MAGA World Turns On Bill Barr Who Resigns As 'The Worst Attorney General In Our Lifetimes'
Something else democrats can agree with trump supporters on.
Barr has been one of the *worst* attorney generals in u.s. history.
@Daniel Ryslink thank you, I wish they’d ( stfu) take their name as their best self advice. They probably get that a lot.
😅🤣
Probably for opposite reasons though. One for finally putting country before their glorious leader, the other for allowing himself to be used by your glorious leader.
Amen brother!
@Quang Ha you’re the last uninvited guest to the “hello, I’m here party”!
Bil Barr should not be forgotten….For his crimes!!!!!!!
My guess is Barr has a pocket pardon.
@Supreme Being I hope so..
@Javier Cervantes You know you sound crazy and just made a LOT of sane people laugh at you.

@Sheep #5491 In 2016 he primed his silly conspiracy driven MAGA when he said if I lose this election it’s rigged and fraud.
Then again in 2020 he said the same thing but lost the election so you can see how gullible his silly supporters who he is
now conning money out of right up until the end. If they only understood the law and courts they would realise propaganda
and disproven conspiracy isn’t real and can’t be used to turn make-believe real.
Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
david clark Gary is a neurotic mess. Too much orange kool aid ingestion
@Gary Quarty I wrote nothing that you wrote. I feel nothing that you feel. You’re a sad, pathetic excuse for a human. That is all.
@FRANKSNAKE71 what an intelligent response you bidenites are brilliant. Wow ,and original ,did you think up troll all by yourself or did a smart person help you?
@Ryan Statt your right I thought I was answering Dave clark. Planned Parenthood kills 1,000 black babies per day. Republicans don’t support that. Can you think of anyone that does support killing 1,000 black babies per day.? I can name a party that is totally on board the originators of the KKK.
@Johnny McMerica where was that? In Bazzaro Land? I heard him everyday saying don’t do anything they say. “It will disappear like magic.” O yes what I said is a REAL quote. No a fake talking point from Trumpland.
Barr worst AG since Sessions. Trump only hires the best…… right?
@Nancy Mojica teehee, crocks.. the fugliest footwear _ever??_
Eric Holder and Loretta Tarmac Lynch say Hi 🙋♀️
Rosen will be another YES MAN for Frump. The people’s trust for politicians has set them back 50 years.
A lot worse than Sessions
Sessions was awful, Barr was worse.
He should go to jail. Talk about inaffective assistance of counsel.
He still might go to jail.
Go to jail huh? Please do enlighten us in all of your legal brilliance, what would the charges be?
Toh yes

oh wow
😊🤦🏼♀️🧧
The “memo” written by this guy was one of the main obstacles in the impeachment of trump. I don’t trust anything he say.
Pelosi and Waters fake impeachment was a joke!
Randy Couch Except trump was impeached. So there is that fact…
Yoh yes

👍💟💟
Dear Barr, yes everyone dies but your STAIN IN HISTORY will live FOREVER AND EVER.
@Victor Gonzalez My man you are beyond ignorant
In infamy… Like Benadict Arnold.
@Thyalwaysseek It sounds like we got what we wished 🤣🤣🤣
@Anonymous Beautifully stated!!
I wonder what prompted him to act and behave the way he did.
Rosen looks just as creepy and spineless as Roger Stone.
… when it’s the time of the year for a 4 week sick leave 😆..,🤧..😷
Just about to say that he looks like Roger’s slightly less evil brother.
A little known fact is when Roger Stone was a child he tripped over and got his head jammed inside a traffic cone.
You can still see the damage that occurred to young Roger’s soft skull.
@Blue fanatical eyes
@Ba Doai 🐂💩…🐑🐑
The right of the American people to peaceably assemble. “Pepper spray is not an irritant”.BBarr despicable.
@Coco Crisp are you in ANY way aware that the Klan are DEMOCRATS??? Probly not, yer not that brite
@Lorraine Armstrong Open you other eye. I would say mind that that is a step too far for you. Loser.
@Lorraine Armstrong Lay off the disinfectant injections. You can’t afford to lose any more brain cells.
@Bill E oh honey, I got your smarts and then some. You aren’t aware that smart people are conservatives, are you? Only Liberals are stooopid, but do choose to shine on, yes?
@Bill E you have issues being stupid do you? So sorry, I really do NOT have that issue and NEVER have. But then, you don’t sound like the smertist cat around . . . .
Congressman Buck: “Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?”
Robert Mueller: “Yes.”
@Bonnie Simpson What an imagination but It’s pretty evident it’s you that has daddy issues .Or was it step daddy?
@David Roberts Trump’s hand pick attorney general gave him a pass. Maybe there is nothing there. We should have facts like I gave you not political rumors when we decide to destroy people. I listen to and watch ABC, NPR, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and the journalist like Shepard, and Wallace. Why do you keep asking about the Biden’s. Not fans of Biden either. But at least he did not start a university to defraud college kids of their tuition. And as I native New Yorker I personally know contractors and subcontractors who went bankrupt because Trump never paid his debts. And as I tax payer I don’t like my tax dollars going to pay the bills for a 7 time bankrupt “billionaire”. Never need CNN for those facts they are within dispute.
Quit feeding the troll, unless you genuinely find it satisfying. Jump through his hoops at your peril.
Yes very true and people should check, Mueller left the door open to go after Trump once he was out of power and had lost
his Presidential immunity. Mueller when asked by the court if Trump could or should be charged for obstruction once out of
power said YES, and he held back the financial investigation that could now go forward to.
@Gary Quarty Have a merry Christmas and it’s very easy to fact check and even watch Mueller when being asked
by the court if once Trump is out of power and no longer has immunity could or should he be charged for obstruction etc.
Mueller without hesitation says YES and remember Mueller held back the financial investigation so that could now go
ahead to.
MAGA cultists have acknowledged the truth for the first time ever, even if for pathetic stupid reasons. He WAS the worst AG in our lifetimes.
@Will YoujustSTFU Let me guess again: that Barr was one of the fixers of Trump, who helped him dodge impeachment bullets, but who now is persona non grata because he has a limit to the madness he is willing to enable?
@Chris of STARS yawn
@Will YoujustSTFU Sure did. But did you bother to find out why? Most were sentenced to massive sentences for minor infractions under unconstitutional state legislature. You need to work on your arguments or STFU.
@Will YoujustSTFU Incorrect. President Obama used his power to grant executive clemency 1,927 times. Of that number, 1,715 were commutations of sentencing and 212 were pardons. A majority of the sentences that Obama commuted were for drug related crimes, which usually carry lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentencing guidelines.
https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency-statistics
@Will YoujustSTFU I see you are really upset and badly hurting. It’s Christmas forget about Trump and enjoy Christmas.
You can return to trolling and crying in the new year and if you feel really sad about Trump losing you can always send
him some money. Have a merry Christmas cupcake and I suppose for you it will be a very SAD new-year.
Barr and Guiliani can share a cell wouldn’t that be interesting.
For what?
@Will YoujustSTFU little Russian troll much?
@Will YoujustSTFU How sweet of you to stand up for Don the Con and I hope you sent him some money
as a Christmas present as he really needs it so him and his minions can line their pockets while laughing
at you.
Toh yes

oh wow
It would likely be Biden and Kamala!
Two facts that are indisputable: Bill Barr is not an attorney and The Flintstones is not a documentary.
Ahh, HAHAHA very funny. Thank you!
_That’s_ who he looks like!
There should be a deep fake of Barr saying “yabba dabba doo!”
Barr may well be charged in future with crimes against humanity.
Add Trump’s name along with some of his cult-like followers of his administration. Drain the swamp!
Highly doubtful. He may get caught in the whole Mueller investigation if somehow gets brought up again. Crimes against humanity is a pretty broad charge and would be very hard to prove. BARR IS A PROFESSIONAL LIAR, they would have to pin him down with significant evidence.
@Ros Ver RIGHT he has been around since the 80s he will now take his pension buy a huge home and hide out. Like they all do. HA where is Paul Ryan? Its the way it works.
@weantoine I agree with you usually but I doubt the Biden administration and the American people are going to let Trump and his staff off so easily.
You are right that seems to be status quo but I WOULD SAY LOOK AT THE STATUS QUO not to be followed in this case.
I can’t see how they would just let all this go and EXPECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE to have faith in the government or in the Democrat party.
If they do it will comeback to bite them in the butt because this will set a precedent for future government officials and staff that they can do whatever they want without any consequences or recourse.
The evidence against President Trump in the impeachment trial was irrefutable and overwhelming.
He doesn’t care about his legacy after he dies. But he isn’t dead yet; he has to live with his failures every single day until he is. Happy holidays, Mr. Failure!
That’s the Christmas spirit.
Bill Barrs misconduct
https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2020/09/injustice-tracking-bill-barrs-misconduct-as-attorney-general/
I mean…yes, he is the worst attorney general in our lifetimes. They’re just mad because he wasn’t quite bad _enough_ for them.
So true. They are mad because Bill Barr wouldn’t hand Trump the election regarding the Hunter Biden investigation and voter fraud.
Yes so true
Doh yes

Nixon’s Attorney General was charged, convicted and locked-up, he didn’t get anywhere even CLOSE to how screwed-up Barr is.
Orange man bad
@SweetandSour Trump’s atrocities, so far
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-complete-listing-so-far-atrocities-1-1-004
Because the Republicans back then still had integrity.
@SweetandSour So bad he lost the election to Biden. 😆
oh yes

oh wow
OOOOooo. Last word of the Month was “travesty”. Now the word is “Disgrace” ”Disgraceful” Disgracefully” “Disgraced”, etc. LOL
Yes Barr was a horrible AG, but the whole Trump administration has been a frigging train wreck and all will be swept into the dumpster on January 20
I agree. Can’t wait stay safe.
No, Biden will do nothing to sweep them into the dumpster. They need to be punished for their traitorous behavior.
@John Burnside RIGHT Biden will do nothing. This is politics. Happens all day long. Nasty world.
@John Burnside It’s not up to Biden, it’s up to the new AG. Biden will stay away from the DOJ, as it is intended by the constitution.
Toh yes
