Refreshing to learn about Barr and his steadfast ability to withstand political gales around him regardless of sides. Unfortunately those like him rarely succeed in party politics.

I remember logic puzzles, answering questions like '2 liars are talking ... which one to believe?'. During the Trump era no one in the Trump administration has been trustworthy, NOTHING any Trump appointee has said can be believed. Trump, Barr, Pompeo etal have long been recognized as completely dishonest males. I cannot believe a single word coming from anyone in the Trump administration.

Barr was a weasel and always will be. Even weasels have limits toward the fascist and military state Trump wants.
bass4funk
No, more of the establishment are concerned, here we go with more of the msm press floating this crap around.
Actually, it’s the people that are encouraging the President to fight on which he most definitely should.

Remember 'being Munson'd from Kingpin?' From now on a bad loser in anything will be referred to as being a Trump.

Trump is surrounding himself with those who prop up his election conspiracies.
Why should he fight? He lost soundly in a free and fair election. Just because he doesn't like the result doesn't mean that he shouldn't concede. Trump is a sore loser losing his battle with reality.

The level of crazy in the White House is getting to the point where even Trump's most loyal lapdogs say "enough"....
Even Pompeo said the other day that the massive cyberattack was very likely Russia...contradicting Trump...
Later this week expect Pence to say "The Kraken isn't coming"...
Then Melania will announce that "I really don't care", and file for divorce...

Michael Cohen knows his client of 10 years very well - he sees this "its rigged" scam for what it is....
"This is a cash grab. He knows that his next saga of his story is really going to be predicated around a Trump news network. It’s why he’s fighting with Fox every day. He’s looking to steal their base. From them, he just wants $4.99 a month. And for that $4.99 a month, you get to listen to all the bulls&*# and all the far-right-wing conspiracies that Donald Trump can dream up. That’s what he’s going to sell you. That’s $100 million a month, $1.2 billion a year. That’s going to pay for the gas in his 757.”

BINGO!

Merry Christmas to you as well.
Saw that, yes and when you’re a small growing network and don’t have the millions to defund yourself in any major law defamation suit and a gun to my head, I’ll say whatever you want as well. I get it.

Well said
This hit the never of the blind liberals... Your post may not have long life here.. it may be removed or edited soon.

Maybe in future they'll print stuff that's absolutely bona fide and will stand up to scrutiny in court.

And somewhere in Alabama, Jeff Sessions is saying; "See Bill, I told you he was crazy and that you'd regret it"...
bass4funk
Circumstances were very different, everyone including myself at the time thought Trump couldn’t win, even TIME magazine had already printed Hillary as the first women elected President and the left learned that mistake and were set not to allow that to happen again and they lived up to that promise so far.
ROFL, uh-huh....
All of law enforcement snd all of the fossil fuel workers and UAW workers just suddenly switched their votes and decided to just vote for Biden...yeah, sure....lol
Because they know China is the bigger threat.

Barr's distancing himself from Trump after having used him to get the judges and justices Koch and the Federalist Society approved. Trump's yesterday's tissue. A loser.
lincolnman
Much like Nixon, who also believed all his friends, staff, and supporters all turned against him, Trump is now wandering the halls of the White House at night, talking to the pictures on the wall...
He did make a change though, he took down the pictures of Washington and Lincoln and replaced them with Stalin and Putin - he thinks he can get better advice from them...
bass4funk
No, Barr is leaving, that would make sense, can’t be next to someone when you’re off the job. What’s wrong with the Koch brothers In the federal society?, They promote conservative causes, just as George Soros in Basil’s in Bloomburg promote and fund liberal policies. May the best billionaire win.

Another network called Fox News had to run the video as well. On 3 separate shows. Lou Dobbs was one of them. Guess they just didn't have the cash to fight a giant like SmartMatic.
lincolnman
My, my....who does that leave still riding the Trump Crazy Train?
Mitch said clearly this week; "Donald, you lost"...
Pompeo has now gone underground since saying Russia was behind the cyber attack, and Pence ducked out of seclusion to get his vaccine then disappeared again...
Oh, that's right...Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell - one who pals around with Russians then lies under oath about it, and the other who thinks Hugo Chavez who has been dead for seven years is still walking around stealing votes... Both who support a military coup...
The White House Asylum needs more attendants in white coats...
bass4funk
Yes, so if the executives tell Dobbs to refute that into void a lawsuit, that’s what he’s going to do especially with the new management that’s trying to drive the networks to a more liberal left stance.
PTownsend
But remember, Fox is not really a news channel, it's an entertainment channel, like a Cartoon Network for poorly educated adults.

Well, I hope Trump gets the hint from Barr, but I'm sure he won't....
Donald, your friends, colleagues, staff members, and all of America are saying; "Just Leave".....
Give America the Christmas present it wants and deserves - when you leave the White House tomorrow to spend the holiday at Mar-A-Lago, just say; "I ain't coming back"...
I guarantee you you'll get more people applauding than at all your rallies put together...
bass4funk
She didn’t have to deal with an election like this one, again, nobody anticipated that Trump will win The Dems are going to make sure that wasn’t going to happen again.
I never said that.
Uh-huh...lol and they just decided to go for Biden, just in a blink of an eye tossed out all the Trump flags, had an Epiphany and decided, I’m going to vote for Joe? Sure. ROFL.
The vast majority though
Barr is entitled to his opinion as Trump is entitled to his. First of all, you liberals call the man a Trump Lackey and now all of a sudden you guys are saying we should respect his opinion, you guys are so all over the place, it’s just annoying. Lol
lincolnman
Well Mr Barr, maybe you should have appointed a Special Prosecutor to look into all those dead people voting...
*Officials find a case of a dead person voting, accusing *a Republican of pretending to be his dead mom to vote for Trump...

Trump supporters are waiting for the Kremlin to tell them that. They've long said they don't trust the US government and 'western' intelligence agencies.
SuperLib
Yep. That's what anyone would do if they knew they were going to lose millions in a high profile court case because they spread misinformation.
Their news desk isn't that bad. They still have Wallace but it's too bad they lost Shep. It creates kind of a funny format where their news desk reports no evidence of fraud then their primetime entertainment division says the exact opposite.
I guess it really just comes down to which time of day you watch/read Fox.
plasticmonkey
Who said they suddenly switched their votes? You have evidence that this happened?
Occam's razor: the explanation that's right in front of your nose. Mail-in ballots were counted last, as decided by the state legislatures ahead of time. More Democrats voted by mail, which everyone already knew. Urban areas have more ballots to count. Urban areas tend to be more Democratic.
No mystery here.
Trump lost. Suck it up. It's reality.

Barr stated there was no major election frauds. The Homeland Security.FBI.
This isn't about opinions. It's about facts. There was no major election fraud. That is a fact, not an opinion. Trump can have his own opinions, but he can't have his own facts.
bass4funk
Yeah, we believe it. Sure.....lol, but yeah, the media keeps trying to shove that down our throats
But still definitely the vast majority supported Trump over Biden.
"Partisans Differ Widely in Views of Police Officers, College Professors"
Barr never said that, demand to conclude that they were irregularities, which is far different from wanting to appoint a special counsel
PTownsend
I'll take your word for it. But I won't click on anything that's connected or has ever been connected in any way with Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch's media empire is as almost as bad as Putin's. And that of Julian Sinclair Smith (Sinclair Broadcasting)

McConnell's a user. He doesn't care; he knows Trump's worth no more than a discarded tissue. Plus McConnell will be too old to run in 2026 so he doesn't have to worry about party help.
Trump's yesterday to McConnell. And anyone with the ability to reason beyond a 7 year old's level.
ulysses
Barr hasn't discovered integrity, he is cunning enough to realize that the trump wagon is off the rails!!!

Since raving lunatics are trump advisors now, anyone with a smattering of sense is smart to abandon him!!!
