The "Mueller report?"

[RED]

It is called the Mueller report but as it turns out his testimony this week is proof that not only did he not write the report, he didn't read it either, all he did was sign it. He could not remember or even recognize dozens of quotes from the report.

He was a figurehead and all the phony "investigating," was done by Democrats. He testified he never asked his appointees about their political beliefs. Why would he ask that question when he knew who and what they were beforehand?

The left wing radical Democrats are now claiming that when Trump refused to be questioned and sit for a perjury trap, that was a criminal obstruction of Justice. What is happening in this country is exactly what happened in Russia after WWI and China After WWII. Tens of millions of people died at the throne of radical leftists. Tens of millions of Americans will die if the Socialists come to power in this country.

A person has a Constitutional Right not to have to testify if it can incriminate him/her. If the deck is already stacked against one and one no longer can be judged "innocent" why help?

Given the propensity of the Feds to use the Perjury Trap, one would be a fool to submit to interrogation.

RED, I also watched him and I totally agree with you on your statement. The remainder of your comments , I am not qualified to comment on..... The man looks and sounds like he should be in the Nervous Hospital....

I had no doubt he did not write it,

heck,, most of you should have known that before it was turned in,

he was the boss, chief, CEO or whatever you want to call it for the investigation,

his underlings wrote it,

what is sad, he apparently never read it, and it shows,

you would think he would have before the show, (that's what that was) or at least had a staffer give him bullet points or a crib sheet,,,,

You would think -- but they call the FBI "Famous But Incompetent." Apparently the Director has to be the most incompetent of all.

Isn't it telling that all of a sudden you don't hear the Democrats talking about the "Mueller Report' that was going to prove Donald Trump was a "Putin puppet" and "tool of the Kremlin" a "traitor" I haven't heard any apologies yet.

[togor]

Nor do you hear Republicans talking about the serious election security issues detailed in the report. Trump made the report solely about him and both friend and foe went along with that.

[lyman]

we have election issues just about every election,,


hanging chads,,

boxes and boxes of paper ballots found in back rooms, car trunks, etc etc,

security issues with anything connected to the net,

When is c'est la vie the correct response to complex, multi-faceted problems, and when is it not? Is there a general rule?

For example, I see it applied to the mechanics of running elections, but not to voter lists. To CO2 emissions and climate change, but not to the border. To automobile seatbelt laws, but not to motorcycle helmet laws. To illegal gun sales, but not to bogus food stamp applications. Seems arbitrary to me.

In the case of elections, no one here can dispute that McConnell giving the Gallic shrug to issues of election tampering completely undercuts the rhetoric about voter lists being sacrosanct, unless of course that was just a BS cover story for the real motivation, which is voter suppression. That's the only way to reconcile McConnell's positions on these two issues: we don't want the minorities and college kids to vote Democratic if we can avoid it, but also we don't want the mechanics of elections so tamper-proof that nobody can get in there if the need really arises. Geeze I hate having to post this stuff, but someone has to point it out.

no general rule,, however it could be said that each situation is judged on the current (insert 'elections' 'headlines' 'ratings' etc here ) bit of newsworthyness?

For example, I see it applied to the mechanics of running elections, but not to voter lists.

big deal here seems to be proving you are who you are, why is is such a big deal to show your ID to vote?
been that way here in VA for a long time, and no one is turned away, (as long as they are on the Voters registration list)

think about how hard it is to register to vote,,, file out a form, in advance, and you are done,,,

no drama, no suppression, no one turned away,,,

yet some here, (IIRC, even you) act like it is the end of the free world,,

To CO2 emissions and climate change, but not to the border. To automobile seatbelt laws, but not to motorcycle helmet laws.

you like to regulate stuff too much

To illegal gun sales,

they should all be prosecuted, but many are not,

and why prosecute the innocent (as in those of us the buy and sell legally) or burden us with addition regulations because others have not concern, care, or control of their actions??

but not to bogus food stamp applications.

because that would have bad optics (film of a small malnourished child in the neighborhood, cause momma did not get enough Stamps that month,, film at 11)
or would be deemed racist,

Seems arbitrary to me.

it is, for various reasons, and always will be,

my comments were bipartisan,, both sides have some issues now and again,,

McConnell wants everyone to vote R,

AOC, Pelosi and all want everyone to vote D,

[togor]

Lyman, the "no big deal" argument invariably cuts both ways. If it's no big deal to do something (show ID to vote), then it's no big deal to say show an electric bill instead. In any case, the position of the GOP, as channeled by the moment through Mitch McConnell, is that voter lists are a big deal but nothing else about elections is. And of course it isn't just about registering. It's how lists get purged, how absentee/early voting are used, how polling places are restricted. Take any aspect and you will find an example of a GOP administration with a thumb on the scale. My own view is more free market, that the GOP should complete for minority votes instead of trying to suppress them.

Trump is competing for the minority vote. Check the employment figures released today, record low unemployment for Blacks and Hispanics.

Some of them will say "they didn't want to work". Things were just great collecting welfare and being paid not to work.

Some are resisting the opportunities to work. They are happy getting their welfare, living in their parents basement in front of a computer all day hashing out useless, senseless liberal BS while in their feeble, little minds they feel they are persuading those of us with knowledge and experience that everything we know and think is wrong.

Some will say that since they found work and the minimum wage is below $15 that they are being forced "back" into slavery and it's all Trumps fault.
