President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don’t even want to know what the fuck Trump is doing with this SEAL shit.

 

You know, I used to worry the larger cosmic truth would reveal my life was simply a couple of lines as a minor character in a Flannery O'Connor story. Turns out I was wrong. We're all living in a dark cerebral backwater in Neil Gaiman's imagination.

 

She is part of the reason why this era is so dystopian. If it was just Trump, he'd already have been removed from office. Tragically, he had/has condescending, mendacious Bible-beaters like Sanders, white supremacists like Stephen Miller, 50-something sycophantic Senators and millions of cult members.

 

I don't want to hear anything about Barr and Mueller.
Mueller had his chance to lay everything on the table in plain language. He punted. He may not be a villain in this play, but he should go down in history as doing nothing when Rome burned.

 

Mueller kept his investigation as a deep dive within a narrow brief. If you remember Ray Rice, that should come as no surprise.

 

His time in front of Congress was no time to be vague and leave room for interpretations in the eyes of the beholder because we see how well that's working out.
If he found something, say, "We found ....."
If he was prevented from investigating certain avenues, say, "We were onto this but Barr blocked us."
If everything was good, say, "We found no wrongdoing."

 

Pete Hegseth does

 

Anybody that might offer an iota of a defense has long been purged from this place.

So why even ask?
