US Politics March 2019: “I can’t say I’m happy. I can’t say I’m thrilled”

yeah come on treeship, make your vote worth a bunch of electoral votes and then vote him out

then call your representative in NYC and make sure that they don't like trump. being NYC, i'm sure they're all about trump. you have to change their mind so he'll lose the election

your emotional reaction to president biff from back to the future II is invalid

yeah come on treeship, make your vote worth a bunch of electoral votes and then vote him out

move you and your clan to wyoming, maybe? or idaho?

Lol my clan

also, i think it's notable that trump hasn't tweeted in 23 hours, when in previous weekends he's tweeted like FIFTY TIMES A DAY or some shit. that suggests to me that he's not absolutely sure that he and his family are in the clear yet with these investigations, and/or that he's not sure if the report will make him look like complete dogshit while not actually recommending criminal charges.

Who cares? He’s a monster

if you want to barf all over the place, i recommend this piece: https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/23/politics/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-robert-mueller/index.html

Yeah i read that. He was basking in the sunlight on the patio or something

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation (all times local):

1:30 p.m.

Attorney General William Barr will not be providing Congress with special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings on Saturday.

That’s according to a senior Justice Department official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the review process.

Mueller has concluded his investigation of Russian election interference and possible coordination with Donald Trump’s campaign.

Barr is reviewing Mueller’s confidential report and has said he expects to provide Congress with the “principal conclusions” this weekend.

that trump waxwork is extremely unconvincing

fuck kid rock forever

As if I ever needed anything to buttress that age-old sentiment.

brb burning down Kid Rock’s honky tonk

i'm sad to say that degree of brazen lying about this is surprising me. this is what the barr summary of the mueller report says:

No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!

lol, the formatting of that makes it look like trump tweeted that highlighted caption, but that's just a screenshot i took posted just above the trump tweet

it would be really great if trump did accidentally tweet that highlighted excerpt

poor sheriff joe

Will Dems be able to get Barr to release the actual report (and in a timely manner)?

Not likely.

find out next time, on...

They can call/subpoena Mueller to testify before the house, though, and more likely than not in open session.

i'm sad to say that degree of brazen lying about this is surprising me

hey, it's worked so far....

"be able to get Barr to..."

signs point to _Fuck Off Not What I Was Brung To Do_

This reminds me that I used to have a copy of The Starr Report that ran as a special section in the local paper.

where's the tax returns?

Did Mueller manage to get to see them.
Looks like Weisenberg was being uncooperative for most of the time. Not sure if other access routes were more useful.
& Whitehouse were refusing to cooperate over requested documents last thing I heard.

Lots of loose ends.

good morning!!!

maybe time to dust off that u

oh my god @ the dozens of "NOW, everything changes" takes on this, as though the hundreds of crimes exposed in the interim are nothing

i must have missed the part where those hundreds of crimes had any effect on trump

And none of those things are juicy Netlfix Original narratives. Totally boring.

Barr's letter : a vast number of conservatives :: deathbed conversion : St. Peter

'...Arright, ya rascal, we forgive ya (puts Trump in playful headlock and gives him a noogie, spends the next twenty minutes trying to disentangle hand from unruly mass of wispy hair-like follicles).'

The last 48 hours have been excruciating

only 60,000 more to go

I can't say I'm thrilled!

there's something especially maddening about this - Trump unambiguously obstructed justice on national TV, Junior admitted to attempting to collude w/ Russia through Twitter, and Mueller...can't find evidence of either?

It's cool to see people immediately jumping to the most facile, bad faith conclusions. Seventy years of ill-spent public life, magically washed clean in a single weekend! Hail our exonerated god emperor!

A day might eventually come when human beings can be trusted with something as complex as civilization, but I doubt it.

Why did mueller hand off the obstruction recommendation to the AG?

I should have been picked as the special counsel

And why didn’t he subpoena trump?

lol Trump never even got interviewed for this thing, what a joke

Barr made it clear a sitting president could not be indicted; I imagine Mueller took this seriously.

mueller is a nerd
