As William “Bilious Billy” Barr continues to double down on disgracing the Department of Justice and the Rule of Law in the United States, his shameful behavior has directly inspired citizen patriots across the United States and the world to rise up in protest.
In Bar Harbor, Maine there is a petition to rename the town “Faithless Toady Harbor” until such time as Barr leaves office and is hopefully incarcerated. Susan Collins is concerned and may possibly write a sternly worded letter.
Bar Harbor wasn’t the only US city to take a stand against Barr:
- Baraboo, Wisconsin will be renamed to Barrisapoo
- Barboursville, West Virginia has settled on Barrboorsmells
- Bardstown, Kentucky opted for Barrsaclown
- Barkeyville, Pennsylvania is going with Mad Barrkeyville
- Barnstable, Massachusetts will switch to Barrunstable
- Barnwell, South Carolina voted for changing to Barrisunwell
- Barstow, California will become Barrgoaway
- Bartlesville, Oklahoma is considering Barrtleswill
- Bartlett, Illinois chose Dontlettbarr
- Bartow, Florida is changing to Barrgoaway
Internationally, the citizens Barranquilla, Columbia have pledged to suspend their UNESCO recognized Carnival of Barranquilla until the deadly insult of sharing a syllable with such a tool of the devil is ended.
The people of Barra Mansa, Brazil passed a ballot initiative to immediately arrest AG Barr for public urination on the concept of justice should he ever enter their city.
The city of Barrie, Ontario, Canada will be changing its name from Barrie to Myotherbrotherdarryl for the duration of the occupation.
In addition, all bars in towns and cities in the United States where the average citizen over 21 has more than one natural tooth will be changing their signs to Inn or Tavern and barring Barr from the premises to avoid Health Department violations for failure to control pests.
During his tenure at the Department of Justice, William Barr has consistently and systematically lowered the bar between the White House and the Department, turning it from a mostly independent arm of the government, responsible for administering equal justice under the law to a partisan component of today’s republican party. He is competing with Stephanie Grisham, Kellyanne Conway and Mick Mulvaney for most obsequious tRump toady and winning the general competition for Washington lawyer with the most negative integrity. There is a great deal of merit to the suggestion that he should be disbarred.
Before his unconscionable butchery of the Mueller Report, he earned his forked tail and leathery wings as a criminal henchweasel for his work covering up the criminal conspiracy to trade arms for hostages that was sullying the reputation of Saint Ronnie. In that instance he orchestrated the Papa Bush pardons for six co-conspirators (including Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger) and scuttled a six-year investigation. The overflowing stench from that betrayal of Justice should have barred him from ever showing his bloated face in Washington again. But, with the ascent of the tRump crime family, he’s back and he’s even worse this time around.
This year he has refused to answer lawful Congressional subpoenas; refused to answer or obviously dodged questions when he did appear and still managed to lie under oath when he said, "I don't know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion." At the time he was in possession of the letter from Robert Mueller which said regarding Barr’s summary, "… did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions." I wish it was possible to say, “I can’t think of a more dishonest person in Washington today,” but I can’t.
It is unfortunate for all of us that tRump was lucky enough to find a man so lacking in morals, ethics, scruples, integrity, restraint, honesty and proper lily pad etiquette so as to be able to replace world class shitheel, Roy Cohn, in his Axis of despicable warty co-conspirators. Barr’s enthusiastic slobbering sicko-phantic embrace of tRump’s defense against criticism, investigations, censure and impeachment is unseemly inappropriate disgusting nauseating repulsive typically republican. There is no place in democratic institutions for partisan hacks like Barr. There is no place in polite society for dishonest lawyers like Barr. There is no place in America for traitors like Barr.
And now we come to the latest travesty. Barr is refusing to accept the report of his own investigator. He has a predetermined “facts be damned” investigatory outcome in mind and he will not rest until he finds an underling slimy enough to manufacture such a report. He’s also up to his scaly eyeballs in an effort to manufacture a false narrative for tRump’s impeachment trial. There ought to be a law against crap like this… Oh wait… there is. Move over John Mitchell. You have been eclipsed as the most corrupt Attorney General in American history.
For those of you wondering why there weren’t more excruciating Barr puns scattered throughout today’s offering, I used up almost my entire allotment for the year back in April in tRump Is a Disease. Truth Is the Cure. Good News Roundup for Tuesday, April 23rd (scroll down to the Katy Barr the Door topic)
