A round up of Trumpian events šŸ–•šŸŠšŸ¤”

What should be concerning for the GOP is that this did not come from his mouth. And that he didn’t reach the conclusion of stating ā€œhe’s completely innocentā€ which says The investigation turned up evidence of some kind of wrong doing.

I suspect the next phase and steps will be subpoenas to testify. And the other investigations being conducted may be more harmful than mueller’s report.

Let’s remember he was told to investigate a very narrowly scoped issue. And he has done that. But whatever else he turned up through that investigation is not on his plate to comment on or go after 45 on. That’s someone else’s job.

I dunno about you, but after a 22-month deep-dive investigation into the President’s wrongdoings, the guy I fully believe to summarize the conclusions is a dude hired by the President specifically to exonerate him, because Trump’s employees are well known for their truth-based objectivity.

That’s apparently good enough for the GOP and media!

I know just the thing you cheer you guys up after a weekend of Mueller drama/non drama

One of the film’s most explosive moments occurs on the eve of the midterms, as Bannon, pacing about his home in Ugg slippers, is freaking out about the polling results—cursing off his team members and even banging his head against a wall. You can watch it right here, exclusively at The Daily Beast:

We really need to see the report without the Barr filters.

(If it later does turn out to be worse, Trump supporters will only remember this news cycle.)

well, what? six of trump’s beasties have been indicted, and those investigations can and do lead into 45’s finances. that’s not too bad, all in all

we’re still likely to hear about some of 45’s election criminality over the next few weeks - and russia’s. it would have been nice if there was a phone call recording with putin asking to hack the election, but that always seemed exceedingly unlikely.

i think it’s probably a mistake to think the report is meaningless ( and i think it’s probably worse to say it’s a fake or a con job like some already are. ) some positive things have come out of it already. and, honestly, i feel like we should wait till congress at least gets it before ( not you, but others ) start throwing conspiracy theories around.

it’s not like getting him out of office is going to be easy regardless. and it’s not like getting him out of office will fix the republican party and make white supremacists vanish.

these are all steps. one step at a time. ( unless of course, we can get a few hundred thousand people camped on washington’s streets. then we can skip a few steps. )

I’m not sure if having your report summarized by one of Trump’s toadies to make it sound as good as possible for his boss makes you a ā€œchickenshitā€.

Agreed. I don’t want to get my hopes up that we see Barr behind bars for obstruction as well, though.

I’d throw this in Trump the Chump, but I wonder if he’s serious?

He is serious. Vengeful and unrelenting is his legal strategy normally.

Of course he’d throw a pre-emptive volley before anyone has actually read the report.

Leave it to Chuck Schumer to equate criticizing Israel with support for literal fucking Nazis.

I’m interested in the one about misuse of the Trump Foundation’s money to benefit Trump and co. personally.

That’s still quietly rumbling away.

I mean, it’s not really a Trumpian event, but… uh… in Washington, money does drive support for Israel, and has for decades. In no way is that an anti-semitic sentiment to be equated with Nazi support.
