Bill Barr’s Departure Reveals the Hollowness of Trumpism

[Crtcl Rice Theory 2,432]

Like Jeff Sessions before him, the attorney general discovered that all that matters to Trump is personal loyalty, not ideology.

Not really.... I kinda expected this to happen when the news came out that Hunter has been under investigation for almost 2 years now. Not to mention that he hasn't been cooperating at all.

Didn't Loretta Lynch quit on Obama before the end of the term?  I guess Obamaism was just as hollow.

I just checked, and her last day in office was January 20, 2017. So no.

Trumpers are grasping for straws to prove that somehow Trump is the same as the Democrats and that there is a true equivalency between his craziness and the people on the left. 

 

No, both sides are not the same, one is way crazier and more dangerous. The Democrats and the left have serious flaws but Trump is way too out there and there is no comparison. He's obviously a high conflict person and can't keep anyone around, that's why he keeps firing "the best people" he hired. Very few people can put up with the craziness long enough. His only ideology is "me, me, me! Tell me I'm wonderful and that I'm winning or you're fired".

Were/are you there to know that?

You are right, I was thinking of Obama's wingman leaving early.

If this is not obvious just by looking at what the Dear Leader says and does and the high turnover of his staff, I don't know what to tell you.

I love everyone calling Trump "Dear Leader" when we just elected a Xi puppet.

Interesting, I haven't seen Trump do anything that was against the Constitution despite all the pearl clutching from those on the Left and the Washington insiders.  As to the authoritarian or fascist tendency of his cult, that is hard to see given the actions of the BLM and Antifa Marxist movements.

Not really, one has to have actual evidence of what they are positing first.  I have plenty of evidence of the authoritarian nature of the extreme leftist movements.

That are a very small fraction of the country. The Trump cult abandoned Fox News when it wasn't repeating Trump's lies and acknowledged reality instead.

I have no idea about that as I don't watch any news broadcasts and have been that way since way before Trump was ever elected.  Trump lies, and exaggerates a lot, he also jokes a lot, not sure everyone believes what he says, but at least he is completely open.  I realize those on the Left abhor transparency because I guess it is not presidential, so now we get a puppet that the media will not question.
