It's Good Friday. Most people aren't even paying attention right now. There is SO MUCH damning stuff in there. Wait until it is all out there. His approval will go down more.

some meals taste far better on the second day. I think people are realizing how damaging the report truly is for Trump. Even Trump has reportedly gone from chest-thumping bravado to simmering rage at the comments his own people offered up, a less than flattering, adoring profile than he anticipated. Vindictiveness is Trump's middle name. I expect fireworks next week!

And those dropping polls?? Another kick in the teeth. So richly deserved.

As for Barr? He's painted himself into the Hack Corner. Also well deserved.

builds with the revelations coming out of the Mueller Report. The House oversight investigations are just revving up, Barr will be back to face the music, Mueller will testify and reveal even more insight into Trump's illegal activities.

Trump is out of options. He has no proof to support his claim of innocence and nothing to refute the evidence against him. His growing unpopularity makes him look weak and incompetent. He takes no responsibility for his actions and even dodges the bungling screwupss within his own inept administration.

From now on it's all downhill for Trump, and his inexorable slide into a courtroom starts with the Impeachment investigations in the House. We don't control the Senate, but we can still sway public opinion.
