1. So confusing

Does Barr think people will forget everything he did for Trump?

[RockRaven]

2. No. He doesn't care about *Trump* and never has. He cares about right wing authoritarian GOPism.

It was never about Trump-the-person for Barr. Dolt45 was always just an avatar, a placeholder, and embodiment. It was always about Republican partisanship, FOXNews-boosted liberal-conspiracy fever-dreams, and a yearning for a fascist god-king. The minute Trump can't deliver, he's expendable. Trump was a tool, not a cause. For Barr anyhow. MAGAts may differ.

9. Trump was their authoritarian beta test.

They learned a great deal. The next model won't have all of the bugs and will complete the job.

12. Agreed. We have alot of work ahead of us to safeguard our democracy.

[RockRaven]

14. This is why we cannot afford for Biden to mimic Nixon-Ford or Bush-Obama.

The Repukes take it further every time because there are no real consequences when they subvert the rule of law. Time after time, no comeuppance...

Holding Trump and Trumpists accountable before the Repukes find a *competent* Trump is essential.

17. I think that there are a bunch who will

It is amazing to me to see all these TrumpHumpers running for cover every which way as the end is coming........
They will go all out saying: I was just following orders, Just like all the German Nazis and SS members.
Didn't work for them, I hope it doesn't work for Trump and the rest of the Republican's

3. What made any of these people think they'd leave Trump's orbit unsullied and unscathed?

8. But you more than anyone here have surely listened to his old speeches and read his writings.

He is a true Christian Dominant believer. Wants America ruled by biblical standards.

He used trump as far as he could and now could give a shit. Got the supremes he wanted

This is one guy who doesn’t care about his legacy. He is doing this for his place in heaven

I think he has always detested trump. And it makes him the most dangerous of all of them.. He has openly admitted he is no fan of true democracy.

All the people on DU that think he is about to get his comeuppance are totally missing his big picture thinking.

[Hekate]

13. Christian Dominionist. Those are very dangerous, authoritarian, anti-democratic people...

...who have been playing the long game for two generations now. Barr played the part of an institutionalist as long as it served his ends, and when he got where he wanted to go, the veil dropped. He’s intelligent. Trump is deranged, but Barr is not.

As my husband points out, the guy who runs for potus after Trump won’t be stupid and won’t be deranged — he’ll be an intelligent fascist, perhaps Pompeo.

4. Wasn't he big on the whole "unitary executive" or whatever?

I’m thinking that’s suddenly not going to apply when Biden steps in.

[Progressive Jones]

6. That's a big deal with the hard right elites. Heritage Foundation types.

They want a President who is more like a king.

[Kablooie]

7. They only want a *Republican* president who has the power of a king.

A Democratic president should have as little power as possible and they will do everything they can to ruin his control.

[Progressive Jones]

10. But of course. They only want Republicans, period.

I also think they are poised to try and steal what's left of the Republican party.
Most of those who've entered the House and Senate in recent years are politically ignorant rubes.
The Gohmerts, and Goetzes, and Jordans are dummies with strong backs who are pawns in the
Everlasting Coup Attempt.

Barr is a legal/political hit man who goes all the way back to Reagan. He's the one who kept that fucking traitor Ollie North out of prison, among others. I wouldn't doubt that he, or his ilk, have been behind all of this "Stop The Steal" bullshit, and the lawsuits.

It's about the WH. It's not about Trump. Trump is expendable. They can, and would, "remove" him
when his usefulness runs out, if they were able to hang on to the presidency.

5. "Barr Turns On Trump"? Did he spank him with a rolled up Time Person Of The Year magazine?

[UTUSN]

11. Not confusing, he's a Catholic-Sharia-Fundie who was using DRUMPF for his own purposes.

Neither one of them will be shamed by the mutual humiliations.

[yuiyoshida]

15. okay i will say it...

"Fuck em both!! "

[Ohio Joe]

19. +1 - nt

[C Moon]

16. I actually thought McConnell was smarter than to go for the last attempt at a coup.

It's now looking like Moscow Mitch has some skeletons that need continued hiding behind Trump.
Or maybe it's because they know the GOP will lose the senate this January, after the Georgia vote.

21. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[orleans]

18. fuck barr and trump

they can go fall off a cliff, hand in hand, in the sunset

[uponit7771]

20. Barr's too bloated to jump ship, he's never going to get the stench of Trump off of him

[RAB910]

22. Barr is your more typical right-wing Republican

He viewed Trump as nothing more than a useful tool to push his anti-American agenda. Trump himself was never someone that Barr (or those like him) care for
