Mueller
So, Mueller's testimony. He didn't seem to know his own case. And a fairly important case. And I just can't agree that it's unfair to accuse when you can't prosecute. Especially when congress can move to impeach. Utter nonsense. I think, the way things will unroll, not a good legacy for him. Obstruction is a given, and though conspiracy is harder to prove, it's right on the doorstep.

I agree entirely. Mueller could have made it easier for the wheels to turn with his testimony. No more tight lips, Bobby 3-Sticks. I suggest he write an op-ed and get it all out in the open.
Btw, how in the world did a law get put into place that says sitting presidents cannot be indicted for their actions while in office? Seriously? Above the law? Trump's favorite place to be: sitting pretty above the law.

Went on quite a rant with the original post, so this is the heavily redacted version. Yeah, frustrating right? This isn't going after someone on some distant or irrelevant charge for purely political reasons. It's serious stuff, like, um, national security. And this buffoon could most likely be impeached for any number of reasons anyway. I don't think you have to cross the t's and dot the i's here. It's almost become too ridiculous to endure.

Unless I’ve miscounted my beans, there is no law, as such, against indicting a sitting pepsodent, umm. It’s a Dept. of Justice policy, and on the whole not all bad. The policy provides a degree of stability even in this day of divided demagogic impulses. There is a well-known route to resolving evidence of major criminality: successful impeachment. I’m more concerned about wasting natural resources and raping the environment to fuel global warming than repugnant sexual activity. Stand back and think about the world one’s descendants must endure. For those lacking descendants, think and consider the world one might be reincarnated into. Reincarnation is just futilely kicking the can down the road for me, but that’s another discussion. Pull up your socks, it’s a DOJ policy not to indict even a polarizing president, and consider the alternative: snap decisions based on inflamed passions of the sort that destroyed Athens and seriously wounded most participating European countries in World War One. A single step at a time. Hasten slowly.

I thought only Democrats had sex. Socialists more, and communists it's just one constant orgy. Trump, rapists, obviously don't factor into it. Well, Allen, consider saving the environment a perk. There's a lot of bad stuff going on behind those tweets.
* I should note that "repugnant" wasn't specific enough for me. (Sex can be consensually repugnant. Just saying.)

Am I now recently having, or have I ever had or desired recently or not, molecular congress with a different human mammal? I take the Sixty-Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, and decline to answer in the negative. On a burnt up planet, perks are meaningless.
Periscope down, please. Make a course for the Souda, Crete.

Well, I agree. But that's where we are now. And before the planet burns up, women will lose their reproductive rights, the divide between the haves and nots will grow ever wider, proper health care will only be for the privileged, and popular music will continue to get worse.
