Barr is a fat ugly liar who should be melted down for ambergris.

Ambergris, ambergrease, or grey amber, is a solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull grey or blackish colour produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. Freshly produced ambergris has a marine, fecal odor.
Jesus poopy lol

Bill Barr should be, at an absolute minimum, disbarred and charged with obstruction of justice. What I actually think should happen to Bill Barr is not suitable for a public forum.

It’s been 12 minutes.
Guess you didn’t get the joke.
Under what pretense can I pull a Trump and force my students to watch the music video for “November Rain”?
I’m sure I can do some lesson on power rock ballads.
I mean, I get that’s pretty bad, but Biden isn’t for Medicare for all, so really when you think about it, he and Trump are pretty much the same.

Taco bowls are weak, burrito bowls are where it’s at. Especially the borderline healthy ones.
Regardless, real Mexican food is the GOAT.

“Someone will say the president just won Nevada. ‘Oh, wait a minute! We just discovered 100,000 ballots! Every vote will be counted!’ Yeah, but we don’t know where these freaking votes came from,” Barr said, promising to watch “Key Largo.”
Who wants to tell him Key Largo isn’t in Nevada?

It’s a weird fact pattern. He apparently called the police and a deputy showed up and neither found a body.
Good news for one Pennsylvania Biden vote: I was able to get my registration switched to the new county and I switched it from vote by mail to in person. I confirmed that I am no longer registered in Philly and no mail-in ballot will be sent out by the Philadelphia County Board of Elections, and I’m waiting for a call back from my new county to confirm that no ballot will be sent there and I’m good to vote in person.
I have probably made 6 or 7 calls about all of this by now, and I’ve been given inaccurate advice that would have led to me casting a provisional ballot without realizing it if I took it… so not great on that front.

No way. Leaving the scene of an accident is a huge hole in DWI jurisprudence. Very difficult to prove someone was intoxicated when they’re not caught at the time. It’s why leaving the scene is it’s own crime, but usually is not as serious as the underlying potential charge.

I don’t know, man. How can I trust what you say? All I know is this stuff isn’t what mom fed us, which was a lot of beans and tortillas.
ALL TROOPS MATTER!

If JordanIB is white, then seems standard to me. Good apple still undiscovered, I’d say.

Huh? I’m saying taco bowls and burrito bowls are not real Mexican food, although I like burrito bowls, and real Mexican food is the GOAT. Like the food I’ve had in my brief foray into Mexico, and in Socal, Texas and Vegas, from family-owned Mexican restaurants is basically my favorite food in the world. Really good Thai can compete.

The messages have been emanating in recent months from the accounts of young people in Arizona seemingly expressing their own views — standing up for President Trump in a battleground state and echoing talking points from his reelection campaign.
Far from representing a genuine social media groundswell, however, the posts are the product of a sprawling yet secretive campaign that experts say evades the guardrails put in place by social media companies to limit online disinformation of the sort used by Russia during the 2016 campaign.
Teenagers, some of them minors, are being paid to pump out the messages at the direction of Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA, the prominent conservative youth organization based in Phoenix, according to four people with independent knowledge of the effort. Their descriptions were confirmed by detailed notes from relatives of one of the teenagers who recorded conversations with him about the efforts.
The campaign draws on the spam-like behavior of bots and trolls, with the same or similar language posted repeatedly across social media. But it is carried out, at least in part, by humans paid to use their own accounts, though nowhere disclosing their relationship with Turning Point Action or the digital firm brought in to oversee the day-to-day activity. One user included a link to Turning Point USA’s website in his Twitter profile until The Washington Post began asking questions about the activity.
…
The effort generated thousands of posts this summer on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, according to an examination by The Post and an assessment by an independent specialist in data science. Nearly 4,500 tweets containing identical content that were identified in the analysis probably represent a fraction of the overall output.
The months-long effort by the tax-exempt nonprofit is among the most ambitious domestic influence campaigns uncovered this election cycle, said experts tracking the evolution of deceptive online tactics.
“In 2016, there were Macedonian teenagers interfering in the election by running a troll farm and writing salacious articles for money,” said Graham Brookie, director of the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. “In this election, the troll farm is in Phoenix.”
…
The online salvo targeted prominent Democratic politicians and news organizations on social media. It mainly took the form of replies to their posts, part of a bid to reorient political conversation.
The messages — some of them false and some simply partisan — were parceled out in precise increments as directed by the effort’s leaders, according to the people with knowledge of the highly coordinated activity, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect the privacy of minors carrying out the work.
One parent of two teenagers involved in the effort, Robert Jason Noonan, said his 16- and 17-year-old daughters were being paid by Turning Point to push “conservative points of view and values” on social media. He said they have been working with the group since about June, adding in an interview, “The job is theirs until they want to quit or until the election.”
…
Those recruited to participate in the campaign were lifting the language from a shared online document, according to Noonan and other people familiar with the setup. They posted the same lines a limited number of times to avoid automated detection by the technology companies, these people said. They also were instructed to edit the beginning and ending of each snippet to differentiate the posts slightly, according to the notes from the recorded conversation with a participant.
Noonan said his daughters sometimes work from an office in the Phoenix area and are classified as independent contractors, not earning “horrible money” but also not making minimum wage. Relatives of another person involved said the minor is paid an hourly rate and can score bonuses if his posts spur higher engagement.
…
The messages have appeared mainly as replies to news articles about politics and public health posted on social media. They seek to cast doubt on the integrity of the electoral process, asserting that Democrats are using mail balloting to steal the election — “thwarting the will of the American people,” they alleged.
The posts also play down the threat from covid-19, which claimed the life of Turning Point’s co-founder Bill Montgomery in July. One post, which was spread across social media dozens of times, suggested baselessly that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is inflating the death toll from the disease. (Most experts say deaths are probably undercounted.)
