Despite Bill Barr’s repeatedly voicing concerns about Donald Trump, he has now said he will vote for him again this November

Bill Barr has claimed Donald Trump often suggested executing his political rivals during heated moments of his four-year tenure in the White House.

Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin told The View back in December that Mr Trump once called for a staff member to be put to death for leaking a story about the then-president going down to a bunker during Black Lives Matter protests in summer 2020.

Former Trump administration attorney general Mr Barr was asked about the claims during an interview on CNN last week.

      or you can hope it doesn’t happen until it does and then you’re standing there with your pants down. the entire future of every living thing on this planet may come down to whether we have the balls to do the right thing or not. the path to utopia may not be pretty, but when hell on earth is a possibility, you kinda don’t have a choice.

            Except the end result has historically always been the same; Hate begets hate.

            “I swear, our needless violence won’t result in needless violence, this isn’t like all the others, our needless violence is special and kind!”

            What do they say about the ‘definition of insanity’ again? “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

              Insanity is doing nothing while you watch sociopaths ruin the world for all living creatures for the foreseeable future.

                  nonviolent resistance worked in the 20th century because there were still plenty of people who cared or at least pretended to care. the 21st century is basically sociopaths, dissociative personality types, and pacifists. there’s no good people left with a spine and you’re about to see what that world breeds. it may already be too late.

                    Unions still work just as well as they did last century. Hell, they work better.

                    What you’re essentially saying is that “well this thing that has never worked is the solution and we shouldn’t use the thing that has been proved to work”.

                    It is hard to organise activism globally, but nonviolence still works better than violence.

                    What stands in it’s way is people believing there’s no point to nonviolent resistance… a bit like you.

        That’s got to be a Farside comic or something: Thag standing there with his pants down while the asteroid destroys Dinotopia.

        Or Dr Strangelove or something, yeah the end of the world coming, let’s make it happen

        Doomsday cult preaching the Rapture so opening the portal to Chthulu to rain down terror and insanity
