Whatever happened with Mueller appearing before Congress?

Is that going to happen? I thought they had originally planned for this Wednesday.

I think I actually got through to a Trump supporter

I don't know if it will stick or not, but I got one to at least acknowledge the glaring differences between Barr's summary and the actual Mueller report.

The Mueller report is a good thing to use on Trump supporters because they have been preconditioned to think it totally exonerates Trump. If you show them how it actually does not exonerate, they just might start to feel a little foolish. This of course won't work on everyone, but I think it could actually open a few eyes. It worked at least to get a reasonable discussion out someone I know.

Try this on family and friends.

In a nutshell the way I see this whole Barr thing, and please tell me if I'm wrong...

Somebody got surveilled while our intelligence agencies were looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Now, instead of concentrating on what was discovered in that surveillance, Trump's team is trying to cast aspersions on the surveillance itself, claiming that it might not have been done legally. And, while this is going on, no one is allowed to see an unredacted copy of the Mueller report, most likely because whatever is in it was obtained by the very surveillance effort those covering for Trump want to discredit. This is what my tiny lib- tard is coming up with.

I'm curious about something

Has Trump been pumping out a slew of self- aggrandizing tweets about the Mueller report? I'm not on Twitter, so I don't know. But usually I see his tweets posted on line somewhere. I have yet to notice any victory tweets. I would have expected at least a dozen tweets and a rally from Trump by now. What is going on in Twitter land with Trump? If he's not tweeting heavily about this, I'm thinking Trump knows something about that report he doesn't want the rest of us to know. Just wondering.

I wish I lived in Jim Jordan's district

I'm from Ohio and would love to vote against him.

I know I'm not the smartest person in the world, so please help me out here...

Concerning today's hearing: How can the republicans try to say Cohen is now discredited as a liar when, what Cohen was originally lying to Congress about was designed to protect Trump?

For example: Trump was out telling everyone in the country that he had no dealings in Russia and pays no price for his lie. However, Cohen gets in trouble for supporting that lie to Congress. What gives? Do I have this wrong or what?

I hear there are some ground breaking advances in cancer research coming out of Israel

How is that the case, since Israel has universal healthcare? One of the biggest arguments I've always heard from Republicans is that universal healthcare hurts innovation and research, yet Israel is making advancements. What gives? Maybe that old talking point doesn't hold water?

The idea that tax breaks buy jobs is a fallacy

Corporations exist only to serve themselves and their stock holders. It should be illegal for politicians to buy their loyalty with our tax dollars.
