I Am in Awe of Mueller's Epic Troll of The Republicans. It's Like a Reality Show Reveal!!!!

Well, since Friday's announcement we've seen Roger Stone, Sean Hannity, and Donald Trump in complete meltdown mode.

We've watched the entire right go full on batshit crazy demanding HRC's arrest.

And now this:

Here's a delicious thought: Mueller is under absolutely no obligation to inform the DOJ as to how the grand jury voted. Sessions has no right to call him to question him. So it's entirely possible Sessions and Trump find out when we do. Guess who's up right now, watching six screens of tv? It's been 19 hours since he last tweeted.

It's like a reality show, managed perfectly for greatest exposure. My hat is off to Mr. Mueller.

Nina Turner/Our Revolution Repeats Right Wing Uranium Spin:


Nina Turner Repeats Right Wing Spin: Russians 'Control 20 Percent Of Our Uranium Extraction!'
By Karoli Kuns
10/29/17 1:53pm

It's really bad form for someone from Our Revolution to choose to validate a groundless, factless, baseless right wing conspiracy theory by putting a lefty spin on it and tossing it into the Sunday show universe the way Nina Turner did today.

Really bad form. In the video above, Turner echoes the right-wing, but perhaps in a more careful way.

SNIP...

"I mean, the fact that a Russian company now owns 20 percent -- or controls 20 percent of our uranium extraction, and has de facto and de jure exercise. They can control whether or not it's put -- you know, extracted or not extracted," she said.

That bolded statement is no different than what the wingers are saying. Without uttering the words, Nina Turner just repeated the crux of the right-wing fever swamp's claim: That Hillary Clinton sold (or allowed to be sold) 20 PERCENT OF OUR URANIUM.

Who needs Sean Hannity when we can have Nina Turner repeat it on a national cable television Sunday show?

HRC: Master Troll Level.

I admire her so much! This is a bittersweet reminder of what could have been.

HBO is paying Halperin to Mansplain the '16 Election. UPDATED



Political reporters Mark Halperin and John Heilemann are writing a third installment in their best-selling Game Change series, this one about the 2016 presidential election, and HBO Films has acquired rights for a mini-series adaptation.

The book will tell the behind-the-scenes story of how Donald Trump triumphed over Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, Penguin Press announced Thursday. Halperin and Heilemann were on the road covering the campaign for their Showtime series, The Circus. (A new season premieres on March 19.)

The original Game Change, which peeled back the curtain on the 2008 race between Barack Obama and John McCain (with Sarah Palin in a major co-starring role), hit No. 3 on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list in 2010. Double Down: Game Change 2012 followed and reached No. 13 in 2013.

The new Game Change book (no official title yet) is slated for early 2018, with the mini-series to follow.

Here's an idea, HBO execs.....Scrap this pile of shit written by one sexual harasser to defend another sexual harasser and put the final episodes of Game of Thrones on.
