Emboldened by crackers they proclaim nobody ever needs Jesus sacrifice for sins if they are good like us!  Join the Trump train they say.  Choo, choo!!
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

He seems to have behaved piggishly around women, but I have yet to see any evidence he's racist.

That better not be a real Trump quote.  Not that I could possibly be any more anti-Trump at this point.   :laugh:

By the way, the two really, really bad stories I mentioned would soon be dropping still haven't actually dropped.

Indeed.

Bias against certain ethnicities (ahem, Mexicans), yes, but all of his history shows very little evidence of being an overt racist.

He's also been sued by the federal government for refusing to rent to blacks.
