Re: POTUS 45:55: Wow, @CNN RATINGS HAVE CRASHED. LOST ALL CREDIBILITY!

I can see two scenarios in which Mueller would speak truths beyond the public parts of the report.

1. Barr really p-ssed him off. Not only did Barr willfully and cynically misrepresent the report, he also lied about his interactions with Mueller re: it. Mueller's honor code may have been activated by this.

2. The GOP loons go after him at the hearing to grovel to Sh-tler and he says, "welp, if that's how you want to play..."

Mueller seems to be a straight shooter but he is at the end of the day a Republican so he likely doesn't want to see the party reduced to a smoking crater. If they and Dump aren't too outrageously stupid he will probably pull the covers over his head and pretend there's nothing he can do to stop the Nazi Night Train. But if they impugn his team that "leave no man behind" machismo may kick in. If I were the Goopers I wouldn't even show up to the hearing for fear that some backbencher says something Fox News level stupid and untrue and Mueller opens up a can of whupas-s on him.

The thing is, Mueller could act with honor and integrity and it would not turn the republican party into a smoking crater. The party is already the party of trump. 95% or more of it supports everything trump does and says. Nothing will change, even if Mueller comes out and says exactly what those hundreds (or was it 1000s?) of former prosecutors said when they noted that had trump NOT been president he clearly would have been indicted for the crimes the evidence gathered showed he committed. This stuff IS a waste of time.


The democrats need simply to put forth a legislative agenda that is progressive and meets the needs of the country. And then speak about how the other side is doing nothing but acting like obstructionists on everything and anything, and have completely abdicated their constitutional responsibilities.

We just need to spend a few more elections electing the slightly better party. If we did that at some point the scales would tip and the slightly better party might become the better party, at which point the other party might need to change to stay alive. We've spent decades (or maybe our whole existence as a nation) going down the wrong path. It will take years (or decades or even centuries) to make it mostly right.

Much like we can walk and chew gum at the same time, we can advance a more progressive view of government while at the same time exposing all of Chump's crimes for the public to view. No, he won't be held accountable until at least when he's out of office but that doesn't mean you sweep his actions under the rug. Dems may disagree on how far they want to go with policy, but we ALL agree that Chump must go. The Mueller hearings go towards that goal.

Let's say you're right (and to be honest... yeah, you probably are. If Mueller says "actually Dump is a criminal and should be impeached but G. Gordon Liddy was holding my family hostage that day so I had to delay the real findings" every single Republican voter in this country will hear His Fascisty belch "fake news!" and Fox wheedle "a controversial assertion which many Republican Members are countering" and they won't even skip a beat in their slavish homage to the Dumperor.

It's still not a waste of time to do the right thing.

Who the hell is Mark Esper?

Oh good. He’s a former Raytheon lobbyist.

Keep draining that swamp.

Then Rube is right because Ken Starr is wrong about LITERALLY everything. The guy destroys everything he touches.

Sure. That works. Why is everything different depending on who is in the White House at the time? Impeachment process is different. The reaction to the debt is different. Supreme Court choice process is different.

It's time for the Democrats to start playing Hardball. They're a bunch of wimps with everything and it's getting old.

I dont disagree but that literally has zero to do with your post which started this conversation. Having Mueller testify IS playing hardball. They need to do MORE of that not less of it. Otherwise just quit because without him on the record (beyond his report) there is no reason for any of this.

If he is the hero/man of principle some of you pretend he is he will answer every question to the best he can and will give them plenty of ammo. If he is the coward he tends to look like these days he will take Barr's warning and run with it. Either way we know where to go next.

Now outside of the committee...Democrats need to make sure their agenda is being pushed forward. But in committee you tear down the Grand Old Paper Tiger Party and their King piece by piece.

Not only do illegals vote, they vote more than three times each!!

I predict he’ll become more unsteady and rambling as we approach the testimony.

This will be how he refuses to leave if we beat him. His followers will back him up. And then we'll see if the army and the police are still Americans or are merely Republicans.

We'll see. Frankly I expect Mueller to screw the Democrats entirely and all the "news" will be Republican conspiracy theories for the summer break. If Schiff and Nadler are able to ask the right questions and get answers from Mueller it might work.

He was also confirmed with a vote of 90-8. No votes included Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Booker, Warren, and Harris.

Just because he was a lobbyist and nominated by Trump doesn't mean he isn't a necessarily a good choice. Something about blind squirrels and nuts. Time will tell.

On the other hand,

Esper was chief of staff at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, from 1996 to 1998.

In other words, he's a d-ckhead.
