Barr isn't defending Trump. He's defending a right wing coup.

defending their money, privilege, and war machine.

He is a man on an urgent, evil mission. Though I also wonder if there’s a personal element to this too (his at least indirect ties to Russian oligarchs/ is he compromised, too?). That bizarre comment in his CBS interview,about “we all die,” suggesting he doesn’t care about at all his legacy or place in history. Also in that interview,I was struck by his uncanny resemblance (voice, behavior) to Cheney.

I definitely believe he is a man on a mission.

Kompromat could also be a serious factor. barr has Russian involvements and cyber space does not forget.

Our Lady of Fatima prophecies. Two of the kids were sainted, one died in 2005 (a 94yo nun). I was fascinated by supposed prophecies when I was a kid and read lots of “accounts”.

This is a quote from an article on Patheos: “Could it be that a re-Christianized Russia will then re-evangelize the world? Pope John Paul II once said priests would come not from Africa but from Russia to re-evangelize the West.

Perhaps the future of the Church lies not in Europe, Africa or Latin America but among the long-suffering people of the cold Russian north, whom God’s Soviet enemies unwittingly prepared to survive a long, cold, hard winter.”

Just wondering if Opus Dei is the equivalent of the fundy evangelicals. Trying to force fulfillment of “prophecies” while enriching themselves along the way.

Just a thought...

This CPA friend's wife died in her 30's, long, painful death. He became a Catholic deacon. Eventually a priest. He was a moderate Republican type. Some of the new priests tended to really scare him. One actually wrote a letter to my then teenage daughter on abortion. Vehemently talked of 'infants being ripped from the Mother's womb.'

We showed the letter to my friend . . . he wasn't surprised.

i hadn't made the connection but that same flat, expressionless, crackly voiced malevolence. cheney, mcconnell, and barr are truly evil people.

i'm finding it nearly impossible to listen to him.

desperately seize this moment in history - to lock in rw 'values' while they can.

It is like we had Americans helping out the Japanese during the attack on Pearl Harbor

From the comment section after an article about Trump's Rose Garden meltdown in the Washington Post.

You missed one of the most important slips - Daddy admitted to receiving phone calls from Jr BEFORE and AFTER the trump tower meeting. Listen again.

And, for a hundred years, the post Civil War confederate voting blocs.

[In the words of my longtime friend - 'history has never been that great.']

It perfectly fits their pattern.
