kentuck's JournalA 25-30% minority of the worst people in this country are running the show.
Those are the racists, the haters, the misogynists, the xenophobes. They are the people that exhibit the worst character of America. And they worship Donald Trump, who symbolizes everything they believe in.
Perhaps it is time for America to stand up? And tell these people that do not love this country, that hate immigrants, that despise everything that has made this country great, to sit down and listen.
They are damaging this country and it must stop. They are not the majority, even though they control the spineless Republican Party. They have no decency. They are not patriots. They are doing harm to our nation and they must cease. Their nonsense and stupidity can no longer be tolerated.
Americans have been hesitant for too long as this small minority of hateful and vengeful people attempt to destroy this nation.
Maybe it is time to speak up?
Trump is obsessed about 2020 election because...
He thinks that is the only way he can stay out of jail.
And he is obsessed. He wants to keep feeding his base bullshit while he keeps demonizing his opponents. His every decision is on 2020.
He is a sick, power-crazed narcissicist that cares about nothing but himself. It would be a tragedy if he were to win the next election.
Rosenstein ?
Why is he supporting AG Barr so strongly?
There was a time when he thought he was used by Trump as an excuse to fire James Comey.
Also, he was threatened several times. On one occasion, he was threatened by Republicans to be impeached if he did not hand over the documents they wanted. Trump obstructed him in his job - he thought he was going to be fired on more than one occasion.
Many Democrats thought he was the main force keeping the Mueller investigation alive.
But now, he comes out as a strong supporter of AG Barr and his conclusions that Donald Trump has not been involved in collusion or conspiracy or obstruction of justice?
It's a puzzle? Why did he change his mind about the investigation? When did he become such a strong defender of Donald Trump?
The best "oranges" of the Russia investigation
When asked about his foreign policy team, candidate Trump mentioned the name of Carter Page? I guess he didn't know that Page was on the FBI watch list since 2013?
When General Flynn was wheeling and dealing with the Russians and then lied about it when questioned by the FBI.
When Donald Trump fired James Comey and then met the Russian officials in the White House and laughed and joked about it. The only press permitted was the Russian press.
When someone mysteriously removed a section of the GOP platform at their Convention. It was changed to favor Russia over Ukraine.
When Trump told the whopper about having nothing to do with Russia, even as he was negotiating a deal for Trump Moscow Tower.
When Trump had his secret meeting with Putin in Helsinski and stood on the stage and praised Putin and bad-mouthed America.
These were just a few of the most memorable "oranges" of the witch hunt called the Mueller investigation.
Of course, there was no collusion or obstruction.
Is Mueller still the Special Counsel?
I assume he is still on the payroll? Supposedly he is helping Barr? I have not heard anything about him returning to private practice.
Likewise with Rosenstein. He was supposed to leave the Dept a month ago but decided to stay on until investigation was over. I think he is still on the payroll also.
When are they going to close shop?
DoJ lawyers and Mueller team lawyers are working together on redactions
This is what AG Barr stated in his testimony a couple of days ago.
If this is true, I would be surprised if Barr lets the redactions go as the two teams of lawyers decide?
Because the Mueller team lawyers are very bright and they will fight to keep their work from being redacted.
We may be surprised at some of the information that gets thru after redactions, would be my guess.
And my hope....
Barr says spying did occur on the Trump campaign and they should have been notified.
He later changed "spying" to "unauthorized surveillance".
But, as I recall, a panic set in when it was discovered that General Flynn was communicating with the Russian, before the Administration had been sworn in, and then lied about it to the FBI.
Then, Sally Yates went to the White House to inform them of the problem.
The White House did nothing. Flynn stayed on for another 18 days as the National Security Adviser.
Soon thereafter Sally Yates was fired for her position on another matter.
If Trump and Barr want to know the "oranges" of this investigation, I would say this was it.
Then, it seemed like the entire Administration was intent on lying about their meetings with Russians.
The FBI had every right to investigate.
Barr attempted to make Mueller look "indecisive" by making the conclusions on his own.
That was the impression we were supposed to have when he wrote his first letter.
But, perhaps, it was something totally different?
Perhaps Mr Mueller told Mr Barr that he could not "exonerate" Mr Trump and there were still a lot of questions outstanding in the investigation?
Perhaps Mr Barr had assured Mr Trump that he would shut down the investigation, whether or not Mr Mueller was finished?
This seems like a more likely scenario to me.
A clarification about Trump's taxes.
Republicans are quick to claim that voters voted for Donald Trump even though they knew he was not going to show his tax returns.
That is not hardly correct.
Before the election, he never said that he was not going to show his tax returns. In fact, he said that he would show his returns as soon as they were out of audit. He led everyone, including his supporters, to believe that he would show his tax returns.
Never once before the 2016 election did he say that he would not show his returns.
Never once did they say that was a hill they were willing to die on, rather than turn over the tax returns.
Weren't the Republicans in charge of the House until January of this year?
But Trump is blaming Democrats for obstruction and for the immigration crisis on our border.
The child-separation policy was the brainchild of AG Jeff Sessions, with the approval of Donald Trump, not the brainchild of Barack Obama.
