Muellers office exempt from the shutdown. Sad! Unfair!

[Miles Archer]

And one thing that is still going: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

The Justice Department confirmed this week that employees in Mueller’s office are exempt from the shutdown and can continue their work. His office is not funded through the regular congressional appropriations process.

So the probe, which Trump desperately wants shut down, is going on even as other government functions cease.

1. Ya think this asshole and crew truly thought they could shutdown through a

governmental shutdown of Mueller's investigation. Of course. t-rump and crew are as clueless and downright dumb as their party, and just as evil.

[Hortensis]

3. No.

Trump's that ignorant, of course, but if anyone around him was smart enough to wonder hopefully about it, someone else would have explained reality.

Trump doesn't himself determine much of anything beyond what's on that cheeseburger he takes to bed, you know. Others vie in putting thoughts into his head that will come out his mouth as authorizations for what others want done.

9. I think some of them thought or think they can strong arm the Democrats into agreeing to cut

the funding for the investigation off as part of any agreement for DACA.

12. yeap, the thing that needs to be shut down is that shithole DOTUS

[Wounded Bear]

2. Oops...

Guess they missed on that one.

4. Why does Trump always look so constipated?

Those cheeseburgers must be getting clogged up.

5. What? You think executive time....

allows him time for potty breaks? Pashaw.

With all the hookers and porn stars coming and going, plus nikki and kellyann, and all the fox news shows to watch, he doesn't have time to sit on his throne!

Besides, it's obvious he is full of shit.

[cstanleytech]

10. Didn't you get the memo? He takes his potty breaks with the hookers.

[erronis]

6. Maybe because he's really upside down? His ass on top?

He does shove shit (hambuggers) into his feeding tube. Perhaps his anus (pseudo-mouth) is just constricted except when he is expelling crap.

11. Wasn't that was the punishment for liars in the 8th circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno?

[L. Coyote]

7. Well, Mother Russia hasn't closed either.

13. Who the fuck takes work phone calls...

...without at least a fucking note pad in front of them?

This is a bogus, staged photo sent out to convince morons.

18. who wears a stupid hat

like that? With a suit? What a dumbass.

[monmouth4]

20. Bet he's giving instructions to Eric on how to emcee the gala in his absence. Bet he talked

to that room last night via telephone to give his regrets.

[BittyJenkins]

8. Hallelujah

Amen Amen Hallelujah Amen!!!!!

[Roland99]

14. Probably the real reason he wanted a shutdown

[alwaysinasnit]

16. Tantrum photo

Thanks for the photo. I had never seen such a close-up photo of a 71 year old man with the expression you would normally see on 3 year old kids. And to think this person has access to the nuclear launch codes.

[Marthe48]

17. Didn't the government cease functioning about 367 days ago?

<sarcasm>

[PatrickforO]

19. Oh, that's funny!

Karmic justice at its best.

There's nothing good about this Trump shutdown, though. He and the GOP OWN it, and I for one will do everything I can to ensure that Dems SWEEP the elections in 2018. We've got to get this traitor out of the White House, and the radical Libertarian Ayn Randian Republicans out of Congress.

[ailsagirl]

21. Hah!!

[longship]

22. Mueller! A cultural parallel.

Here he is, with the inevitable results:

Couldn't resist.



Justice might be slow, but it's inevitable. Mueller drives a steamroller.
