Despite Bill Barr’s repeatedly voicing concerns about Donald Trump, he has now said he will vote for him again this November

Bill Barr has claimed Donald Trump often suggested executing his political rivals during heated moments of his four-year tenure in the White House.

Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin told The View back in December that Mr Trump once called for a staff member to be put to death for leaking a story about the then-president going down to a bunker during Black Lives Matter protests in summer 2020.

Former Trump administration attorney general Mr Barr was asked about the claims during an interview on CNN last week.

    Except the end result has historically always been the same; Hate begets hate.

    “I swear, our needless violence won’t result in needless violence, this isn’t like all the others, our needless violence is special and kind!”

    What do they say about the ‘definition of insanity’ again? “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

      Insanity is doing nothing while you watch sociopaths ruin the world for all living creatures for the foreseeable future.

          nonviolent resistance worked in the 20th century because there were still plenty of people who cared or at least pretended to care. the 21st century is basically sociopaths, dissociative personality types, and pacifists. there’s no good people left with a spine and you’re about to see what that world breeds. it may already be too late.

            Unions still work just as well as they did last century. Hell, they work better.

            What you’re essentially saying is that “well this thing that has never worked is the solution and we shouldn’t use the thing that has been proved to work”.

            It is hard to organise activism globally, but nonviolence still works better than violence.

            What stands in it’s way is people believing there’s no point to nonviolent resistance… a bit like you.

              violence was never a viable option because organizing it has been impossible for the common man. we now have the tools to coordinate globally and discreetly.

                Yeah the ‘lack of organisation’ isn’t the problem.

                Unions work, authoritarianism doesn’t. Your lack of belief in nonviolent activism is partially responsible for the state of the world, so stop it with the inane violence fantasies and start doing something.

                  you’re incredibly naive. how did non violent action work out for the jews in the holocaust? was euromaidan peaceful?

                  violence is the lubrication for every major historical event that changes the landscape of a region. the threat of violence is the basis of every legal system. keep singing koombaya, you limp-wristed do-nothing.

                    What non-violent resistance movements of Jews were there in Europe? Because I don’t know of any. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_resistance_in_German-occupied_Europe

                    The battle for humanity’s future is fought with words, not bullets. Lovely irony in you trying to call someone else naive, as all you’re capable of is cheap “we should beat up the baddies” BS, which achieves less than nothing, being in itself harmful to the discourse.

                    I’m actually in the military reserves. I’m trained and ready to defend my country, with weapons, if necessary. Can you say the same? It would be somewhat naive to call someone a “limp-wristed do-nothing” if you’re not in the military and you think vague threats of violence to some poorly defined “them” is more effective at achieving things than discussing them like adults.
