The displays have started.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report has been forwarded to the Attorney General who has yet to release anything to Congress or the public. Meanwhile cable news network talking heads and panels are spinning without knowing. Or are they?

Here in west central Missouri this morning a large and very pushy group of Grackles descended on the bird seed out back, pushing out other feeding birds and pushing around each other.

Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.

Just one too many times:

Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.

Unlike the cable news network talking heads, at least this Grackle is getting something worthwhile out of his display.

#resist, Сделать Америку великой Снова, Robert Mueller, Russia, special counsel

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

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

“[….]
Rule #3: Institutions will not save you. It took Putin a year to take over the Russian media and four years to dismantle its electoral system; the judiciary collapsed unnoticed. The capture of institutions in Turkey has been carried out even faster, by a man once celebrated as the democrat to lead Turkey into the EU. Poland has in less than a year undone half of a quarter century’s accomplishments in building a constitutional democracy.
[….]
The power of the investigative press—whose adherence to fact has already been severely challenged by the conspiracy-minded, lie-spinning Trump campaign—will grow weaker. The world will grow murkier. Even in the unlikely event that some mainstream media outlets decide to declare themselves in opposition to the current government, or even simply to report its abuses and failings, the president will get to frame many issues. Coverage, and thinking, will drift in a Trumpian direction, just as it did during the campaign—when, for example, the candidates argued, in essence, whether Muslim Americans bear collective responsibility for acts of terrorism or can redeem themselves by becoming the “eyes and ears” of law enforcement. Thus was xenophobia further normalized, paving the way for Trump to make good on his promises to track American Muslims and ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Сделать Америку великой Снова.

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Consciousness of guilt.

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

This evening:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The Trump Administration has accomplished more than any other U.S. Administration in its first two (not even) years of existence, & we are having a great time doing it! All of this despite the Fake News Media, which has gone totally out of its mind-truly the Enemy of the People!
4:43 PM – 9 Dec 2018

“…Enemy of the People…” That’s a problem.

A new hope…

“…I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened…”

Over two years too late.

‘Siege warfare’: Republican anxiety spikes as Trump faces growing legal and political perils (December 9, 2018)

We can only hope.

This morning, from Sheev Palpatine:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
On 245 occasions, former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators he didn’t know, didn’t recall, or couldn’t remember things when asked. Opened investigations on 4 Americans (not 2) – didn’t know who signed off and didn’t know Christopher Steele. All lies!
7:38 AM – 9 Dec 2018

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Leakin’ James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful! This whole deal is a Rigged Fraud headed up by dishonest people who would do anything so that I could not become President. They are now exposed!
7:53 AM – 9 Dec 2018

Strong with this one the smell of fear is.
