I just watched the Barr press conference. No surprises there. Will the Dems and sycophant media tone it down? My guess is no.
I watched a little of it, Waiting for the bomb to drop???
They can't bring themselves to stop. They've dug too deep of a hole to climb out now.
the only drama will be on the Soap Operas on TV not the report
I just hope they didn’t get the OSHA training on holes and it caves in on top of CNN, MSNBC, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and the like. I suspect Adam Shift’s head explodes today at some point.
The saddest thing of all is knowing that there are people out there that identify as Americans who are okay with Nadler and Schiff continuing to waste this country's time and our tax dollars for this nonsense.
Everyone that is found to have played a role in the illegal spying of Trump, the attempted coup, and the perimeter illegalities should be tried for actual treason against the United States.
This country will NOT recover unless some people that may have ACTUALLY broken the law, get indicted.

There are a few key things going on here that are worth noting. The first is that our politics have devolved into a more obvious tribalism than even during the Obama administration. You can see this in the radical shift of the left to oppose anything Trump supports. The border being a perfect example, the policies of the left are radically different from what they were even 5 years ago. This tribalism is impacting our country and seems like this is the root of most of the FBI investigation. Where this becomes a problem for the Democrats is simple. Simply disliking someone is not enough to predicate a massive intrusion into a political campaign.
The reason the democrats are doubling down on all of this stuff is pretty simple. They’re attempting to discredit Bill Barr before the investigations into the genesis of the FISA warrants, Steele dossier, etc. If they can get out ahead of what will likely be very bad news for them, they can lessen his credibility and thus the credibility of what is found.
The second is that we have more low information voters and a media willing to capitalize on that. MSNBC being a perfect example. Their chasing of ratings regarding the Russian investigations and their willingness to post unverified information in that pursuit have caused them to lose tons of viewers following the release of the Mueller report. Because of this, they are also invested in the outcome. The more Barr is discredited, the less they are discredited, and the less their viewership shrinks. They’ll parrot talking points for the foreseeable future to keep chasing that trump bump.
I actually disagree on a few of those counts. I think that some of the better voices on YouTube are the best voices across all platforms. Because the platform itself is more open than others, it allows people to have viewpoints that are unpopular or wouldn’t get huge ratings.
To me, high misinformation is low information, and we have that, plus those people who only read headlines without giving anything much thought. I’m a bit young to remember 1992, but I can say it feels like the echo chambers presented by certain facets of the news and certainly by social media add to that polarization and lack of information.
I think a lot of what’s shown below comes down to those echo chambers at work. I mean, the Democratic Party has openly become the party of anti-semitism, abortion to point of birth, open borders, totally ignoring science, safe spaces, anti-interracial couples, speech is violence, punching nazis(and EVERYONE right of Bill Mahr is a Nazi), etc. etc. Certainly some of this stuff has been around, but they’ve never been so blatant about it.
