To me, that was it. That was the last stop,” Barr said. “There was no process beyond that which would allow him to challenge the election. I thought it was safe to leave at that point. I was wrong. I did not expect him to take it as far as he did with these very wacky legal theories that no one gave any credence to.”

But Barr’s views on Trump’s actions after the 2020 election are decidedly more sour. He didn’t hold back when Weiss asked what he felt watching the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol unfold.

“I was disgusted and mortified and feeling very angry. I felt this whole thing had hurt the Republican Party and hurt the reputation of the administration even more than before. I was angry about that. Everyone I knew in the administration was angry about that. I also felt that it was just a Keystone Cops exercise. There wasn’t a genuine threat of overthrowing the government, as far as I was concerned, it was just a circus,” Barr said, adding that “the whole thing, to me, was a big embarrassment.”

The riot, Barr said, was “a shameful episode. ... And the president certainly precipitated it.”

As for the current legal standoff between Trump and both the Justice Department and the National Archives, Barr said he is waiting to see what information emerges before he draws a final conclusion about what the government has said was hundreds of pages of classified documents improperly stored at Trump’s Florida estate.

OK, I get it, trump is a criminal piece of shit, but Barr is no innocent bystander, Barr backed up every criminal behavior trump was involved with, up till the very end, when trump ordered the attack to our country on January 6, he was also instrumental in covering up criminal behavior by Bush senior...

Looking forward to it!

Thanks again!

You never post ANYTHING of substance. I replied to your pointless thread. Now, go there and provide some actual info.

I happily shoved that lie down your throat in that thread, with an absolutely independent and original idea that I had posted long ago.

Keep going, liar.

That's not fair. Mac posts plenty of substance. The problem is that he has some pompous ideas of his own self-importance.

Unlike you repeating whatever you hear on hate radio like you had an original idea.

I don’t listen to news talk radio. I am just smarter and more successful than you, thus why I ascribe to Republican ideals, not the Pollyanna, pie in the sky, “free pizza Fridays” nonsense peddled by the Democratic Party.

Now, here is where you refer to me as “Cletus” and accuse me of living in a trailer, because in your small mind, that is the demographic of Republicans in red states, despite demographic FACTS that are quite the opposite.

For a successful person, you seem pretty self-conscious.

You can take the Cleetus out of the Trailer Park, but you can't take the Trailer Park out of Cleetus.

Wow, you and I agree on something. Now if Barr would only shut up.
