I'm not sure what Barr being a part of the establishment has anything to do with Trump's penchant to throw people away as soon as they don't bow down to his stupid demands.Like I don't like Barr being under Trump definitely showed how spineless the dude was.
But this Trump temper tantrum 101 at this point. Someone I said a short while ago was amazing isn't doing exactly what I want then time to get rid of them bash them
Re: Barr has been a good lap dog, why is Trump about to throw him away?

Slashing at Barr on Twitter this weekend instead of focusing on saving American lives amid a deadly surge in coronavirus cases, Trump reminded the nation of one of the truisms about the way he has regarded his allies both in business and politics: everyone is expendable if they do not follow his dictates. No matter how loyal an aide has been -- and regardless of how many times they put their own reputation on the line to do Trump's bidding -- the President has shown no compunction about casting them aside as soon he is convinced they are no longer useful as one of his political tools.https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/13/politics/donald-trump-william-barr-pfizer-vaccine/index.html
Why would anyone trust him?
What happened is what was said would happen with many Trumpers long, they'll turn on Trump when they see the end is near and Trump is lashing out like a child as he always does.
IMO, it's wonderfully delicious when they eat each other. Let them feast on each other's bones. Nom. Nom. Nom.

Trump is having a tantrum, because he wants Barr to hand him reelection in the courts. But Barr is already under investigation for everything he has done to help Trump so far, so he is not willing to do it.

Trump might try to burn down half the party for not giving in to him.

Yep, the democrat establishment and the republican establishment are two sides of the same damn coin.
Like I don't think the Democratic party is that great as whole. I think there are a lot of good factions and groups in it.
That being said it might as well be the greatest party in history when compared to the festering wound that is the modern GOP party.

Agreed with this fully.
I am finally jumping off the "AOC is an idiot" train and jumping on the "AOC means well and is getting better at this" train.
She tweeted out a plan of the stuff the Dems should be focusing on and, for the first time, I saw an idea for free college that I actually agree with:
Simply extending public education to K-14, not K-12. Meaning, the first 2 years of post-secondary is considered part of standard education. That makes sense. Everyone who went to college knows the first year or so of college courses can be "high school 201" stuff.
I'm still not eye-to-eye on things like her Green New Deal or Paris Accord (still stupid ideas).

Nah. If we're going to sit here and compare which side is worse it's easily the democrats... and it's not even close, tbh.Tulsi Gabbard is about the only democrat who isn't a complete and utter p-o-s.
People are dying and these MFers are more concerned about whether or not a poor cashier can possibly take their employers to court for unsafe pandemic conditions.
That to me is textbook p.o.s. antics.

I'm fine with this, needs to happen more imo. The Democrats** need to be challenged from within with good ideas and even overreaching ideas, that's how common ground is found.
**Republicans do too, but they've gone full-blown Party of Trump cult for the last 4 years
