This is going to give Trump a green card to pardon everyone involved.

I've said it before, but there is nobody I want to watch suffer more than McConnell.
I'm talking about straight retribution style suffering.

I'm not clicking on the Lamar Alexander bullshit but framing it as a Manhattan Project But For Climate seems like a really smart way to brand something both urgent and militarily relevant for the Republican palette. It's actually kinda exciting to see it framed that way, nevermind both the cowardly timing and the uh, 'we're gonna nuke the fuckin' sky' feelings I get from it.

JUST NOW: McConnell blocks Schumer measure calling for Mueller report to be made public
5:07 PM - Mar 25, 2019
Frank Thorp V @frankthorp
Sen Schumer attempts to unanimously pass a non-binding resolution expressing the sense of Congress that Mueller's report should be made available to the public and to Congress (which the House passed 420-0 on March 14).
MCCONNELL objects.

What?
They don't want to own the libs by releasing the full report?
Very strange, quite curious.
Schumer's response should be to appear on Fox and demand to know why McConnell doesn't want the American people to know how innocent Trump is.
So it seems Mark Kelly has a open lane to the Dem nomination:
How liberal/conservative is Mark Kelly? Are we getting another Sinema?

Something heavy this way comes.
I'm telling you the cointel arm of this thing is the thing to watch.
I think this is right on but missing one component I was alluding to in my last post (^^). There's a major counter intel arm of this thing that we still don't know about and I think if Mueller found Trump was or still is an active Russian agent, what we'd see would look a lot like what we're seeing.
Yeah I could easily see that he found Trump was compromised, thus making active "collusion" unnecessary since Trump would've done whatever Putin wanted without any direction whatsoever
The thing is that this presupposes that the GOP gives a shit about anything, including about NatSec. There are Republicans who genuinely care about NatSec, but very few of them are Republican politicians who only flog the issue so that they can turn out the flag-hugging rubes, and even nowadays you see that that's not needed. The base's loyalty is to their idea of America and not America itself.
The federal, elected GOP cares about owning the libs and enriching themselves and their buddies and that's *it*. The base only cares about owning libs and being racist.
I mean, Sinema is, on a scale of 0 being Generic Republican and 10 being AOC is a 7-8.
She is going to vote with you the vast majority of the time, and is probably the only way we are going to get to 50.
Pelosi and Schiff definitely got a hint then with all the tapered down talk recently.
So Barr had his letter mostly drafted and he needed 48 hours to find four incomplete sentences in the document that weren’t damaging to the president. Got it.
I mean if AOC is a 10 and a generic GOP is a 0, there is no way Sinema is a 7-8. All that being said, I'm not trying to say she's secret-GOP, she's just very conservative for a Democrat. Is Kelly as well? It kind of matters as its the conservative Dems that are going to constrain what sort of laws we can pass if the Dems regain the Senate in 2020.
It's not a foolproof plan, but it maybe the strongest hand they have. Whichever crew within their bounds certainly risked alot to set it off and the reactions are mixed.
Yup. This is how the mob communicates (remember Cohen's testimony last month). You need to flip people and RICO that shit...
FOMT is a deadly, deadly disease amongst those of republican persuasion (with a 67% fatality rate in elections once infected).
If Im Pelosi or Schumer, I'd have that as the standard for every mention to every reporter for my flock. Fight fire with fire.
Edit: Yertle's trending in the US. Good.
Republicans are going to handle this in a way that is going to shit all over Trumps good news lol.
BTW, has someone done the Seymour Skinner Aurora Borealis gag but with the Mueller Report yet? Because it’s begging for one. Barr is Skinner obviously.
if he is so innocent, why not just drop the redacted for national security report to the public today along with a non redacted version for the house comitees. something doesnt quite add up *thinking emoji*
Karen Handel plans to run again.
LOL good luck, Karen.
She might not even survive the primary.
I was just thinking. Barr stayed that there was no coordination between the campaign and Russia, but this could still allow for Russia having dirt on Trump and him being leanient on them. Still seems like a problem.
Or him wanting to be soft so he could get his hotel deal etc. point being there are tons of potentially very problematic scenarios that cover what we saw publicly, but could also count as “didn’t co-ordinate directly with RU government”
"Nancy Pelosi's liberal policies have cost our district immensely" WHAT FUCKING LAWS HAVE BEEN PASSED SINCE JANUARY?
The president being compromised is a national security matter, not a criminal one.
He didn't conspire with Russia. He didn't conspire with North Korea either. But he fellates the strongmen of the world because he wants to be one (or rather wants the trappings of being one without actually having to do anything).
That's something for Congress and the voters to focus on (it's the latter's fault we're in this mess—not Russia's or even Trump's).
I think, if anything, the Russian govt worked hard to get Trump elected but did not act through the campaign because it knew how dumb they were. Mueller did find Russians influenced the election, just not directly through Trump (though I think they did things to help). It's still an enormous blow to the legitimacy of Trump's presidency.
Is it possible that Mueller and the other legal teams found so much financial shenanigans that they realized that it would be way easier and way less political to just nail Trump with those crimes when he's no longer president rather than go through the more difficult and unprecedented route of indicting a sitting president and or unlikely impeachment with a cowardly Republican Senate majority? ie - just wait 2 more years and the financial crimes will be a slam dunk?
Let's see if they'll ask nicely again when this request is ignored.
There is no guarantee he loses in 2 years so this would be idiotic.
Financial crimes were spun off to other departments. The special counsel was solely investigating Russian interference and criminal obstruction of justice. The former found no real evidence of conspiracy, and the latter was something they decided should be left to Congress.
I don't think the president ever sees jail time, but investigations into his financial crimes are already underway.
LMAO
You're bringing some good shit today Auto.
so we're using AIPAC to attack the only two muslim women in the caucus huh
He doesn't have a record so it's hard to know how much he sucks compared to I Act Like I'm From West Virginia Sinema.
Hoyer has literally said this exact line to the media like four different times at this point as a way to subtly swipe at AOC, Ilhan and Tlaib.
He's a jackass.
Remember the threads about whether or not gamergate or ADOS were Russian fronts?
Should we demand an apology from those OPs for ridiculous hysterics?

Only if every bad poster has to apologize for bad posts.
Some have more contrition to display than others.
I assume she can specify exactly which liberal policies that Pelosi passed by her dictatorship in the last three months have been hurting Georgia and in which ways?
Either we get
1. Cant release cuz of Executive Privilege...? Maybe
Or
2. Redaction 2: redact harder
Are you identifying yourself as a member of Gamergate by using the "we" here?
well, gamergate was part of trump's campaign team so they're officially exonerated
It seems they are working hard to keep Trump's answers out for reason.
