Not since 1860 has so much hinged on the outcome of a presidential election. So scary is the impending crisis that it forced even vintage Banana Republican Bill Barr to stay on the pot and do his business.
“The real danger to the country – the real danger to democracy, as I say, is the progressive agenda,” said the former attorney general last month. “And while … Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide, in my opinion.”
Coined by my partner Loy Edge on our podcast, “Upstream with Cashill and Edge,” the phrase “Banana Republican” (BR) nicely captures the essence of a plantation denizen like Barr.
