oh, you mean lying under oath about a consensual affair with another adult? Yes, that was wrong. It certainly justified the millions of dollars and years of investigations.

Your party is an abomination, a cancer that needs to be cut out. And you bringing up Clinton is absolutely laughable. The stuff Trump and some of these others are doing will literally kill people, lots of them, but go ahead and try to justify it all by bringing up a guy lying about an affair.

That's the saddest attempt at whataboutism that I've ever seen.

One imagines you're old enough to know that wasn't the only Clinton controversy. But whatever.

That's fair. I just don't think what we are seeing now is anything like the things we saw during the Clinton years. Saying so is kinda stupid. Actually, not kinda, it just is stupid.

And it's not just Trump, it's widespread through the GOP.

I'd love for Mueller to tweet back:

"No"

but he won't (and that is a good thing).

Also added this beauty:

@realDonaldTrump
It has been incorrectly reported that Rudy Giuliani and others will not be doing a counter to the Mueller Report. That is Fake News. Already 87 pages done, but obviously cannot complete until we see the final Witch Hunt Report.
5:39 AM - 7 Dec 2018

Interesting. 87 pages (supposedly) done to counter a report they have not yet read (and, in fact, is not even finished). To already have 87 pages together, the authors must have some idea of what the Mueller report is going to reveal. Taking it a step further, given the dozens of people Mueller has talked to over the past 18+ months (and who some of those people are), if they have some idea of what the report is going to reveal, there is obviously quite a bit of truth/fact to come in those pages from Mueller. These are all the actions of guilty people.

87 pages of:

"All work and no play make Donny a dull boy."

Also, saw a tweet that said, "It shouldn't take 87 pages to say that you are innocent."

Well, they had to supply answers to a set of questions. If I were given a bunch of questions asking to explain parts of my financial past and meetings, even as an innocent person, it would be easy to take those Q and A's and explain the greater context in a releasable 100 page document.

Surprised no one has mentioned that Trump just nominated a complete novice to be ambassador to the UN.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 87221.html

Great party ya got there jerz. I am sure the principled members in the Senate will most assuredly do the right thing and oppose this toadie's nomination.

It is officially +40 blue team, and more than likely one new election in NC.

Its hardly worth commenting on a former Fox News person who said that the height of US-German relations was D-Day. I mean it is a total joke in the form of a nomination.

“Looking back in the history books, today is the 71st anniversary of the speech that announced the Marshall Plan. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany, and we have a strong relationship with the government of Germany.”


This is not a test, this is not a joke...
