What was that last bit? President Trump ousts Attorney General Bill Barr after a very nice meeting? We’re seeing headlines that he was fired, and some that say he resigned.

Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family…

…Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General. Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all! pic.twitter.com/V5sqOJT9PM

This is how it always ends for enablers of authoritarians. In the end, he will always throw you under the bus. Take heed, GOP. You sold everything, yourselves, your honor, the country, for a man who values only himself. Be humiliated forever, Bill Barr. https://t.co/MlfUAVXNN5

We imagine he’s going to have a nice Christmas.

If you believe Bill Barr resigned, you probably also believe Donald Trump won the election.

Fred Flintstone was fired.

They can call it whatever the F they want but make no mistake Bill Barr was fired.

He might as well if he isn't going to do his job.

Wish it was last year before Christmas. He was a huge disappointment. Not sure if he was lazy, compromised, incompetent, overwhelmed or all of those. Sick of him not doing anything when millions of people were begging him to get the job done and we got zip out of him.

We got that cool meme of him sipping water and shrugging.
