"Nah, nah, nah... I'm not paying any attention to the Mueller report!"

LOL

LOL indeed.

You still cannot figure out how to use the quote system.

You have nothing substantive to say in support of the so-called president, but refuse to address the findings honestly.

So, whatever you can find to talk about otherwise, you are talking about.

You are an amoral hypocrite who lies, denies, and obfuscates.

Still.

'Them' [the bad people]....and 'Us' [the good people']

As Ward would say, "LOL!"

You are a lot of things, but "good people" is not among them.

Voters in Canada's Alberta Province tossed out its premier Rachel Motley whose ultra liberal party  had imposed a carbon tax.
That was not a shock in the oil capital of the country but the size of the defeat was, the conservatives wound up with  63 seats in the provincial government leaving the liberals with just 23.
The rallying cry against the carbon tax was " ECONOMIC PAIN WITH NO ENVIRONMENTAL GAIN!"

Squirrel! Or I guess, Beaver!

The scorecard for Carbon taxes at the voting booths is not very good.
Australian voters reload one.
France had to suspend increases in fuel taxes after protests
In Washington State voters twice have defeated calls for the tax
And Maine legislators called off a statewide vote that was certain to lose.

The climate chicken littles get a lot of headlines, but they have yet to convince many voters.

Scientific facts does not rely on the popular vote.

Unfortunately.

Tell that to the voters.

Enjoy your bomb cyclones and the northern migration of big old crocs and gators. And the deer ticks, may the good lord bless you with millions of deer ticks.

Signs and wonders all.

The report reads yes on espionage conspiracy and yes on obstruction with the obstruction making the espionage conspiracy harder to prove.

The GOP as a criminal organization is going all out to protect its weakest link.

Have to disagree.

Their lack of integrity is their weakest link.

And they are doing nothing to protect it, just to project it.

Too true.

It’s been happening for a while and it carries on murking it’s corruption through the system.

Here’s a slice of Senatorial slime from the crime and ignorance party

It has nothing to do with Trump.  It is about the absolute stupidity of the democrats.

A story for Bambi to be proud of:

Better deport the family! Their kid has cystic fibrosis.

A story for Bambi to be proud of:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-18/irish-family-deportation-likely-as-son-has-cystic-fibrosis/11028560

Better deport the family! Their kid has cystic fibrosis.

Rolled the dice...and lost.
Should've applied for permanent residency or Australian citizenship before having a baby.
No 'anchor babies' downunder.

•Anthony and Christine Hyde arrived in 2009 on working holiday visas
•In 2015, they had baby Darragh who has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
•The family cannot get permanent residency because their son would be a burden to taxpayers

Ms Hyde is a teacher at Broadford Primary School and her husband, Anthony, works for SkyBus and volunteers for the SES.

"I've got Australian skills, they would take three months just to be assessed," she said.
"I'm just terrified of getting on the plane and having nothing — no home, no car, no rent, nothing."

Federal Member for McEwen, Rob Mitchell, urged the Department of Home Affairs to recognise the contribution the Hyde family had made to the community.
"Teachers like Christine are among the most valuable members of the Australian community, charged with a huge responsibility," he said.

"I believe Christine's abilities and talents in supporting the Australian children with special needs far outweigh the possible cost of care to Australia for her young son.
"I believe that the contribution Christine makes to our community is significant and the refusal of the visa would further disadvantage some of our most vulnerable children."

Given all that, I'd let them stay...give them permanent residency.

'SES' = State Emergency Services. They're the guy and gal volunteers who climb around on people's rooves in storms putting tarps on them to stop them flooding. Rescuing people in flood zones etc. Chopping up fallen trees in the rain etc...while I'm tucked up in bed.

Good family, in a 'pickle', so to speak.

They could take the places of some of the scumbag pedophiles, thugs, and gangsters who are being booted out.

Three bad people depart, 3 good people get to stay...the country is better off.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/18/media/sarah-sanders-misleading-statements/index.html

Sarah Huckabee Sanders really does belong in this administration! She lies for no good reason, making shit up out of the blue, just like her boss, the president.

Robert Mueller's report confirms that Sanders simply made it up when she said that "countless" FBI agents had told her that they were thankful Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey.

Sanders made similar claims multiple times on two different days. Yet she told Mueller's office in an interview that she merely made a "slip of the tongue."

According to Mueller's report, "she also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made 'in the heat of the moment' that was not founded on anything."

"Fake news," indeed, Sarah.

What else has she said "in the heat of the moment" that was pure invention on her part? We may never know.

Hey, Ward - you could do that job!

[josh]

Robert Mueller "established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts."

That means that only one of these was a false alarm:
RUSSIA!
COLLUSION!
OBSTRUCTION!
CONSPIRACY!
RECESSION!
COVERUP

The rest of them are true, plain and simple.

The case for Russia's tampering with our election is provided.
The case for collusion is provided.
The case for obstruction of justice by the president is provided, underscored, and highlighted.
The case for conspiracy is provided.
The case for coverup is ongoing.

The only people who can't or won't come to grips with the truth are people like Ward and Kiiid.

I doubt that anything will come of an effort to impeach him, based on the current circumstance, despite the facts that Trump has broken the law in a bunch of ways - proven facts. OTOH, there are ongoing investigations; perhaps more will come out.

The GOP's amoral double standards are illustrated yet again.
