I read the entire Mueller Report and watched all of his testimony

I didn't have any problem with his referencing the written material. It was a dense read and the Republicans were laying contradictory traps.

It was a great moment when he was asked if all these Drumpt officials had lied. And then named them.

Probably Shitler stained his silk, massive drawers when Mueller said he could prosecuted when he left office. And, when it was highlighted that, if he won, the statue of limitations would run out.

The Reich Wing questions made it visually clear they believe the Democrats and the Rule of Law are their enemies and not the thugs in the WH or the Russians.

I couldn't find any instance when there was a factual dispute of what Mueller said. Only Faux news drooling points.

News media reports show how they have been beguiled by Drumpt's showmanship. If Mueller doesn't go Lindsey Graham then there's nothing to see. M$M has learned nothing from 2016. Probably will double down to maximize profits.

Overall, I thought it was a factual and useful process. The problem is, 40% of the population are in denial of basic truths and facts. That is what we are facing in 2020.

40%? I think it's more like 50-60%. Otherwise they would favor impeachment. triron Jul 2019 #1

21% favor impeachment. I suppose it always matters how the question is asked.

has worked. Some people are just Drumpt zombies, but others have just given up and ride along because they can't keep.

It's all about the greenbacks. As long as their coffers are being filled, everything is copacetic as far as the republicans are concerned.

and ignorance of that by the progressive orgs and dem party is the biggest political mistake in history

right now i am sure limbaugh is leading the attack on mueller and dems and providing his take on mueller to millions who didn't and wont see it themselves, will never read the report, and who may spread it to others in their spheres who are too busy or lazy to get alternatives.

that is a main, probably the source of the alternative universe for most americans and the russians have probably been influencing it for at least a decade and can now piggyback it all with social media, etc.

if dems want to destroy trump and the GOP all they have to do is stop ignoring rw radio

there are hints russian influence of talk radio is part of another investigation and may be one reason the name 'HANNITY' is totally redacted in the report glossary (between GR and HAW) - it wouldn't be for cohen real estate deals or affairs

but americans shouldn't wait for that, or for barr to nix it if he hasn't already

for their "entertainment review of Mueller's performance". The M$M gave us tRump i. 2016 and will sell this country for ratings/$$$ again (they are already doing it).
