Neverending Nightmare
Dr. Fauci might want to work on his bedside manner: Fauci: COVID-19 is "almost your worst nightmare" Oy. Can we go back to being told that one day it will just disappear, as if by magic? His rationale: "It's the perfect storm," Fauci says. "We often talk about outbreaks and pandemics, be they in...

We'll Never Have Paris
Jonathan Adler, one of The Few, The Proud, the Green Right-wingers, describes a market-oriented agenda to grapple with climate change. He has a companion piece in the LA Times. This triggers a flashback to my post last August, when Politico and the NY Times were describing an emergence of Green ...

Ready For Some Football!
Kicking off the weekend. Yankees rule later today. In other news, these Admin texts about Ukraine seem deeply problematic. I guess the White House spin is that the Burisma-Biden connection represented 2016 election interference by Team Obama since it quashed potentially embarrassing headlines ab...
I'd say encouraging Nancy's impeachment hoax is more than "the slightest criticism". No reason to tolerate that IMO.

AG Barr In The WSJ
AG Barr talks with the WSJ about his concerns regarding the Obama investigation of the Trump campaign. The article seems to have escaped the paywall.
Morning TK.
Saturday Morning
Away we go again!

It's The Economy, Stupid
With the recent 3.2% GDP report and now this jobs number (AND rising productivity!) Trump has the economy as a powerful tailwind. MSNBC and CNN are scrambling for Resistance econometricians whose model predicts a Trump defeat in 2020. Obviously Trump is a bit different from conventional politici...
Mueller likely simply wanted to put on the record those actions and events that could be interpreted as obstruction ... by other parties willing to view them as guided by corrupt attempt to impede the witch hunt and impeach the president on those grounds.

Not a bad question.
How's this, Mueller didn't want a ruling on the goofy interpretation of the obscure obstruction statute, he just wants to put enough in the record so that dimorats have something to use for impeachment.

The team summaries and letter written and published under Mueller's watch can be attributed to Mueller by any reasonable standard.

Deal?
No. The evidence against Mueller and his troops is very persuasive.
Even if Revenant's scenario is complete speculation it fits the known events far better than 4D, which is and has always been complete speculation.

Dershowitz: https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/439647-alan-dershowitz-who-won-who-lost-in-mueller-report?amp Mueller takes the view that a constitutionally authorized act can be turned into a crime if it is improperly motivated.
Mueller's view is extreme and dangerous to civil liberties because it creates pure thought crimes. According to Mueller, the corrupt motive is the crime because surely the constitutionally authorized act cannot be criminal. The implications of this view for all Americans are frightening.Yes, sure thought crime yada yada ...
What isn't these days?
The real problem I see ...
Take a hypothetical situation where one party conspires to concoct fake "evidence" against their political opponent to trigger a special prosecutor.
Let's imagine the special prosecutor is a thorough hard ass with impeccable integrity.
The innocent president objects, accuses, and even fires one of the conspirators who is exceeding and abusing their authority to undermine the president.
The Mueller standard is that would be obstruction since any reasonable person would infer the president is to some degree, guilty or not, acting in self defense.
Doesn't that imply it would be better for 10 innocent presidents be destroyed than for a single prosecutor to be opposed in any way?
Hmmm? I think it does.

Well to be fair the ledge reminds me of the Restaurant at the End of Time, the Universe, and Everything.
Also a bit like the kids who no longer believe in Santa Clause making fun of the ones who still do.
The ledge does not bother me but the hostility level sometimes does.
Down In Venezuela
There may or may not be an uprising or coup taking place in Venezuela. CNN has been taken off the air down there. The NY Times has coverage.
It can't happen here though ... right?

I Don't Like Mondays
Another synagogue shooting. Reality is kind of beat right now. I'd rather noodle over The Avengers, or Game of Thrones, or whether the Good Celtics can continue to contain the Freak, or the success of the Yankee Triple-A lineup - escapism, basically.
Well events have taken a more optimistic turn lately maybe the ledge folk want to hedge their bets. At least they're not trying to have it both ways no matter what happens like those deplorable 4D trogs.

Perhaps the subject needed some clarity after TR and TK muddied the issue before apparently (?) agreeing that Rush paraphrased the caller and conditionally affirmed it.
The "Yes You DID!" ... "No I Didn't" act doesn't seem to work well in a finder of fact sense.

Elizabeth Warren's Latest Worst Idea Yet
What America needs to do to spark the economy and restore social justice is subsidize its college graduates and the schools that churned them out. Or so says Elizabeth Warren, who wants to spend $640 billion on debt relief for folks who owe money on student loans, and another $585 billion on fre...
Physics joke:
Well my undergrad was physics so I got it ...
But it's pure Doppler because relativity would make the car going away just as short as the car coming but it would still be red.
Probably wouldn't have made the joke any easier to get.
As I Trudge Through The Mueller Report...
As I page through the Mueller report I cannot shake an alternative script: The DNC learns they've been hacked, probably by the Russians. Embarrassment looms! Unless... what if, suggests some bright light at Democratic or Hillary headquarters, we can link the Russian hackers to the Trump campaign...

That CBS thing on the Mueller Investigation is a Putin Red Scare + Smear Job against anyone who worked with Trump. Based on a 10 seconds spot check before wanting to barf.
Obama ... saint.
Flynn, Trump, Putin ... evil.
The rest of the 59 minutes and 50 seconds I can only imagine.
