Bill Barr was that selfish American, during WW2, who when asked to give up elastic for the war effort, whined about how the request was 'disturbingly' close to the government going through his underwear drawer. It's the pandemic, stupid!
The government in the rest of the world are thanking us for staying at home, here in the UK the MSM anger me at the press briefing constantly asking when the lockdown will be over thus angering the UKlockdown public Barr AGB COVIDIOTS Trump
This is what happens when you have a bunch of 70 year olds running the country when they should be enjoying their Retirement.
Well, I don’t feel this as house arrest. I stay home because I understand that I’m saving my life and the lives of so many. I’m also respecting the work of healthcare workers. Not everything is about your liberties rights. This quarantine is about teamwork and being resilient.
Its psychology. No one likes hearing NO YOU CANNOT. We are land of the free home of the brave. You cuddled the psychopath NOW the shoe is on the other foot hope it’s not too tight for your swollen feet.
I think Barr is a fascist and wants people to die from the virus. Plenty blood on his hands I think. All he is good at is licking Trumps arse
Scamdemic
Barr is the 2nd place suck up to Trump Pence has the 1 spot sewed up Once Trump destroys himself wonder how these 2 & others try to distance themselves Sorry boys, Trumps stench won’t wash off for a decade or 2
You are getting very close to causing an uprising, Barr. This is just more of the underhanded leadership techniques of Trump. At some point these people must be held accountable.
AGWilliamBarr personally, this ain’t gonna gain you much unless you want to sink on the same ship as da trumpster. Trumpster has dug a hole and looking to see whom he can bury with him. agb
AGWilliamBarr watch it fatso or you will have more suits filed then you know what to do with. Governors have every right to protect their constituents whom are anything close to being under house arrest. Most are surrounded by Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs, etc. AGwilliamBarr
Why is he still in office?
In Michigan today, you can buy marijuana but you can’t buy seeds for your garden in many stores.!! As well as we cannot go to our vacation homes in the north!! We can’t use our own property!! If this isn’t going to far nothing is !! Don’t wait prosecute her now stop this NOW!!!!!
Gfy Bill Barr. We are not even close to house arrest. TheJusticeDept MAGA 💀
🤬Barr is an abuse to health and safety
That’s why you don’t want lawyers to control a country.
Except for that little part that allows you to leave if you want. Go walk around Walmart for 3 hours( if you want) wait in line at a drive thru( if you want) take a bike ride, mail a letter, see what's in a Rent-a-center, Lowe's, Jump off a cliff.....
Hopefully he won't be Attorney General next year.
F-barr
Nobody is forced to stay at home it’s recommend, and thank god most Americans are smart enough to listen and do so. These actions save lives!
Wow resign DisbarBarr
He is a great personal lawyer unfortunately that is not his job
Bugger off
RachelandWolf Part of the Republican parties plan to blame all the negative effects of COVID19 on the Governor’s, since the hardest hit states have Democratic Governors. TeflonDon
Boss Trump tells his Consigliari to WAX SYMPATHETIC. And Stonewall Barr obliges.
Hey two chins sue the lyin governor of Rhody. Way over dictator
Why isn't AG Barr impeached? His role as Trump's contact, with Rudy, in the extortion of the Ukrainian president for USA aid money has gone unpunished.
Old sleazebag sez what? Barr
DisbarBarr ImpeachBarrNow
He may have a point but he lost all credibility a year ago with the way he handled the Mueller Report.
DenverChannel Trump & friends are making this worse. They want to cause panic so the billions they're taking will benefit them and their corporate buddies.
If demonrats and media tell liberals to kill their pets tomorrow the sheeple would do just that!!! They are so brainwashed they can’t think on their own.
Barr is toxic. He vilifies loyal intelligence agents, shields criminals and disparages the one thing we all can do to slow the pandemic from spreading and killing more of us. He must not only go, but we need to investigate him thoroughly. He’s the fox in the hen house.
This dude is psycho! We need to press charges against him for attempted murder for trying to get people to put themselves in harms way!
GOP actions should be to curb the pandemic by providing the states with continuous testing and medical supplies. Testing should be done on workers to make sure they are not infectious before returning to work. It can be used as a baseline&simultaneously aid in contact tracing
Barr should of been under house arrest several months ago.
I love how all the people that accused this administration of fascism have found some way to twist their brains into a pretzel once again. Apparently civil liberties are fascist. 😂
AGWilliamBarr you are right we shouldn't infringe on their civil liberties, in return when these protestors get covid-19 they should not infringe on the medical staffs rights to NOT GET COVID 19. So tell the protestors to just stay home.
Geez this guy makes me sick!
You my dear Sir are delusional!
AMERICANS BETTER FIGHT THIS YWAR, IM SO TIRED OF THEM, KILLING PEOPLE AND SEEKING TOTAL CONTROL IN A COINTRY WHERE THATS JUST NOT WHAT WE DO
He can rot in hell!
William Barr has zero credibility to call balls and strikes he’s destroyed his reputation so any opinion he has to me is like listening to Rush Limbaugh just gross!
This man is seriously out of touch—careless—reckless and overstepping his bounds I hope he does try to take. NY to court. He will get his clock cleaned
DenverChannel Sorry, not sorry you’re loosing money on your investments, Bill. We
POTUS WhiteHouse Ah yes, Leave it in the hands of the Governors to solve this problem and then tell them we are going to sue you for going too far. GREAT LEADERSHIP! TrumpAdministration MUST GO!
That’s what you should be worried about. Time for coup. These mfkrs really think they own this country.
Try to remember that God Destroyed Egypt for all of her Evil and Corruption in the Bible with a Plague and then Drowning Pharaoh and his Army in the Red Sea. I think you better start paying a little more Attention to Obedience to God. I mean you have to Admit America is Corrupt
👏👏👏👏👏
The governors are keeping the people in their state safe. Thank you for doing so.
Competing well with Hannity, Conway, Bannon, & McConnell!
Except it isn't.
DenverChannel William Barr, worst lawyer ever and should be dis-Barred.
Are there lenses in his glasses frames?
I wish Fred Flintstone would shut the hell up!
Your illy pad awaits you.
But he kisses the ass of the worst president ever that’s why he still have a job to witch he sucks at doing.
Bar eat shit and die.
Are courts even hearing cases?
Brilliant!
BarrResign now
Bring on the fight fat boy
Ppl that don’t obey these orders can become ill and put tremendous strain on the healthcare system, they also risk infecting other ppl, and first responders. That’s reckless behaviour that endangers lives. Sounds like a legal matter to me?
DenverChannel This flipping clown.. if any charges should be filed, it should be on you Barr!
I am happy to stay home over Dying.
Fred Flinstones should stick to bowling.
I’m going below the belt here, but does Bill19293640 have sleep apnea induced cerebral hypoxia or is he Covid+? hypoxia sleepapnea COVID19
Sue Barr, for obstruction and wrongful death!!!!
Just do it already... This situation is ridiculous
FrancisWegner Shouldn't we all have the right to drive under the influence and kill a few people? I mean, civil liberties.
A Czar 😂😜
And the Governor's opening too soon is disturbingly close to sending their citizens off to Auschwitz for testing.
Most of us are staying at home voluntarily, because we do not want us or other people to get sick. Just following common sense rules.
Keep seeing this headline, but nothing on the particular restrictions Barr is concerned about. Could you please list those “stay-at-home” restrictions Barr wants to take legal action against? I don’t like to read about general threats, please provide specifics.
He knows that he has no authority to do anything here This is just busywork (just like the Durham 'investigation') to show Trump he's showing those blue state governors who's boss
“States rights!” I shout, confused
William Barr is a right wing crime boss. The man in charge of DOJ is a danger to our nation. CoverUpGeneral Fixer
Guess he’s considering himself lucky he doesn’t live in Italy. What a moron.
YOUR ATTITUDE IS DISTURBING!!!! IT’S A PANDEMIC!!!! GUESS WHO IS NUMBER ONE COUNTRY AFFECTED GLOBALLY? IS THAT NOT A CLUE........?
Ppl are upset because they are healthy and being quarantined and they are right. There is no reason to quarantine this many healthy ppl unless someone fucked up royally. As a country we need to get our shit together, manufacture tests and develop a plan to isolate only the sick.
Billy. It. Is. A. Pandemic. Pay. Attention.
This guy gonna undo all the hard work did to stop the spread. Uneducated, incompetent, lack of intelligence, poor communication between brain cells!
Striking resemblance...
Gun stores are essential, abortions are suddenly illegal and people are highly discouraged and prevented to vote so what's the problem?
🙄🙄🙄
👊👊🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He can go to hell
GOOD!!!!
DenverChannel
ABC/Disney I don't see the 'recently a federal judge questioned Barr's legal standing as he 'caused Court to seriously question whether AG Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse in favor of Trump despite findings to the contrary.'
Barr is wrong because the federal government can't tell states what to do when it comes to the health of the public in each individual state.
Why hasn't William Barr been arrested yet for his crimes? Oh yeah, he runs the department that investigates them.
Where do Trump find this confused minds that submit to him?
Take it easy Rosie
Shut up.
Deputy Dawg is growling.
Said the Klu Klux Klan
😂🤣😂 what is happening
Unbelievable!
Are you talking about the most stupid man in government? Or the second most? They are both going to prison if I have a say!
Trump2020Landslide
Maybe Bar and mayoroflasvegas are both the result of kissing cousins
The MAN.
Take some more hydroxycloriiquin
Thank GOD! For freed loving leaders!
It's the State Governors decision. It's a pandemic. STOP doing Trump's bullying for him. Good cop, bad cop needs to stop! Had YOU DONE YOUR JOBS we would've been FAR more prepared and things less dire. Downplaying thru mid-March? There's the REAL legal issue!!! MAGAFAIL
He and Las Vegas Mayor Goodman... ....damn people, we need to stay home.... don't open up until we get control of this mess tRump exacerbated!!!
Right now the US death toll is approaching 50,000. By the time you read this it will probably have passed 50,000. Our civil liberties are not being curtailed; 'your fist ends where another's nose begins'. This is a pandemic and people's lives depend on us not being selfish.
Not like house arrest !
This man is a danger to us all. Why is he doing this? Is it just a hobby project or what?
And then what is he going to do? Send the FBI? As if they would follow him.
People need to understand that no one has forgotten anyone’s human rights,but billions of people have adhered to calls to staying home,meaning they have valued individual life over human rights and humanity to save each other from the COVID19 🦠
REALLY!!!!!! Next pandemic let's allow people to run around free and infect the world. WOW!!!
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡
Well then, let USAGBarr go to work with an actual person and deal with the general public all day, every day. Let's see how sick he gets.
He is DISTURBING.
I’d love to know if BB is out and about.
ABC inews s an example of everything wrong with America.
Anyone that does anything that chooses anything over life is a murder in opinion...
April 22nd 2020. The Wealthy look down on the world pee,ing on it with disdain Waiting for the Oil plants and Cole plants to fire up and fill their pockets with money again. Opening the Factories around the world with the poor working for nothing till they drop dead. Who care,s ?
criminal
For crying out loud and for the sake of your lives this is to protect the citizens from dying, we still don’t have a vaccine and you all want to attack governors for doing their jobs of protecting their state are you kidding me this isn’t taking anyone’s right’s away
You know, Mr Barr.. You would have to accept responsibility for the lives of the people who elected you to sense these governors’ burden. Oh, almost forgot. No one elected you. 🤨
William Barr crimes everyday to protect 45 to protect him self. Nothing to be confused about.
One person died every 32 seconds from Covid-19 in the United States.
Freedom to travel. Constitutional right.
Sowing anarchy from DOJ and WH, where in the hell is our leadership. Trump is creating chaos and thousands are dying as a result.
Good. We all accept reasonable measures for public health but unfortunately those darn models have driven some to put policies based on fear with little practical sense.
This guy... really? Pathetic
He’s so disgusting as a person and I’m not just taking about his 18 chins
We are not enjoying being trapped inside. We are forced to be here not due to stay at home orders, but due to THE CONTINUED LACK OF TESTING. If there is no data on this, we are not going anywhere. How thick are these 'leaders' in Washington?
Fuck Barr.
Fascist Americans committing suicide. What's not to like about this?
Barr is disturbingly obese
THIS INDICTMENT MAKES ME WONDER .WHY IS MANAFORT CHARGES SO LIGHT?
He seemed like such a smart guy. AIR HIGH FIVE BRUH!
🍳GOPPropaganda
Omg. Do these people not understand what they're unleashing?
No state has set restrictions that people cannot leave their house, they're asked to not go shopping unless it is for essential products and that if they leave for exercise, they maintain a safe social distance from others.
KerriKupecDOJ TELL BARR HE HAS LARGER PROBLEMS.. TRUMP UKRAINE PAUL MANAFORT AND FIRTASH
They would have never had to happen if Trump would have just taken action sooner.
I'm not sure if any news outlets had seen any post us people have been tweeting hear on Twitter. Let me add. My Service Connected Claim has been sent to the Washington DC appeals board for it,s final ruling. It go,s back to the 1970,s if I win. For PTSD xcetera. Pisces Inventor.
The Wealthy bend to the prospect of poverty and lack of control over their destiny. The poor stand in the face of adversity. The Future waits for no one. The present hear and now is our last Swan Song.
The death of the 'states' rights' argument in the Trump administration.
Sure, Jan. GOPCorruptionOverCountry DisbarBarr
Shut up Bill Barr!
If our 'leaders' are more than auctioneers to the highest bidder filling their own pockets, they can prove their worth by finding solutions, safety and freedom Economic collapse will cause more death than CV will & we will face CV along with starvation homelessness violence etc
Mr Attorney General please lead by example, you be the first one out the gate once restrictions are lifted, go to the shopping malls shake hands, give hugs, but also be the first one to sign waver denying medical assistance once you contact the Coronavirus!
He’s a real flying horse’s A$$. Would love to send him tickets to a rally with a bunch of unmasked Trump supporters. He can tell me about freedom from inside his respirator... JERK! gtconway3d MaddowBlog CNNPolitics realDonaldTrump VP KellyannePolls CNN NBCNews POTUS
Now he is concerned with rights...
What a jerk! Worse than I thought!
65% of America knows that Barr, is CORRUPT, Because if u, work for Trump, u, have 2, b, a, LIER', that's just part of Barr's JOB!🤥☠🗣☠🤒☠😷☠👺😥
And if one person dies because of that he belongs in Prison
Good!
No one actually thinks this. Stay home. Stay safe.
Bare is definitely hit by covid19 on his brains. He would prefer Frontline to die than saving lives.
DOJ dumb office jagoff!
What a twisted and corrupt man how is he DOJ ?
Is it as bad as being confined to a box underground?
jackass
You're a great man Attorney Barr
Let him blend with regular people. All politicians are well protected!
So state’s rights are now thrown out the window?🤷🏻♀️
Here's a corrupt man, with nothing to do.
The DOJ will lose GOP support if they fuck with states rights🤷🏻♂️👌This is The end of this 4 year fucking nightmare...
No one is under house arrest. People can exercise sensibly or go to the grocery store.
I read this in the original German
Really? “The DOJ wants chief judges to be able to detain people indefinitely without trial during emergencies”
Prevent viruses
yes please! it is and we've opened up pandoras box of liberal utopian fantasy to control people. we must resist and strike down!
Good
Disbar Barr.
Attorney General Barr will you keep quite.🤫
Good G-d I hope so!!!
Again, thanks to suburban white women for their 2016 vote. You got 'conservative' judges and the COVID19 response you voted for.
Get out. Now.
This idiot needs to resign he cannot bring any charges on anyone for keeping people in the house safe and sound I repeat people are safer in their houses not spreading the disease if Barr wants to get the disease fine let him die who cares but leave everybody else alone
😂😂😂😂
Shut up. Do nothing clown
Barr will be held accountable when the new AG comes in.
美國司法部不用再考慮了 很明顯是軟禁 現在就行動吧 美國人權正在被蚕食 美國民眾已失去人生自了 你有種就直接控告吧 垃圾
So, not being able to go window shop or congregate while still being allowed to go run basic errands or go for a walk outside of one's heated/AC home, which is wi-fi connected to TV's and other devices, is considered 'house arrest' by AG Barr? 🤔 COVID19 StayAtHome
Whatever happened to State's rights. These goons really believe this is a Dictatorship. The Justice department can indict a sitting President but they can indict Governors for fulfilling their constitutional duties?
Michigan gretchinhitler
What charges can be brought against this man? He's despicable
They already have.
Bull shit
AG Barr investigate this first then we'll talk about states being left on their own to handle a NATIONAL health crisis. We The People don't need government on the federal level. It is a complete waste of our money. Those taxes could be left in our pockets.
All this over something that The Flu makes look like the common cold.
This is the same corrupt attorney general who wanted the power to hold people without charges during emergencies!
Barr has a few screws loose
Totally Constitutional in an Emergency. State has precedence over the Feds. Maybe Barr missed that course in school.
Trump Consigliari Stonewall Barr is REALLY worried about 'civil liberties'. 💩
About time this is addressed!!
So it comes down to fear. The choice is yours. Capitulate to a lunatic? Circumvent states rights? Arrest powers? Death? This threat is empty. Stay at home & live or endanger family. Listen to trump or Barr and die. This crisis emphasizes that the GOP don’t know how to govern.
I’m pregnant. I don’t feel like I’m under house arrest. I feel like I am keeping myself and my baby safe. And if our governor decides to ease restrictions too early, im not sure I’d be ready to leave my home right away. Thankfully Gov. Baker is doing a great job - IMO.
Didn't realize DOJ stood for Dumb Old Jerks. 😼
Hey double chin. Sue Cranston
The puppet speaks
So all the crap Trump does is cool but staying inside to keep your family alive needs to be looked into. 🤡
It is sad to see people happily give up their rights so easily. Trump-hating Americans also, I thought people called him a dictator?
Since he’s older and visibly obese, Barr should do the country a favor and go hang out at the mall for a few hours. Buy some khakis. Catch a virus that disproportionately kills his segment of society.
Good luck with that coronavirus
You not in the limelight any more Barr. You are becoming obsolete
Fascist Americans committing suicide. What's not to like about this? China is laughing at you.
So let's show Barr what real house arrest is!
Thank god he’ll be gone in November with the rest of the Administration
Zero regards until he got the virus. By then too late. Bye.
What's disturbing is people not practicing social distance. I don't feel like I'm under house arrest. I can walk in my neighborhood or sit outside and listen to the birds chirping. I feel safe.
What would Fred and Barney do?
Clearly the AG of the TheJusticeDept hasn't read the constitution.
He can go to hell.
SUCH A P&
So when a spike in infection and death occurs, anyone who supports reopening the states will have blood on their hands.
.TheJusticeDept “Attorney General Barr” and “civil rights” do not belong in the same sentence!
This virus is never going away. Herd immunity is the only way.
Rightfully so!
Schumer, Read the Constitution! He will win!
Stayhome works trump lackeys DON'T
He's right.
This timeline of the obstructionists actions should be concerning to ALL Americans. The 24/7 obstructionists are costing us thousands and thousands of lives
This fatso's mouth must be restricted!!
Yeah but....what are our elected officials doing about Barr’s multiple improper conduct, and what have they done about it? Occasional lip service. It’s time for them to do the job we elected them to do. Talk is cheap. Let’s see some action.
Wait, so the AG is threatening our governors? umm...Dr. Trump & Dr. Barr need to step back and let science & our govs lead.
Wrong again
Pea brained Schumer is overwhelmed easily.
In WW2 you came together for the Countries and the worlds good. The union, it’s governments , it’s private companies and civil and religious bodies all working in partnership.All this to defeat the common enemy. You were the engine of the war effort. Now?
Libs: Freedom is the new Hitler.
Go get’em Senator. Quit Screwing around with Killer 45 and his Corrupt Cronies and Corrupt Cronies. Put it to these Monsters. Stay True and Vote Blue
Translation. The AG of the US is corrupt af
Cryin Chuck due soon more crying
Is a united leftist cabal shredding the constitution and their own state economies via health orders worse than a monarchy? I think so, at least there's only one head on a monarchical snake. Now, do we not have a hydra?
Schumer is quite full of both himself and shit.
This man never gets any thing right...
Only a Dem would claim a POTUS defending civil liberties is “monarchical” and yet Dems still don’t understand why they lose elections.
Buying a gallon of vodka Ok in Michigan Buying a gallon of paint to paint your living room in Michigan. Against the law
SenSchumer the Constitution says otherwise which is the law of the land. You are out of your league
Barr is a sad sack, can't wait to watch him get skewered for the rest of his miserable days.
Opinions.. now you look like an arse
SenSchumer I'm just saying realDonaldTrump
Schumer is so 1980s ...
You and your ice cream make no sense Pelosi👎🏾‼️
It’s all politics with Pelosi! Worthless trash stealing our money for 40 years to buy your mansion , I don’t want or need your F ing opinion anymore! He is right OPEN THE F ING ECONOMY, only reason to stay closed is POLITICAL
beachlover_92 Nancy Pelosi using common sense, something the maga people can't comprehend.
Barr is fed up with democrat governors abusing there power and going against the peoples constitutional rights, Pelosi has violated the Ca guidelines has her kids and grandkids come over,. Many have already filed lawsuits on there states for going above the guideline.
The Speaker understands senselessness
😂😂
It’s too bad the wrong people are d****. We might have a better 🌎
This Douchebag thinks we’re communist China where we can be locked down just because certain authoritarian state governments invent laws to do so. Reality check, we have a constitution that we live by.
Balance people....balance Balance reopen staysafe COVID19 covid politics helppeople
