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

This evening:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Do you believe that the Failing New York Times just did a story stating that the United States is substantially increasing Cyber Attacks on Russia. This is a virtual act of Treason by a once great paper so desperate for a story, any story, even if bad for our Country…..
8:15 PM – 15 Jun 2019

Projection.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
…..ALSO, NOT TRUE! Anything goes with our Corrupt News Media today. They will do, or say, whatever it takes, with not even the slightest thought of consequence! These are true cowards and without doubt, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
8:15 PM – 15 Jun 2019

Yep. Projection.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

He doth protest too much, methinks…

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.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Release the Mueller Report Protest – Kansas City – April 4, 2019

#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.

Your guess is as good as mine

“It hit the rim.”
“…just giving away this game.”
“Oh come on!”
“How did neither of those shots go in?”
“I was sure the tip was in.”

Trying to decide if my social media feed is about the four page Barr summary of the Mueller Report or a basketball game.
