And Your Point is...?
[Washington Examiner via Bongino]Never trust an AG who looks like Elton John
Barr, who has since fallen out with former President Donald Trump, described the encounter as one of the most awkward moments during his tumultuous two-year tenure in the Trump administration. Trump disparaged Barr as a "f***ing loser" while meeting with his underlings to discuss their response to riots gripping the nation following George Floyd's death.

Since his departure from the White House, Barr has opened up about his feelings for his old boss. The former attorney general has often defended Trump's policies but disparaged his character. Barr resigned from his perch as the No. 1 Justice Department official in December 2020 while Trump and his allies peddled assertions that the 2020 election was "rigged."

Now Barr is backing someone else for the GOP nod in 2024: "whoever has the best chance of pushing Trump aside." During the interview, he name-dropped Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as possible contenders he could back.

Barr also noted that he was surprised that Democrats and many prominent figures in the media haven't apologized for pushing the so-called "Russiagate hoax" he ripped as the "big lie." Trump had been dogged by allegations that he and his campaign conspired with Russia in a plot of collusion to win the 2016 election.

#1 I would advise the gentleman, Mr. Barr to steeer clear of Gardening Stires and the like, as the American people readily recognize a bag of manure, when they see one. Mr. Barr, with all of his back peddling and disbelief, may find himself tossed into the back of a farmer's pick-up truck and carted away to serve a purpose, which is in line with the fertilizer he is attempting to spread here in this article. Bye Bill, your political life is over, but you just don't know it; everybody else does Bill, everybody.

#3 He refused to act obviously planned and well-funded riots -- "loser" is putting it mildly.

#4 It is astounding how thin-skinned so many in Washington are. Trump is a jerk, and he eventually rubs everyone the wrong way for the thin-skin that starts a life long hatred and cashing in integrity and occasionally doing illegal things to get him.

D.C is a modern Augean stables and Trump didn't have enough time to clean them out.
