Barr reflects on Trump’s occasional rhetoric about killing people

This is a short but very alarming article that I recommend reading in full, but I have a question about the reason William Barr gave for supporting Trump:

In the same interview, the CNN host (Kaitlan Collins) asked, “So just to be clear, you’re voting for someone, who you believe tried to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, that can’t even achieve his own policies, that lied about the election, even after his attorney general told him that the election wasn’t stolen? And as the former chief law enforcement in this country, you’re going to vote for someone who is facing 88 criminal counts?”

Barr initially responded that he takes issue with “a lot” of the pending felony counts pending against the former president.

Collins quickly added, “Even if 10 of them are accurate?” to which Barr again reiterated his support for the Republican Party’s 2024 ticket. Asked how he could justify such a position, the former attorney general, who took a great many steps to unravel the rule of law, said, “The rule of law is unraveling.”

The former attorney general went on to complain that the Biden administration is “telling people what kind of stoves they can use, and what kinds of cars they have to drive, and eliminating cars and so forth. Yes, those are the threats to democracy.”

I didn't know about this, and now I'm worried that I might not be using the right kind of stove! Does any one know which types are acceptable?

2. Didn't you guys get the notice from Biden about your car? I did!

He doesn't like my old Saturn, thinks I should trade it in for a Subaru.

6. You will laugh, but coincidentally enough...

Those were my first 2 cars when I moved back to Canada in 2002. Subaru’s got to be too expensive, I’m 8 years on a Honda CR-V at this point. Those things last forever…

9. I caught Biden going through my closet again...

He said I have too many shoes and he chucked almost all of my corduroy blazers.

3. Cars and ovens? What this guy wants is to be able to destroy the earth and insure that his people make money doing it.

4. Project much Mr. Barr? I think you are definitely deluded

The former attorney general went on to complain that the Biden administration is “telling people what kind of stoves they can use, and what kinds of cars they have to drive, and eliminating cars and so forth. Yes, those are the threats to democracy.”


What a sleaze he is

[robbob]

7. I notice in his list of complaints he didn't mention

“Telling people what kind of health care options they can and can’t have, to the point of risking their lives…”

No no, CARS are so much more important…

5. "The rule of law is unraveling"

And corrupt stooges like Barr had a lot to do with that.

8. "The rule of law is unraveling..."

Says the guy who’s supporting a candidate who’s trying to get totally immunity for any and all crimes he has committed. 🙄

10. What nobody is connecting right now, is that Barr has a long history of

pushing for increasing executive power. This is his wet dream. He may be a little unnerved about who it is that is going to benefit from it.

I wonder if he'll ever get a Robert McNamara moment?

11. Insane that Barr has a voice in the national conversation.

Barr should be investigated and imprisoned for life given what would be found if Barr were not a privileged and protected individual.

The government and legal system in the USA are compromised.

13. Groveling and obsequiousness

still gets you called a fat lazy slob. So what your saying Mr. Attorney General is bend over and take it like a man?

[cstanleytech]

14. Barr fishing for an appointment as a Federal judge perhaps?

[czarjak]

19. Bottom-feeder.

[Johonny]

18. And yet you can still buy any fucking car or stove you want

So his imagined bullshit is more important to him than the real scary shit he knows. Barr is as big a psychopath as Trump.
