as i read the mueller report, which will take me awhile, what once was just a curious question in my mind is now in black and white in evidence and hits me in the face; why would ANYONE campaigning for president of the united states honestly, with no ulterior motives, hire so many people associated with russia on their campaign to head and be instrumental players? unbelievable as you read, papadopoulous, lewandowski, manafort, flynn, etc. etc. etc. no, maybe the fools didn't actually collude, but they allowed it and turned the other way. it's like witnessing a murder take place, seeing who committed it, and keeping quiet because you hated that guy and your life will be better without him . by your silence, are you not complicit in the crime? this report makes it very clear that congress must move to impeach this mob president before he does something out of spite or in anger that we will not be able to recover from.

Since Russia now owns the NRA, it's only fitting that Trump would be speaking at an NRA event. Trump received a record amount of money from the NRA for his 2016 campaign. It was Russian money that was funneled through the NRA. Trump is hoping to break that record for his 2020 campaign.

Mitch McConnell needs to 'move on'.

Trumps crimes make Watergate look like a library fine.

We need a president who can also be a role model to our kids. Not to be worried he'll say something sick and off-the-wall in the presence of young impressionable minds.

A bunch of grotesque clowns freaks in this WH. About time to demand a refund.

I Know A Lot Of 'News' Is... Well Questionable, To Say The Least. But I Feel MSNBC ... Trustworthy

[myralhf]

Impeach to not allow this to happen again. A bad episode of VEEP...good one!

[brightonbabe]

I’m reading the report and am astounded. I saw some of this obstruction in plane sight but what is in the report is hugely more. Please take your time to read it for yourself.

Why do so many look to Mueller to pass judgement? His mandate was to investigate and he did that very well. Expect Congress to fumble the ball.

[lexas]

Look, President Trump, look at the shiny keys, look they make a jingling sound....

Nixon will be the only one benefiting from this nightmare.

We're living in a real Nanny State: BABY DONALD sitting in his sodden and soiled nappies while his caretakers cajole and soothe their bratty charge.

We really don't want to give credit to the "adults in the room" who are thwarting Trump and protecting America from his most ham-fisted impulses. We don't. But we should. I don't care if they had Hugo Boss dreams when they joined Team Trump, or if they were GOP loyalists looking to play him on behalf of traditional RW donors... if at some point they saw the light and grew a conscience, I say "thanks for your patriotism".

[johnnypena]

Move on, sweep everything under the rug. Sorry that’s not how things work. Eventually you’ll see a bump on the rug. 😄

Kentucky - please vote Mitch McConnell OUT. Thanks in advance.
