There is just no shame. These people finally get power and their true beliefs are just pouring out in the form of real policy that hurts, and in some cases kill, people.
Shocking.

Horowitz’s report addresses in detail the cause — referred to in law enforcement circles as “predication” — for opening the Russia investigation. The bureau did so after the Australian government passed to the United States a tip that George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign aide, had boasted about Russia having political dirt on Clinton.
The boasts came before it was publicly known the Kremlin had hacked Democratic emails and stolen information that might be damaging to Clinton’s campaign. Papadopoulos had been told of the possible dirt by Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor.

U.S. officials have long said that they were duty bound to follow up on what seemed to be an alarming tip. The standard for opening an investigation is low. FBI officials need only an “articulable factual basis” to believe there has been possible criminal activity or a threat to national security. U.S. officials suspect that Mifsud has ties to Russian intelligence.
Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Mifsud, has alleged, though, that he believes Mifsud is some type of Western intelligence asset and that he was set up.
People familiar with the matter said Horowitz queried U.S. intelligence agencies to determine whether there was any truth to that claim and found no evidence Mifsud was a U.S. asset. He also reached out to Durham to see whether the prosecutor had found anything that might contradict that assessment, and Durham said he had no such evidence, people familiar with the matter said.
Barr told NBC News that Durham’s review could reach an “important watershed” in the late spring or early summer — just as the presidential campaigns are intensifying ahead of the election in November.
He is more dangerous than trump
But are they more dangerous than Bernie?
Yes. Bernie would be largely ineffective because the Dems aren't nearly as cultish as the right.
Good because i haven't.Great, then how about you don't use the same words to describe Bernie in one thread that you use to describe Trump and Barr in another.
