What the (BLEEP) just happened? Rex Huppke's 'Week In Review'



It’s the end of the week and, like most humans who still believe 2 + 2 = 4, I’m asking: What the (BLEEP) just happened?

Who needs a functioning democracy?!?

Attorney General William Barr went before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week and effectively reassured Americans that doing a crime is not really a big deal after all, as long as the person doing it is the president of the United States or, perhaps, an attorney general named William Barr.
<snip>

Again, Barr’s obvious April lie before Congress — which should technically be a crime — now falls under the new Department of Justice “crimes are no big deal” policy.

Enhancing the image of an administration that considers itself above the law, Barr also refused to give House lawmakers a subpoenaed copy of the unredacted Mueller report and refused to show up to a Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday.

Oh, well! A functioning democracy was probably a foolish idea anyway. And now everyone gets a free “Make America Great Again” hat and a picture of Beloved Supreme Ruler Donald Trump to hang in their living room. - Chicago Tribune

Correction. Republican crimes are no big deal. Them looting the U.S. Treasury (tax cuts for themselves) and gaslighting the American people in the process are the definition of injustice.

Lock them up!
