Bobby Sticks It to Trump



...We are in for an epic clash between two septuagenarians who both came from wealthy New York families and attended Ivy League schools but couldn’t be more different — the flamboyant flimflam man and the buttoned-down, buttoned-up boy scout. (And we know the president has no idea how to talk to scouts appropriately.)

One has been called America’s straightest arrow. One disdains self-promotion and avoids the press. One married his sweetheart from school days. One was a decorated Marine in Vietnam. One counts patience, humility and honesty as the virtues he lives by and likes to say “You’re only as good as your word.”

And one’s president.

It takes a huge ego to even want the job, and by all accounts, Bob doesn't have that.

I'd be cool if he got to recommend someone though!

"Mueller is taken seriously as Mr. Clean Marine, a Republican willing to stand on principle even against other Republicans, as when he and James Comey resisted W. on warrantless wiretapping. Mueller is seen as incorruptible, so his conclusions will most likely be seen as unimpeachable."

Never imagined a potus would inspire something like that: we used to hear such terms from tv reality shows like Jersey Shore.

As in that is all you need to go up against 45 and his administration. To take down all of the crime and put it behind bars.

I pray he will hold up till the bitter, but glorious, end. No doubt Trumpsters have been working overtime (while Trump golfs) to find any dirt they can on Mueller. Or any on his team. And if it comes down to it, I would not even put it past them to use extortion, blackmail, whatever they can, even threaten his family.
