Thank You, Republicans!

We’ve wondered how bad the Mueller report is for your “pResident” – and thanks to your reaction to it, we now know it’s damned fuckin’ bad!

We thought maybe – a long-shot, but maybe – the report might contain a sentence or two that was exculpatory, or perhaps a term or phrase that cast your “pResident” in even a vaguely good light. But thanks to your AG’s four-page synopsis full of pretty much nothing, we now know that there weren’t even enough straws for him to grasp onto in order to spin anything more than a feeble attempt to make things look not quite as bad as they actually are.

We were certain you would drag your feet on disclosing the full report until you had sufficient time to concoct a decent cover story, and were able to cherry-pick a few quotes that at least seemed credible evidence that your “president” wasn’t quite as corrupt as he appears to be. But thanks to your attacks on people like Adam Schiff, and your insistence that Mueller’s report be kept under wraps, we know that the report is as damning and as politically explosive as we always suspected it would be.

And so it is with all due gratitude that we thank you for answering our most pressing questions about what the Mueller report says, and why it is imperative that the American people be able to read every word of it.

If not for your unfailing ability to attempt to distract from the truth being told about your “pResident”, we wouldn’t know for sure that he is a Russian-colluding traitor – because if Mueller’s report even hinted at his innocence, you would have insisted it be released to Congress and the public immediately, and in full.

Nuthin’ says sumthin’ like a Republican saying don’t look here! to know exactly what needs to be looked at – and why.

I haven’t played poker in decades. But I am confident that given the obvious “tells” of the GOP, I could take you all on at once – and win every hand.

I did enjoy sending off an email to Mike Turner letting him know how ashamed of him I was after thinking he was an Honorable man.

He may never see it but his Staff will.

2. If the report had exonerated Trump, they would have released 350 pages out of 300 by now

As it is, this is a reprise of the scene with Obi Wan Kenobi from the first Star Wars film.

"You don't need to see his identification. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along."

Yeah, well, show it to us anyway, or else admit you're terrified of the consequences.

(Pssst! If you don't show it to us, you are admitting already that you are terrified of the consequences! Just thought I'd let you know. You're welcome.)

I'd be sending him ten dollars every hour on the hour, and I don't have that kind of money.......But I will donate, to the max of my ability. We need Adam, and we need four hundred more like him in Congress!

7. The Muller Report is just like Trump's high school and college transcripts.

If they weren't terrible, he wouldn't be doing everything in his power to stop the public from seeing them.

would be stupid enough to believe that "Hey, don't look over here" was indicative of innocence.
Sadly, there are tens of millions of Americans who are precisely that fucking dumb. (But I believe that their numbers are dwindling.)

Indeed, if there was anything in the report showing Trump as an America first patriot, Barr would have release it in bold font. instead, the best we get is "he didn't actually have Putin on speed dial".
