Umm hey assholes, do I have to fucking spell out everything for you? What is taking you so god damned long?
We're going to take this under consideration. There's no need to rush to judgement here. Excuse me while I go shit in my hand and throw it at the wall. Woooooooo we're bad at this!
Considering every thing he has said to this point about not having anything to say beyond the report, I strongly suspect that there will be nothing newsworthy from Mueller.Should be a newsworthy day.

Mueller testifies and our governor is rumored to finally announce his resignation today after 2 weeks of historic protests.
Should be a newsworthy day.
Trump will never be indicted. If he loses in 2020, he's going to threaten to refuse to leave, and the Democrats will negotiate a deal with him where they agree not to charge him if he leaves office peacefully.
It’s sad because it’s probably gonna be true
Or Trump steps down and Pence takes care of him
Nah.Trump will never be indicted. If he loses in 2020, he's going to threaten to refuse to leave, and the Democrats will negotiate a deal with him where they agree not to charge him if he leaves office peacefully.
there has to be at least some kind of indictment or charges laid before a pardon can be issued though, right? how can you legally pardon someone who hasn't (yet) been legally accused of anything? i don't see what's stopping prosecutors from just waiting until february before going after him.
That's correct.So the media’s take (or some of it) wasn’t the substance of Mueller testimony, it was that he wasn’t entertaining enough ?
Pelosi still a no go on opening impeachment hearings

In Ex parte Garland , the Supreme Court settled the question of preemptive pardons. The justices in that 1866 case decided that while pardons could reach only past acts, the pardon “may be exercised at any time after [the act’s] commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency or after conviction and judgment.”
Even before Garland, President Abraham Lincoln (among others) pardoned dozens of people — including alleged traitors — preemptively. More recently, President Jimmy Carter pardoned hundreds of thousands of Vietnam draft evaders, including those who had not been charged or convicted. And, most famously, President Gerald Ford pardoned President Richard Nixon, who had not yet been charged with anything.
POTUS 46 Pence is so totally pardoning POTUS 45 Shitbrick in December if Shitbrick loses.
we need to be looking at candidates who can specifically flip MI, WI, and PA. that's really the only thing that matters moving forward from yesterday.
who can do it?
I think that it's a massive mistake to view Trump's victory there as anything but an aberration, a freak incident where literally everything that could go wrong for HRD did go wrong and everything that could go right for Orange went right. I don't even think it matters whom the Democrats nominate, MI and PA are not going to vote for Trump again. Wisconsin I have less faith in.
The constant obsession with these 3 states dooms the Democrats to thinking that ONLY a Biden can win, which frankly, is a depressing and IMO, losing proposition.
