This evening, from Senator Roy Blunt (r), linking to a *checks notes* press release:

Senator Roy Blunt @RoyBlunt
Democrats’ attempt to advance their partisan agenda under the guise of election security is about press releases, not policy

5:03 PM · Jul 31, 2019

Some of the comments:

Making sure our elections aren’t hacked is partisan?!??!! Thanks Russian Roy. You need to defend your leader Moscow Mitch.

There are only so many lies people will buy, you folks have exceeded the limit of lies for centuries…

Justify leaving us vulnerable in whatever manner helps you sleep at night, Senator. That’s your conscience you have to deal with.

When Trump’s ship began to sink [after the chant], all the Republicans on board were offered life boats but only a handful accepted, the rest wanted to say on board, with their Supreme Leader.

Your ship is sinking GOP and you’re so pathetic that you don’t even know it.

Let them sink. The sharks will eat well at least.

Nope. Not gonna happen. Professional courtesy.

Look Roy, we get it. Y’all can’t win if the election is fair. But face it dude, you’ve woke the beast and we’re coming for your jobs.

you sound like @realDonaldTrump , not meant as a compliment.

When did you decide to join Moscow Mitch in treason?

Waiting for you and #MoscowMich to tell me what is partisan about election security.

What is partisan about election security? PLEASE TELL ME!

You’d be as extinct as the dinosaurs if we had fair and secure elections. Your game is self preservation, not governance.

Yeah, protecting democracy seems so “elitist.” Way to own the libs by allowing our country to be hijacked by foreign governments.

You’ve been spending too much time with #MoscowMitch and not enough time with the people. We want secure elections.

This Missourian wants safe & secure elections & if you aren’t part of the solution you are the problem. For once, put country over party.

Should we start calling you #RussiaRoy now? You and #MoscowMitch seem a lot more interested in running interference for Putin than in protecting our elections.

I call BS! You are protecting Trump and #MoscowMitchMcTraitor
How is protecting election security partisan? Unless you’re afraid of a clean election in which Trump loses?

How is an agenda that helps everyone (except the very, very rich) partisan?

Cool.

Nice *checks notes* PRESS RELEASE

Yeah, he missed the irony on that one.

This….. is a press release

Ok, so now you have a problem with election security like your evil overlord #MoscowMitch. Weren’t you recently working on election security but now it’s not good. You working with the Russians too? You bout to get a nickname too.

#RublesRoy?

Blunt is a Moscow Mitch lackey. He has always been a follower. Blunt is bad for Missouri and bad for the nation.

RussianRoy to the defense of #MoscowMitch</blockquot

The Kremlin thanks you for your service Comrade Blunt… #ElectionIntegrity #ElectionSecurity

Why do you hate this country?

There’s more.

A review, this morning:

Adam Serwer @AdamSerwer
Mueller testified that the president is an unprosecuted felon. His testimony however, lacked a compelling musical number.
4:21 AM · Jul 25, 2019

Some of the responses:

Mueller’s testimony did not meet standards of reality show dramatics and in turn, was a bust. Media is stuck on stupid when it comes to covering Trump presidency. Media and some in public wanted theatrical pronouncements of Trumps guilt. Because we didn’t get it, Mueller a dud

So, what does the educated & rational public do when the press has turned into an entertainment machine?

It’s total saturation. “Journalists” and reporters now do this as part of their DNA & most seem to have zero insight

The idea that all this needs to be reality TV is the most damning aspect of American culture

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Nothing changes from the Mueller Report. There was insufficient evidence and therefore, in our Country, a person is innocent. The case is closed! Thank you.
10:37 AM – 29 May 2019

Not so fast.

Some of the responses:

Mueller statement is 180 degrees from the four-page statement that Bill Barr issued at the time he first saw the report.

Mueller pretty much gave Congress the letters “IMP–CH” and told them to start buying vowels

Sorry Con. Your BS does not play any longer. He said if he could have said you were innocent he would have. The only thing now protecting you is the con you pulled on America. Mueller was clear, you committed crimes.

Mueller basically just said you obstructed justice so much that he was unable to get enough evidence to charge you with conspiring with Russia, and that therefore Congress should impeach you for your crimes.

Mueller: “If we had confidence the President did not commit a crime we would have said so.”

Actually, homefry, Mueller said the only thing saving your ass is a policy that says he can’t indict a sitting president, and that it’s Congress’ job to find you guilty of the crimes you have committed through impeachment.

No innocent person says anything like this.

America deserves better than a criminal who worked with Russia to get “elected.” You should resign.

That’s not what he said boss. He said he wasn’t allowed to charge you for the crimes he believed you committed.

Must feel bad inside to know you only won because of Russian interference and Comey’s one bad decision. Not having the vote of the people.

Your fall will be one of the most satisfying thing to ever happen to this world.

The only question is if you are going to just be a one-term President or an impeached one.

#resist, Donald Trump, Kansas City, missouri, Mueller Report, Robert Mueller, Russia, special counsel, William Barr

Early this evening approximately fifty individuals showed up in Kansas City on the steps to the Liberty Memorial on Pershing facing Union Station to protest the continued suppression of the Mueller Report by Trump Administration Attorney General William Barr. This was one of hundreds of protests across the nation, organized on very short notice by a loose coalition of national activist groups.

Two Kansas City Police officers stood nearby.

“What are you hiding?”

“…the full report”

A flyby by a local network affiliate:

The Liberty Memorial:

“We won’t be Barred from the truth”

“Bill Barr, what are you hiding?”

“No one is above the law”

That’s what we used to think.
