Instant classic!

Has Trump ever told the truth?

I see all this about how he has told over 10,000 lies (and that was months ago).

Isn’t the question more when has he told the truth?

Not sure he ever tells the truth.

You can’t work with this idiot. Nor can you believe anything he says.

Look at that little face!

What a pretty little pup.

Other than the crime being that of robbing a bank...

Uh, this sounds just like our universe.

Could that be the point?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Michael had a big problem already...

But now it’s a lot worse. That could be very expensive and lead to jail time. Which is where he belongs.

Mueller said he didn't have enough evidence to establish conspiracy

Collusion is not a legal term.

Mueller said there wasn’t sufficient evidence to indict for conspiracy.

I believe that those 126 documented contacts and information sharing show strong circumstantial evidence of conspiracy to subvert the election. However, I’m not a lawyer and I could be totally wrong.

I think Mueller blinked. He didn’t ask for this to be thrust upon him and he was looking at years of hell if he had pushed it.

In the end, he backed off. I think he will go to his grave regretting his failure.

Indeed

Republicans care only about power.

Even the Supreme Court views the Constitution as just a piece of paper

As a country, we’re completely off the rails. The constitution mandates that Congress and only Congress has the power of the purse. It also is the only governmental body that can declare war. Well the whole thing about Congress declaring war went out the window decades ago.

But now money that was voted on to go to Defense spending is going to be re-purposed on the whim of the executive branch. That means the whole notion of constitutionality and following the constitution is affectively dead at this point.

The federal budget now is just a big slush fund that the executive branch can move around for whatever priorities they deem appropriate. We are no longer a republic governed by a set of rules.

We have slid into a dictatorship? Monarchy? I’m not sure what this is. But I don’t think that the country can be saved at this point.

I’m close enough to the finish line that I can sit here and hope that they won’t cancel Social Security or defund Medicare with an executive order. But my children are going to have to deal with this.

At some point this is going to get violent.
