Imagine being so corrupt that Barr wants some distance.
@geoffrbennett: Attorney General Barr discussed clemency for Roger Stone with Trump and recommended against it, an administration official tells NBC News. The official said the Justice Department had nothing to do with Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence.

The official said the Justice Department had nothing to do with Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence. OTOH, not it is not beyond Barr to be lying in order to appear to maintain some credibility. This could simply be part of the Trump Regime plan - appear to have Barr be opposed while Trump commutes. Their twisted version of good cop/bad cop. No doubt, Barr or his surrogates leaked this. It may also be an attempt to tamp down a mutiny by career DOJ attorneys. Is it true? I don't trust Barr as far as I can spit. Also, it's a good to remember why Trump didn't pardon Stone. If he pardoned him, Stone would lose his 5th Amendment privilege to remain silent and could have been compelled to testify. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/11/trumps-self-serving-help-roger-stone/

Will the bill ever come due for the cultists who voted for the sociopath?? The bill is coming due for those who sold their souls to Trump Opinion by Jennifer Rubin Columnist July 15, 2020 at 12:30 p.m. EDT Between President Trump’s Rose Garden rant on Tuesday (which Mary L. Trump should definitely include in the paperback version of her book delving into her uncle’s erratic behavior) and the White House’s excuse that it never authorized trade representative Peter Navarro to write a screed attacking the world’s leading infectious-disease expert, it has become a wee bit difficult for in-house lackeys, elected Republicans and card-carrying members of the right-wing media to keep up the pretense that Trump and his administration are functioning normally — or even functioning at all. (One wonders how the Hogan Gidleys, the Marc Shorts, the Mark Espers and the rest justify continuing to regurgitate his lies and sing his praises.) www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/15/how-will-republicans-will-rationalize-supporting-trump/?hpid=hp_opinions-for-wide-side_opinion-card-b%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

This isn't about freedom, this is about selfishness.

Here's hoping. Jennifer Rubin Columnist July 16, 2020 Republicans are in deep trouble. It is not simply President Trump’s atrocious national and state polling numbers. It is not merely the growing list of incumbent Senate Republicans facing difficult elections. (Five incumbents are in toss-up seats, according to the Cook Political Report; four are in the next-worst category of “Lean Republican.”) There are three new signs suggesting the Republicans’ grip on power is draining like sand out of an hourglass. First, for all of Trump’s support among Republicans (not 94 percent as he claims, but generally in the high 80s), there is stunning evidence of what we suspected was underway in 2018. It is not so much that Republicans are abandoning Trump but that voters are abandoning the Republican Party, and now adding to the anti-Trump vote. Gallup reports: Since January, Americans’ party preferences have shifted dramatically in the Democratic Party’s direction. What had been a two-percentage-point Republican advantage in U.S. party identification and leaning has become an 11-point Democratic advantage, with more of that movement reflecting a loss in Republican identification and leaning (down eight points) than a gain in Democratic identification and leaning (up five points). . . . In June alone, there was a three-point increase in Democratic identification and leaning, and a corresponding five-point drop in Republican identification and leaning. The flight from the GOP just in June, in the wake of the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests, suggests millions of Americans may have decided it was unacceptable to identify as Republicans. The implications are ominous for Republicans up and down the ticket. Per Gallup: “Four months before Election Day, Democrats appear to be as strong politically now as they were in 2018 when they reclaimed the majority in the House of Representatives and gained seven governorships they previously did not hold,” the pollsters found. “If the strong current Democratic positioning holds through Election Day, Democrats could build off those 2018 successes to possibly win the presidency and Senate in 2020.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/16/three-more-signs-republicans-are-trouble/?hpid=hp_opinions-for-wide-side_opinion-card-d%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

Is anybody really surprised by this? That was, no doubt, him on his BEST behavior.

The details in this lawsuit, which accuses Ed Henry of brutally raping former Fox News employee Jennifer Eckhart, are extremely brutal and horrific.
The text messages included in the suit are really jawdropping.

Trump and GOP are jokes. Back to Charlotte. What an incompetent boob. Great decision making, sociopath! And this. Remind yourself that Rubin is a Republican. Two defining features of the Republican Party were on display Thursday. Together, they are proof that the flaws of today’s GOP are not limited to President Trump and reason enough to send the party in its current manifestation into the political wilderness. The first, and most important, feature is the party’s jaw-dropping incompetence. We not only have Trump’s failure to address the coronavirus pandemic (as well as dozens of other examples ranging from a wall you can saw through to a government shutdown), but also the incapacity of the Republican-controlled Senate to do its job. [T]oday’s Republican Party rewards displays of insensitivity, disrespect, meanness and bigotry as a sign one will not be contained by “elites” or “political correctness.” It tolerates support for the Confederate flag and white nationalism. It ignores protesters screaming in the faces of health-care workers to protest one’s right to go mask-less, thereby endangering others. The culture of bullying and the disdain for others is not an incidental part of the GOP; it is central to its identity. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/23/todays-gop-nutshell-jaw-dropping-incompetence-grotesque-disrespect-others/?hpid=hp_opinions-float-right-4-0_opinion-card-d-right%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

This is like Austin's 2nd half outburst in the comeback against UConn some years back, absolute fire...
I put this here but I do get that this isn't just a right-wing/conservative issue but it's clear that POTUS has set the tone for this group...
