Centrist and moderate politics

Trying to follow /r/centrist, but want to keep it more calm and relaxed, less aggressive conflict.

Will leave it casual, be excellent to each other, we all disagree but most of us probably want the best outcome.

If specific issues get out of hand we might get sticky posts or something similar, but just try not to go down that road.

A zealot is someone who won't change his mind and can't change the subject. There are a lot of really important issues to discuss, please don't try to coerce others into addressing your position. We don't have to have the answers for every question, sometimes we just don't know the right answer yet, sometimes we don't know the right question.

Barr, who was appointed by Trump, responded “of course” when asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if he would be willing to appear as a witness in Trump’s trial over federal charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

This makes it sound like he thinks he has a choice.

I mean, there are a lot of deflections he could have used, like "I would have to consider executive privilege" or something.

It's the tone more than the sentiment.

Executive privilege is off the table. He already litigated that and lost. He will be subpoenaed and he will testify.

oh my god, he is required to do something by law, how frightening, oh no...

Barr is a piece of shit, but doesn't seem stupid enough to go down for Donald Drumpf
