Bill Barr reportedly warned TFG swing voters think he's a 'f---ing a--hole' before election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The new book about former President Donald Trump's final days in office, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa's Peril, has already caused some big (if perhaps exaggerated) waves about Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley's actions to stop Trump from potentially starting a war to somehow stay in office. But there are "lesser revelations that may be catnip for political junkies," Politico reports, teasing a few "nuggets."

One of them involves former Attorney General William Barr and a "come to Jesus" meeting he had with Trump in April 2020. Barr, who would stay on for most of the rest of Trump's presidency, reportedly saw how the election could go and wanted to give Trump some frank political advice about the "charm offensive" he had to wage to win back the suburbs and "repair work" he had to do with Republicans and independents who liked his policies but not his personality. "They just think you're a f---ing a--hole," Barr reportedly told Trump.

Trump did not take that advice. He told Barr his base wanted him to "fight" for them, Woodward and Costa report. And after Trump lost and Barr told reporters there was no widespread election fraud, Trump reportedly told him, "You must have said that because you hate Trump, you must really hate Trump."

1. So I have to agree with Bill Barr on one thing, at least:

TFG is a fucking asshole.

[Coventina]

2. He talks about himself in the third person?

Why do I even bother to be surprised at this point?

6. Well he does think he's the second coming of Christ

8. Very few Repukes ever dare talk to Chump that way

So ... credit where credit is due.

However the facts remain that Bill Barr is ALSO a fucking asshole, and he needs to lose his legal credentials and go to jail for what he (Bill Barr) did in the last 2 years of Chump's presidency.

10. Yes, it is amazing irony, isn't it?

Hello, Mr. Pot. Meet Mr. Kettle..........

9. Why was the US Attorney General advising a president on campaign strategy?
