by Noah Attorney General William Barr's reputation is in freefall but history is filled with bootlicking architects of fascist dictatorships just like him. They are true believers. They care not at all for their reputations. Whatever temporary success they gain, they will take. And they will gain whatever we give them. I've always said that when the scum among us rise to the top, their newly acquired spotlight eventually reveals who they really are, at least to a point that drives them from office even when the majority of the population remains oblivious.. The sad thing is that it takes that step to do it when what they are is so obvious from the start. I remember saying that back when Newt Gingrich became House Speaker. Sure, Republicans still hold him dear. In fact, he's a huge Trump supporter and sycophant these days but becoming Speaker effectively ended his career in elective office and relegated him to a position of sleazoid K-Street bagman and blubbering FOX "News" "contributor" ala Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and a grotesque assortment of quack "doctors" like Scott Atlas, pretend ex-CIA officers like Wayne Simmons, numerous fake scientists, birth certificate "experts" like Pamela Geller, and the rest of the ragtag menagerie they keep coming up with. I look forward to the day when Barr takes his loathsome Jabba the Hutt act to FOX. He's already been on FOX so much lately that he's obviously passed the audition and I just turned off one of the farcical Sunday talk shows when a picture of him polluted my screen. What remains to be determined is Barr's FOX "News" official start date (hopefully very soon) and what poor intern gets the job of cleaning up the gooey slime trail every time he appears. Word is that he even has his own chair at the studio, if only because no one else wants to sit in it after he has; the guy sweats even more than Rudy. Meanwhile Barr is not just a punchline. He is after all, Trump's Consigliere. I would say that he is Trump's Tom Hagen but that would be a grievous insult to Mr. Hagen and his Don. Meanwhile, he is shamefully politicizing the Justice Department to the max, to extremes that previous bad AGs like John Mitchell only dreamed about. Career Justice Department people with integrity like Nora Dannehy and others have resigned over Barr's flagrant politicization of investigations. Barr is more than Trump's Roy Cohn. He is a traitor to this country and its rule of law. Barr sees himself not as the protector of the 332,000,000 American people but as the protector of 1 pathetic fascist orange menace to society who is attempting to install himself as dictator for life. Consider William Barr an apprentice madman on this horrid Trump reality TV show we are all living in. Recently, Barr, in a speech at Hillsdale College in Michigan, insanely compared COVID-19 lockdowns to slavery, equating the attempt to save lives to destroying lives by putting people in chains and whipping them every day. Barr also recently even went so far as to run interference for his boss in a rape case (the subject of tonight's meme), even when his boss refuses to submit to a DNA test that would clear his name if he was innocent. Barr's action has turned the United States Justice Department into Donald Trump's private law firm. But, just ask yourself when did anyone of "good standing" in republican circles like William Barr ever come out against rape vote agianst rape. Most of them regard rape as nothing. We saw that in the Kavanaugh hearings. Congress has always been one big frat house where frat boys of both parties have treated rape as ritual or at least nudge-nudge, wink-wink stuff. Now, we have a president and his personal AG who, apparently perversely inspired by the Hussein family rape rooms in Iraq, seek to codify it. 1-800-LUV-RAPE indeed. Last week, Jabba the Barr revealed still more plans for expanding his brand of personal and ideological corruption for the Department of Justice and modeling it after Fraz Gurtner's German Justice Department of the Third Reich years. This would, of course, fulfill the Republican Party's decades long dream of full nazification of America. The latest sign of his intent was also given during his now notorious Hillsdale speech. In it, he made noises (suggestions) about prosecuting Democratic mayors, not all mayors, just Democratic ones. How long before he and his madman boss try to brand Americans who vote for Democrats as seditious? That will be fine with the red hat-wearing, red flag-waving 62,000,000 who voted for this. The Democrats will, as they always do, either meekly get on the train or just let it run over them.
