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.

Trump has likely used lawyers as a weapon for some time. To expect to him to not continue to do so is foolish.

First off, Carlin was a left-wing atheist. Second, where did we "sit by" as Obama did those things, and what makes anyone think that just because Obama did it, nobody else can?

Bad idea... If it does pass bad news regardless. Imagine if the Dems wanted to change the Libel Laws.. What would the reaction be here..

Funny thing is that Trump supporters have been screeching about left wing California politicians wanting to impose similar laws on campaign speech.

Well, if he's talking about making it easier to sue for libel, laws generally aren't going to help him because the legal limits are set by the Supreme Court.  So this is a completely toothless threat, about which some people will undoubtedly freak anyway just so they have something else to complain about.

First of all....using George Carlin in the meme doesn't diminish the intended message.

Secondly.....for EIGHT friggin years, the GOP did "sit by" as they NOT ONCE....acted like a major political party in opposition to Obama's Administration.

It's not even a threat. The tweet only asks whether libel laws should be changed.

Still, I do wish he'd stop tweeting.

Trump is the one who's complaining here. Idiot boy can't handle any criticism whatsoever.

The truth is that Obama was/is a nobody.   The only reason he was ever considered a somebody was because of the propaganda produced by the New York and Los Angeles liberal controlled media system.   

The power behind the Democrats is the power to control the information streams to the American People.     

We should have been assaulting that fortress decades ago.   


Without that propaganda system running interference for them,  the Democrats are not a political force.

Trump has talked about "strengthening" libel laws for some time.  I question whether he is really serious.

Trump thrives on controversy.  Seems he can't let a day go by without stirring up some sh**.   After all, he was a reality TV star and reality shows always have to have some manufactured conflict to keep them interesting.   He needs to run this never-ending reality TV show to keep his massive ego inflated.

I just don't know if I can take being a part of Trump's latest reality show for the next four years.

Trashy tabloid TV is where Trump made a name for himself in the 80s. He's famous for being rich and obnoxious and not much else.
