Someone call Buzzfeed. A very reliable source send me the draft of Muellers conclusions regarding the investigation into the Trump campaign.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote
To: Mr. Barr

Hereby I share with you my findings regarding the special investigation into the 2016 Presidential Campaign of DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT and affiliates.

In conclusion it is our understanding that had Ms. Clinton visited Wisconson, Michigan and Ohio more often she would now be the President instead of Donald J. Trump.
We furthermore conclude that years of bad reality TV programming has damaged the average American mind to a level that they can no longer accurately participate in Democracy.

We recommend:
- To arrest Hillary Clinton for bringing this catastrophy upon us before she decides to run again in 2020 and history repeats itself
- To ban all reality TV, social-media and outlaw 24/7 news broadcasts
- To apologize to Vladmir V. Putin the Russian head of state
- To remove the current President of the United States DONALD J. TRUMP from the White House before people get hurt (note: a trail of hamburgers might work)
- To abolish congress and outlaw democracy and appoint JEB BUSH as SUPREME CHANCELLOR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Sincerely,

ROBERT S MUELLER III - SPECIAL COUNSEL

P.S. Bernie would have won

It comes from the same reliable information brokers that provided me with:
- The first screenshots of Excite Bots
- A fully leaked Nintendo Direct folder list on a photograph taken at one of the Nintendo of Europe offices

That does not make them competent journalists, though.

No, it makes Jason the sort of journalist you don’t jump at trusting before everyone else gets a shot at corroborating imo. He’s clearly sloppy at times and will run with stories others don’t feel confident in doing so...clearly sometimes for good reason. He’s also done a lot of reporting that has been downright great, so be cautious, but not dismissive seems wise.

And to be clear, we also don’t exactly know what the Special Counsel is contesting? Some deviation in the details or the entire arc?

And as a side note, we also already know that Trump has suborned perjury on several occasions. Most notably directing his son in written documents to lie to congress. Which Marcy Wheeer was pointing out again last night.

The coverage is fine. Calling it a Nazi rally is a bit much and I think desensitizes people to actual Nazi's, however the people at the rally are dumb fuck asshole cacs that deserve to be mocked and disgraced in a civil manner. Which is exactly what's happening. They made their plot. Yes there's hyperbole, but that's just the sjw leftist tent who should always be ignored anyways because they belong in an institution. But many are rightfully criticizing them that aren't insane people who think is in any shape or form an indictment on an generation of youth or that they're even Nazi's. The extreme left that you see at ResetEra or something aren't an indication of anything, will never be relevant, and should be safely ignored. The rest of us will stick our noses out at and dismiss this cruel act of bigotry for what it is and nothing beyond that besides a wide, sweeping denial of Trumpism.

nah, you're obviously defending them

the whole point of your post was to lie about the reaction so you could make it seem like a moral panic and paint the white kids as the real victims

in fact you're still doing that

Just to clarify for anyone else who reads it too quickly, there's pretty much a meme among the immigration restrictionists in which they talk about the European settlers as a wave of "uncontrolled immigration" like we're supposedly currently experiencing. Ignoring of course that the population of all people living within the area of the current United States did not crack 50 million until the 1880s.

In any case, they point to the Native Americans/First Nations lack of immigration controls and processing system as proof of the danger of what will happen to the people who currently live here.

Build the Wall so that attendance of students at the school (It's South Gate, which if I had to take a guess may be 90% Hispanic after the white flight in the 70s and 80s), plummets and all the teachers lose their jobs.

It's not supposed to make sense.

A senator from Georgia said on the Senate floor this week that he fears the government shutdown could affect his hometown of Atlanta and its plans for the Super Bowl.

“We’ve got a Super Bowl coming to Atlanta, Ga, in about three weeks. The biggest tourism event in the world this year, ” Sen. Johnny Isakson (R., Ga.) was reported by AJC.com as saying on the Senate floor this week. “What if the largest airport in the world, that’s going to bring people to the largest football game in the world, goes out of business because of TSA strikes?

“Then you’ve just cost millions of dollars to the United States of America, my home city of Atlanta and others.”

According to Reuters, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport expects more than 125,000 passengers during the Super Bowl rush on top of the usual 270,000 that pass through daily.

Security lines are reported to already be as long as three hours at Hartsfield.

I think I'm triggered by "A senator from Georgia said on the Senate floor" and the fact that they don't name him until the middle of the second "paragraph" along with repeating the "as saying on the Senate floor" part. So how do I report Barry Werner for a hate crime?

"We must secure the existence of rich Catholic school students and protect antiabortion protesters." - Nintex
Ok I'll play. What's the alternative or what would President Mandark do?

A society will always have some racist elements or idiots. Unless you want to start a massive cleansing campaign.

If, like some on the left believe every Trump voter was a Nazi, you'd have approx. 60 million Nazi's within the borders of the US.
You wouldn't have this conversation if that was true.

The last thing any Nazi would do is *checks notes* shut down the government.
