Great job. The USS John S. Mc Cain now got even more attention that without one of these childish Trump maneuvers. This is a beautiful example how the "Streisand effect" works. I love it.https://t.co/7Eid3cNPkj

You thought that it couldn’t get worse?

How low can they go?

It was "NOT AN UNREASONABLE THING” for advance team to ask to move USS John McCain ship out of sight from President Trump. pic.twitter.com/uU8O8mOt6O

In Germany we more and more tend to poke fun at our armed forces, but so far our soldiers didn't manage to entertain us with stories as weird as this grotesque McCain name hiding comedy. I never would have believed that something like this could happen in reality.

Whatever, the Streisand effect sometimes makes hidden things even more visible.

“There’s a Method Underlying What Appears to Be Trump-GOP Madness”

10/ They also can’t enact left wing policies of providing services to working people, because this, too, allows others to rise up and challenge them.

Funding infrastructure means less money to channel to the would-be oligarchs.

It also creates a stronger democracy.

Trump Hears Signals

Joe Bidan could have never made a deal this good pic.twitter.com/tjF5Sk7TZn

It is not this typo which tells us something about the IQ and the evilness of the present president of the USA. And the support which Trump gets tells us something about the character and the evilness of a large part of the citizens of the USA.

North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Bidan a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?

It looks like this tweet was replaced by the next tweet from @realDonaldTrump.

Ain't it a hoot when a murderous psychopath takes your side and joins you in fifth-grader level insults of people who've given far more of themselves to this country than you ever have or ever will?

Trump deleted his mind-bogglingly awful tweet supporting Kim Jong Un, but the internet always remembers.

RIP: Joe Bidan. We hardly knew ya.https://t.co/j5X8dZRAFy pic.twitter.com/i0VMtyMbnk

It’s incredibly chilling for the President of the United States to excuse the belligerent actions of a North Korean dictator who murdered American citizens while applauding attacks on Democratic opponents like “Joe Bidan” just before playing golf in Japan on Memorial Day weekend.

This is the typical result of @GOP control. They throw average Americans under the bus to boost their own wealth. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a trickle down benefit. pic.twitter.com/x9CnaljURV

Reading the Mueller Report

Teri Kanefield‘s blog posts on Reading the Mueller Report also are available as Tweets. At the end of each blog entry there is a linksto the related thread. Go there for the comments.

 

Part I: “A Sweeping and Systematic” Attack on America
The scope and scale of the Russian cyber attack on the U.S. was breath-taking and horrifying. From Special Counsel: “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.” …

Part II: Links Galore
While the Russian government was busy interfering in the presidential election in “sweeping and systematic fashion,” what were members of the Trump Campaign doing? …

Part III (was IV): Why More Crimes Weren’t Charged
Why weren’t more crimes charged from the behavior described in Vol. I? First reason: Special Counsel (SC) was not able to collect all the evidence for a variety of reasons (Mueller Report, page 10)…

Part IV (was IV-2): The June 9, 2016 Trump Tower Meeting
Why weren’t crimes charged as a result of the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower Meeting? We’ll begin with the “facts.” By “facts” I mean what the prosecutors have enough evidence to prove. …

Part V: Links but no “coordination”
All those links—but no “coordination.” How can that be? Mueller’s task was to determine whether there were “links and/or coordination” between the Trump Campaign and Russia. Mueller found links galore. …

Part VI: Barr v. Mueller
I wasn’t planning to write about Barr or anything extraneous to the Mueller Report as I march through my reading and analysis. But then I read Vol II (Obstruction) pages 1-2, and I have no choice. …

Part VII: Mueller Does IRAC
Vol. II lays out the factual findings from the Mueller investigation regarding obstruction of justice. A few comments about “facts” and “evidence.” Not all evidence is admissible in court. The rules of evidence are intended to screen out unreliable evidence …

Part VIII: Sometimes Lying and Obstructing is a Crime. Sometimes it isn’t.
It’s time for some Fun With Criminal Law. (That means more IRAC) Remember, IRAC is a method of legal analysis. …

Every American should read and/or listen to the redacted report. It's written in easy to understand language.

The https://t.co/4ncXmxvDVM version has no commentary and is read in neutral tones. Allows listener to draw own conclusions.
