Is coming.
Now I'm supposed to relax........

Even if Trump is able to fire Mueller if Democrats win back the house they could and should impeach Trump and the also could pass legislation to appoint an independent council in which Trump will not be able to fire.

so the Dems winning back the house is no sure thing.

SHIT...now WE could be really screwed if Rosenstein goes down. I understand why she did it though. This is getting scarier.

Foundation , Scalia law school, , recently appointed by trump ,part of FL recount 2000, served under BushII after working his campaign , went against board when Obama was in

She doesnt want to get into it with Trump so she is dropping out, but is she someone to miss?

the friend of my enemy is not my friend

I like walking across a parking lot and hearing others listening to the show as they pull,up window down . Everyplace needs this or tune in listen live online (although some shows deal with very local issues only )
Still plenty of national syndicate out there . People need to be aware

She could be right but she's no more prescient than anyone else.

Because with Trump and company in charge, the events themselves have been unrelentingly negative. Rachel doesn’t even have to add any doom-and-gloom spin, as the stories out of 45’s White House are completely insane. She presents details like nobody else, and she does her homework.

She’s also been absolutely on top of the Russia collusion story from the beginning. It’s no surprise that, since last November, her ratings have been superb, often beating Hannity’s viewership in the prime-time news slot.

JUST TO MAKE SURE: I’m not being hostile here at all, I appreciate your posts and wit (not to mention what’s probably the best ID name on DU) as a longtime DUer myself. I just see Rachel’s reporting differently— some folks cannot stand her lengthy, 20-minute build-ups (which I get), but I like her detail-work myself.

On edit: My previous self-delete was a duplicate post of this one; somehow I achieved the difficult double-post

and I've noticed many times that she tends to take a pessimistic view of things. I believe her to be thorough and well-informed but she can't predict the future. I don't know what will happen. Neither does she. But she can often be a bit disheartening because of her pessimism.

And I've posted this comment in only ONE other thread.

I understand what you’re saying now. She does wade into deep detail, where an audience will hear some seriously bad stuff from multiple angles simultaneously. Sometimes her formidable intellect can be TOO sobering.

I like her approach, perhaps because I’m a bit of a pessimist myself, and things are so insane now that, paradoxically, her serpentine trails of case-building actually make me feel better (!), because it’s as if someone (in this case, Rachel) is slogging along, making connections, and doing the homework that not many appear to be doing. (Emphasis on “appear.”)

But I realize that her approach isn’t for everyone— her tonnage of detail could make one feel overwhelmed and defeated. It’s like drinking Bacardi 151 proof straight from the bottle.

Thanks for the clarification, VO. Much appreciated.

and some of this is just hard to talk about without becoming attached to it, and its all so negative. Just my opinion though.

Which is unhealthy, to say the least. I’ve had to deliberately engage in something—anything— to distract myself from all the crap that’s going on.

Thanks, ooky— your opinion is 100% valid here!

Its a strange time. Like nothing we ever could have imagined. Gotta hope now the election will bring big changes.

It’s been a long slog, but I made it. It’s my biggest achievement of the day...so far.

all the time. Not just me.. there were lots of them. It's gotten a lot better.. so it wasn't easy what you did, VOX.

Easy.

RESIST!

The sky is not falling. Keep hope alive!

her stepping down isn't going to effect anything.

to end the investigation.

...I came up with: Brand "resigns" and is replaced by a Twitler Toadie for #3 DoJ position.

Next, Fake Preznit Cheetolini orders #2 DoJ Rosenstein to fire Mueller.

Rosenstein refuses to fire Mueller, and for that, he is sacked.

The DoJ #3 Twitler Toadie becomes #2 at DoJ and happily fires Mueller.

Twitler appoints a new #3 Twitler Toadie.

Lather Rinse Repeat when necessary.

The end.

She's a Trump appointee, and now she's going to Walmart, that well-known bastion of liberal progressiveness. Oh, wait. They're not.

In fact, all of you who think her leaving is something tragic, consider very carefully where she's going. Not to some liberal think tank. Not to some progressive non profit. Hell, she's not even going in to private practice. Nope. Walmart. Fucking Walmart.

So if Maddow seems sad at her departure, then she's uninformed here, which is scary and would make me re-think her stance on lots of things.
