    What gives the news media the right to invade someone's privacy and personal space? Has the country become so embroiled in partisan politics that a prominent person in Washington D.C. can longer enjoy a meal at a restaurant, or attend church services without being accosted? On a personal note, I am way beyond disgust at the state of politics in this country, as well as the blatant dishonesty and antics of the news media!

    You write as if you've never seen people of the press being 'pushy'. You must be very young. :)

    When you choose to live off the taxpayers dime then you are fair game for the press.

    I have no respect for Mueller, since he did not, at the outset, dismiss this investigation which was so clearly frivolous; instead he let it drag on for years, which allowed the media to lie about it to fool the American people into thinking that their president was a traitor and that votes were changed. That left-wing media propaganda, fueled by the Mueller investigation, fooled stupid Americans into voting for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.

    I hope his life is a living hell for the rest of his days. He deserves it after the damage he did to this country.

    I am not a Trump supporter, but I agree with your post. Everyone, including politicians, should have personal privacy in church or in a restaurant. TV corporations and journalists are in competition to be first with the news, but that is no excuse for inappropriate harassment. Most churches and restaurants probably can not afford security for their patrons, so I don't have any answer for the problem. Perhaps you have more thoughts.

    He was outside walking to his car when first approached.

    I forgot to include in my post above that outside of the restaurant or church the president or politician is exposed to journalists. He can refuse to answer or cooperate it he feels that it is "private" time, but anyone is free to ask questions.

    You may not like Trump, but he was democratically elected. Mueller's prolonged investigation into this absurd charge of Trump-Russia collusion watered down the franchise of those Americans who voted for Trump, since it was used as fodder for yellow journalism propaganda, which deluded many Americans into thinking there was Trump-Russia collusion, which definitely was a factor in the Democrats taking back the House, which the Republicans controlled since 2010. The Mueller investigation was an attack on the electoral integrity of republicanism.

    You're describing the Barr report which was not the same as the Mueller report. The Mueller report has given enough ammo to the Dems that they will probably impeach the president.

    That's another reason why I think you Dems should not throw away your Mueller votive candles.

    He wrote the report in such a way that it gives fodder for the Democrat party to do that, even though the bottom-line conclusion is no collusion, the whole premise of the investigation. Impeachment will, of course, tear this county even further apart, but I think it will probably be at the Democrat party's peril. I'm not sure it is politically wise, which is why Pelosi, an idiot savant of politics, is being pragmatically prudent with regard to starting that process.

    I read an article the other day that suggested that the reason those under 30 overwhelmingly reject Republicans is because all they know about Republicans comes from Bush and Trump. Sorry if it hurts some old guys feelings, but the younger generation is significantly more intelligent than their grandparents, by like 10-20 points or so. When they look at Bush and Trump, they don't see a lot of intelligence, or compassion for their fellow man.

    Trump talking and acting like an idiot is what turns people off from him. That and his constant lying.

    In the 2018 election, the primary focus was on health care, something Republicans want to kill.

    Pelosi, being significantly more intelligent than Trump, knows that Trump is too valuable to impeach. Keep him around so that he, and the congressional Republicans who support him, can continue to show the world how goofy they are.

    In other words, the majority of the people without a fully developed prefrontal cortex, which is fundamental to complex cognitive behavior and decision making, overwhelmingly decided that they don't like Republicans.

    I'm sure you also think lowering the voting age to 16 would also be a terrific idea, yeah?

    What he deserves is to be investigated as a conspirator in the soft coup attempt to unseat a legally elected U.S. president; that's what he really d-e-s-e-r-v-e-s. It would be fascinating to watch him lose all his wealth by having to pay it to expensive attorneys and then go to prison for a . . . process . . . crime.

    I think fake news from the media surely had an impact in the 2018 election.

    In fact, in an NPR/Maris Poll, 1 in 3 Americans thought a foreign country would change their vote: https://www.npr.org/2018/09/17/6474...ink-foreign-country-will-change-midterm-votes

    Where did they get that impression from? That would be from the fake news propaganda from the left-wing media about the multi-year Mueller investigation. Where else would they get that impression? There was absolutely zero evidence that any votes were changed, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee's Russia report: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...russians-changed-vote-tallies-2016/592978002/

    Moreover, Deputy Attorney General of the United States Rod Rosenstein said there was not: https://www.c-span.org/video/?44840...gence-officers-indicted-dnc-hacking&start=623

    Hell, even James Clapper admits that: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katie...anged-votes-in-presidential-election-n2267531

    Yet, 1 in 3 stupid Americans thought their 2018 votes were gonna change. And which party do you think those stupid Americans voted for?

    ...

    It was the Democrat party, in case you were stumped.

    She being an idiot savant of political calculus, she knows better than to impeach Trump.

    Oh, my friend, that would be poetic justice!

    And not just him, but all of the Trump-hating Democrats that made up his team that financially ruined the lives of people that had nothing to do with the premise of the investigation. Let's see them get buried under a veritable mountain of lawyer fees, being financially sucked dry until they're crying to make a deal.

    Oh, sweet justice!

    Let's see how it feels when the shoe's on the other foot.

    I would love to know what the IQ is for Pelosi, Schumur, Omar and AOC is! I would bet money that they are significantly lower than our Founding Father's!

    The Mueller investigation was necessary and appropriate. There was definite indication of a foreign power interfering in our election, and I don't think that any congressional committee could be relied upon to do a proper investigation.

    The report confirms significant Russian interference. The Russian activities were apparently welcomed by Trump staff, but there was no proof of actual conspiracy. Mueller is a life-long Republican, and his staff was not a bunch of Democrats. These are facts. It is too bad that the facts do not conform to the preferences of some individuals. But, facts are facts, and we need to find explanations that fit the facts.

    I think that the Russians basically acted on their own. They wanted Trump to be elected, and they figured that Trump and his staff would accept their help and maybe provide some assistance. The Russians probably knew that they would be more efficient and effective on their own. Conspiring with the Trump campaign would only screw things up. So, we can drop the "collusion" bit, but there is ample reason to be critical of Trump and his staff.

    What you're implying is that every time there is a foreign government, or a foreign actor, that is somehow trying to manipulate our presidential elections, there should be a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar Special Counsel investigation that is launched against the president for half of his or her first term, having a negative effect on their party's midterm election outcome?

    Do you honestly think this is the first time that Russia or China or some other foreign power has tried to interfere in our election through social media? More than likely, ever since the advent of social media, and the Internet as a whole, foreign powers have been trying to manipulate our elections.

    If you honestly think that a Special Counsel investigation should be launched because of some troll farms creating propaganda in some foreign country that MAY have an impact on the election, then you're gonna be spending a lot of money, because it is always gonna happen.

    So you said that the Russian interference was "welcomed by Trump staff" and that Russia "wanted Trump to be elected." Well, if Russia wanted Trump elected, they did not make a good investment, as Trump has been harder on Russia than any post-Cold War president, speaking of "the facts [that] do not conform to the preferences of some individuals": https://www.npr.org/2018/07/20/630659379/is-trump-the-toughest-ever-on-russia

    In fact, according to Daniel Vajdich, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, reported in NPR, "When you actually look at the substance of what this administration has done, not the rhetoric but the substance, this administration has been much tougher on Russia than any in the post-Cold War era." Again, speaking of facts that "do not conform to the preferences of some individuals."

    Notice how that is not given much if any coverage in the left-wing media, such as CNN and MSNBC. My mother and sister are big anti-Trumpist; they also watch CNN all the time. And when I point out these facts, they looked dazed and confused. And given your rhetoric, this is probably news to you, too. Let me guess. You watch CNN and MSNBC, yeah?

    As for Robert Mueller being a "Republican," so what? George Conway is a "Republican." George Conway is a "conservative." There is an acronym that fits their characters: RINO. They are Republican In Name Only. A RINO, Mueller wanted, but could not find the grounds for, overturning a duly elected president. Because he could not find any proof of collusion or obstruction of justice, he wrote his report in such a way as to add fuel to the fire, so Congress can impeach Trump if they want to, and the American left-wing media can, as they have been doing for the last two years throughout this phony investigation, create misinformation, disinformation, and general hysteria from an investigation with a premise that was made out of whole cloth.

    The Press was probably inspired by their friends in Sri Lanka to attack on Easter Sunday.

    You have no respect for Mueller because he did not dismiss the investigation before investigating?

    I'm telling you! The arguments on the right get nuttier as they see their leader more and more nervous every day!

    Low IQ?
