Nah any interesting bits will be redacted and then we just get strung along again. Shows starting to get old.

Thursday’s report is just going to really upset me and for my own mental health I need to check out for a while. I fought hard and I know this is what they want, but I can’t do it anymore. I won’t be following the thread for a while and appreciate everything everyone’s done here the last few years.

The complete and total destruction of our democracy is appalling to me. What constantly gets me is how little other people are aware of and how little they care.

It’ll take some big disaster to wake people up. If the economy were bad there’d be riots in the streets (i’d hope). That’s what really saddens me about this country. The awvals of the world being totally okay genociding some browns as long as they get a few extra bucks a paycheck. Or the inso’s of the world that seem to take genuine delight in it as long as it upsets the soyboy cucks. It seriously makes me nauseous to think about the scope of it and how many genuinely ****ty people exist in this country.

So, sorry. It’ll hopefully just be a month or two but I honestly don’t know.

In closing, get ****ed awval and inso and anyone else that voted for this clown. Burn in hell forever and I truly mean it.

tldr;

I'm sure you're not taking my shots at golf as serious shots at you or other golfers. Of course I do think golf is particularly bad in a lot of ways and golfers generally annoying on average and I think it's incredibly boring, but to each their own.

sounds like golf may be

My handicap deteriorated from 7 to 12 between the ages of 18 and 28 and has stayed there for almost 10 years since.

There's really no benefit to any of us staying super involved with everything, the Senate is protecting Trump and no matter how much awful **** comes out in the redacted report they're going to keep protecting him.

You would think wouldn’t you...

Did you forget the part of your hippie arts education where you learn not to confuse what the author says with the author’s views? Particularly when they are summarizing someone else’s post?

“We”?

Nothing is going to come out. Jmakin is right. Thursday will just be another notch in our "lets destroy our democracy" belt.

Good luck J. Keep fighting the good fight even if it isnt here.

I’m not even going to follow the report release or headlines or media hot takes - I’ve finally learned.

It’s this simple: Bill Barr isn’t going to release anything that would actually hurt the president, end of story.

The only way this nightmare ends is winning elections. That’s it.

Yep, just dropping all pretense.

Yeah; Barr is 100% in Trump’s court

Elections are what matter

Beyond that, the only hope is state investigations like NY looking into dissolving the Trump Org but trying to get any evidence or have anybody fulfill a subpoena is gonna be very difficult without years of court battle, which brings us back to next year’s election again as the remedy

Not new, but on topic:

Bill Barr To Become Caporegime With Own Family Within Trump Crime Family
Daughter and son-in-law to take key positions protecting Trump from ever facing justice.

Like, the only reason Nixon got booted was that he tried to put in a loyal partisan hack as AG and Congress said “nope.” Trump did this and succeeded, with members of the opposition party completely on board.

And don’t say Nixon went down because there were tapes. We’ve got plenty of tape on Trump.

How is Barr going to ensure that Mueller and his team of killers play along with his scheme?

What can they do that would possibly concern Barr?

even more bat**** than ‘we’ is basically saying Fox News of all things hired an audience to promote an honest to god socialist running for president

This guy is straight up insane

I think the Watergate tapes definitely moved the needle, but I think Dave Weigel has a correct take: that the working model for presidential scandals should be Iran-Contra and Whitewater and not Watergate. In both cases the POTUS very clearly committed impeachable offenses but still stayed in office because they were able to work the refs and delegitimize the investigation.

I think without the Watergate tape, Nixon would have pulled a Reagan “I don’t recall” play and would have had enough plausible deniability to stay in office.

Dunder Jeep!

I'm going to at least skim the whole four ****ing hundred pages. After almost four years of speculation, there will be some concrete facts. "Nothing matters," "waaf" is bull****.

Even if Mueller and Co were to publicly contradict anything Barr or Trump says, which is very unlikely, both because Barr probably didn’t say anything that was black and white wrong and because they seem like people who adhere to conventional morals and whatnot, they’ve got like zero leverage now. Here’s how it goes:

Mueller: AG Bart has willfully misrepresented the conclusions of our report.

Trump: MADMAN Mueller spies on me for two years and couldn’t find anything! Now he’s saying the exact opposite of what HiS OWN report says. Crazy!!

Mueller: Here are some general examples and documents I’m talking about, but I will never release them or specify because that is possibly illegal.

Trump: Turns out Mueller was the biggest leaker of them all. They can’t do things according to the law, so now they’re using FAKE News to smear me again.

Voters: maybe next years tax cut will be even bigger.

They can say that some of the redactions are inappropriate and hide important information. Mueller and his team supposedly helped in the redactions, and if Barr redacts some additional stuff that Mueller or his team think is important to make public I don't see what would stop them from saying so. I suspect that Mueller or his team making statements like that would attract some media attention.
