Stupid is Still..."STUPID"... and Bill Barr is very stupid.

Barr says that "Pepper Spray" is NOT a chemical irritant." and those words prove he is very stupid.
Yes, there are stupid people out there, and when you think you have seen them all...there are more..
Bill Barr's statement today proves that the current Attorney General of the United States of America is very stupid. Also, he thinks he can get away with that lie, and that is also stupid. Barr will not get away with that lie....................................

I have a can of bear spray right here, pretty much what was used in DC and elsewhere, let's see you stand there while I hose you down with it, hmmm?

It's really nasty stuff and will render one helpless without the ability to breathe as they inhale it, eyes burning and nausea along with it. Very painful stuff and it can kill you in large doses like those clouds of it in DC the other day.

I think we are in for an ugly summer.

I posted this earlier. Linking in case you missed it.
OC & PAVA are actually worse than "tear gas".
So, when you say nasty stuff, you aren't exaggerating!

I was tear gassed in that very spot back when Nixon was there, protested more than twice there back then... the stuf in use now is probably far worse than it was then. We seemed to have a kind of sensibility about gas back then. Now, they are out for dead bodies when anything is deployed, it's all antipersonnel.

He's a very smart but evil guy with an authoritarian agenda. Do not make the mistake of assuming he's stupid when what he's doing is just lying. He knows exactly what he's saying and he knows it's a lie but he's pitching a line to Trump's base, who will believe it because they are stupid. And Barr, being very smart and very evil, knows that.

He's both.
He's a liar & a moron.
He just glommed on to the right people early in his career.
Remember, Scalia was called a brilliant legal mind. Originalism is the philosophy of a very stupid person who thinks they're smart.
Same with Barr.
We agree he's a liar. We disagree on him being smart.

But now he's got all of Fat Nixon's dumbshit followers saying it's not an irritant... that's devious, manipulative, etc., but not stupid.

18. An important idea: Bill Barr thinks he can get away with saying, "Pepper Spray is Not an Irritant"

...Even Republicans will know that is a lie. It is a complete and total lie.....and...it could prove to be a turning point in this whole discussion. Because of this reason..The Attorney General is supposed to be a leading advocate for the .."TRUTH IN LEGAL
MATTERS"......Some Republicans could see this as a worse lie than any told by Trump..After all, the Attorney General of the
United States should know the legal definition of ..."Pepper Spray"...and know that it can hurt people.

Therefore, Barr abandons his job to please his owner, Mr. Trump. Barr may have done more to hurt the republican party, than anyone else.. ....

And, thinking that he can get away with that lie, (that is obvious,) is even worse.. Just like Trump, Barr thinks he can get away with anything and never be held accountable.....That idea coming out of a person who is supposed to be a..."LEGAL LEADER, AND INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUAL"...will turn some legal scholars against the team of Trump/Barr. Some legal scholars will prove beyond doubt that it is a lie, and that could hurt the republican party with some lawyers who admire the "TRUTH".. Even if they are die in the wool republicans, legal scholars all over the country could turn against the team of Trump/Barr...

...We have seen many examples of life long republicans turning against their party, and I do believe this one comment from the Attorney General will increase the numbers those who will leave the party for this one election. Biden needs to say little with liars like Barr and Trump in charge..
