    This does not agree with what Mueller said at all.

    Muellers words

    "If we felt confident the president didnt commit a crime, we would have said so" which, OBVIOUSLY, they didnt say.

    In economic terms I am doing okay, since I make more than enough money at present to combat Trumps disastrous policies. But its in spite of Trump. Not because of him.

    The country is in a dangerous place if Trumpists can convince people all they should care about is the economy while Individual 1 shreds the Constitution.

    Completely consistent. He found no evidence. His political statement was beneath the profession.

    This pious son-of-a-bitching draft dodger doesn't have the right to speak about the brave soldiers, sailors, and air men at Normandy. It makes me sick to listen to his phony words of solemnity about these heroes.

    At the age of 22, Donald J. Trump was the picture of health. He stood 6 feet 2 inches with an athletic build; had played football, tennis and squash; and was taking up golf. His medical history was unblemished, aside from a routine appendectomy when he was 10.

    But after he graduated from college in the spring of 1968, making him eligible to be drafted and sent to Vietnam, he received a diagnosis that would change his path: bone spurs in his heels.

    Now this deserter has the balls to speak over the graves of heroes who helped defeat another fascist.

    I plead guilty to getting a bit carried away with the above post, but Trump's visit to Normandy is tragic and embarrassing. He is embarrassing our country and every American who has or is serving.

    My parents were members of the Greatest Generation, and my father served during WWII. I served as Marine officer during the Vietnam War. To listen to this yellow belly draft dodger speak about our fallen heroes, to hear him repeat the words of a brilliant and brave President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, while he hid behind a friendly doctor's diagnosis -- a doctor bought and paid for -- makes me want to puke.

    Trump is mocking those currently serving our country. Trump is mocking our fallen heroes from WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, and the two Iraq wars.

    He found and pointed out lots of evidence of improper contacts by Trump associates and Russian crooks and people closely related to Russian intel. He just stated that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove conspiracy charges. (Read volume 1 of the OSC report)

    The OSC report also cites several instances of obstruction of justice committed by Trump himself. (Read volume 2 of the OSC). This whole pack of crap about complete exoneration, no collusion and no obstruction is just that BS....Trump, Barr, Sean Hannity and the rest of his fake news lackeys are not fooling any clear thinking people and the more evidence that keeps coming to light via congressional oversight the more people will realize that Trump is a sleazy lying crook.

    Speaking with white crosses in the background showing the graves of the fallen heroes -- https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-exclusive-trump-says-mueller-made-a-fool-of-himself -- Trump disgraced himself and every American by taking the opportunity to attack his political enemies. The narcissistic, vindictive, draft dodger just couldn't help himself.

    "He [Mueller] made such a fool out of himself -- because what people don’t report is the letter he had to do to straighten out his testimony because his testimony was wrong,” Trump told the Fox commentator. "But Nancy Pelosi, I call her nervous Nancy, Nancy Pelosi doesn't talk about it. Nancy Pelosi is a disaster, and let her do what she wants. You know what? I think they're in big trouble."

    As I said, he has made a mockery of the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The draft dodging coward thinks that is all very amusing.

    Let me see if I have this right. You have lost 20% of your savings because of Trump's tariffs, and that doesn't bother you?

    An ordinary person is bothered by the fact that they lost money in their retirement savings. The fact that you are not concerned makes you, well, extraordinary.

    Putting this in perspective, because we have been both lucky and prudent, since Trump became President we have managed to accumulate another approximate $5,000 in our IRA's, mutual funds, and savings. We lost some of that because of Trump's trade wars, but I am different from you. Once I get money placed in our savings I want to keep it, and, if we lose money because of our President, that tends to piss me off.

    But you are happy as a clam because you have more money than when Obama was President. That is strange, very strange.

    I think you said you voted for Trump.

    Reply from a Trump fan to the post above.

    Easy to see why he is one of Trump's fans. I not sure he even knows that the use of italics in this case means my source wrote that. I was mimicking the source.

    CNN reports, "Trump, who was still abroad following D-Day commemorations, faces a Friday deadline to sign an executive order to ensure the tariffs go into effect by Monday, his deadline for Mexico to meet his immigration demands or face a 5% tariff on all exports to the US.

    "White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a late Thursday afternoon statement that the US "position has not changed, and we are still moving forward with tariffs at this time.'"

    Gee, this is exciting. Of course, Trump will wait until the very last minute before he backs down.

    CNN added, "US officials, hoping to avoid a standoff with Republican lawmakers and the potential for economic disruption, were eager to reach an agreement.
    Trump administration officials indicated to CNN on Thursday that the negotiations were yielding progress. One senior administration official said the talks were headed in a "positive" direction, but declined to elaborate on the progress."

    Of course, they were making progress. Trump needs to stop this insanity tomorrow.

    You are not going to believe this. In the midst of all this, Trump threatens China with more tariffs. Trump said, without giving details, “I could go up another at least $300 billion and I’ll do that at the right time.”

    This is all a game to Trump. No doubt his dwindling number of fans are amused.

    Good Lord, what a pathetic President.

    Your sources suck....it's easy to see. Your persistent hatred of President Trump and the Americans that support him is obvious.
    We are all just satisfied to know that we....Supporters of President Trump....occupy a very large space in your mind. (in fact, there is not much room for anything else!

    What do you expect....you have worked to undermine him from the very beginning. Poor loser you are. What a pathetic American. Do the masses of entering invaders send a tingle up your spine?

    The President of the United States, in front the American war cemetery in Normandy, France where nearly 10,000 Americans are interred, decided to call Mueller "a fool." That's Robert Mueller, a Marine infantry platoon commander during the Vietnam War. The same Mueller who received a Bronze Star and a Navy Commendation Medal for his service. (Worth noting: Donald Trump never served in Vietnam; he received five deferments including one for bone spurs.) The same Mueller who served as the FBI director for a decade -- nominated to the job by a Republican president and a Democratic president. And the man who led a nearly two-year long investigation into Russia's active efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton.

    Trump added this: "Because what people don't report is the letter he had to do to straighten out his testimony because his testimony was wrong."

    I have no idea what Trump is talking about. I wonder if he does. Here are the facts Trump seemed unaware of in that alternate universe he lives in.

    1) There was no Mueller "testimony.'
    2) Mueller has never said anything publicly to suggest his report was "wrong."
    3) The letter Mueller has sent was to Barr taking issue with the how the AG's summary statement -- and subsequent media coverage -- described his findings. And to be clear, that letter didn't exonerate Trump in any way; Mueller was concerned Barr had glossed over the nuance of the potentially obstructive actions.

    Trump is a pathetic little man.

    Well, according to you, I got it all right again. You didn't question a thing.

    Thanks for the support.

    The Steel Dossier was Russian disinformation from the beginning. Yes.....they interfered with our election under Obama's watch. Hillary paid for it. All you have done is to distract from that reality. You run cover for them. Spying on American citizens is not good at all. Rand Paul predicted we would sell out American citizens when we expanded FISA warrants to combat terrorism. Obama and Hillary made it a reality and you run cover for them. I don't need to address a thing you say until you go back to 2016 and address the actions of the "deep state".

    You are probably not aware that since Mueller could not find evidence that he equivocated and put out a political statement.

    Now, Mueller himself said that he could not condemn someone without evidence, he did exactly that. So, is Mueller a liar?

    Dumb people think that a temporary dip in the Dow is all there is to the massive gain under Trump. I am still way, way ahead.

    No he is not. And Congress has every right to act on what he reported and decide what action, if any should be taken regarding the incidents of obstruction. Any action taken to prevent witnesses from testifying will be rightly seen as obstruction. I hope you enjoy the legal process.

    and it came back up a bit today. Investors hate the idea of anyone doing anything unless things are already going to bloody hell by which time it's too damn late. The dow goes up or down based on a lot of things but primarily whether or not the investing class thinks it can make money.
