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.

    violence was never a viable option because organizing it has been impossible for the common man. we now have the tools to coordinate globally and discreetly.

      Yeah the ‘lack of organisation’ isn’t the problem.

      Unions work, authoritarianism doesn’t. Your lack of belief in nonviolent activism is partially responsible for the state of the world, so stop it with the inane violence fantasies and start doing something.

          What non-violent resistance movements of Jews were there in Europe? Because I don’t know of any. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_resistance_in_German-occupied_Europe

          The battle for humanity’s future is fought with words, not bullets. Lovely irony in you trying to call someone else naive, as all you’re capable of is cheap “we should beat up the baddies” BS, which achieves less than nothing, being in itself harmful to the discourse.

          I’m actually in the military reserves. I’m trained and ready to defend my country, with weapons, if necessary. Can you say the same? It would be somewhat naive to call someone a “limp-wristed do-nothing” if you’re not in the military and you think vague threats of violence to some poorly defined “them” is more effective at achieving things than discussing them like adults.

            “What non-violent resistance movements of Jews were there in Europe?”

            There was no resistance. everybody saw it coming and did nothing until it was too late.

            “The battle for humanity’s future is fought with words, not bullets.”

            The history books tell a very different story. Again, naive.

            “Lovely irony in you trying to call someone else naive, as all you’re capable of is cheap “we should beat up the baddies” BS, which achieves less than nothing, being in itself harmful to the discourse.”

            I promise you if the baddies fear for their life, they’re going to be very hesitant to roll over the people. If the last time X baddie attempted some sociopathic cruelty, they ended up picking up their teeth afterwards, they will think twice about doing it again.

            “I’m actually in the military reserves. I’m trained and ready to defend my country, with weapons, if necessary. Can you say the same?”

            I’m armed and trained as well buddy.

            "It would be somewhat naive to call someone a “limp-wristed do-nothing”

            If it walks like a duck…

            "some poorly defined “them”

            I have a list.

            Again, you’re ignoring the last 4000 years of civilization if you think violence is an ineffective tool for change.
