The Morning Rant

"Now that the 'Russian collusion' narrative has collapsed like a soggy soufflé, the question is now, what's next for the Democrats? How will they go after Trump now? Will they pivot back to accusing him of being insane? Of watching the Gorilla Channel all day (and hey, why is that a bad thing?) There's been some talk of going after his kids for whatever. I don't think there's anything that would be off limits now. There is nothing too sleazy, too dishonest, or too preposterous for the Democrats to try. Perhaps they will fixate on Trump's tax returns. I'm not sure what they think they'll find, maybe they're hoping they'll discover more payouts to hitherto unknown hotties, I don't know. But as usual, their priorities are bass-ackwards. We shouldn't care much about a billionaire who became a politician than we should about a whole bunch of politicians who are now millionaires."

All Together Now, Let's Move Those Goalposts:

That the president of the United States owes his office to Russian help is not a theory. It's a matter of record. What we're waiting for Mueller to clarify is how much the president and his team knew about that Russian help before it was delivered. https://t.co/oGR2wvRkDd

trump is a racist, corrupt bigot who molests women, is bad at his job and should be removed from office. and you don't need the mueller report to know any of that.

The right is gloating about the Mueller report. Do they know if it says Russia tampered with our elections???? Or do they ONLY care about protecting Donald Trump? If it proves Russia tampered, will they be ok with Donald cozying up to Putin?

Final thought: The awfulness of Donald Trump isn’t what he might have done in secret. It’s what he does in full public view, every damn day. Now have a great weekend.

Let me be clear before we find out what’s in #MuellerReport, my contention has been that the collusion was after the election. I’ve said countless times that I don’t care about tweets sent during election. Hope Mueller investigated connections to Russia before & after election.
