Attorney General Barr

I had to stop watching that farce of a hearing by the House Judiciary Committee and Attorney General William Barr. Most of the committee members, led by its chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler, made fools of themselves by attacking and trying to destroy AG Barr.

The “hearing” was embarrassing to watch. AG Barr was not even given a chance to respond to questions because, if he was, he would have shredded the committee’s rants to pieces.

The committee’s disrespectful treatment of the attorney general will forever mark them as buffoons who live in their own fantasy world. The mean-spirited, and poisonously partisan chairman, Jerry Nadler, and his whole party should be ashamed.

Here’s the thing with these dog and pony shows, er, I mean “hearings,” no one wins in these scenarios.

As someone who genuinely thinks the Democrats and Republicans

are just two sides of the same filthy coin, I can’t handle the partisan bickering that these things devolve into. I don’t disagree that the Dems look like fools, but Barr wouldn’t have “shredded” anyone there. He’s full of the same bombastic nonsense that the people questioning him were. No winners in these charades, and the losers are you and I who pay taxes and pick up the tab for these ridiculous displays.
