    1. OH boy, Darned the luck, Gee golly jeepers oh woo ah ouch woo oh man dang. You democrats were done from the beginning but now you are really over, bye bye Bidennnnnn. All that work you all make me laugh get ready for 2016 repeat. Yeahhhhhhhhh Trump 2020. Not to mention every Democrat I know is voting for Trump. Thank you God in heaven

    2. @Dennis Nelson The Real ‘Deep State’ Party is the Trump Republicans. Gitmo for the entire criminal collective.Your’re sounding like a fan of Fidel Castro!.

    3. But first they should deliver all government documents accrued under trump regime to congress and the library of congress!

    1. Just because there is a physical resemblance, poor Fred Flintstone doesn’t deserve the indignity of being compared to a corrupt flunky like Bill Barr.

    1. @Shirley Kurtz
      Duh. They can’t have morals or principles cuz the Traitor in Chief is allergic to them. Kinda like he’s allergic to truth,honesty,respect,
      integrity,etc. 😈👍🇺🇸✌🙄🤷

    2. @The Truth LMAOOOO … another Chump University student who majored in propaganda and lying. Even has the wrong handle, which should be assistant liar-in-chief.

    1. @Veracity North We will win like 2016 and maybe a third term. It is for the best. Trust me you will be okay. I know you all on the left are afraid of the unknown but know this you all will be just fine I promise. In the end you will be glad this president wins again. Don’t be angry with us on the right. We are for the whole country. Like children they think there parents are mad at them and hate them but in the end it was done for the best. We are taking care of it, and this President will make America great again. Trump 2020

    2. @Veracity North yeah that’s why tens of thousands are attending Biden events. Oh wait they aren’t. The minority is you buddy, you only have to open your eyes up to see that.

    3. @Alan aka FANG Trump is not even get 5,000 out to his rallies. Biden is up holding laws and cares for people health. He is not holding crazy mad events putting American’s in danger. Like Trump. I know it’s hard for you but look at the numbers. You are the sad losers in the minority supporting trashy Trump. I hope you don’t cry yourself to sleep when Trump is fired in November.

    4. @The Truth you are a complete ignorant person with no understanding of the American constitution. No one can have a third term as president. Thanks for looking stupid online. Exactly how Trump loves his supporters – lacking intelligence.

    5. Alan aka FANG the amount of ignorance in trump supporters is staggering. It’s a fact you’re a minority, trump lost by 3 million votes. Why is this even a question?Secondly Trumps cult are morons, Biden supporters know they are voting for a president that will protect them and not his ego. Trumps cult are so ignorant they think this is a game and they look like fools to the rest of the world.

    1. The problem is Barr doesn’t feel like a criminal : he feels like an instrument of God in the line of : “the end (the will of God in his eyes )justifies the means”…that’s why he always have that righteous, arrogant, smug demeanor about him!

    2. Joe, another KID that makes claims with ZERO to backup your BS. I bet you loved Holder and Lynch. ha You were in 8th grade back then.
      Why is it you liberals never EVER talk about Joe BIden? LOL

  1. Generally speaking, it’s a better idea to park blatant criminals like William Barr in prison than in the office of the attorney-general.

    1. @aragorn4242 I agree. Trump wants to turn the US into his DICTATORSHIP, I’d say. i am sickened by the lying, cheating, propaganda news… makes me wanna vomit. I agree with Kamala Harris that Trump drives everything he inherits into the ground… SIX BANKRUPTCIES… evidence of his past successes. Look what he’s done to our country… Help is on the way… Biden/Harris 2020; they are THE REAL THING…

    2. @Lisa Elissa That video link is AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for sharing… and AINT IT THE TRUTH… The Lincoln Project really NAILED IT!!! Well done!!!

    1. @Paul Wilson sounds like a fake name to me. “Paul” is spending a certain amount of time typing dismissive responses. I wonder how much they pay him.

  2. Bill Barf citing his authority as his rationale tells us everything. He imagines his position places him beyond any responsibility beyond his own desires. Sounds familiar.

    1. @T Electronix I refer to the initial comment, and I mean Barr may be right that he can act without responsibility other than to meet his own desires. I don’t see any one/ anything stopping him so far.

    2. @carla dehaas Hah, yes well the congressional republican’s refusal to indict is not a measure of if he is “right”.

    3. @carla dehaas Of Course he is not required to be a decent human being, or even a decent Attorney General by law. By law he can disregard all kinds of norms and make his position into an absolute corruption of what the Attorney Generals responsibilities are. With a president who welcomes corrupting and degrading goveenment and the judicial system that check to his abuse of power is not present. He is not being held accountable by either Trump or Republicans. Yes he may be right in imagining he is empowered to do what is not only wrong, but destructive to his office and to the entire country.

    1. @Derry Taylor painfully evident you dont like facts about this subject.. glade you lost already… and cant defend a talking head on MSNBC ahhahahhahahahhah against the Attorney general the 3nd time in history.

    2. @Michael John RE READ HIS POST,IT WAS POORLY WORDED,HENCE HE ROUND ABOUT COMPLIMENTED YOU,NOT YOUR LACK OF ABILITY AS I WOULD HAVE TYPED,AS FAR AS THE PAINFULLY EVIDENT PART,WELL MIKE TYSONS OPPONENTS FOUND HIM TO BE A TERRIFYINGLY GOOD BOXER,AND IT WAS PAINFULLY EVIDENT TO MOST,THEY WERE CORRECT,NO SHADE THERE… JUST STATIN ,NOT HATIN

    1. @Deadbeat Donny your such a f..king loser you hide behind trump’s face with a wig your a marxists Socialist Democrat who screams and crys if things don’t go your way or the radical left’s way .

    2. ​@Deadbeat Donny We will win like 2016 and maybe a third term. It is for the best. Trust me you will be okay. I know you all on the left are afraid of the unknown but know this you all will be just fine I promise. In the end you will be glad this president wins again. Don’t be angry with us on the right. We are for the whole country. Like children they think there parents are mad at them and hate them but in the end it was done for the best.

    1. Quotes from a real president.
      “There is nothing in the record of the past two years when both Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Republican Party which can lead any person to believe that those promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.”
      ― John F. Kennedy
      “The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie–deliberate, contrived and dishonest–but the myth–persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

      [Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]”
      ― John F. Kennedy

    1. ​@Helen Maclenan We will win like 2016 and maybe a third term. It is for the best. Trust me you will be okay sweet heart. I know you all on the left are afraid of the unknown but know this you all will be just fine I promise. In the end you will be glad this president wins again. Don’t be angry with us on the right. We are for the whole country. Like children they think there parents are mad at them and hate them but in the end it was done for the best. We are taking care of it, and this President will make America great again. Trump 2020

    2. @P Muller I smell a bush somewhere in the room, I would say the x pres had a lot of influence on the trump!!! Just ask bill Barr!!!

    3. @ChucksterOLove so Biden has the majority of support but none of you are going out to his events? While tens of thousands are attending Trump events but he has no support?
      You’re either living in denial or just plain ignorant 🙄

    4. @Alan aka FANG You have no picture, one video, and no channel content. That means you’re either a teenage troll living in her mommy’s basement, OR you’re a Russian bot. What’s wrong, scared to show the world who you really are??

      Go take out the trash before mommy grounds you… 😉🇷🇺

    5. @Joe Archuleta
      Joe Biden is right about William Barr. Barr is sick in the head and so is his boss, the wannabe dictator who is trying to turn the U.S. into his own private banana republic. Kick traitor Trump, his grifter family, and his corrupt Republican enablers to the curb!

  3. Barr is a right wing ideologue who can’t believe his luck having Atgolf Twitler.

    Vote a 🌊ticket across the board and your life, America and the economy literally depends on it.

    1. if we make it to november with iran commiong to take trump to iran for tryal for the murder of their general sonamaliii or they will bring bombs agian 11 2020 will be bad to assinste agian

    1. @Virginia B. Britton Not to mention aka Fred Flintstone, or Barney Rubble. He’ll be reminded for his behaviour, and also his family and friends. Why do these IDIOTS never think about their own families. They’re not the ones having to live with a man who is to all intent purposes, and his own ,, but have installed several ways .but to pull it down. Donald
