1. Hopefully flat on his back in his bed hacking up a lung.

[smirkymonkey]

44. I find that visual very comforting.

Sorry, I have no compassion for this excuse of a man.

[hedda_foil]

2. Yes! There is a god!

[DUgosh]

3. Didn't he state earlier - he would not?

Nt

[LisaL]

11. Just yesterday he was saying he would not.

So why start now?

[sheshe2]

20. My guess is he tested positive....

and even his honor is not at all honest, as we well know. So who knows.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

33. Yep

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

35. I suspect this as well.

They are all liars, and Barr is near the top of the liars list, just below Trump.

[sheshe2]

36. You are correct.

Welcome to DU, Roisin.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

40. Thanks!

[sheshe2]

41. You are welcome.

[Tanuki]

42. I love your screen name!

Failte!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

43. Go raibh maith agat!

47. I love the sound of Irish when I hear it. I wish I could pronounce it when...

... I see it. Can you tell me how to pronounce this?

4. Does that mean he is positive or experiencing symptoms ?

[ananda]

6. My question exactly.

..

[ffr]

14. No, he tested negative earlier today.

Saw that tweeted by one of the news sources a couple hours ago.

[LisaL]

16. Were they using one of those rapid tests on him?

Those are not highly accurate. Something clearly changed, as he was refusing to self-quarantine.

[ffr]

26. Time will tell if he croaks tomorrow, but FWIW

Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said Sunday that Mr. Barr has had four COVID-19 tests since Friday and that all four have come back negative.

[frazzled]

18. Everyone who has had exposure to a positive COVID case must

must self-quarantine for 14 days, whether testing negative or not. That’s been the rule since the beginning of the pandemic.

[LisaL]

21. Yes, but he was saying he wasn't going to do it.

And he wasn't doing it. Why start now?

[frazzled]

27. Maybe someone told him "or else"

How the heck would I know what goes through their minds.

[JI7]

23. But he said he was not going to quarantine so why did he decide to now ?

[LisaL]

25. Exactly.

He said he wasn't going to quarantine and was not quarantining for days after he knew he was exposed. All of the sudden he decides to go into quarantine? Why?

[yonder]

5. Bless his heart.

Enlarged as it might be.

[moonscape]

38. What heart? n/t

[yonder]

45. I'm not from the South but understand that term is

sarcastically used when you don't necessarily mean it. Maybe I should stick with the language from my area.

So, fuck him.

[moonscape]

46. Naw, you're fine. I grew in the South so know and

have used the expression a lot

My comment was riffing on ‘Heart’ which I find impossible to comprehend how it could exist in that host.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Another old fat guy...

Don't know whether it's just precautionary because of exposure or if he's actually tested positive, though.

[LisaL]

15. He was recently saying he was not going to quarantine. So, what changed?

8. I hope he's really really sick

And terrified.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

9. Not Covid-related. Turns out he just found the bags of Reese's cups his wife bought for Halloween.

[JI7]

12. lol

[MizLibby]

10. Good idea

28. Did Kellanne get new um, kidneys when she got her face lift?

I don't remember her being that "robust"?

[58Sunliner]

31. I know. If I was her, breast augmentation would have been low on the list of improvements.

[yellowcanine]

39. Don:t know but Billy boy seems to be checking.

[Blue Owl]

13. DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER

No more enabling/furthering of Deranged Donny.

This shitshow needs to end -- NOW.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Where? Russia?

[Retrograde]

19. Thoughts and prayers

I'm not going to say what I'm thinking or praying for, though

[58Sunliner]

22. Gee, that's too bad. I wish him a speedy progression.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. lol! I see what you did there

[58Sunliner]

30. I've heard people make amazing progress in 3-4 days, from a fever to intubation in no time at all.

[essme]

29. I don't give a shit, do you?

I hope that jackwit has everything coming to him.

Does he have a twitter account? I am going to make one and send him a tweet.

Fuck him.

[Enterstageleft]

32. I hope he's quaranting in...

a air-tight coffin.

I'll even buy it for him.

[WyattKansas]

34. Maybe there was an insurrection at the Justic Department or...

Barr had to immediately do a file dump and rearrange personnel to leave his 'yes man' in charge during his absence?

I'm going with file dump and 'yes man' left in charge.

[still_one]

37. He has to be experiencing symptoms

[crickets]

48. Yep. At this point, he may not want to go anywhere. nt

[LisaL]

49. I also wonder what test he is using.

Rapid test isn't as accurate as a PCR test, and could be giving false negatives.
The fact that's all of the sudden he changed his mind about quarantining clearly indicates something changed from the time he refused to quarantine and now.
I guess we will find out soon enough if he got covid.
