After lying to the vice president and the FBI about his conversations
with the Russians, Mike Flynn pleaded guilty in court. Bill Barr is
corrupting attempting to undo Flynn's guilty plea.
Here's a road map to
Flynn's crimes, his court proceedings, Barr's attempt to dismiss the
case, and Judge Emmet Sullivan's options in addressing Barr's corrupt
motion to dismiss.

No, Bill Barr. We Will Not Let The Trump Regime Write Our History
No matter what Bill Barr says, we won't let it happen.
By Susie Madrak
Via The Daily Beast, here's Bill Barr at his sleazy, repellent worst:
As it turns out, Billy boy, the hoi polloi have since democratized the written word. And as ugly as that can be (hello, Twitter!), you will never write the history. We will.
Even as someone like Trump is constantly quoting right-wing conspiracy sites, there will always be sites like this who debunk them. Maybe you can intimidate the corporate media into backing off, but you can't intimidate us. And I promise you, we'll have the final word.
And what we're going to write about you will show you for the mean, grasping weasel you are. A behind-the-scenes servile courtier whose only real talent is your amorality, and your ability to bend over and ask for more.
You're a pathetic lump of lard (I don't mean to insult lard) whose repulsive sniffing after power is like a dog licking another dog's ass. We know that everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.
We see you, Bill.
We will tell our grandchildren about the attorney general who worked to break our national justice system in the service of a Russian asset, the worstresident ever. We will teach them to spit on the ground at
the mention of your name.
Congratulations, you win.
Following the Justice Department’s decision to drop the charges againstresidentDonald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty of lying to the FBI, Attorney General William Barr defended the reversal in an interview with CBS News on Thursday. “[The FBI] did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage,” Barr told CBS News, adding that a “crime cannot be established here.” Asked whether it was still true that Flynn lied during an interview with the FBI in 2016, Barr deflected: “Well, people sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes.”
Trump had previously hinted that he was considering a pardon for Flynn. After denying he was doing Trump’s bidding, Barr was asked how history would remember this move. “History is written by the winners, so it largely depends on who is writing the history,” he said with a sly smile.Sen. Chris Murphy was aghast.
"The entire idea of the rule of law—that thing the Attorney General is supposed to be in charge of upholding—is predicated on the outcome of elections NOT mattering when it comes to the operation of the legal system," Murphy said.Yeah, we get it, you canine piece of shite. (Barr, not Murphy.) Like most of history, you assume it will always be written by the 1% - the people who were literate or had access to scribes, the people close to power.

Trump Believes That People Who Die Of Coronavirus Are Losers
Posted by Rude One
As it usually is in these situations, it was the simplest of questions, a potential slamdunk for an ordinary politician, hell, for an ordinary human being. But we are talking aboutresident Donald Trump, who is a
hollowed-out pumpkin filled with a slurry of toxic waste, so the most
ludicrous softball questions become moments of torment and confusion
because he just doesn't get how being a person works.
On Tuesday, at an event where he brayed about the small business loan program that's become a money trough for corporate pigs to feed at, Trump got a question from a reporter. "You’ve spoken about your friend who passed away," the intrepid journalist asked, tossing a soft, underhand pitch. "I was wondering if you have spoken to the families of anyone else who has lost a loved one to COVID-19. If there’s any particular stories that have affected you."
Right now, you, sitting there as a semi-normal human being, you could toss out a couple of examples about stories that affected you. Maybe you could talk about Sklyar Herbert, the 5 year old girl in Detroit, who passed away a week before. Maybe you could mention one of the doctors or other first responders who have been taken out by the disease they were fighting. Maybe you could talk about someone else you know, like the elderly retired professor I knew who I just found out died of coronavirus. It might be emotional. But you could do it, though.
But Trump couldn't. He answered, "Well, I have — I have many people. I know many stories. I’ve spoken to three, maybe, I guess, four families unrelated to me. I did — I lost a very good friend. I also lost three other friends — two of whom I didn’t know as well, but they were friends and people I did business with, and probably almost everybody in the room did. And it’s a — it’s a bad death. It’s not a — it’s — it’s a bad thing. It grips onto some people. Now, we found out that young people do extraordinarily well." And then that was it. The brain worms then made him pivot to schools that are opening up which led him to criticize distance learning because of course he did.
We know that whenever Trump is called upon to offer some kind of sympathy for the dead and sick, he either quickly reads a rote script or he changes the subject, often to how "horrendous" or "brilliant" COVID-19 is, as if it has to be the worst illness in the history of the world because that's the only virus that can be an opponent worthy of Donald Trump.
Trump has made a big show about how he refuses to wear a mask because he's been tested and doesn't have coronavirus. At the event Tuesday, in Oval Office gatherings, neither Trump nor the people there, including Drs. Birx and Fauci, wear masks. You know that he sees wearing a mask as a sign of weakness. You know that he's demanded that no one be allowed to wear masks. No one is gonna make him look like a disease-fearing pussy. He is the uber-mensch. All others cower beneath his exceedingly healthy orange glow.
Essentially, that's his attitude towards the dead. If you get sick, you are weak and you are preventing the economy from "roaring back," so he'll order you back to work or have governors force you back so you lose your unemployment benefits. If you die, you're a loser because it makes him look bad. Here's what he managed to say yesterday: "We mourn — and I have to say this so strongly — we mourn every life tragically lost to the invisible enemy, and we’re heartened that the worst of the pain and suffering is going to be behind us." The worst is not "behind us." We're in the worst right now, with cases rising in some states, falling in others, and staying steady in the others.
The sick and the dead are inconvenient because they prevent him from gallivanting around the country and prancing like a coked-out baboon in front of his adoring, cretinous crowds. He talked about how tragic it would be to have social distancing at his rallies of the damned: "I can’t imagine a rally where you have every fourth seat full. Every — every six seats are empty for every one that you have full. That wouldn’t look too good." Your fever and cough are keeping theresident
from having good-looking campaign events, you selfish fucks.
Note: Of course, as long as it's the poors, immigrants, prisoners, and the weak old people (not strong like his wheezing ass) that die, well, that's just thinning the herd until we get to immunity or something.
But I keep coming back to that fuckin' question. Trump admitted that he has not reached out to a single family of someone who died. He didn't take any time to ring up some widow in Alabama or Texas or Kansas, the states that he won. That's just fucked up. He can't because to do so would be to concede that the deaths mean something beyond lower approval ratings. He can't because he's incapable of exuding the kind of empathy that's necessary to come across as anything other than the popularity-driven, praise-thirsty, narcissistic monster that he is.
Instead, he pretends that 60,000 deaths are bad, but, hey, a million deaths is worse and China must be lying; he's petulantly defensive, pissed off that all these weak losers are dying and that he's supposed to pretend to care. Fuck that. Not when it's more fun to shitpost about Brian Williams or CNN.
He says the disease is going to disappear "like a miracle," except it's not. It's going to slowly peter out, the bodies stacking up, becoming to him like a wall preventing his reelection. Your death means nothing more and nothing less.

The Divine Right Of Trumps
Posted by Rude One
Something Donald Trump said last week has just stuck in my craw. Well, to be fair, every goddamn word out of that shit-ogre's mouth sticks in my craw. My craw is fuckin' full. But this is a little snippet that got no attention whatsoever, but just seems to me to indicate exactly how perverse this entire depressing situation has always been.
Last Tuesday, on April 7, prior to jacking off for the media at his Coronavirus Task Force presser, Trump held the "Small Business Relief Update Meeting," another session where he gets his balls massaged by having everyone tell him how awesome his awesomeness is. In his introductory remarks, prior to lying again about the number of jobs his daughter/genetic spank bank Ivanka has created, Trump said this: "My daughter, Ivanka Trump, who just wants to have people working. That’s what — I gave her lots of options, and - 'What do you like?'" And then he went on to lie-brag, "She started off with a goal of 500,000 jobs, and now she’s up to over 15 million."
Look at what he's admitting there. The motherfuckin'resident of the
United States, who is elected and doesn't inherit the position, said
that he asked his daughter, "What do you want to do in my
administration?" Not what was she qualified for. And, honestly, all
she's qualified to do is be the mascot for a company of cheap knock-offs
of other designers' work and putting her stupid name it. A person with
any self-awareness would have said, "Oh, that's okay. I'm just gonna
keep on abusing sweatshop
workers." But, no, in this telling, Ivanka said, "Daddy, I wish to work
on getting Americans jobs." It's not just that the whole story is a lie
(really, Ivanka's there to make sure Donald doesn't shit himself and
keel over). It's that the lie is disturbing as fuck: The resident let
his daughter choose her job in the White House, like a toy at FAO
Schwarz.
It's of a piece of Trump believing himself the equal to a king, the imperial presidency on Adderall, snorted off his daughter's tits.
Back in the quaint times of the Mueller investigation, when Trump was just a filthy traitor selling out the nation to Russia and not outright murdering Americans, he used to say repeatedly that he had the power to do all the treason he wanted: "Then, I have an Article II, where I have to the right to do whatever I want as president. But I don’t even talk about that," he said at some godforsaken conservative conference of the damned. Of course, he talked about it all the fuckin' time.
And now, over the last few days, Trump has gone even further, asserting that he has the power to decide when individual states are ready to open up for business post-pandemic. On Monday, he asserted, "When somebody is theresident of the United
States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s got to be." And,
as he does when he knows he's fucking wrong, he insisted that others
knew what he was saying. Usually, it's "you know what I'm talking
about," but here it was "And the governors know that." Except the
governors don't "know" that because it's just not fucking true. I just
wanted one governor to say, "Motherfucker, you were too much of a pussy
to close anything. Don't fuckin' get in my face about when to open it,
you anus-lipped, jiggly-jowled prick."
At today's pressturbation session, he didn't just say that he has control over the economies of individual states. He said that he can use his emergency powers to adjourn the Congress so he can recess appoint a bunch of harmful fucks to positions of power. You know, so they can ensure that government for Trump and by Trump continues unabated. He went full batshit: "If the House will not agree to that adjournment, I will exercise my constitutional authority to adjourn both chambers of Congress. The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis. It is a scam what they do. It's a scam." By the way, that "scam" was used to prevent President Obama from recess-appointing anyone.
What was pissing off Trump so much that he needs to provoke another constitutional crisis? The Voice of America news outlet, funded by taxpayers, wasn't sucking his dick. Yeah, VOA reported China's number of coronavirus deaths, and because they didn't say, "Oh, and China eats shit," Trump and Trumpinistas are losing their goddamn minds. Trump wants to put in his own propagandist at the VOA. The VOA asserted independence and freedoms, like press and speech, and that was the greatest sin you can commit when you are dealing with a king.
The pathetic reality is that Trump doesn't have the power of a king (yet) is that he can't make the truth go away. Oh, sure, the fucking idiot hordes, who will suckle at his saggy teats until it kills them, will believe his story.
But the real truth is that Trump had the power to do something to prepare for the coronavirus pandemic and he didn't. He could have waved his hand (in the form of a signature or two) and unleashed the manufacturing power of the United States. He could have coordinated national social distancing early on. He could have taken the WHO's tests and vastly expanded our ability to do them. He had that power: the power to have saved thousands of lives. It was in his tiny hands. And he didn't use it because he couldn't see past his own bloated reflection. How fucking sad is that.
What we're really seeing is the flailing of a pitiful failure, a sad old man screaming at the TV for disagreeing with him. He's going to keep saying this kind of shit and the threat is that he really acts on this. Because then it will once again be up to Republicans to join Democrats in reining in his desire to reign. And if they don't, it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide. And we know how that goes.
It's not even a surprise anymore when Trump escalates to cover up his incompetence and bad decisions. He's like every terrorist: he gets off on seeing shit blow up.

Chuck Schumer Proves He's A Completely Worthless Senator
Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been more than willing to help Donald Trump get his judicial appointments confirmed and working with Mitch McConnell on stimulus bills that only help major corporations.
But when it comes to Trump putting his name on stimulus checks, Schumer has finally decided to grow a spine.
Schumer has introduced legislation to stop this meaningless gesture from Trump with the "No PR Act," and Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why this is beyond infuriating.

Trump Suggests Disinfectant To Kill Virus Inside The Body

Trump, YOU & Bill Gates can go 1st. 💅
Don't worry, we'll WAIT.💁
Donald Trump's daily coronavirus press briefings have been getting stranger by the day, but Thursday's absolutely broke the crazy meter.
Trump told people that the virus might be able to be defeated by heating the body to absurd temperatures, or by putting light inside the body, or, and more dangerously, by injecting disinfectants into a person.
None of these are actual treatments, and some of them are a near guarantee of death, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Democrats Refuse To Fight For Struggling Americans In Latest Relief Bill
The Democratic leaders in Congress are patting themselves on the back today over the fact that they worked with Republicans on a new relief bill that is certain to pass.
The only problem these Democrats have is that they didn't get anything REAL for the American public in these bills, and their "concessions" were things that should have been a no-brainer to pass.
The Democrats aren't fighting for us, at all, and that isn't going to bode well come November. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

CEO: Laying Off Employees Is Doing Them A Favor
"The billionaire owner of the Landry’s restaurant empire told Fox News that his move to swiftly furlough almost all of his 45,000 employees was a “favor” that would help them get unemployment quicker.
Tilman Fertitta, whose portfolio includes ownership of the NBA’s Houston Rockets, as well as Las Vegas’ Golden Nugget casino and nation franchise chains like Joe’s Crab Shack , told Ingraham Angle guest host Brian Kilmeade that laying off workers as soon as possible was a lesson he learned after having survived several recessions.
Fertitta’s latest net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $4.8 billion, making him the 44th richest person in the world.
“The pandemic has affected everyone,” Kilmeade said by way of introducing Fertitta. “All of you watching, all of your friends, all of your family, all of your neighbors. But I could argue that maybe no one has been affected as holistically as my next guest.”*
