"Barr claims that Mueller said" is an important construct now, as opposed to "Mueller said"

[ProfessorPlum]

our media are so fucking gullible, and seem to line up to have their mouths shat in while the Trumpsters claim it is chocolate ice cream.

The next time I hear one of the talking heads say "Mueller said" or "Mueller concluded" about this stupid "summary" from a lackey who has helped at least one other administration skate by a huge impeachment scandal, I think my head will explode. Like in Scanners.

_Barr_ claims that Mueller said. _Barr_ claims that Mueller said. Repeat it. Make them use it.

5. How about the Barr Book Report?

I mean...isn't that all it is? He "read" the Mueller Report and summarized it (badly.)

3. I suggest a slight alteration:

Barr claimed that Mueller said...

[ProfessorPlum]

altering the OP

6. This. This, all freakin' day. Their imprecision is misinforming people

Or is it disinforming people?...hmmm...

7. I think that's called hearsay

and is not accepted in Judge Judy's courtroom.

8. Most readers of this FIRST comment will dismiss it, but

I'm going to make it anyway. Mercury, the planet of communication, is retrograde, and has been for the last couple of weeks. And it is conjunct (same degree in mid-Pisces) as the Planet Neptune (illusion, disillusion, lies, mish mosh).

What's that mean? For folks who watch the stars and who do not "believe" in astrology, but rather have knowledge of it through observation, it appears more than likely that the whole stinking GOP Trump-Barr ball of bullshit will have a short run. The tide will turn.

It's likely as we get well into April, and Mercury is direct and separating from Neptune, and we weary denizens of earth actually get ahold of the SC report, and more facts likely to come forward, the truth will emerge.

We shall see.

That’s an interesting take. Everyone rows their own boat, but it’s closer to science than a diety.
