To ANY republican who EVER attacks someone for not standing for the national anthem: unless you oppose the anti American monstrosity your party has become, shut the hell up. The anthem is a message, not a song. And you don’t know what it means anymore.

To Tell The Truth

One of these two people is telling the truth. It's up to you to determine which one. My vote goes to Axelrod.

It “totally” did not. Not even close. The broader question is, why is this man so panicked? And to what lengths will he go to sully or derail a probe he obviously finds threatening?David Axelrod added,

This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

Pining for the days of Howard Dean

As Trump pushes deep state conspiracy theories & moves towards firing Rosenstein, I pine for the days when Howard Dean yelled "BYAAHH!" one time and voters decided he was too erratic to be president.

Republican excuses for firing Mueller show how dangerous the party has become.

Source: Slate.com


How far will the Republican Party go to defend Donald Trump? That’s an open question as he accumulates power and insulates himself from accountability. In recent days, we’ve learned that last year, Trump didn’t just fire FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the Russia investigation. Trump also told White House Counsel Don McGahn, a month later, to get rid of Robert Mueller, the special counsel who had been appointed to look into Comey’s firing and carry on the Russia investigation. Mueller is still in his job only because McGahn refused.

Republicans used to say Trump wouldn’t try to fire Mueller. But now that we know Trump has crossed that line, they’re justifying it. Their behavior is a double warning. It shows that our ruling party is willing to advance, in supportive lockstep, from one abuse of power to the next. But it also conveys, through the content of the GOP’s arguments, an invitation to further abuse. Here are 20 responses offered by Republicans and conservatives to the disclosure of Trump’s assault on Mueller, and why they signal danger ahead.
