become a political hack. I know nothing about him. Maybe he was a scumbag prior to working for Trump? We live is in very weird times these days. The definition of what it means to be American will be redefined after this shitshow of a Presidency.

crimes of Reagan officials. His specialty is playing fixer to cover up Republican crimes:

Here’s why: The most significant single act of Barr’s career in the Department of Justice was to advise President George H.W. Bush to pardon six officials from Ronald Reagan’s administration, including Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, for crimes associated with the Iran-Contra affair. At the time, Barr was — you guessed it — attorney general. His recommendation gave Bush the cover he needed to issue the pardons.

He truly believes he is doing gods work trying to bring America back to the day when the Bible ruled our behavior. As if such a time ever existed.

Read his speeches and writings. Quite open about wanting government to enforce his idea of a moral order.

He sees nonbelievers and believers who strongly believe in separation of church and state as an existential threat to America.

He care nothing for reputation and will be there at the end even if means prison.

He is way more dangerous than trump because he is smart enough to actually scheme rather than reacting like a mad man.

I will be shocked if the two stooges arrested today are here to testify. They will either be gone from the country or just gone.
