Late last night, an image in the Department of Justice court filing in response to Donald Trump’s “Special Master” attempt in the aftermath of the classified document search warrant:

In his office at his resort in Florida.

If you’re really stupid you’ll respond, “But they showed a photo of the classified documents.”

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Lock him up.

Last Thursday, from Representative Jason Smith (r):

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Special Counsel Mueller’s report has delivered the final nail in the collusion coffin. Anyone who pushes the false collusion narrative after today is playing into Russian hands to divide our country and cast doubt on our elections. The case is closed; it’s time to move on.
4:54 PM – 18 Apr 2019

Thus spake Nathan Thurm.

Some of the responses:

I guess you didn’t read it.

Now that’s some quality spin right there

Not really. I don’t even think it’s a mediocre lie.

So, nothing to say about a lying Press Secretary, 10 possible obstruction charges, 12 other charges that have been out sourced, or a lying AG?

Trump on appointment of Mueller. “This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.” That’s the statement of an innocent man?

I’m still struggling to understand why 140 different contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia doesn’t both you. Why don’t you care that it’s been *proven* that they interfered? Do you love Trump *more* than America?

why all the lying? why hasn’t trump acknowledged the Russian interference and vowed to do something about it? do you suppose it’s because he couldn’t win without it? so many questions

I’m not surprised that you don’t know how to read.

Looks like a clear case of obstruction. Mueller in reports says he “can’t clear the president of obstruction,” and list 10 times he tried to.

Really Jason? Do your eyeballs not connect to your brain? Either you are just blind lying to your followers about the report, or you haven’t even skimmed the report. 10 different impeachable obstruction events are listed – only need 1.

Read the report you half-wit

You should probably take a moment and read it first. Then, you should take a moment to rewrite your stupid tweet.

I need to move to your district just to run against you. Your language alone is a disservice to your constituency.

You apparently didn’t read the report.

The investigation was never looking for “collusion” Bc that’s not a legal term.

But you are excellent at regurgitating talking points that your gullible, Fox-watching supporters are sure to lick up.

You clearly haven’t read it. take the time to soak it in. its just begun, trump is f*cked anyone who pushes the false narrative that it’s over and we must move on is enabling a con man

Move on?

F*ck no.

This is just getting started.

Your boy is an immoral, unpatriotic opportunist.

Really? It established that Russia interfered in our elections for the express purpose of electing Donald Trump. Trump did *nothing* to stop that, in fact, he *encouraged* it. He’s lied repeatedly to the American people. And you’re still his bitch, instead MOO8s.

Reading is fundamental.

Back to the streets – Kansas City, Missouri – November 8, 2018

This evening several hundred individuals gathered in the falling snow in front of the Charles Evans Whittaker U.S. Courthouse in downtown Kansas City, Missouri to demonstrate against Donald Trump’s manipulations of the U.S. Department of Justice in the aftermath of the firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions (r).

The Kansas City protest was one of hundreds across the nation this evening – coordinated by several progressive organizations and publicized via social media.

‘A Red Line Crossed’: Nationwide Protests Declared for Thursday at 5PM After Jeff Sessions Fired

…Right after Trump forced Sessions to resign, the White House announced that Matthew Whitaker—a DOJ official who has shown open hostility to the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller—would now serve as acting AG and be put in charge of the ongoing investigation.

“Trump just put someone who has openly trashed Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in charge of it,” Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, one of the advocacy groups behind the rapid-response demonstrations, explained in an emergency email Wednesday evening. “Trump thought that by waiting until after the polls closed on Election Day, our voices would be silent. He was wrong”

Anna Galland, executive director for MoveOn.org, said: “This is a red line crossed, an attack on rule of law.”

In Kansas City:

“Real Traitor”

“No one is above the law”

“Whitaker must recuse”

“No crown”

“Free Jim Acosta”

“It’s Mueller Time”

“Trump must go”

“Protect Mueller”

“Not above the law”

“No one…”

“Grab ’em by the Attorney General”

“No one is above the law”

Donald Trump, Сделать Америку великой Снова, obstruction of justice, Russia, social media, Twitter

For his base:

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?
2:43 PM – 15 Jun 2017

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, ‘bleached’ emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?
2:56 PM – 15 Jun 2017

That’s an awful lot of whining in one day.

Pass the popcorn.

Someone is feeling the heat:

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice
5:55 AM – 15 Jun 2017

Sad!

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history – led by some very bad and conflicted people! #MAGA
6:57 AM – 15 Jun 2017

He can’t help himself.
