This whole thing is stupid. Nothing can really force the GOP from releasing the report, right?

I have a feeling nobody will see it until 2021

What impresses/scares me is how little it seems to matter. Nixon had the Saturday night massacre and that actually caused people to wake up. Here we get the Barr summery basically saying "everything's cool, no need to see the actual report" and everybody, even people who actually care about the Russia stuff are just "meh."

Yeah even if he did it I don’t care, I mean I wouldn’t write papers defending it, but why the gently caress should it concern me, a white person, whether a gay black guy gets off instead of murdered this time?

Because the playing field isn't level, the media let's the GOP get away with being angry and emotional but if someone on the left does it they are painted as being unhinged and crazy.

So Democrats have learned over time that they have to be calm and clinical lest the so called liberal media use any sign of emotion beyond serious concern be used to discredit them.

I can't help but look at it as a black guy reported a crime and this is what happened. He had money so it ended kind of not terrible. But if your the next guy to get attacked are you gonna call the police? Cause that's what it feels like the message here is, don't call the police.

Nope she is evil. By every metric society gives to morals, she fails on all of them. If American society actually cared about its people they would deem her evil, and would make sure that she was never in a position of power.

At what point in the episode? Be specific, please. I listened to it yesterday and I don't remember them saying that it was "good news for America." At most they said it was a good for the Dems and the media to give up on the weird "We have proof that Trump's a Russian asset" obsession.

And I wouldn't even call them dismissive! For most of the investigation, their position seemed to be, "Maybe there will be evidence that destroys Trump, maybe there won't be. But we shouldn't assume it's there, and the Dems need to not put all their hopes in that basket." They're not Jimmy Dore or whatever.
