Who doesn't see that the Republicans are in full throes of a last act of desperation?

[Baitball Blogger]

Munichen refuses to give up Trump's taxes because he claims it doesn't serve a legislative purpose. (Biased sum?) And McConnell is claiming that the Mueller Report is case closed and by extension, the Russian involvement in our elections. And, oh, yes, he claims that the Democratic investigation is dividing the nation. Really? The most divisive politician on stage today, claims he's concerned about divisions in our country. What a poser.

Schumer has McConnell's number.

1. Who is going to stop them ?

7. I think they know that Mueller will contest what Barr has put out on the public record.

If the House brings Mueller in, and he's able to answer honestly, I think the Republican subterfuge will take on a whole different light.

12. I hope that you are right. However. optimism never seems play out well

13. When decisions are going 100% against you, assume conspiracy.

We just need to find out if Mueller is THAT guy.

14. +1

2. Just a minor point

The Republicans are behaving as they always do, damn the best interests of the US, full speed ahead to a war with Iran. It's all they have.

3. Well, when you consider that

most of them also profit heavily from all the wars...

5. Money, Money, Money

It's a rich man's world.

8. This is a major wag the dog.

4. To be sure, these are risky moves, but not desperation.

They are engineering the authoritarian takeover of the government. Congress has been neutered, the courts are iffy. We only have our votes left, and we can't even count on that.

6. Extreme circumstances often lead

to extreme action.

We must defeat these posers at the polls or suffer grave consequences for our nation and the world.

9. We have been predicting the demise of the GOP for decades

and they just get stronger.

10. Certainly desperately swinging and thrashing from their corner.

And, of course, tweeting.

11. "case closed and by extension, the Russian involvement in our elections"
