BTW the term "Corrupblican", yours?
On Comey and HRC emails, context is seeming to be overlooked. Monday morning quarterbacking.

Corrupblican just seemed to fit one morning while watching the news. So yes I coined it last week.

I watched about 10 or 15 minutes of Trump's press 'appearance' this morning, he's acting even more strange than usual. Rolling over reporter's questions and repeating himself and generally being a vicious and demented old troll.
The old grifter has no one left in his life who cares enough for him to relieve him of his car keys and we're all along with him for the drive.

Hey Bob he just wants us to love him like your average North Korean loves Kim.

Trump doesn't not need GOP to stay in power, GOP needs Trump to stay in power.
Besides his grandstanding in Singapore has has elevated his profile and status on the world stage. He is probably acting out his newfound fame.

Reality is that he cannot stop the Mueller investigation and Trump will get further out of control if Manafort and/or Cohen flip. No reason to believe that they will not since they have both been thrown under the bus.

I find the variance of opinion on the whole report fascinating. It's simple:

1. There was no effective bias.
2. If anyone got screwed, it was Hillary.

In my opinion, that screwed the United States (but some folks disagree). In any event, I don't perceive the above points to be assailable?

Uh huh.

So the guy who was leading the investigation on Hillary's inappropriate use of a private email server for government business - Comey - was himself found to have used Gmail to send/receive government business emails.

No bias is possible, however, by Comey in the conduct of the investigation.

Right....

Stated? Yes. "Verified"? No. In fact the IG report provides plenty of examples of bias. However, the report stops short of calling a spade a spade by saying that the comments and actions of FBI employees "gave the appearance" of bias. Sorry, but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc., its probably a duck.

You're not going to crack the stooge. Republicans are ALWAYS pious, good and honorable even when they're caught red handed admitting they want to be "loved" the same way North Koreans "love" the Kim Dynasty. The rightwing brain in 2018 brain is totally controlled by this bullshit belief that the Republican Party is ALWAYS honest and good. It is completely and utterly beyond reason and they will lead us directly into the very same tyranny they purport to fear, thinking the path to "freedom" is achieved by following strongman leaders who despise Democracy, with their forced patriotism, hatred of the free press, etc., etc.,...………...

He's not out to fool anyone. For his game, lousey arguments aren't a bug, they're a feature.
