For those on the left getting on the Barr Bandwagon

While he does have issues with Trump, he also has issues with the lefties and some of their methods and attacks on Trump:

Yes, Barr Focuses on Trump, but He Also Dissects the Many Problems With the Far Left

Some choice excerpts:

“Some liberal and progressive commentators suggested that our polarizing politics was somehow the consequence of an upsurge in right-wing extremism,” Mr. Barr writes, “but no sentient person could take that seriously.”

He observes: “Liberal democratic ideals — strict limits on governmental power, individual rights, press freedom, religious liberty — were framed within the great Anglo-American tradition and are the life’s blood of our Republic.” Mr. Barr offers that this tradition was “painstakingly wrought over many centuries from a rich amalgamation of influences,” among them classical philosophy, Christian precepts, “Anglo-Saxon folkways,” the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and the common law.

“Under liberal democracy,” he writes, “it is not the role of the state to use its coercive power to remake man and society according to some abstract conception of perfection.”

The modern left, the former attorney general concludes, has an “incipient totalitarian style” that is “poisoning America’s political life.” The left has adopted “the same kind of revolutionary and totalitarian ideas that propelled the French Revolution, the Communists of the Russian Revolution, and the Fascists of twentieth-century Europe.”

In sum: “Radical progressivism’s core idea is that there is a preordained scheme of natural earthly perfection toward which man and society must be led inexorably by the march of history.”

His kiss-and-tell book holds no interest for me really. If he was that appalled by the blob, he should have resigned days after taking the job.

The only thing I would want to know is why he said there was "no collusion" when there clearly was as was reported by his own justice department.

That's a lot of words to say dems are enemies of the Republic.

He could have just said this and have been done with it:

"The modern left has an incipient totalitarian style that is poisoning America’s political life. The left has adopted the same kind of revolutionary and totalitarian ideas that propelled the French Revolution, the Communists of the Russian Revolution, and the Fascists of twentieth-century Europe.”

That's pretty spot-on and you have to like how he called the dems Nazis without doing so.

He does seem to be a bit long winded, but when you are trying to fill a book, it can happen.

Barr has all the appeal of the mop at a gay bath house. The time to act like he has a conscience was back when it might have made a difference.

You STILL believe in the Russiagate hoax that has been thoroughly debunked. Wow!

Yet you have the nerve to call Trumpers delusional. Lol.

Fuck Bill Barr.

Maybe he should write a children's book using that quote then.....The dem's heads exploding would be something to see.

Bill Barr is just another bought and paid-for bureaucrat.

Sir, how exactly are you defining "being on the Barr bandwagon?"

Here's his bandwagon, and lasting legacy. Trumpyberra owes him Bigly. FPOS.

"It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office, deliberately abusing the public trust without consequences," said Lawrence Walsh, the independent prosecutor in the case, at the time of the pardons.

Once a Toady always a Toady or History repeats itself because we never learn.



Then-Attorney General Barr supported the president's decision in the Iran-Contra case, which gave clemency to people who had been officials in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He had been set to go on trial to face charges about lying to Congress.

To the man who led the Iran-Contra investigation, however, the pardons represented a miscarriage of justice.

"It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office, deliberately abusing the public trust without consequences," said Lawrence Walsh, the independent prosecutor in the case, at the time of the pardons.

Barr is obviously a staunch partisan Republican. I thought he was far too polarizing and political to be AG. But the fact a guy like that who had the inside track on the inner workings of Trumps admin is now saying the things he is saying about Trump… well it just further solidifies the joke of a leader that man was and what a circus his administration was.

How I defined it. Typical progs will jump at anything anti-trump without thinking.

I'm asking you sir. So how did you define it?

I gave examples, if you can't figure it out from them, it's on you.
