So Mueller found multiple instances of collusion, just not criminal conspiracy.  And the only reason there wasn't was that the intermediary that Flynn and Trump sought between them and the Russions in order to steal emails didn't have the access he claimed he had.

And, btw, Barr's letter lied.

From the report:

A statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts.

Barr misrepresented the report.  And the media took it, hook line and sinker.

Initial jobless claims keep grinding lower and lower.

The last time this few Americans sought the help of government after losing a job was in November 1969. Initial Jobless Claims tumbled another 5K from the prior week's revised 197K to just 192K: the second consecutive sub-200K report in 50 years, and the lowest since September 1969.

All the serfs have jobs in Russia as well, comrade. Like here, those jobs don’t leave a worker with two potatoes to rub together.

Speaking of potatoes,

“We concluded that Congress can validly make obstruction-of-justice statutes applicable to corruptly motivated official acts of the President without impermissibly undermining his Article II functions...."     

As you and Oil have noted, there is evidence of corruptly motivated acts by 45.  That Trump was too incompetent to implement his corrupt intentions and get around his handlers is hardly the state of innocence that Barr presented. 

If the Trump/Barr tale of moral purity is correct, then how about those tax returns? 

Or the various cases that Mueller farmed out to multiple other branches of law enforcement? 

This is how autocratic rule works, folks.   It embeds like a tic in a fold area and  no matter what outrages and insults to democracy and rule of law (think Bolsonaro, but a touch more sugar coated), you find it bizarrely difficult to yank out of there.

That you think a tweet by the likes of Callahan is worth linking to kind of confirms (again) what I think of you.

Trump himself painstakingly told us that the government cooked the books with regard to unemployment figures.  Call me skeptical!

One thing that is funny about some conservatives who claim to hate socialism, they all support the military and the police and the firefighters, and they all support the defense corporations, etc, they all support socialist programs.

One old Republican I know worked for the government his whole life, and he claims to hate socialism. I told him that we cannot all work for the government, there has to be people who generate money to pay for the government, and he told me that yes we could all work for the government. And he claims to be a Republican.

Guys like me making movies and writing books and paying taxes is what pays for the government. Henry Ford exporting cars to Europe helped to pay for our government.

Sucking on the government tit, while claiming to hate socialism, is total hypocrisy.

And the government jobs made him a millionaire, and he has great health insurance for his whole family, and Corvettes, and a beautiful house with a swimming pool.

I am not perfect, and I have never been successful nor wealthy yet, my book has not been published yet, and my movie still needs to be made, but I do not go around kicking people when they are down, and I support fair pay and good treatment for workers, and I support helping the homeless, and I support feeding people who are hungry.

Yes, I support our military too, and police and firefighters and paramedics, and I support our defense companies and I know that we must have the best technology and best military in the world. And I support NASA. But, I never claimed to hate socialist programs.

And I support social programs such as the city of Anaheim owning the electric company and using some of the money from the bill payments of Disneyland and others to help the homeless, etc.

I believe that we are one big human family and that we all need to work together to help each other like the Bible says.

Salute,

Tony V.

I still think a huge issue is the Moscow Trump Tower deal.  Trump lied about not having business contacts with Russia, Putin and the Russkies knew the US President was lying, and therefore had something on him.  Trump was hoping to make well over $100M on such a Moscow deal, so was conciliatory towards Russia and constantly praised Putin.  Some underlings were even contemplating giving Putin a $50M bribe apartment gratis.  When US foreign policy is being run so that the President can cash in, that is Huge Corruption.  As well as letting a foreign enemy country have blackmail info on the President.

I know there's lots to muell over right now, but I wouldn't lose track of the Russian Trump Tower negotiations.

At least he's learning.
He's talked way too much on social media and just about every form of media there is...about time he kept quiet for a while and did more thinking...just talking thru media releases.

Guns are great.
…..for shooting home invaders!

https://www.foxnews.com/us/south-carolina-mother-of-3-shoots-home-invader-i-wouldve-killed-him-if-i-had-to

A South Carolina mother-of-three took action after she heard a man attempting to break into her home – and shot him.

Ashley Jones of Anderson County told FOX Carolina she heard someone banging at her door early on Thursday. The mother said she called 911 and got her gun. She said she saw a man banging at her door when she peered out the window.

“I yelled, 'I have a gun, I will shoot you, get away from my house,'” Jones said.
She said she used her gun after the intruder kicked her door in to come inside the home. Video surveillance outside her home captured the incident.

Obviously words are no good at repelling home invaders.
They only understand bullets.

Governor Gage is secretly ordered by the British to enforce the Coercive Acts and suppress "open rebellion" among colonists by using all necessary force.

April 18, 1775 - General Gage orders 700 British soldiers to Concord to destroy the colonists' weapons depot.

That night, Paul Revere and William Dawes are sent from Boston to warn colonists. Revere reaches Lexington about midnight and warns Sam Adams and John Hancock who are hiding out there.

At dawn on April 19 about 70 armed Massachusetts militiamen stand face to face on Lexington Green with the British advance guard. An unordered 'shot heard around the world' begins the American Revolution. A volley of British muskets followed by a charge with bayonets leaves eight Americans dead and ten wounded. The British regroup and head for the depot in Concord, destroying the colonists' weapons and supplies. At the North Bridge in Concord, a British platoon is attacked by militiamen, with 14 casualties.

British forces then begin a long retreat from Lexington back to Boston and are harassed and shot at all along the way by farmers and rebels and suffer over 250 casualties. News of the events at Lexington and Concord spreads like wildfire throughout the Colonies


Time to start the next Revolution.
