Bill Barr: Trump brought up things like executing rivals a lot.

By Morgaan Sinclair ... Is this why "political assassinations" wound up in the Supreme Court case?

I’ve been completely gobsmacked that Trump’s lawyers would like the term executing rivals pass their lips. That even the question of whether presidential immunity should cover the assassination of opposition figures is so insulting to the fundamentally reasonable that it beggars belief.

Yet, we have heard Trump threaten, over and over in the last months, to send his political “enemies” (not that they think of themselves as enemies) to prison—that he’d only be a dictator on Day One (oh yeah, right)—that liberals should be in concentration camps. He has implied, with tawdry predictions worthy of a Transylvanian soothsayer in a purple turban, that if he’s put on trial—that if he’s convicted—that if he’s jailed, there will be blood in the streets.

Well, nobody’s showing up and that’s good, but if he had the power Putin has—and he wants it, oh does he want it!—I think it is what he would do. He would gulag everyone who’s ever done anything he doesn’t like since birth. And then he would Navalny them after first sending them to languish thinly clad on the permafrost of Alaska or be baked to leather in Death Valley.

Do I think that Donald Trump, given the opportunity, would kill? Yes, I do.

But the question still remains: Why would he risk adding this caveat to a Supreme Court case the loss of which could result in his being jailed for decades in multiple cases involving insurrection, if not treason, of both?

Any question that the Supreme Court is leaning his way has long since been resolved. Any notion they are not died when they gave him a hearing that predictably resulted in a delay that may have destroyed any chance we’ll get a verdict in the January 6th case before the election.

And everybody knows what will happen after the election if he wins: he’ll pardon himself. And then, with Project 2025 and the Seven Mountains rolling on greased skids all over American civil rights and protections, he’ll be Dear Leader Trump within 15 months, and the Christofascists will pack a light bag and stand out in the fields and plains awaiting the Rapture—and they won’t care that they got there by anointing the Anti-Christ.

Now, as fits his deeply immoral baseline failure to recognize reality, Barr, who once (not to long ago) claimed Trump was unfit for office, just said he’d vote for him in November.

It’s one of two things: either Barr is hoping to get his old job back, or he’s afraid that once Trump gets in with the help of the most corrupt Supreme Court in history, that he himself may be the first one marched to the wall.

Whichever, Trump means this. And he would not take this risk if he didn’t think he had a fighting chance of getting his 00-moron license to kill.

Here’s a link to an interesting summary … P.S. Barr says he doubts Trump would actually kill a political rival.

Yeah? WELL WHY IS THIS COMING UP THEN????
