Thanks. Everything regarding Trump is not a crisis.
I am not sure the heat has been turned up on Bill Barr, but I hope it has been. His pandering to Trump while he owes his loyalty to the people of the United States undermines the principles of our government,

@AGBF, yes Trump has certainly "learned his lesson." Not the one our naively credulous senator from Maine Susan Collins thought he would learn, but this one: thanks to the Republican controlled Senate he can do whatever the f*k he wants.
I lost my faith in Susan Collins about a year ago....
Give him 8 more yrs if he can keep our economy booming ...Even for those who support Trump, what do you think this will do to this country? Do you think it will be good for the country to have another 4 years under a man who thinks he (and his business associates) are above the law?
You know, repugnant though it may be, at least those voters have a reason to support the orange thing. What about the legions of trump voters who don’t even have stock portfolios?

Agree, i.e. the house try to undo the 2016 election. Bunch of sore losers dems.This is a good read. To sum it up, authoritative governments, the people lose the ability to elect their leaders, or hold those leaders to account. Authoratarian governments (like Russia) may still have things like elections, courts, etc. But they do not function to allow people to pick their political leaders.
If that applied to all manner of those who are intolerant it would indeed be wonderful.
Confused? Great. The back and forth perfectly suits Russia's original disinformation blueprint, fomenting pandemonium in US politics that turns American against American. Intelligence officials have also said that Russia is assisting the campaign of surging Democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders -- a suggestion also floated by Trump, a skilled weaver of misinformation himself.
Thickening the plot, White House aides darkly mutter that the Vermont senator honeymooned in Soviet-era Moscow. Meanwhile, Democrats are back to branding the President as a Russian puppet. The only certainty in this feud is that some Americans will see as illegitimate whatever happens in the November presidential election.
Now add chaos at the heart of the intelligence establishment: Trump is currently purging top spy chiefs whom he suspects are part of a "Deep State" plot against him. This, after he previously accepted Putin's denials about 2016 election meddling, despite his own spies' assessments.
Even at the height of the Cold War, Russian agents could only have dreamed of sowing such corrosive distrust in the heart of American democratic institutions. It must be especially sweet for Putin, the former KGB officer who bitterly watched the West triumph from his post in Dresden as East Germany dissolved.
Yup and God would be the judge of course.
