I was addicted to the political media hacks. I'm certainly not putting my head in the sand, but I'm not spending three hours a night listening to pundits on corporate media, and it's been a good thing.

Peace

Still, it's hard just reading about GOP and/or rightwing inhumanity every damm day,
just one thing after another, with rapists and criminals literally running our country
and many of our courts.

I have cut my news watching by 90% since the Barr fiction came out, just can't stand to see his lying orange so hideous face so gleeful and gloating and now his attack against America is on full throttle. I don't read here as much either too depressing that the Nazis are winning. Schiff did a great job yesterday of drawing the picture out, outlining the treachery we have all seen or heard from this administration (in part). We know Barr isn't going to reveal anything, he was hired to lie and hide the report and he will do that to his last dying breath, he's a true russian repug. The questions are - wil Mueller tee up the entire thing and state that illegal acts were done, that it is Barr's personal opinion , not his and not consistent with the law, and that drumpf did commit crimes, no doubt. Or will Mueller basically say nothing because he's just a good repug? Right now, I don't know who he is any longer, and he needs to come out on the side of the law and constitution, not the russian repug side. Then, if Mueller won't tell all, what will SCOTUS do? drumpf thinks his lackeys on SCOTUS will protect him and there's nothing he can't do and get away with it. We should know for sure within a few months. Dems need to be very aggressive. Can't have this decided by a oligarch friendly SOTUS days before the election - or 45 wins again and the USA is over.
