Can we officially be done fetishizing and folk hero-izing Republicans?

"It's Mueller Time" memes are all cute until he does exactly what we expect Republicans to do: fuck us over. Mueller's history gave us not a single shred of reason to assume he was going to be fair in this process, yet there we were spending the last 2 years worshipping him like he was Elliot Ness. We actually did the Cons a favor by building Mueller up to be this saint, because it's now that much harder to refute what was ultimately (and unsurprisingly to me) shitty investigative work.

We are in this nasty habit of desperately clinging to anything that seems even remotely anti-Trump, but I promise you that all these guys will fuck us every chance they get.

Remember, McCain was Satan himself on DU just 11 short years ago; today we're awfully close to giving him sainthood. Don't turn these people into heroes.

1. You read the report? I only saw what Barr decided in his summary.

2. When will we learn, there are no decent or honest republicans.

They smile, they lie, they cheat. All of them. This includes the likes of Joe Scarborough, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, etc. They smile at us and we fall for it every time. No matter what republicans may do in the future, I will understand that they are craven liars. I always had faith that justice would prevail, no more.

3. I'm leaving my opinion of Mueller open for now.

Until we get a better idea of what is in the report and not just some carefully chosen snippets by an AG appointed by Trump just to put the brakes on Mueller's investigation.
