Bill Barr lighting his once mediocre reputation as an inoffensive party hack on fire to spend a few years enabling a shitty dictator and covering up the crimes of the dumbest people on the planet before getting fired by tweet is a good metaphor for the Republican Party

This story from WI deserves more attention.
Uline is one of the state's biggest employers.
It is owned by one of Trump's most lavish and loyal donors... Richard and Liz Uihlein..
Who are these 51% of Americans who approve of the way this lying, narcissistic, science-denying, petty, partisan, infantile, intellectual wasteland, lame excuse for a President with the vocabulary of a 4 year-old (apologies to 4 year-olds), is mishandling this crisis? Really.
Heading in for my night shift in the ER here in #Michigan and while @realDonaldTrump is attacking @GovWhitmer on cable news, I’m still using 1 paper mask/shift because Trump won’t use the #DPANow to get me #PPE. Still not enough tests. #NeveraHoax
Dear @realDonaldTrump: We are all Americans.
It shouldn’t matter if patients need ventilators in Washington and Michigan, or Louisiana and Georgia. If the patients don’t get the ventilators, they die.
You are the President for all Americans. Act like it. Lives are at stake.
Whut? Lawyers I know in Detroit are asking why Michigan shouldn’t bring a federal suit to enjoin this vindictive presidential discrimination against the state and its citizens, citing the equality principle of Shelby County v. Holder (2013)(Roberts, C.J.). NY and Washington too!
Whether it’s military aid or ventilators, a foreign ally or an American governor,
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
You cannot count on Donald Trump to do what’s right for this country.
You can count on him to do what’s right for Donald Trump.
Two things that happened today:
1.) WHO says the United States has the "potential" to become next epicenter of coronavirus pandemic.
2.) Trump says goal is to open up country "as we near the end of our historic battle" and that there is "light at the end of the tunnel."
“Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China, Reuters has learned.” https://t.co/TR44aKFoHT
We now have an intelligence chief who should not have been fired, an unqualified nominee who should not be confirmed, and an acting director who is patently unfit.
All while our elections are perilously at risk of foreign interference.
Just the way the President likes it.
My husband & I have been raising kids for 27 years. Our eldest came to us when he was almost 3. His mom OD’d & his dad went to jail. There was no one to take care of this little boy, so we did. When you discriminate against LGBTQ couples, you deprive kids like mine of good homes.
President Obama set up anti-pandemic programs in 47 vulnerable countries, as a way to protect against something just like Coronavirus breaking out across the world.
Experts begged Trump to keep them open.
He closed 37 of them.
I was the WH Ebola Response Coordinator in 2014-15. We never told @CDCgov or @NIH what they could say, or ever censored their medical statements. If the WH is doing that now, it is a danger to public health.
I just received a call from @VP Mike Pence, thanking Washington state for our efforts to combat the coronavirus.
I told him our work would be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the science and told the truth.
