You add it to the front page yourself, as you are adding topics prior to posting.

His wife attends a Bible study with Mueller’s wife. Makes it harder to put his wife’s friend’s husband in prison where he belongs.

See #36 for a start.

He’s Bush League/Deep State all the way.

And never saw a wiretap he didn’t like.

Why does Trump surround himself with these dubious characters? especially Bush cronies... I will never understand it. Thanks for your efforts in exposing the corruption.

Paul does this all the time and then changes his mind.

The Randstander strikes again.

WHITAKER is UNLEASHED now; he’s doing just fine ... maybe Barr will choose him DAG and then he can go through the ringer ;)

“Paul told Politico that he had concerns about Barr’s record on privacy, calling him a “chief advocate for warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens.” A spokesman for Paul didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.”

Gee, there’s your comment right there, looks to me.

From your member splash page:

For the record, I announced my support for Trump on this site in May of 2015.

And have not wavered since.

Apparently until tonight when you make it clear that you would deny Mr. Trump the AG of his choice. With that kind of support, Trump needs to make deals with Pelosi. Thanks, Bud.

Hopefully Barr is a “temp” hired to do some specific jobs.

His record on the Second Amendment is crap.

Correct.

I would not confirm Barr.

Trump has already made one bad choice at AG, that much is nearly universally agreed by all.

Or do you dispute that too?

If Barr is what Rand says he is, then I don’t want him in the job either. Deep state swamp must die, even if we have to nuke it from space, just to be sure.

Rand is a big supporter of Trump. This is just his principled position...

I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump agrees with Sen. Paul on Barr. Unfortunately, he has to pick someone that will get confirmed and with everyone having such a hard-on over the Mueller investigation, he has to take this into consideration.

Trump's best pick by far was Scott Pruitt. He showed up to the EPA with a flamethrower and basically sacked over it.

I'm still pissed about this.

I’ve never seen a president do so much with so little

That is an understatement and a point well taken.

So true. Trump sure has exposed both parties and now we know for sure what a pile of dung the republicans have become and it's a byproduct of him making America great again.
