Ok so I’m not the most well versed in US History so I’m probably stating the most obvious thing here and outing myself as a complete idiot, or maybe him saying that broke my brain... But isn’t that a direct contradiction of one of the very reason the US wanted independence?

It’s a classic Karl Rove tactic of attacking your enemy where you are weakest, even if it’s wrong and makes no sense.

After the articles of confederation failed they did act to make a stronger federal government but oh man is he stretching that idea.

There's a bit of bait and switch going on. A unitary executive within the executive is a good thing and is well established and not controversial. Stated another way, there should not be externally enforced checks and balances within the executive branch. What Barr is trying to do is to port the idea of the unitary executive outside the executive branch and have the unitary executive control/overpower the other two branches of government, which is absolutely not established and is very controversial. Checks and balances between the three branches of government is one of those foundational to the US idea of government things. Barr must feel that the country has reached a tipping point of conservative power that it can't return from, to now come out so fully and unabashedly for making the legislature and judiciary subservient to the executive.

The police are killing protesters in Bolivia now, and there are reports the new "president" (leader of the opposition party who is no where near the legitimate line of secession) has authorized lethal force.

That Works posted:Missed that part, what was her stunt? Early in the hearing, she talked during Nunes/staff lawyer-only time, a clear breach of pre-approved rules. Schiff brought down the hammer on her to stop breaking the rules, so she/Nunes got all pissy and took it to Twitter/Fox News, saying she got muzzled. An obvious, dumb, gaslightly stunt because she later got to ask her dumb questions and also didn't even use up all of her allotted time. It was a dumb thing to get the Foxies yelling about SCHIFF MUZZLED A WOMAN OMG HE HATES WOMEM. Btw womem isn't a typo, that's from a Trump tweet in support of Pam Bondi today.

It's one of those decorum/tradition/adult in the room things. Those are internal controls/ internal checks and balances that the executive has always placed on itself.
