Everything we all learned in school is bull****. There is absolutely no penalty for lying and cheating and stealing. “Go vote then” is a wholly unsatisfactory piece of advice. The bad guys cheat at that too, and get away with it. We’re taught the Supreme Court, that institution that gave us “separate but equal,” will stop the worst of it. Good luck with that. We’re told “nobody is above the law.” How that working out?
Where are incentives? The guys in charge have every incentive to amp up the lying, cheating and stealing - it’s how they ensure there will never be accountability. This **** isn’t going to stop, guys.
What exactly am I supposed to do? I’ll gladly take to the streets, but none of you will
Be there with me. My vote is meaningless. Meanwhile those kids will still be in cages, people will die because they can’t pay for insulin, tens of thousands will die from guns every single year, endless imperia war will forever pad the bank accounts of evil people and end the lives of innocent people. And absolutely nothing will happen to the people responsible for all of it.

Most speculation I've seen suggests the mystery company is Qatari or maybe Saudi. So in that case it would make sense if Mueller farmed it out to a different office. But all of the reporting says the subpoena came from Mueller, which does seem a little odd.

Another reason the report will never even be allowed to be seen by Congress, Barr's letter says there was no collusion or coordination with the Russian government. The word government allows all kinds of unsavory things to be swept under the NO COLLUSION rug.
Re: The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: State of Emergency
I agree the media should not let liars say lies on their shows. Too bad everyone for Trump does it unabashedly with zero consequences but hey we're gonna get those democrats.
Soon a "lie" will be anything a democrat says that a R disagrees with.

So that's all fine, as long as they do the same thing to every Trump aide, Trump surrogate or Republican who has spouted off inaccurate bull**** over the last two years, and refuse to give airtime to the ones who keep lying.
But that'll never happen. The first part (holding Dems more accountable) probably will, though.
