    Trumpers are literally the weirdest cultists I've ever met. You folks bend over backwards to worship him while he would throw you to aside for a happy meal. It's the most abusive relationship I've seen

    Imagine supporting a sociopath for President. They either can't see it or don't care who the President is, as long as it's a Republican. They'd support Jim Jones if he were alive.

    Bill Barr’s Warning on Trump
    The former Attorney General says his one-time boss lacks the ability to deliver on his policy priorities.
    By The Editorial Board
    Updated May 7, 2023 at 5:57 pm ET

    A common refrain among many Donald Trump supporters is that, while they may dislike his character and what he did on Jan. 6, 2021, they like his policies. Those voters might consider the warning from Mr. Trump’s second Attorney General, William Barr.

    “If you believe in his policies, what he’s advertising as his policies, he’s the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them,” Mr. Barr told the City Club of Cleveland on Friday.

    Mr. Barr should know, having worked for President Trump for 22 months. “He does not have the discipline. He does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking, or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system,” Mr. Barr continued. “It’s a horror show, you know, when he’s left to his own devices.

    “And so you may want his policies, but Trump will not deliver Trump policies. He will deliver chaos, and if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.”

    ***
    Most GOP opponents of nominating Mr. Trump for the third straight time for President say he can’t win. The Republican election record since 2018, including his loss to President Biden, suggests that’s right. But events are unpredictable, including the pace of Mr. Biden’s physical and mental decline.

    Mr. Barr’s point, and it’s more powerful than the electability argument, is that Mr. Trump won’t be able to govern successfully even if he did somehow win a second term. He wouldn’t be able to deliver the conservative policy victories that most Republicans want.

    The rebuttal from the Trump establishment will be to cite his first term, but that record supports Mr. Barr’s point. We also agree with many of Mr. Trump’s policies, and we backed them during his Presidency. But his most important policy victories were conventional GOP priorities delivered by people he now denounces as “RINOs.”

    The Federalist Society delivered his list of judges that then Majority Leader Mitch McConnell guided to Senate confirmation. Paul Ryan and House Republicans spent years building policy and political capital for tax reform. Vice President Mike Pence supplied some of Mr. Trump’s best policy advisers. While Mr. Trump deserves credit for embracing these people and policies, his second term would be filled by much lesser lights.

    The record on Mr. Trump’s signature ideas isn’t as successful. He failed to build the border wall, and even with a GOP majority in Congress in his first two years he never passed an immigration bill that reformed the “credible fear” standard of persecution for migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. All the dysfunctions of U.S. immigration law were there for Mr. Biden to exploit.

    Mr. Trump’s trade agenda also achieved little other than higher costs for Americans. China’s behavior hasn’t improved, while the U.S. is out of the successor deal to the Trans-Pacific Partnership that Mr. Trump walked away from. He failed to negotiate a new bilateral deal with the United Kingdom.

    Mr. Trump’s enemies were relentless and deceptive, but he also too often gave them a sword. He ignored advice (see our Jan. 13, 2017 editorial) to ask James Comey to resign on taking office because, as Mr. Trump told visitors, he was impressed by the FBI director’s height and thought he could control him. True story, and bad decision. After he finally and lawfully fired Mr. Comey in May 2017, Mr. Trump triggered a special counsel probe with comments that contradicted the previous White House explanation.

    The worst example of the chaos Mr. Barr cites is Mr. Trump’s management of Covid. Mr. Trump conceded to destructive lockdowns recommended by Anthony Fauci, and he never adopted a consistent message. He daily took the bait of White House reporters and engaged in distracting feuds over Covid treatments and so much else.

    He never took the time, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis did, to study the subject and offer reassuring leadership. This was the main reason for Mr. Trump’s defeat in 2020 as Mr. Biden campaigned on ending the chaos.

    A fuller account of Mr. Trump’s Presidency can wait for other days, but Mr. Barr’s warning is one that GOP voters deserve to hear. Democrats and most of the media want Mr. Trump to be the GOP nominee because they believe he is the easiest candidate to defeat.

    Republican voters are rightly appalled by the behavior of Democratic prosecutors, and they’ve rallied to Mr. Trump’s defense. But they have to decide if they want to let Democrats make their nominating choice for them, while ignoring Mr. Barr’s warning about the policy risks of a second Trump term.

    That Trump doesn’t have the inclination or discipline to deliver many of Republican priorities has been obvious. Since he first entered office.

    If he is found guilty, his maga weirdos will continue with the witch hunt theory............my thing is at some point dont the maga crowds have to go hmmmmmmm........, maybe there is something to all these lawsuits.

    Yeah, obviously the Deep State and Obama-appointed judges are trying to destroy Trump because he's the only one who can save good god-fearing Americans from their evil machinations.

    I see Joe Biden’s recent poll results are trending in the same direction as his competency

    You know, I used to not like Bill Burr. But as I get older and more jaded and he gets older and....less jaded? I find him hilarious and would be friends with the guy.

    “Donald Trump has proven he is unfit for office. Donald Trump is a risk America can never take again,”







    “Donald Trump is the only president in American history who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power. He lost the election and he knew it.
    He betrayed millions of Americans by telling them the election was stolen. He ignored the rulings of dozens of courts,”

    “Rather than accept his defeat, he mobilized a mob to come to Washington and March on the Capitol.
    Then he watched on television while the mob attacked law enforcement, invaded the Capitol and hunted the vice president,”

    Cheney also highlighted Trump’s delay in telling the rioters to leave and asserted that Trump “didn’t care” about warnings that his Jan. 6 plans were illegal.

    “There has never been a greater dereliction of duty by any president,” she said.​

    Pay up chump...$5 million.

    • JUST IN: A Manhattan federal jury found that Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in the spring of 1996. The jury found him liable for battery in Carroll’s civil trial against him based on that sexual assault claim.

    Trump is a pathological liar, but he’s also stupid AF so he ends up spilling the beans and telling the real truth unintentionally…he’s the dumbass who says the quiet part out loud without even realizing it

    Why are you posting about Biden in a Trump thread?

    By the way, Trump just lost another court case
