      “Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein must still be worried about keeping his job. In his bizarre speech Thursday, the one where he maybe inadvertently told the world it doesn’t even know how hard Russia has worked to “undermine America,” he made very sure to toe

        I think Rosenstein agreed to let Barr shut down the Mueller investigation as soon as he was installed as AG. Then he stood behind him to make it seem like he was in agreement. Rosenstein is a black hat.

    We knew, a long time ago, that this day was coming.

    We knew that Trump would comprehensively degrade the Rule of Law.

    We knew that when this day arrived it would be defining.

    We have arrived.

    What happens now determines - long before Nov 2020 - whether we will even have an opportunity to vote in a legitimate election.

    We can’t merely demand that those we elected in Nov 2018 do their job; we have to steel them with our overwhelming acts of support so they not only know what is expected of them, but also know we stand with them.

    Goodnight TOD ….

      If the house starts Impeachment hearings…they know that the Republicans in the Senate will not convict and remove Trump from office …so where do we go from there…even now the WH is refusing to cooperate…

      is there a danger of throwing care to wind and starting Impeachment hearings regardless of the outcome….will the courts be less partisan…and side with Congress…will Trump and the DOJ defy the courts..and what happens with the upcoming Presidential election…

    NRA executive Chris Cox in lead up to Trump speech to nra:
    “They hate us. They hate our trucks, they hate our plastic straws, and yes, they hate our guns. But what they fail to understand is we don’t give a damn what they think.”
    -Yes they don’t give a damn about anyone who disagrees with them.
    -The Trump party is building a case to de-humanize non-whites as sub-human, babies, LGBT, or anyone who doesn’t vote for them.
    -So that for example who will be surprised at anything by the time gop is locking up Jews.

    New meme needed to permeate that says “Trump conspired and Trump obstructed.”
    Barr/GOP successfully spun the “no collusion” meme after the media ran with his faux version of the Mueller report.
    The more gop slows this all down and gums up the works, the more the Barr playbook and Barr memes permeate the blogosphere/talking heads.
    -These memes are aimed at the 15% bloc of voters in the middle.
    Imo we desperately need congressional Hearings: We must expose Mueller’s facts and findings direct to all Americans via television.

  39. 66 bridgeriverpass
    April 27, 2025 at 12:51 pm

    Also imo notable: The media not talking about Manafort and have stonewalled about his key links to Kremlin and Ukraine…we know evidence for conspiracy is there. (He probably still holds hope out for a pardon down the road.) There’s a reason why Trump brought Manafort on board his campaign and why he changed the plank on Ukraine policy = Out of the gate the Trump campaign showed their allegiance to Putin.

      Al·la·hu Ak·bar
      a phrase meaning ‘God is most great’, used by Muslims in prayers and as a general declaration of faith or thanksgiving.
      “crowds of people gathered, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar!’”

        April 28, 2025 at 2:17 pm

        Sheila, I know precisely what it means. It’s in quotes to indicate the fact that it has been usurped by every known radical group claiming Islam as it’s excuse to slaughter people - be the it the dudes who flew planes into the Towers & Pentagon and …. the list of atrocities is endless.

        The usurpation of ‘god,’ to justify terror and slaughter is hardly unique to “Muslims,” as you know.

        The Crusades, the colonization and genocide of Native Peoples from the Arctic to the tip of Argentina by “Christians” being but other examples.

        So, my including it was indeed to force an equivalence between Trump and the very worst of 20th and 21st Century hate-mongers.

        Islam, as a religion, is an admirable framework within which millions find solace, joy and community - all of which I respect and defend no different than any other belief structure.

    Pls see remarkable background on counter terrorist analyst Malcolm Nance:
    https://politicon.com/speaker/malcolm-nance/Malcolm Nance
    Malcolm Nance:
    “Donald Trump himself, the one component that has never been investigated was, was he compromised? No one has really looked into that. They looked into whether he colluded to a criminal conspiracy standard. But whether he was compromised, whether he owes money to Russia, whether he has some personal fealty to Vladimir Putin that we all see with our own eyes, that has never been answered. And so, until all of these things are addressed, until we get some clear solid answers, this nation is a national security nightmare. We know our information – 35 people in the White House weren’t even supposed to be cleared to let into the building - they were working there. President of the United State – best friend is a former KGB director. So again, we are going to remain vulnerable until we take these issues by the horns.” (c/o Colarossi)
