Most scary revelation tonight. Rachel's segment on the history behind Barr, the AG nominee.

His history regarding Iran Contra...I did not recall his involvement but he should have been disBarred.

It appears that the GOP is and has been a lawless band of treasonous bastards concerned only about their own wealth and power and their ability to make the lives of those they despise (the poor, minority, LBGTQ, female) miserable. Like a parasite that needs to suck the life blood out of the less fortunate to survive. They consider themselves above any and all laws and their is not end to their corruption and greed.

You would remember that George HW Bush was one of Nixon's gofers in dealing with Agnew.

Yeah, these guys are treasonous bastards.

History.
Sociology.
Psychology. etc. (law)
Above all Political Science. (Which twists all the above together.)
Lot's of stupid gop getting their body politic(s) from fox news( ) The history is what sends up the red flags once you know what to look for. You can't get a Poli-sci degree from cable news...especially fox.

GOP learned they can get away with crimes:
Iran Contra
Vietnamese collusion (Nixon)
Torture
Too big to fail
Stolen Bush v Gore election

We let them off the hook and they learned they wouldn’t be punished. That helped us get here.

I want the next pres to go back and investigate torture and the bank bailouts. I want individuals prosecuted.
