Weissmann: The Contrast Between Barr & Garland Is As Strong As The Contrast Between Trump And Biden
Bravo. Honest, honorable and from the heart. It’s time to move on and this is the -man- person to take the lead
@Jerry P how’s the weather in Moscow?
@Richard Whipple how’s the weather in Wuhan
@Jerry P lol, I thought flat Earthers were the stupidest people on Earth. Thank you for proving me wrong
@Endymos no CCP Biden supporters are. You’ll be crying soon enough!
@Jerry P MAGA tears.
Hopefully Merrick Garland will investigate Trump, Don Jr., Guilliant, Mo Brooks, Hawley, Cruz, and anyone else who was involved in the terrorist attack.
@Paul Drusbasky put…down…the…alcohol
@Paul Drusbasky you mean Trump is a criminal. Trump is a criminal. I think thats what you mean. The term criminal is pretty broad, what is it Trump did that you think was criminal?
Yes absolutely!
@Paul Drusbasky MAGA tears.
george butler – Okay. Now get huh it. Sense making not is it required.
SOME DECENT PEOPLE in charge again !
What are his old rulings like?
@R Torres Compared to the man who helped cover up Iran Contra?
THANK THE LORD AMERICA ISN’T GOING TO LOOSE IT’S LIGHT AFTER EVERYTHING IT’S GONE THROUGH. THERE’S THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
This is a great day for a very sick America.
The contrast is the same as between Evil and Good.
Is it similar to the contrast of rotten and fresh?
So sad that he didn’t get SCOTUS hearing in 2016.
AG for now, SCOTUS later.
Turns out fate may have put judge Garland in the right office at just the right time “amori fati”
They say things happen for a reason. This position may be how he serves us better. God bless Merrick Garland.
Amen on steroids
Trump republicans, do you really think the majority of us want to return to the way you cons ran things? Really?
@TY just go to Maralago and play golf with him because that’s what he always does,… oh wait,. you peasants are not allowed to get inside lol
@neil AThat’s because all they know is HATE, they don’t have an ounce of love.
@Baby Teano Neither can you get anywhere close to your boy Joe Biden. Baby!
@neil A Not one minute.
@TY It’s called “democracy” TY; A system of government by the WHOLE population. Take off your dirty white glasses.
The Republicans OWE Garland this. Period.
Totally.
I hate it when men make me cry. He’s a good man, and he’ll do his job well, and Biden will not interfere.
How could you hate it when men cry? Were you around crybabies or something? There is nothing wrong with men crying, it’s when they are sociopathic is what you should worry about.
@Jerry P more like troll blood pressure is raising. Enjoy the next 4 years son, I know I will. Ha ha ha
@Endymos so you support the CCP
What a disservice to this country that he was denied the seat on the Supreme Court by the likes of Moscow Mitch.
SURE
Update— after GOP obstruction Merrick Garland poised to run DOJ
Pretty clear to me the GOP doesn’t have much respect for our Democracy. They associate with thugs like CONald Dfrump and company and defy honorable ppl like Merrick and other wise weaken it anyway they can. They’re too partisan to lead or serve anymore.
Unlike trumps grandfather leaving Germany to avoid military service! as Trump did. Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!!Barr’s loyalty was to a person, not the country! Garland is exactly what we need right now!!!
Wait, did he leave Germany to avoid fighting for the nazis? Cuz that wouldn’t exactly be a bad thing.
@The Unspoken
No he left Germany in 1885. He emigrated to avoid fulfilling his mandatory military service. Bavarian authorities stripped him of his Bavarian citizenship. Fredrich Trump and his family returned to the United States. He became a U.S. citizen in 1892, with the help of a few anchor babies.
He first immigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and started working as a barber. Several years later, in 1891, he moved to the Northwest. He made his fortune by operating a restaurant and a brothel in Canada
As it turns out, Germany wasn’t sending their best.
(Their best had to escape Nazi persecution and contribute to America’s scientific infrastructure)
Right on Claire! Calling out Cruz & Hawley like that for the slimeballs they are.
CLAIR…You RULE! FANTASTIC RECOGNIZING OF PAST-PRESIDENTS UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN! I WILL SLEEP TONIGHT LIKE I HAVE NEVER SLEPT BEFORE SINCE THIS CRIMINAL ENDANGERED OUR DEMOCRACY! WOW!
Showboaters, showboating for Fox and News Max. Slime balls of the highest degree.
J. Edgar Hoover vs. Al Capone = Merrick Garland vs. White Supremacists
Define whites supremacist
@Jerry P
a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that those of the white race should have control over people of other races even when whites are the numerical and or democratic minority, or not in an official capacity of authority.
@RJCHOICE anybody you know
Merrick Garland vs Mitch McConnell
@Jerry P You.
Finally a A.G. with Honor, Integrity, a heart for right. Of course Rep dont want that. Idiots
This man went through so much, should have been a Supreme Court Judge but was screwed by the Republicans. He truly deserve to be the next AG. Merrick Garland is a man of decency and integrity
Being humble, honest and fair..Americans need him.
precisely why the GOP wont confirm him on March 1, 2021.
My god, that man could have been on the Supreme Court. Instead we got Mr “I like Beer!”. Its horrifying.
It’s heartbreaking to look back. But looking forward, as he said, it’s the “highest, best” use of his gifts.
That’s the difference! No more “I like beer” and sexual violence allegations, no more “The boss cannot be investigated “ editorial job applications, a man of justice and moral integrity.
Mr Garland knows what discrimination is all about among other things , I have no doubt that he will be one of the greatest Attorneys General ever ! ! !
The difference between Barr and Garland, is Barr is a corrupt and Garland is not corrupt
Sounds like Vindman..so sad these people with integrity were enemies of the Executive Branch under Drumpf
Vindman table wines or tablewear? lol.. its a good brand name for the high fallutin.
Absolutely – and the way Garland and Vindman have been treated by men not fit to shine their shoes is absolutely deplorable!
Vindman deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom … unlike that nasty, now-dead Limbaugh.
I know, that was unkind … but I gotta tell it like I see it.
