Brian Karem on what the landmark report means for America's future

Kellyanne Conway appeared ecstatic. Bouncing down the driveway after appearing on Fox News Thursday afternoon, she told us the president was in a great mood. She then proceeded to entertain apologies from the press for suggesting the president had been involved in collusion with the Russians. No one took her up on that offer.
Then she told us we shouldnt lie any more about the president. I told her point blank she shouldnt lie to us. She ignored me. She claimed, two and a half hours after the Mueller report had been released to the public, that shed already read the entire thing. When I said, Oh, a speed reader, eh? she frowned. But make no mistake: Conway was in her element.
It was the happiest reporters had seen her in months. She smiled, danced and made fun of reporters as she defended Trump after an early morning news conference by Attorney General William Barr in which Barr excused Trumps seemingly bad behavior in the past because Trump was unwarrantedly raked through the coals. No collusion.
And the president, we were also told, was in a fantastic mood. Like many other statements by Trump and members of the administration, it was a lie. Trump had already made one public appearance Thursday, and while he said he was in a great mood as he appeared before a group of Wounded Warriors No collusion he reminded ushis actions indicated otherwise. He was muted. He stood to the side at one point during the ceremony under a larger-than-life-sized portrait of George Washington. Our first president and our 45th stood together, at least symbolically, and Trump never looked smaller. Looking grim, and his small dark eyes surrounded by their unnaturally orange shell of skin, he appeared oddly out of place next to one of the founding fathers. It was hard to miss the contrast.

(16,786 posts)His words in the Mueller report are getting played over and over. Even the New York Times displayed his words intact.
Perhaps with all the other investigations taking place around him from the SDNY, the EDNY, states AG offices, etc. his presidency is indeed fucked. CORRUPTION and LIES are words that Democrats are going to use over and over until November of 2020.
At least I will be using those words in public forums over and over. If I am attacked, I will retaliate with the facts.

(17,276 posts)"Sure enough, Friday afternoon, shortly after Trump got off the golf course with his friend Rush Limbaugh, Elizabeth Warren proclaimed that impeachment proceedings should begin immediately against Donald Trump. So far, the call is getting mixed reviews. So, where the Mueller report ultimately leads us is yet to be determined. But if you sit down and read the report with a clear head, it is a shocking indictment of a corrupt, incompetent and bungling bunch of second-rate criminals whove twisted the guiding principles of the Republic into an opportunity to fleece the American public while Kellyanne Conway is left dancing in the streets.

(5,270 posts)at least I haven't heard that she was mentioned even once even though as I recall there was some reporting awhile back that she might have been working behind scenes making contacts to obtain Clinton emails, but Mueller report only seems to mention Flynn and Peter Smith's involvement with Trump's requests to obtain hacked emails.
