Mueller is a waste of time because everyone knows Trump is corrupt, not enough people care, and the vote requirement to impeach is so high that will never ever happen because the GOP will support him as long as he keeps their pockets full

All you need to know about Schumer is that when Hillary was looking for a Senate seat to carpetbag to she picked his electorate.

being aware that Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of his crimes, Russia-related or otherwise, because impeachment is a political act is concern over what America does and is doing

I will take whatever I can get to nail this son of a bitch against the wall

the #resistance isnt going to do a goddamned thing about Trump, and neither is the Mueller investigation

the entire point of it all is just to build a narrative so they can wave it at him in 2020. but the thing about that is that the Dems knew about the Russian collusion in 2016 and still managed to completely blow it because they were scared of McConnell. so why should we expect them to handle it any better in 2020?

besides, back before all the signs of actual Trump campaign involvement with Russians came out, the national hysteria on Russia was kind of offputting for me because there actually isn't a problem with Trump deciding to change US policy on Russia. it's his right as president. until the investigators started finding indications of possible collusion, it seemed more like the foreign policy establishment lashing out against a potential status quo change, just as they did against Obama when he pushed for better relations with Iran and Cuba

come on, don't move the goalposts. Trump being a sleazy real-estate fucker still makes those crimes just as domestic as ICE raids. If you want to argue that the latter is more morally reprehensible, sure, but that's not the Chomskyan standard you were bringing up

no the difference is that trump being a sleazy real-estate fucker is primarily a concern for mueller and his team because normal people can't carry out a criminal investigation meanwhile the other poo poo is politics the thing normal people can get involved in

however cia meddling in other nations poo poo is policy

the counter to this would be for dems to push harder by demanding that weed convictions be expunged from ppl's records, but as that might go against their tough-on-crime stance, that'll more than likely be a 'no.'

What's funny is if Dems had been yelling about legal weed for a while and then Trump does it, it actually would have made the Dems look like they accomplished something even if it was all Trump's idea.
