It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us......that government of Washington, by Washington, for Washington, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln said something like that on November 19, 1863, didn't he?

I don’t want to diminish the importance of the other stories that you highlight for us on a daily basis Mark, but I have got to say that this crapola that Barr is trying to pedal right now has me boiling mad. I can’t even begin to express the absolute contempt that I have for this pathetic excuse of a man!! Many of us are constantly frustrated by our inability to “DO” something about what has and is happening in this country and to see someone who COULD have done a great deal but chose to do nothing now attempt to absolve himself of any kind of responsibility for the mess we are in is just despicable. Bill Barr is a disgrace who, as far as I am concerned, violated his sworn duty and oath of office as AG by his actions, or inaction in this case. The unmitigated gall of the man makes Adam Schiff seem like a saint! How does this happen, I mean, where are the staunch Republicans who are calling Barr out, where?

Bluto couldn't see past his petulance for Trump to do the right thing.

Probably one aspect, but to be in his position and to allow personal pettiness to cloud your judgment to the point that you would sacrifice the best interests of the country over something so shallow, well, it’s just beyond comprehension. I honestly don’t know how the guy looks at himself in the mirror to shave.

Our entire political class is a shame and a disgrace.

I'm shocked, stunned, traumatized, at the breaking point, and literally shaking (with laughter) just from the book's description!

I hear ya TD; all we can do is maintain a level head, educate our kids, and look for discounts on travel sites.

But but Daaaaaave... we are all counting on taking back the House and Senate in 2022 and we are counting on these great candidates to fix the mess in DC! The GOP is our only hope! /sarc.

But we in Washington are superior to King Canute. We control the climate, the economy, world peace and law and order. There are no unintended consequences, but only a distorted sense of reality in some unwashed, unwoke and unhinged domestic terrorists.
