Will Mueller Carve Trump a New One?
Hopefully, Robert Mueller's testimony to the United States House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee, scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., July 24, 2019 will be the shot fired across Trump befuddled brow and end his daily assault on our Republic form of government.
The 445 page Mueller Report, if one's struggles to read it, is a legal document written carefully within the confines of the narrow parameters crafted by the United States Attorney General's Office to protect the most corrupt monster that has ever served dishonorable in the office of President of the United States. This is a sad, disgraced patch of lunacy for this once great nation.
The Dilemma:
The Attorney General is appointed by Donald J. Trump, America's First Fake POTUS, real POS, who is "the central figure" in the Special Council's Investigation, hardly, a judicious arrangement.
Trump, as any literate person knows, is a well known, NYC "Con Man", with an extensive background in rubbing up to, and, doing business with the Mafia.
The Mueller Report, in my opinion, is difficult to read for a non-legal expert, but, clearly does not "exonerate" President "Trash Mouth".
I am looking forward to Trump's comeuppance. Are you?
Trump is deeply in the pocket of Putin, the Russian Mafia, and American criminals. Enjoy the result.
It isnt possible for Trump to come out looking good from whats going to happen tomorrow, although the spin from him and his lackeys will be in full force afterwards.
Mueller's testimony is not going to reveal anything new. It's all been made public and the facts have been reported (along with falsehoods).
Democrats are going to try 'sell' Mueller's testimony as something new. The problem is that Democrats aren't believable any longer. The 1001 excuses for losing the last election have poisoned the Democrats' well of 'truth'. If 'truth' is relative for Democrats, it's relative for everyone else.
Truth is not "relative" as you stated. It is the fabric of science, humanity, and a central principle of religions. Trump is a self-addicted liar. Read his book, The Art of The Deal. He attributes his "success" to not being restricted by the constraints of others when it comes to ethics.
Unfortunately, truth seems to have become a partisan thing.
So, impeach Trump already. The facts are the facts. The facts were known before Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. Mueller only confirmed facts that had already been reported to the public.
Democrats are being guided by a truth that isn't based upon the facts. Democrats' truth is subjective and relative to their party's politics.
Please help us stop Russian aggression in the United States. Russia is not our friend. That nation has attacked us. Can you tell Mitch McConnell to put national election security before partisanship, pretty please? All that money spent on tanks and air craft carriers and 'hot shot" planes won't amount to nothing if stool pigeons for Vlad are in the White House and running the Senate.
We were attacked by Russia. Can't you help us out?
We were not attacked by Russia. Typical leftist nonsense. And yes I read the report that the Senate put out yesterday
Russia pales as a threat to our nation and our liberties compared to our two greatest threats, the Democrats and Islam
Nation states China and Iran are both much greater threats than Russia.
Putin is a thug and Russia is not our friend, but they are not a serious threat
Yes we were. Trying to claim they didn't is as idiotic as claiming the earth is 9,000 years old and flat.
Oh please. Such xenophobic nonsense doesn't even really deserve a reply. No one is coming to take your guns, no one is coming down to your work and going to slap the sausage out of your mouth, no one is going to cart you off to a FEMA camp.
That's exactly what Putin has been telling our dimwit President. It's exactly what a snake like Putin wants the gullible white nationalist sheep to believe.
Yeah, sure. Just more BS sold to you by Russian propaganda. "Vlad is good man, he not scary, he very nice and strong for you Americans. He be friend and want to get to much know you and respect you large penises and Christian Churches, yes, that's right, we very much big friendly, no?"...
Putin's Russia is not our friend, he wants nothing more than to have the United States on its knees and he's getting his way by influencing the elections in his favor. He knows how to work the poorly educated white nationalists and white supremacists into a fervor, he's also anti-liberal and anti-lgtbq so his politics align with many bigoted white nationalist Americans, he even had Fox and friends fawning over him talking about how strong he was during the Obama presidency when so many bigots here were wishing they had a white President. It was nauseating to watch, but there you had it, treasonous bigots who'd take the side of Russians bent on our destruction over siding with fellow law abiding American citizens simply because they seethed with hatred over who their fellow Americans chose to love or were of a different faith or were perhaps atheist. So sad to watch.
Enough said. Where is your credibility? You have some organization (in the millions you said) which has armaments stacked up and ready to unload on innocent Americans when you deem appropriate - we must fear and ward against an attack from within as well. Please don't hurt us.
DP, you better preach!!! Teach, Brother!! All right, doors of Newstalkers open!!! I need a witness to the sham and the shame of all that has been undertaken! Evil is afoot! Its hitched a ride on the back of a coward! We will topple evil and expose the coward for who he really is!
That’s not quite what I said. We have millions of conservative Veterans who are armed and determined to continue to defend this country against all enemies, Foreign AND Domestic
nor did I ever state that we would somehow attack innocent Americans.
do you understand the difference between to defend and be on offensive attack?
you despise the writings of our founders. You despise the right of Free people to defend themselves against tyranny
the primary threat against life and libertycomes from the left in this country. You despise individualism and the sovereignty of the individual
your leftist idols seek to cram collectivist enslavement to the state
your candidates vow to seize ourfirearms by force with one, Swallwell vowing to use nukes on US citizens and/or imprisonment if we don’t surrender our right to keep and bear arms
we aren’t the threat to life and liberty, you and the rest of the left are the ones doing the threatening
Keep writing, please. I love it when you speak your mind. Tell us more. . . .
total nonsense. As I said, Putin is a thug and no friend of the US. Russia is not our friend
But neither Putin nor Russian can seize what we earn
neither Putin nor Russia can pass into law totalitarian bills like the Democrats love
neither Putin nor Russia can stifle free market capitalism like the Democrats engage in
neither Putin nor Russia can put radical “living Constitution” on our Federal Courts like the Democrats.
I can go on with all the treachery of the Democrats including appeasement with our enemies like Obama, Hillary, Kerry and the new crop of anti American appeasers in the Democratic party
as to Islam, it is a politically driven movement at war with the rest of civilization for nearly 1400 years. It is committed to conquering or killing all mankind as commanded by the Quran.
[Deleted] Your cynicism is too obvious.
I'm a law abiding, tax paying American citizen, born here, raised here, and I love our constitution. The only treachery I see is that being committed by those capitulating to Russian desires, giving them what they wanted which was a weakened America, a devastated western democracy with a divided electorate and they succeeded because some chose Russia over their fellow citizens. Those are the traitors, not Americans who like social security or Medicare. So please go blow your nonsensical horn of "statist Marxist socialist communist" somewhere its appreciated, perhaps Siberia, because here you are only fighting an invented bullshit straw man that doesn't exist.
Easy to differentiate our Constitutional Republic values and Principles from those of the Democrats
We are not some communist collective. We are a federal republic of sovereign states. It's about respecting and following the Constitutionally mandated separation of powers
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State." – Federalist No. 45, Alleged Danger from the Powers of the Union to the State Governments Considered, Independent Journal, January 26, 1788"
The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."
-- James Madison, speech in the House of Representatives, January 10, 1794
Read Madison's 1830 letter explaining the term General Welfare, the purpose of it, and why it cannot be construed as you collectivist statists have abused it
“If Congress can apply money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may establish teachers in every State, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public Treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads. In short, every thing, from the highest object of State legislation, down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.”
James Madison, on the House floor during debates on a Cod Fishery bill [February 1792]
On free markets unhindered by government
“I own myself the friend to a very free system of commerce, and hold it as a truth, that commercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive and impolitic — it is also a truth, that if industry and labor are left to take their own course, they will generally be directed to those objects which are the most productive, and this in a more certain and direct manner than the wisdom of the most enlightened legislature could point out.” - James Madison to Congress, April 9, 1789
“Is it not the better rule to leave all works to private enterprise, regulated, and when expedient, aided by the cooperation of the State?” - Franklin Pierce: Second Annual Message, December 4, 1854
“The Constitution’s framers intended to establish a free government, which must not be permitted to degenerate into the unrestrained authority of a mere majority or the unbridled weight of a mere influential few.” - Calvin Coolidge to Congress, 1926
“Silent Cal’s” peaceful administration championed Laissez-Faire and Free-Market policies. He believed firmly that the Constitution granted the right to contract freely, and he refused to allow the government to get involved in business matters. Coolidge was also perhaps the last President to hold the belief that the federal government had no role in alleviating individual suffering, and that that should be left to private enterprise. He fought corruption by convicting those involved in the Teapot Dome oil-lease scandal. He reduced national debt by one-third and cut spending by 43%, vetoed farm subsidies, and cut taxes by a whopping 50%. He famously said, “Perhaps my greatest accomplishment was minding my own business.”
Jefferson danger of Judiciary
Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” (Letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804
in a letter in 1820: “You [William C. Jarvis] seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions, a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy . . . . The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that, to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party its members would become despots.”
Redistribution of wealth
"To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it." — Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816
Samuel Adams
The Utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical, as those which vest all property in the Crown, are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government unconstitutional.The Utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical, as those which vest all property in the Crown, are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government unconstitutional.
The Necessity of Armed Citizens against potential government tyranny
United States v. Cruikshank , 92 U.S. 542 1876
The Justices stated "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second Amendments means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government"
James Madison
"T]he advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." -- James Madison, Federalist No. 46"
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of the rulers." -- Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
--Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)
I loved your post, especially the first part. Well said and 100% right on. I agree.
Well, he’s right and you are not. Enough said.
No, no, not enough. Please, you can pick up where LFOD left off. . . .
You can start with LFOD's statement about Obama appeasement of Vladimir. . . . please explain how it is the Russian President considers the American President as a 'business partner' when our country has Vladimir and his countrymen sanctioned in a strong gonads vice-grip. I am a tad confused about that train of consciousness. Care to explain it to me, us?
Impeachment of Trump, like the proposed "impeachment of Nixon" is coming.
The process to remove even an EVIL MAN, like Trump, from office is a convoluted one that takes time and patience.
NEVERTHELESS, it is advancing.
Trump is, once again, in "panic mode".
Defending a criminal is reprehensible, and, indeed, is not PATRIOTIC.
It is DISGRACEFUL!
The "Communist" scare tactics of Joe McCarthy is a tool used by the effete Right Wing, FAKE PATRIOT BRANCH of the GOP (Government of Putin)
It is an ineffective tool, limp as Trump's hugging the "American Flag" on national TV. Standing up for a "wannabe" dictator is not "patriotism". It is treasonous!
Conservatives have never fought for Americ's values, they fight for their own twisted self-interest. Even General Washington complained to Alexander Hamilton that "Conservatives give me more headaches than the Torries". They hung up the appropriations of money on re-supplying the Continental Army until they figured a way to make a "profit" from it.
Conservatives have not changed, not grown; they have remained "sticks in the Mud"!
When?
Or is Trump goading Democrats? So far, Trump is running unopposed. House Democrats are in the headlines but Democratic candidates are not.
Democrats want to litigate the last election but impeachment will allow Republicans to actually litigate the last election. Don't forget that the Clinton campaign was ground zero for opening a counter intelligence investigation of the Trump campaign.
Hillary Clinton could likely be testifying before the Senate during the general election. And testimony before the Senate as part of an impeachment trial isn't the same as testifying before some investigative committee.
What the fuck for?
The same reason Jerry Nadler has been issuing subpoenas for anything and everything related to Trump. It's politics.
Democrats have not been objectively impartial. Expecting Republicans to be objectively impartial is delusional thinking.
17 United INTEL AGENCIES disagree with your assessment of Russia's threat. Additionally, all of America's Allies do, as well.
Trump has replaced the CIA DIRECTOR, the National Security Director twice, the Attorney General 4 times in 3 years for failing to conformed to his "twisted reality".
I put my money on professional Intelligence Professional every time our "amateur", play-actin, wannabe intelligence wonk with zero experience.
Republicans in Congress have repeatedly proven that they choose "corruption" over the country, and, party over the Constitution.
Only to "Republicans" is the truth a "partisan thing".
So, Russia's meddling in our election is OK?
And Trump's Bromance with Putin is Kosher?
China, Iran, Democrats, liberals, Leftist, Muslins, Islam, Russia (a little), Commies, Fascists, and Socialists are the bad guys, but, Trump is the "Anointed One"?
How long is your list of the "bad doers"?
I agree!
Wow, powerful prose, poetry, truth ripping through your post. What a wonderful read!
I see. Everything is clear, now. Thank you, Nerm_L!
Stunning retort. I am speechless.
By the time Mueller is done even the gop may demand Trump's impeachment...
Wow, you need to share whatever it is you are smoking.
We are smoking dried Republican g-ASS. It is the "newest" thing to smoke. Light one up!
How did that work out for you?
Several long-standing Republicans have broken from the GOP due to its turn to corruption, colliding of Russia and involvement with protecting the career criminal Trump. Some in Congress are beginning to peel away from this
pathological liar.
During the Nixon Era, Nixon managed to get re-elected, then was forced to resign when the "Audio Tapes" surfaced.
Trump is facing a similar future. However, he may be facing PRISON.
Yepper! If Donald the Coward is found guilty of a crime do not spare him prison. He is a national disgrace! Preeming and flashing his cowardice around for the whole world to see. He won't even play fair with his own countrymen and their rule of law! The cowardly faker!
Wouldn't that be "LOVE-ER-LY", but, I fear that would be like hoping that Trump would "admit publicly" that he is a CROOK, a psychopath, a child rapists, an adulterer, a fraud.
I do not have much hope for Mueller changing anything tomorrow after listening to all the soft-pedaling that was occurring on the cable news shows today. All I heard were excuses for why Mueller can't cope. From DOJ's "heavy hand" imposed at the curtain call, to Bob Woodward who can't relate this case to narrowly to Watergate, to Mueller simply being bored with the possibilities of what will come at him-such that he may plead the fifth!
Once again, the system is falling down on its only job: Truth, justice, being the 'American way.'
Hey what is that sound I hear? Oh, that's just other nations laughing at us for telling them how to be morally superior.
I will laugh my ass of if Mueller does that. The Dems heads will explode in unison. It would be the end of his career as an Establishment POS that is for sure.
No comment.
The legal proceedings are often more complex, more nuance that debates in an "S-hole barroom", and often require a smattering of understanding of many aspects.
NOPE! NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Oh, Mueller carved it, served it up for all to read, unfortunately, too, many Americans can't.
