Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes From Public View During Election

“That’s all the Republican senate would allow him to have”

Another false meme. Trump chose Sessions because Sessions supported him early in the campaign. Clearly Trump did not think it through.

Trump could have named anyone he wanted to the job both times it was open. If he truly didn’t put his own person in the job because McConnell told him his nominee wouldn’t pass, he had another path open to him. He could have nominated his own candidate. If the RINO’s in the Senate started making noise he could have gone to the people.

The truth is Trump made many bad appointments - Tillerson, Mattis, Priebus, Kelly, Esper and many more. Few if any were made because it was the best he could get by the Senate.

Consider this. If he had nominate Amy Coney Barrett for Attorney General, do you really believe the Republican Senate would have failed to confirm her? She would almost certainly have been better than Sessions or Barr. There have to be honest conservative politician attorneys or judges he could have appointed and would have passed the Senate. The fact is, he did not try.

An executive cannot lead an organization by himself. If he doesn’t hire a good team of senior leaders, committed to the cause, under him he will be crippled. Trump could have been an even better president if he had done the hard work of recruiting and vetting outstanding people to work for him in the administration.

I agree that PDJT made many poor appointments. I give him a pass only on Sessions, without whose support Trump would probably not have been elected. Rosenstein, who I consider Trump's worst appointment, on the other hand, should have been vetted even on Wikipedia and known to be a swamp creature.

I do think that many people who would have made wonderful appointees in the Trump administration declined the offer because they knew that the ruthless Dems would put them and their entire family through the ringer. Dems stop at nothing to get their way and do not care who they ruin.

I am not sure that we can even do Swedish “socialism” for very long. We may have too many people unwilling to work, even more than we have already, who will be happy to have everything given to them. Sweden, by the way, denies that it is a socialist country. They say that they are a free market country with very high taxes.

Yes, I have read that. But as you might agree, very high taxes accomplish exactly what Karl Marx was striving for:

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

The main problem Trump had, was a Republican establishment that never supported him.

Barrett would make a great Chief Justice, but a terrible AG.
She’s a woman, who as AG would accommodate the liberals who run the DOJ.

The answer to our DOJ problem is to defund it. Eliminate 90% of their budget.
