In short, if Barr decides to prosecute them for their extraordinary and deep-seated criminality, he will be pushing the institutions of government, some of which have been thoroughly corrupted and tainted by the Obama administration, over the edge of the precipice.

You say that like it’s a bad thing…

Starts in kindergarten by a leftist feminist teacher who prevents the boys from playing with guns and trucks and prevents the girls from dolls… etc

Why did a powerfully built male nursing home worker repeatedly pummel an elderly nursing home patient AND video the entire affair AND post the video on the web for all to see?

The nursing home ‘worker’ has prior mental issues… but was cheap and willing to work, and so they did not look to the prior history… (his father is ashamed)

as for the others… fulfilling the predictions of the prophet of their religion they ALL did the same thing… go after ‘hidebound’ culture in their midst… for germans it was jews, for mao it was another group, etc… read the magyar struggle… but i have found that no one really wants to know why, they dont like the actual answer, they want an answer they want… and that is not satisfying (at least not to people who dont practice taoisms concepts).. so they will keep answering and asking the same question endlessly and completely ignore the unsatisfying but actually true answer… “engels told them to do it” magyar struggle ==> my struggle ==> world war to remove hidebound cultures to move into the future… china hating the Uighurs is the same… its also no different with the people of islam following their prophet and the twelvers believing they can induce him to appear if they can create the conditions (and not just make a double set of bad)… they are all fulfilling the words of their prophets of their “religions”

I believe that where you went to school (college!), and where you live, are quite important. The polarization rot of current America, which I label as Democrat Derangement Syndrome, starts in college and continues later in life.

The old idea of college ‘diversity’ is to get multiple reasoned opinions. But now in most colleges they object to and suppress Republican ideas – so everybody mouths the PC ideas of the time. So the grads claim to be open minded in their (irrational) hatred of Bush, Palin, Trump, Kavanaugh, Trump, Flynn, Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Ivanka (Trump), Rand Paul, and every Rep., especially Trump. DJ Trump is the most big-spending, gay friendly, black friendly Republican since WW II. Yet Dems hate him, especially. Maybe because he’s so friendly & big-spending, so their usual anti-Rep rhetoric is rationally weak?

Well, living in DC is a huge bubble. All the “right people” hate Trump. “Trump is literally Hitler”. This terrible and stupid idea dominates most of the political discourse among the college educated, and among blacks. (See Biden’s stupid claim that those who support Trump over him “ain’t black”.) It’s probably actually stronger among the college educated, where many blacks are merely habitual Democrats now.

Art D: “If you look at the 17 largest urban settlements in this country, Republicans are competitive in about three of them, and nearly all their strength is in the surburban jurisdictions.” If your point is that DC is not so different from NYC or Seattle – full of TrumpHating Dems (college grads and otherwise), you should be more clear about that.

If your claim is that there are plenty of Rep voices even in the deepest blue TrumpHating places, then I think you’re wrong. Especially in DC, where “good hearted” people come to DC in order to idealistically make the gov’t work for the “good of the people”, which requires that the bureaucracy where they work gets more money and resources in order to accomplish their Great Mission which they’ve been working so hard on, for so long, and it’s only been failing because of a lack of resources and that damn Nixon Trump standing in their way from succeeding is solving the Big Problem that they know more resources for their bureaucracy would allow them to succeed, and their failure proves that Trump is EVIL for opposing their Great Mission, which is so Good, for so many people, if only they would get enough gov’t cash to finally be able to do their jobs and solve that Big Problem…
(repeat ad nauseum, preferably in a single Faulkner like never ending paragraph of nuanced repetition.)

DC is quite a bit different from other cities, in being even more pro-Fed gov’t to solve all problems.
.

(I came here, again, to mention a fear that the news will be faster than Neo’s speculative explanation, but DC vs Seattle is more important.)

You can say that the DC suburbs in northern VA dominate the politics in the rest of the state or that the Puget Sound voters dominate WA politics but that’s about it.

No pass on this one Art. An example of the misuse of statistics.

I can explain something to you. I cannot comprehend it for you.

That’s what makes it so very, very, very dumb. I mean, for pity’s sake, vomiting up a bunch of data doesn’t make you look smart in this situation. It makes you look like you’re somewhere on the Autism spectrum.

What is your actual argument here? That someone who is born and spends their entire life Washington, DC, is exactly the same as someone who is born and spends their entire life in Tyler, Texas? That where you live and with whom you spend your entire life associating have NO EFFECT on you as a person? That is the truly stupid argument you seem to be making. If it’s not, try to more concise.

Responding to the fact that Washington, DC, registered voters are nearly 76 percent Democratic to nearly 6 percent Republican by blathering on about Seattle and “urban settlements” is the opposite of concise.

While we’re at it, these are the high-priced duffers who blew his case the first time.

His background suggests he’s a rank-and-file lawyer. I don’t think that’s typical on the federal bench. More a municipal judge.

I’m not dying on any hills. I’m disputing a notion of yours, which is that living in Washington per se is all that important.

About 85% of those living in the dense settlement around Washington are in the suburban jurisdictions, so I don’t know why you’re limiting your discussion to DC.

The urban glob around Washington has two features: it’s large enough to be called a top-tier city and it has a proportionately large black population (27%, v. the 18% which would be about normal in an ordinary metropolis). If you look at the 17 largest urban settlements in this country, Republicans are competitive in about three of them, and nearly all their strength is in the surburban jurisdictions. Greater Washington’s hardly different in this respect. Compare with Seattle. In the three counties which make up greater Seattle, Hellary won about 68% of the sum of ballots cast for her and Trump. Around Washington, you have the District, seven counties, and five stand-alone municipalities. Hellary won 78% of the two party vote. The thing is, the black population around Seattle is 5.5% of the total, whereas it’s 27% around Washington. Presuming their shares of the black vote are similar in both loci, their share of the non-black vote would be about 67% around Seattle and 73% around Washington.
