I have to wonder if Trump wanted stuff that even Barr drew the line at -- which would be a line quite lower than the low standard Barr was consistently giving him.
My fave NPR commentator (Andrea Cabral) said that Barr was actually acting properly holding back news about the Hunter Biden investigation (a real one, it seems) because it looks to be exactly the kind of affair that you don't want to spring prematurely if there's substance to it, so that you don't tip your hand and send the bad actors scurrying.
Wow, first time in a long time I was away from the news all day, and Bill Barr resigns. Not bad. I hope he's miserable and so is the orange asshole.
Barr was fired. At top levels in DC you get told you need to "step down" to avoid the optics of being fired. Trump booted him because he failed to deliver the election, but didn't rage-fire him because he's otherwise been colon-licking loyal.
Yeah, I want to meara responses to everyone, but I lack the brain.
Gumball's 18 months. He's still pretty big for his age and has mastered All The Motor Skills. His receptive language is good enough that we're probably entering the Spelling Things years. He's been a whiney boob monster the past couple of days, but we put him to bed early, so hopefully that will help his mood.
I have many feelings about the Barr news, but I have no idea how to parse any of them...4 more days of school.
We're looking at a day or two a month of furlough starting in January...but no word whatsoever about what that schedule might look like, and I am SO FUCKING SICK of not being told things.
My day started with a zoom group therapy meeting followed by a zoom funeral. Can I be done with today now?
Goodness, sj. That's more than one day packed into just a morning.
My odd name tracking gets another hit; Twins names Sincere and Loyal.
That reminds me of the hilarious dinner conversation my family once had about what to name my sister's impending child if it turned out to be twins (it did not) since her married name was Lee. My favorites were Ho and Mo.
