Is there any reason not to impeach ? I don't buy that it would somehow help Trump with voters at large and I think you can both campaign on the issues and entangle him in proceedings.

they could impeach him, but they will never get 2/3 of the senate vote to remove him. Pelosi signaled that she is not interested in impeachment.

[Nintex]

They won't impeach him because if Trump is gone Pence is in. 

I like how specifically stuff Trump said in the report isn't redacted but some of the stuff surrounding it is.
Also at first you think that Don Jr. is the comedic relief character but soon you realize that part goes to Kushner.

Removal is not necessary. It's a given that more damaging stuff and financial crimes suspicions will keep trickling down from the host of other investigations. Keep the spotlight on the fact he's a crook, have the House then the Senate keep asking inconvenient questions. Force Republicans in Senate to publicly vote for not removing him. Have the Presidential candidates work on issues and policies in the meantime.

The GOP would not hesitate a second to do so, on far more flimsier pretexts.

I think it's the right thing to do, on principle and out of interest.

Impeach for what?

Filler:

While the report does not find that the president or his campaign aides had committed any crimes in their contacts with Russians, it lays bare how Mr. Trump was elected with the help of a foreign power. When a federal inquiry was started to investigate the Russian effort, he took numerous steps to try to undermine it.

The special counsel found that Mr. Trump had the authority to make many of his most controversial decisions, including the firing of James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, by virtue of the powers the Constitution grants him. At the same time, it is a far more damning portrayal of his behavior than the one presented last month in a four-page letter released by Attorney General William P. Barr.

“The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the president sought to use his official power outside of usual channels,” the report said. “These actions ranged from efforts to remove the special counsel and to reverse the effect of the attorney general’s recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony. Viewing the acts collectively can help to illuminate their significance.”

In his letter, Mr. Barr announced that — while Mr. Mueller had made no judgment about whether Mr. Trump had obstructed justice — he had decided that the president had not.

Why do you let filler get to you. It's like getting beat up by a five year old.

[EightBitNate]

[VomKriege]

Impeach for what?

Obstruction.
There's enough for it. The report is more or less saying that potential obstruction may have hindered the investigation on the contacts with Russian parties.

I completely agree. Reminder that they *did* impeach Bill Clinton for basically nothing. Trump's plethora of very real crimes are on a completely different level, and he needs to be impeached as a matter of principle. Not impeaching him just shows that laws no longer have any meaning and that nothing matters.

But when the Mueller report arrived on Thursday morning, it contained none of the bombshell, global pedophile cabal-destroying revelations QAnon fans had predicted. Instead, it detailed the a Russian campaign of electoral subterfuge that benefit Trump’s election efforts along with repeated attempts by the president to impede investigations into his conduct.

Unhappy QAnon believers were left to grapple with the letdown. As the report’s lack of QAnon proofs became clear, the Patriots’ Soapbox livestream quickly moved on to other topics like human trafficking. The channel’s viewers weren’t fooled, though. The comment section quickly filled up with disappointed QAnon fans.

On Voat, a Reddit-style forum alternative popular with QAnon fans, believers lamented the fact that they had been duped again.

“Trump is toast,” said one poster who said he wouldn’t vote in 2020 after the disappointment. “Lied to us to extend his re-election. Good luck Q peeps. I'm done here.”

While QAnon believers grappled with what the Mueller report actually meant, the movement’s foes—including those in Trumpworld—took the opportunity to gloat. Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka, whose frequent attacks on QAnon have made him a top enemy of Q-heads, took to Twitter on Thursday to urge QAnon believers to “#LeaveTheCult.”

Agreed. The report spells out pretty plainly that they weren’t able to fully recreate the events of 2016 because of obstruction from Trump himself coordinated among members of the campaign and administration.

Basically the lack of further indictments could be because many people toed the line for crimes without crossing over... or that the obstruction was successful.

[Mandark]

pretty generous to use the phrase "detained" rather than "kidnapped" in that case

[shosta]

Lately I have been thinking about how we have hundreds of right wing militia groups but next to no left wing militia members in the United States to protect minority rights and vulnerable immigrant communities. Now there's extralegal paramilitary action rounding people up and I feel even more strongly about this.

I am actually very nervous about how Trump may respond. Without straying too far into the hypothetical, just imagine if he expressed support for this or encouraged other people to indulge in their frustrations over legal challenges to the "immigration crisis".

Look at this shit and tell me fifty years from now your grandkids won't be asking you why just let it happen.

Everyone else:

The Nazi clowns, big difference between the Nazi's and the Nazi clowns or crypto fascists or nihilists or HonkHonklers or whatever you want to call them. They're basically the same group.


Don't believe the people that told you
- Iraq has WMD's
- The markets won't crash
- Hillary Clinton will win
- The o.k. handsignal is the new Hitler salute
- The Last Jedi is a good movie
- Trump colluded with Russia

Seth is currently drafting tweet 331 as the CNN brokens grasp at straws.

It's kinda funny, this report would've been enough to badly damage 'any' President if they hadn't run the collusion circus for the past 2 years.
There's some shocking stuff in there but not the ludicrous thing we were told(or rather brainwashed to believe) would be in there (Trump being controlled like a puppet from the Kremlin).
All their reporting did was give Trump the narrative he needs to claim this clusterfuck as a win.

They have this 400 page piece of evidence that shows that the Trump campaign and the people calling the shots such as Don Jr. and Jared Kushner are fucking stupid.
Plus that half of the 'orders' Trump barks out aren't followed up on and he's just winging this entire 'president' thing. And everyone is basically willing to go on the record to testify how much of a shit show it is and was.
In fact, no attempt is made to redact his comments on the events as they happened.

Yet, they can't hit him over the head with this because they started to believe in their own Russian collusion story and everything less is now "is that all you got?".
You'd think that the media would sit back, breathe and try something else but no, now Barr has 'misled' everyone and perhaps Mueller was in on the cover up.

Both online and offline I could never get an answer to these questions:
1) Why would Putin risk his entire spy operation (which seems pretty elaborate) on a 99:1 longshot like the election of Donald Trump.
2) If you started such a manchurian candidate scheme, why would you pick Trump as your puppet. He's literally the least loyal and disciplined candidate you can think of. Had Trump been working with the Russians he would've already told everyone by accident around July 2016. Not to mention that if he actually had Russian prostitutes piss on Obama's bed he would've carried the tape around like a badge of honor and told all his weird fucking friends about it. 

But I suppose CNN had the 'facts' right?

The DNC having shitty security protocols is so dumb.

It's sad because the Sanders campaign was like "fix your shit" and they turned it into a "oh they benji doxxing us" thing.

The hilldawg campaign had people like eric schmidt as advisors. Maybe if they weren't worried about the logistics of breaking literal glass ceiling and balloon drops they might have realized oh shit, somethings happening.
