Also for the sneering laugh and 'what policy' bullshit rigmarole

Thanks Evan! Still laughing over "actually said, with his mouth". Also, that picture with his middle finger prominent on his face - didn't we all do that in grade school to the mean nuns? Another petulant child in this admin.

and it should make them felons.

The Democrats' running response should have been something like: So while Barack Obama's eight years in the Whitehouse resulted in no criminal convictions let's imagine for a moment that someone closely associated with him (fill in the blank from the multitude of crimes and violations being discussed here), you would agree that Eric Holder was perfectly within his rights to (fill in the blank). That is really the crux of this whole thing.

Also known as the song that's played when the White Sox win a game.

That's the shittiest advice you could ever give your child. I think the people who give it should be fined for child abuse. The secret is to get your kid into martial arts when they're five or six.

Jesus Christmas Barr is a real prick! Snickering like a pompous untouchable asshat when saying bernhardt " didnt KNOW he was stepping down" ?! These people really think they are untouchable. Let's show them otherwise.

Being a toadie for Trump, it’s fitting that Bill Barr looks like an actual toad.

Don't be an asshole.

I'm not going to fight disgust to see if someone already said this, but Rep Jeffries didn't just say that was a myth, he also said that's a lie. He called Barr a liar to his stupid ass face.

Good for the Dems for really slamming Barr during this hearing. The fact that Trump admin officials typically light their cigars with subpoenas from Congress suggests to me that Barr only showed up so he could filibuster and put out a metric ton of BS Trump talking points. Soulless, lying, hacks on the right count on Dems to be polite and wait in line and raise their hands before speaking. Nice to see them showing some fire. I don't want cool, calm, and collected from Dems right now. I want them to get mad! It reminds me of something I saw once in a movie.

"We know things are bad — worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot, I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you've got to get mad! [shouting] You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!"

You saw that on a movie? Or you're saying what you saw but adapting it to now? If not what movie was it? Not that I could stand to see it probably. Bad enough all the current events strokes I've been having each day since-- since long ago, it seems. Thx.

It seemed to be Barr put his hand all over his face and made himself look weird whenever congress people with Dark Skins were talking to him. Hoping to suggest they weren't the boss of him. They were, though.

Obama doesn't believe in it. Biden will probably be the same. Maybe Kamala will be vp and she will.

He's directly quoting one of the most famous scenes from the 1976 film "Network". The scene in question is where a TV news anchor essentially has a nervous breakdown on air, leading to one of the best rants in cinema history.
