Objectivity? Mueller Surrounding Himself With Democrat Loyalists
Reports surfaced this week that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is outfitting his team with some of the top lawyers in the country, a move that would be expected of someone who has a monumental investigation ahead of him – an investigation that must be independent of the Justice Department in as many ways as possible. However, the particular people that Mueller has chosen to surround himself with has drawn questions about Mueller’s ability to stay objective.
In an interview with Fox News Sunday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich – who once praised Mueller as the right choice to lead the investigation – said the new hires raised a number of red flags.
“They’re setting up to go after Trump,” he said. “This is going to be a witch hunt.”
One of Mueller’s hires is Jeannie Rhee, who has a history of donating to and working for Democrat Party causes. Rhee, in fact, worked as a lawyer for the Clinton Foundation and even argued to a federal judge that Bill and Hillary should not have to answer questions about the operations of the global scam they call a charity. Rhee donated the maximum individual amounts to the Clinton campaign in 2015 and 2016, leaving little doubt about where her political loyalties lie.
Other hires – Andrew Weismann, James Quarrels, and Michael Dreeben – also have histories of donating to Democrat politicians.
And then there’s Mueller himself, who has been described as James Comey’s “brother-in-arms.” We’re supposed to believe that he’s going to be impartial in this investigation? No way. He is only in the position because the DOJ appointed him special counsel…after Trump fired his best bud Comey. And Comey himself testified that he leaked his memos to the New York Times in the hopes that a special counsel would be appointed. How can the lead investigator follow the facts when he is so clearly swamped in personal and political conflicts of interest?
If the mainstream media would do its damn job instead of carrying water for the Democratic Party, the American people would see this for the transparent sham of an investigation that it is. Or maybe they wouldn’t. People are going to see what they want to see. Unfortunately, that’s going to give the Democrats the opportunity they need to keep this sideshow circus going for months – even years – on end. And in the meantime, Trump’s agenda – the agenda the people voted for and want to see implemented – will be frozen.
History will regard what the Democrats are doing as an unprecedented black mark on democracy.
Swamp critters Trump left in the swamp are about to stage a coup.
In and of itself, this may not be as bad as it first appears. Providing that, Mueller’s prosecutorial appointments are equally bipartisan. If not, it’s going to look bad for President Trump, considering the alternatives. If they aren’t bipartisan, it looks bad and is clearly stacked against him. If the President fires Mueller, which is his prerogative to do so, it also looks bad. Either scenario will not play well. We can only hope that Mueller takes the equitable and ethical path, at this point.
Democrats are neither!
Let’s put Jared and IVANKA over the whole investigation Meuller reports too. Let’s make it fair and balanced.
Carl, there are no ethics in this witch hunt. This is about protecting the corrupt deep state who are the swamp creatures.
And these liberals headed by Meuller can’t do it. Hillary people, that means they are corrupt including Meuller.
Agree
What – Mueller Surrounding Himself with Democrat Loyalists? You got it wrong. Trump’s trouble is Sessions the so called US AG. Where is Sessions to counsel Trump to shut down Mueller’s office? First Sessions should look what color of people Mueller has hired. If all are Whites, then Sessions should sue Mueller for discriminating against Blacks. Second Sessions should order Mueller office out of FBI offices. Mueller should have his offices in the bushes somewhere for confidentiality. We also want to know who is paying for the probe-Trump or Repubs and TPs in Congress. Why should Trump pay somebody who wants to put him in prison? As a whole Trump should fire Sessions for he does not know what he is doing. After Sessions is creepy and a hypocrite.
swamp pedophiles you mean, hillary bill, obama,obama big mike trannie male dressed up to be our first lady sick,kaine biden,blumenthal,rice waters,cummings,mccain and his boyfriend graham,waters charles schumer, nancy peloski,comey clapper, brennan,podesta, david brock, alefantis,soros,biden, kerry,feinstein,ryan, all pedophiles fighting for their lives knowing trump is calling them the swamp rats to fire ,indict procecute for worst crime known to humans CHILD RAPES/MURDERS CHILD TRAFFCING https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/29948e0dac1f3bf9ef7f85ff2a00fc72989edfec06e8abdba3c79d61a350c8e6.jpg
Looks bad for them already. Hillary had the proven ties with Russia. They can’t be impartial to Hillary Just like Comey we know how that ended.
Well if the President has good lawyers they can prove that Mueller lies and that he probably fabricated the false witnesses. I don´t believe that Mueller takes the equitable and ethical path.
He wants probably to be FBI director and get still more power. He disgraces the FBI office
Exacltly mueller is a con, his actions prove it..Enough said
Yes, now it seems that only Rosenstein can fire him
Which I think is only fitting and proper. This investigation must turn to Hillary and OBAMA and must have qualified capable investigators not cons. I question Rostenstein
I question Rosenstein, too. Did not he really know what kind of a crook Mueller is?
Excellent point. What is the truth with these people like
Mueller and Rosenstein ?
Yes, they should be fired. Mueller and his disgusting leftists are fabricated lies about President Trump something they learned from the muslims, notably the global muslim terrorist organisation that wants to destroy the world´s democracy and proclaim sharia law and muslim caliphate
TRUMPS LAWYERS ARE THE BEST MONEY CAN BUY, THEY WILL DEFEND PRESIDENT TRUMP AND TEAR TO PIECES COMEY AND OTHERS WHO STARTED THE LEAKS WIRE TAPPING, OBAMA WILL BE PULLED IN AND ALL THE CARDS BEGIN TO FALL ON THE TABLE, OBAMA IS TOO DUMB TO CARRY HIMSELF UNDER INTERROGATIONS ,HE WILL FOLD FOR TRUMPS LAWYERS https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4ef5ee6612cd481579eb053bcc42deb8c07cbb241d36d53d6833d5cd4406eaa.jpg
Yes, I fully agree, but watch out for the “shadow government” that is the left together with the muslim terrorists represented by the Muslim Brotherhood. They must be smashed and throw out of the US
I agree that Obama is lacking in original thoughts, whiich will give him problems in a cross examination. Somewhere there is another criminal mind giving direction to Obama. However, do not think for a moment that this covert criminal mind will allow Obama to be placed in a position of interrigation. He has thumbed his nose at congress, courts and others, who make any inquiries beyond the few teasers he plans to give. We should also be concerned that this covert criminal (maybe Soros) could have another Obama Clone waiting in the wings to continue the destruction of our Constitution. We must be vigilant, since this next swamp clone may ride into town on an elephant instead of a mule. Big government policies have hobbled both major parties.
Sure, make it bipartisan starting with, I don’t know maybe someone like Senator McCain, even it out with RINOS that should make it unbiased – sarcasm over. This is an overt witch hunt, it is about impeaching President Trump at all cost on anything they can think about. It would have been nice if those same democrats would have put a third of this energy to impeach obama – HE has MANY LEGITIMATE issues that could have easily impeached him, and hillary allowing the Russians to OWN part of our strategic materials, i.e.uranium and all you hear are crickets and yawns from lamestream media. As long as the press stays with the steady drone of lies, it will keep slumbering lemmings under their control. There should be a hunt for deep state operatives and start bringing those dangerous persons to light and justice!
I don’t think there are any bipartisan Democrats and having turn coats like John McCane does not help. It is past time to drain the swamp including the Republicans who do not support the Pres.
We better do something. Offensively sealing.
We did, by electing Trump.
It’s Trump that has to get serious, stop doing stupid shyt and keep his pre-election promises.
Offensive hard ball, it is time, I agree.
We are at war. How long is it going to take for all freedom-loving Americans to wake up and erase the scum?
Yes, Robert!? When? Will it be soon enough? We had better get together!
GOOD QUESTION we the taxpayers have rights to demand comey hillary bill podesta obama lynch rice schumer clapper brennan all pedophiles be seriously investigated for their preying on lives of little children for using russia as an excuse to cover up the many murders in 2016 that exposed hillary bill podesta comey obama child traffcing child rapes, corruptions, wire tapping, leakers add john mccain as top leaker next to comey, these pedophiles are doing all possible to get rid of president trump for they know trump knows list of names in government who are pedophiles and he will not stop till these pedophiles are cleaned out of the swamp american please we have to stand by and pray for america and president trump https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4b990f4637320d8515345c89cd82a7a8469cd83de7a501526520818e6d0811c7.jpg
Brenda you nailed it girl. There are so many “swamp creatures” one hardly knows where to start but after reading your remarks you spelled out so well where some of the most vile “swamp creatures” are.
When were you a freedom loving american?
you mean a countercoup
mueller has credentials….but all hillarious supporters ???
Trump is damned if he fires Mueller and he’s really. damned if he doesn’t, he’s to close to Comey and he’s only hiring Democrats. Mueller needs recuse himself but that won’t happen because he wants to hang Trump because he fired his friends Comey and he’s in bed with Obama and the Clinton’s. It’s really sad that the Democrats want to get rid of a good president who only wants to Make America Great Again, we gave crooked Obama 8 years and he did nothing for out country. More Americans were killed under Obama. He brought his Muslim brotherhood and family into the United States, who killed the people in San Bernardino, Florida and all over the United States they were Muslim, they killed my friends in San Bernardino, we need to go after Obama, killer Hillary, Jarrett and everyone connected with Obama administration
Am afraid, if they do this, we the 63 million Deplorables will rise up as they have never seen except in the Civil War.
Pass the guns
owebama let the nuts out…the patients are running the asylum now
hopefully, there will be enough honest ones in that room who are able to ask questions or point out errors,,that the chairman and his crooked committee, make or ask or try to double deal. Maybe even call out the, oh so called, honest Special counsel Mueller. Even to ask questions that bring to light that Mueller and his group are out to hang Trump. Pray that the evil ones are not able to get away with their deceit!,, I do not trust Mueller either or his so great dishonest democrat shills. Don’t know the word shill, look it up. Learn something today.
Honest? Democrats? Not going to happen – with all the corruption coming to light in the Democrat Party, honesty, ethics, morals, values and ethics are foreign words to them.
No Democrat is honest, maybe Joe Manchin
Exactly
Trump needs to fire these people.
True dat!
Get really on the offensive!
So much on Obama and Clinton. Is Mueller and his cohorts in collusion with them. Are they part of the Clinton cartel? We need the people we voted in to stop this. They need a backbone.
This all goes back to the loss of the white house and their prima donna, killary. They will stop at nothing to get rid of the one who had the NERVE TO beat them…
Exactly. That’s it this is all in collusion with Hillary and Clinton cartel
We need to vote out any Republican that does not support Trump .
Absolutely. First McCain. I am so ashamed I voted for him in 2008, but there was no other Republican candidate
You could and should have done what I did….NOT VOTE on that particular item! I believe McCain is worse than any Demorat ! He also displays evidence of dementia or reduced mental function!
Yes, but in 2008 I didn´t know how bad he was. And I knew a lot of about muslim Hussein Obama, who was born in Kenya, but falsified his birthday certificate, his connection with the terrorist family Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohm and Tom and Mary Ayers, the so called rev. Wright and the worst Jarrett and his wife?(is she a tranny?) whowse father var torpedo for maffia.
No vote was a vote for Obama. But you are right. I shouldn´t have voted at all
Starting with John McCain…I can’t believe he has become a turn coat.
Yes, I am convinced that he is in collusion with them. We the people, must demand a real referendum that Mueller is a crook
They are just daring Trump to fire Mueller! This an outrage, having a lawyer for that crooked Clinton Foundation judging Trump! That is even worse than having the father of the star player on one of the teams, refereeing the championship game!
Exactly
Mr. Trump fire the mueller bunch now, they are out to hurt you and cause nothing but problems.
Include Rosenstein, inasmuch as he appointed Mueller. First, fire Rosenstein, then Mueller or require Rosenstein narrow the scope of Mueller’s instigation and demand that CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS not RINOs be appointed to the committee in equal numbers.
And investigate Hillary and Obama collusion with the Russians. “After the election I’ll have more flexibility.
Yes, Rosenstein must go, if he doesn´t fire Mueller. He is the only one who can do it.
Meuller and his cons are hurting we the people. We demand an end to this.
Why did Trump pick Mueller???? Does he want to be impeached? Something is very wrong here.
He did NOT pick Mueller. Rosenstein did.
Rosenstein needs to be let go.
Trump didn’t pick Mueller. Comey started the ball rolling when he asked his friend to leak information, hoping a special investigation would be launched. The leakers are the ones that should be investigated, not Trump. The people that voted for Trump will not let this go.
This special investigation needs to be about Comey and his collusion. That’s less Meuller and his Hillsry cons.
You misunderstood my comment. I voted for Trump and want him to be the best President that we ever had! I believe he SHOULD fire Mueller because of conflict of interest, Mueller being Comey’s best buddy! Thanks. Everyone now it seems are quick to jump and act like the demons we are fighting against! That is what they want, for conservatives to start biting each other. Gosh, let’s stop this and start sticking together with our own strategy so as to help Trump make America GREAT again!
Trump didn´t pick him. It was Rosenstein who picked him
Yes, but Trump approved and praised the decision on a report I read on Angry Patriots and that is why I said the first comment. Read my other comment. You are missing the POINT. Thanks. GOD BLESS AMERICA and God bless Donald Trump!
Trump is not involved in anything criminal. But even Newt Gingrich believed that Mueller is honest, man alas, the thugs he chose are all crooks and he calls them his team.
Because Trump is innocent and still believes that it is possible to get on with some people, he believed that Mueller is honest. Probably even Rosenstein believed it.
But never trust a Democrat. They learnt “takiya”(= cheating, lying and slandering) from the devilish book called quran
yes, I agree with that. Trump needs to leave his feelings on the shelf when it comes to demorats.
THE FIX IS IN
Mueller is playing with fire and he will most likely get burnt. If not by President Trump, It will be by “We the People”. We will not stand by and let this bunch of Democrats and Mueller charge Trump with anything. Mueller and hie hired cronies need to go immediately.
Gee, anyone out there think this is a set up? Muellers team are democrats and this smells of corruption and they are just starting. Corrupt to the core!!!
Mueller needs to br INVESTIGATED
Yes absolutely. And by real lawyers. And by the new CIA head
BET ON THIS FACT president trumps attorney already know everything about comey Mueller when they last went to bathroom all details they are prepared for biggest fight in history of america indictment will fly fast against all the government pedophiles who are fighting against president trump their crimes against children is about to be exposed in court,mccain is greatly involved with obama and hillary in child traffcing, so is schumer, graham, kaine biden comey 30 in all https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/410ab69b0de05981313e69faf92945657ca4c15c449db24cc847433f312a6d92.jpg
Wow
No way is Trump going to get a fair and impartial judgment. This is a lynch mob and a disgrace to our country. They won’t stop until they can hang something on Trump. Fair and impartial – no way. Cant trust Mueller any more than we can trust Comey and I don’t trust Comey at all. His brother’s law firm does Clinton taxes. Would you say there is a connection there and it is also reported Comey got funds from the Clinton foundation. This smells to high heaven. They are the ones that should be investigated. The dems can’t stomach Trump being elected and he did get more than the necessary electoral votes. Can’t beat him at the polls, stir up Russian collusion and anything they can dream up. Our country is going down the drain.
ask Rosenstein to fire Muellerl He chose him
americans wake up to truth…the democrates/pedophiles knows that Flynn had a list of the government pedophiles, he had to go for flynn was working with the new unit to take down child traffickers same as STEVE SCALISE who those involved in child trafficking pizza gate hire the shooter to kill scalise as a warning to others back off on going after child traffickers/and pedophiles in government offices in washinton dc they have killed many and would kill trump but he knows who killers are and protecting him and his family. trump knows who are his enemies, this is going to be a wide open door and fight between president trump and the washington pedophiles low life rapist of children https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4b990f4637320d8515345c89cd82a7a8469cd83de7a501526520818e6d0811c7.jpg
since feb 2017 it is now well over 3,500 arrests best of all 600 children returned to their familes, president trump total goal is to save the children from washinton government child traffcing rings obama and hillary ran out of whitehouse, folks in fed president trump set up a new unit to go after arresting peophiles, arrest those kidnapping ,selling our children forcing them to be sex slaves THIS WAR IS ALL ABOUT SAVING LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN SETH RICH WAS MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS WHISTLEBLOWER TO WIKILEAKS THAT EXPOSED HILLARY obama podesta,biden,comey child traffcing rings https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9734bea632dd6a98791ea58d8b8778f30d484231d1e31f1eb00e6103dff699f4.jpg
Yes, absolutely and that is why the left and the muslims(Obama had Eligibiary and more of the terrorist in his government and on important posts in Home Security.
I hope that when Mueller is out and the majority of the anti-democratic Democrats are defeated, Mr. Flynn will be back
Yes, and Mr. Flynn rightly stated that the worst enemy of the US are the muslims. Among the pedophiles at least 70% of them are muslims, because according the devil´s book called quran it is allowed and even recommended that old muslim men(56+) can marry a small girls (age 9+) because the mass murderer and pedophile muhammed did so.
There are more terrifying things in the quran, try to by Robert Spencer´s book The Complete Infidel´s Guide to Koran, but just now there is one tiny book to read, written in 2013 by a real patriot and a former FBI agent John Guandolo: “Raising Jihad”.
It is a warning to all of us who are for democracy and liberty and what we can do to prevent destroying the US and all the world
They will not succeed because God is about to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. I know you guys like to keep this in the secular realm, but the truth is this whole thing is a spiritual battle. Christians are up for the fight. We have allowed the enemy to win far too long, but now we are awake and praying and using our authority over this enemy. Do you really think Trump won by himself? Please. Everyone was surprised he won the election – except those who heard from God and those who are just hopeful against all odds. God did not put Trump in office for him to be outed in a coup. Not going to happen. Relax and know that the Christians (through God) have this. We’re awake and fighting the spiritual battles that are keeping these demonic hordes at bay and under our feet. You guys can keep talking secular all day long, but at the end of the day, God’s will be done! (Not mans.) Our forefathers did not rely on man’s wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. (As much as people act like they did.) Most of the founding fathers were very strong Christians, and many were actual ministers. The founding documents and our government are based on the Bible, not man’s wisdom, which always ends up failing. These are not irrelevant points I am making. The FOUNDATION of man’s freedom is the Bible. That is why socialism never works. Never has. Never will. Because it’s foundation is trusting in man. And that never turns out well. Then, of course, I can get into what spirit drives those people? To suggest that evil is not real is to not understand what Hillary and Obama are all about. They operate under the power of demonic spirits. There is demonic wisdom there, but God’s wisdom far surpasses Satan’s wisdom. Everyone is picking a side. No one lives separate from these two kingdoms (God’s or Satan’s.) No one. I say this because it is time to tell the truth. The whole truth. Our founding fathers knew God and His Word (scripture) is the only way to truly live free and to have the freedom to believe however you want to believe. (God does not force anyone to believe the truth and be saved. We have all been given free will.) Do you know what time it is? It is later than you think… Repent and choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be given the power of an endless life!
Well, here we go I think Trump made a big mistake in not firing anyone and everyone who was in any way connected with the damn worthless lying treasonous traitorous demonrat liberal socialist progressives. They want to destroy our form of government. Geez guys didn’t we have enough of this shit from oshit n hillashit. They should all be arrested, tried as the treasonous traitors they are and hung by the neck until they are dead.
This fishing investigation should be called off. We know that Hillary colluded with the Russians. Even Russian Smirnoff vodka is in on it. These communists claim their vodka is made in the USA and they are from Russia and probably support Hillary selling uranium to Russia.
The real crime here is not going after Hillary.. The republicans are the blame for not going after Hillary. They do not support Trump. Time to stop voting for them.
This is all part of the leftist agenda to get President Trump removed. If Mueller dares try to pull any of that Comey crap, there will be civil war…the American people have spoken, Donald Trump was duly elected and he IS our president. Get over it liberal snowflakes!!!!!!
So right on. Look what they’ve done to our country. Look at the shooting More illegals more radicalized, we will be as unsafe as Europe. Time to take back America! MAGA
We ALL need to call our Reps and Senators to call for him to be replaced, or at least to ADD some attorneys who donated to Republicans.
If you can’t take the time to call then DON’T b1tch about it..
Republicans in congress had better grow a backbone! I’m sick and tired of their mealy-mouth, back stabbing attitudes…the DemoNazis are sticking together in their efforts to kill off President Trump’s agenda and him along with it! These whiny Republicans could care less about the United States, they want to protect their pockets. I still do not understand why in hell, President Trump left the obums#it scum in there when he took office. I expected him to clear the stench and truly drain the swamp, yet the cesspool scum is still there. President Trump is trying to save this country; the DemoNazis and these weak spined Republicans are determined to destroy it. President Trump worked hard to win this presidency, there was so much on the line. CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS, STRAIGHTEN UP !! SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT…..or you can just go sharpen up your golf game and don’t bother running for re-election. The house has Rep. Gowdy, too bad the senate doesn’t have anyone like him!
I don’t care how good…nor how many lawyers this bum Mueller obtains because it won’t do him any good. This bum is going down along with all the other wrong-doers…Lynch, Clinton, Comey and everyone affiliated with these crooks. Time to drain the rest of the swamp and place these evil doers behind bars for a long, long time!
Agree
Seem to me that this is nothing but a controlled investigation by the Democrats, for the Democrats. I thought these type of investigations were to be Party Neutral. I guess I was wrong! So I would like to know when is there going to be an investigation of Senator Schumer, for taking money from the Clinton Foundation for his campaign, in the amount of $ One Million Dollars?
FIRE ALL THE DEMOCRAT BASTARDS!!
No good, need to fire a bullet between the eyes, then watch them scatter like cockroaches, back under there rocks
I hope Mr. Trump gets them all!!! Puts them back to he**! Where they belong. This so called special investigation is just a front to a coup. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!! The enemy is within. Be prepared, the shooting is about to begin, and civil war is brewing. LOCK AND LOAD AMERICAN CITIZENS, THE DAY OF OLD HAS FALLEN UPON US! IT IS TIME TO RID OUR COUNTRY OF THE ENEMY!!!
I got it. Open up investigation to include Hillary and OBAMA and Meuller reports to IVANKA and Jared The are the oversight , that are reported to.
The republiCONs have proven they will put party before country. Who among them would be impartial? Answer, none of them. The republiCONS have caused this mess. Gingrich i obviously and has always been a nutcase.
The bona fides of the people chosen definitely concern me. They are all leaning toward the left and the democrats. This isn’t sounding like an impartial panel. We will be watching this closely.
And who appointed this guy as “independent investigator”? It was the guy Trump nominated as Asst Attorney General. The guy who stepped in when Sessions recused himself. No wonder Trump was so piss about that.
The fix is on. But Trump will survive this one too. Today he still has support of 47 percent of the voters. That has not change so all this liberal BS is moot.
Could it be that Mueller’s appointees helps to ferret out the slimy Demoncraps and what their intentions truly are?
DAM^ED DEMOCRATS!!! Believe me, the Lord will punish them mightily!!!
Maybe Mueller should be investigated along with his buddies.
Mueller is out to make a name for himself only, he’s out of touch, out of date.
No way this extremely partisan Dem “independent council” can have all the big Dem donors be part of the case and be the defense too. Listen to Alan Dershowitz and put a stop to wasting our $ and constitutional rights.
Trump had better end this circus before it gets traction to impeach him. That is the goal of the Democrats. If Trump does not see what The Democrats are doing, does nothing then Trump deserves to get whatever. Trump this is not The Apprentice TV where you get to fire someone. You had better wake-up.
The only way the Socialists ( calling them selves Democrats can get anything is by Lying and Cheating. This whole Russian fiasco io to cover the real Russian involvement of hillary and pdesta and god knows who else. Are there any Republicans who are Loyal Americans who will fight to right this phony probe.
This is just a setup by the demo’s and it needs to stop NOW!! Trump was elected by the people and if he is thrown out by these crooks there will be a civil war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mueller is Comey’s buddy. Anyone think any investigation concerning Trump is going to be fair? Comey was touted as being the pillar of integrity, etc., and look what a liar and rat he turned out to be! Mueller is probably the same.
once again the left is dictating to the american people and are getting their way.when will it ever end?
Let’s get this civil war going. There is no such thing as a good progressive liberal. They are out for blood and American Patriots should oblige them and serve them their own blood. The longer we wait the worse it is going to be. Unite with the constitution and destroy the enemies of the United States.
American citizens, there is no way to stop this terrible war going on between these parties, unless the tax paying citizens rise up. This whole picture is going to chew up millions of tax dollars we are paying into IRS. We as citizens need a recourse to stop this power grab by our politicians. Force them to pay attention to the citizens they are suppose to serve. We all need to start bashing them on these blogs. They will get the noise we are making. By-the-way, both parties need a good cleaning. If we don’t do something, America will be in history books soon.
As we can easily see, we are not just divided, we are bifurcated with a great gap between the two major groups – the GOP and the not GOP, with, according to the approval polls, the largest number being in the not GOP group. We also have a President to whom personal loyalty seems to be more important that loyalty to the country or the profession comes first. It is the duty of the law enforcers to be as neutral as possible, but when personal loyalty is the most important thing, then loyalty to what individuals think are higher callings become enemies, so the result of selection based on loyalty to principles is bound to lead to the selection of people who do not have the necessary personal loyalty demanded by the one who is becoming the target of an investigation. When one draws such lines which exclude the majority, then the pool of possible candidates has been reduced with the left outs being selected to do the investigations. The people selected are not enimeys of the state, just of the President because he is the one who has drawn the line.
So you approve of the appointment of biased rather than neutral investigators? I see. If Trump only accepted personal friends as you say then why are so many Obama holdovers still there? I see your personal politics getting in the way of you making sound judgments in this matter. In the first place Trump is not a “Republican” in the traditional sense of the word. There are many in the GOP who oppose him strongly. He is fighting both the hard left and right. As for your polls,you can stuff them. Polls are easily manipulated in order to get the desired outcome. The DNC and their loyal pollsters had Hillary winning by the biggest landslide in history. Even Hillary bought it and didn’t campaign in states she thought were a shoe in. Trump went to them and took them from her. The skewed polls were meant to discourage Trump supporters making them believe he had no chance and therefore shrugged in defeat and stayed home on election day. The opposite was true and his voters flocked to the voting booth. You had no problem with two candidates who valued personal power and profit over the USA. The only thing I see you having against trump is his siding with the freedom of the American free market system over a European/Venezuelan style socialist system. By the way,how do you think it feels in Venezuela when people are hunting dogs and cats to prevent starvation? He trusts the people where you side with the government (as long as it is controlled by uber lefties).
During Reagan, the GOP wanted to remove the requirement for all Federal Judges that the American Bar Association certify they as being qualified or unqualified. How would you like to have a judiciary that was not even qualified to practice law. The States do their own testing for qualifications to be admitted to practice, and then they also hear complaints that lead them to be dis-bared for a variety of reasons – if they are dimented they loose their licence, if they are not ethical, they loose their license, if they do not act in the best interests of their clients they loose their licences, but in order to remove a sitting Federal judge requires impeachment. In each Federal Circuit, there is a Judicial Counsel that reviews decisions of the Judges within the Circuit ans something of a self-policing body. The usual punishment for not being impartial or considering the District as a private feifdom, as has been done, they just do not assign the offending Judge any cases – put him on the left out bench. If you have any complaints about any of the people who Muller has hired who have law licences, you may file a complaint against them and let the Bar Association of which they are a member do the review. Muller has served both Democrats and Republicans, and that speaks well about his neutrality.
The polls predictiong that Hillary were right on with the popular vote – by over 3%, but their analysis was flawed by not looking at the Electorial College instead of the Popular Vote. Where are those 5 million cases of voter fraud anyway? Then if you loook at the landslides that he got from WI, MI, and PA you will find a total of 70,000 votes based on his promise to bring jobs back to the Rust Belt. At last report by his Department of Labor, they were still loosing both jobs and people. How about that cut of 90% to the Great Lakes Cleanup budget – these created seasonal jobs, which are better than no job at all in these 3 states? The first step in bringing jobs back to anywhere, is cleaning up the mess by the ones who left it. No money in the budget for that. He is priding himself on doing the really stupid things that he promised but nothing to do the practical things that need to be done.
We now have a question regarding who would profit from the election of either. Trump promised more money to fix the almost totally worthless VA – the new Denver VAMC – just needs a few more million to finish the buildings, and then funding for furnishings, and that is not in his budget proposal. What is there, is that about 250K vets who get pensions for unemployability – mostly those over 65 – will loose their pensions so that the alfeady not working Veterans Choice can get funded – take from the really needy and give the money to the other really needy people with tax cuts for the wealthy. Bernie campaigned on the single payer plan that would give health care to all, and just introduced a bill to do that while the GOP Senate is holding private sessions to try to catch down with the House, but in a nicer way. Bernie would not profit from single payer, but the private insurance companies and hospital companies will profit from the GOP plan. Do you own any Ins Company or Health company stocks? I don’t. Which country has profited the most by Trump’s failure to say that he would meet the mutual defense part of the NATO treaty – that would be his friend Putin. How would the people in the Baltic states do without the US? Not well. A Great Country honors its Treaty Obligations. If you look back to when we really did have a free market system – prior to about 1900 – 99% of the people did not do that well – when the Ludlow mine had another ‘accident’ which killed over 30 miners, the first question from management was about the horses – the value of a human life to the Rockefellers was less than a horse. If Carnagie did not want to sell you steel you didn’t get any; if JP Morgan didn’t want to loan you money, you got none. If Std. Oil wanted to raise its prices of product by double, and you needed their products, would you have to pay or do without. Eventually all ‘free enterprise’ turns into monopolies which have no incentive to make needed changes in their products – if the rails they make for your trains, then you either take their defective rails or go on the worn out ones. Great system – the 1% has total control over all aspects of life and they were not elected to anything by anyone. If we would not have had legal labor reforms, the riot that happended following the Ludlow mine disaster, or the Pullman riots, would have grown because the price of a human life under free enterprise is actually 0. Adam Smith made some very serious omissions and/or assumption in his ‘Wealth of Nations” just as Marx did in Das Kapitol. Moderation in all things made America Great. GM saved about 50 cents per unit by using the known defective ignition switches – Ford made about the same on every Pinto which exploded in rear end collisions. If Detriot made cars do not meet CA emissions standards and the taxes on these are made 10 times that of comperable cares, who will buy Made in USA cars?
Everey economic system looks very good on paper, but in all of the differential applications, something goes wrong. Iceland adopted our banking system and went bankrupt; Ireland lowered its taxes thinking that jobs would come there, and even built buildings and housing, but all that came were the patents and copyrights in mail boxes, and that move was to copy our low tax system. Now this has become a solvable problem for us – Google and others take the profits from its US buiness, pays itself its copyright and patents first so instead of them paying at the usual corporate rate (which Trump wants to lower) it pays th 12.5% rate, and the US taxpayers pick up the difference. We could cure that by just passing a law that says you pay on earnings where they are earned, and then you pay the other costs – the patent charges that you set, etc.
60 years ago my town, along with others on CO’s front range wanted to attract new busineses, but the Electric Utility only would build after the growth came, so several cities joined together and build their own coal fired power plant, which has been converted to natural gas from right under the plant – owned by the cities and basically their people (socialism), and also investing heavily in wind and solar, so our electric rates are going down while, in the rest of the state they are going up. We can also totally isolate ourselves from the grid. The city that now contains my home since 1946, now has a population of about 100K, and is getting a new factory (not Trump’s fault) that will employee 500 by 2019, so our tax base will grow, and our property taxes will go down. Our city owned Fiber Optic system, which Comcast would not build until the demand was here, is now up and running and to keep me as a customer, I am getting 3 times the service at half the price for 3 years. Free enterprise only works where the return on investment is asap.
Now, because of our Socialism, we are having problems of running out of space and water, so I am probably going to run for the House in 2018 against one of those Freedom Coalition Reps who has not done a damn thing for his constituants out on the plains. I am going to try to get them to do what we did, only manybe more – make people funded companies to sell things that are really needed in our over crowded urban areas.
If you do not like socialismi, then quit driving on my roads, quit using my airports, quit drinking my clean water, etc. You have gladly eatten up all of the BS that the 1% wants you to believe.
I see you live to write novels rather than answer direct questions. I also see you think sky high taxes and government control of the entire economy and everyone’s lives 24/7 is your preferred system. Your roads? You pay taxes and I don’t?? My late father (a union official and staunch Democrat) told me that when I was born doctor and hospital bills were reasonable enough that he could pay them with his income and have my mom stay home and raise me. Since the inception of health insurance that is no longer possible. The affordable care act is not only unaffordable it provides no healthcare It is insurance. Insurance is useless if doctors won’t accept it and the government won’t pay until the premiums and co pays are remitted. ACA plans with premiums people can barely afford have sky high deductibles. Plans with affordable deductibles have ridiculous premiums. This is NOT an accident.The “war on poverty” made things much worse. Since the days after LBJ and the CIA murdered Kennedy things have gotten out of control. Racial and social matters aside things were so much simpler and better in the 50s. Thanks to leftists like you this country is being turned into a leftist cesspool.
First, you do not know how the health insurance industry works. They make money for their investors by collecting premiums, and not paying claims is good business. At least 25% of your health insurance dollar goes to profits and administrative fees. So if there was a single payer system there would be an instant savings of 25%, but that would be Socialism, which you have been told and believe is totally evil. The health care industry does not obey the laws of supply and demand, where the patient really has no choice over the hospital, and very few choices over the primary doctor. Health insurance companies go out and make contracts with mostly group providers, and so you are limited by those providers in the group. This means that if your doctor does not go with the same insurance company as a ‘preferred provider’, then you have to change doctors or even insurance companies. For example, 25 years ago I got hurt on the job, which would not have happened if I would have been in a union shop, by having to carry a large piece of computer equipment from one place to another, and it weighed more than 60% of my body weight, had a replacement value of about $30,000, and in the process I got out of position and did a partial dislocation of both hips and pinched some nerves in my back – no feeling at all below the knee and very little from waist to knee, but at 50, and being a computer programmer, my risk for that was very very low, even though Boe Jackson, a pro football and baseball player had suffered the same, but only in one hip a few years before, and had to retire. I did my own PT by working out at the Y, so I was in very good physical shape when I got out of the pool, felt like I had been shot in the butt, and had to crawl to and from my car.
I made it to urgent care, and since I was not bleeding after I got x-rays was diagnosed with drug seeking behavior, even though I had given up on the pain killers within a year of the accident. The next day, the radiologist read the xrays and I got a call from the Orthopedist telling me to get in asap, so more xrays and both hips. In the town of 50,000 there were only 2 orthopedists so I took the one that went with urgent care. I care about only the competence of the treating physician, and both of these available ones had equal ratings. That, along with the PTSD that I had suffered from for 40 years made me eligible for SS Disability, but I had to wait for 2 years following the judge’s decision to get Medicare – at the time as a single male with no dependents I was not eligible for Medicaid. Actually I had gotten a supplemntal policy, that made both the clinic and the hospital preferred providers. With both of these, at the time, I had no out of pocket costs, so I thought that it was very good. However, it and all of the other govt healthcare systems have gone to hell – including the VA where I am supposed to wait for at least a month for any appointment. Since I had gotten out of the USMC on a medical, I did not get stuck in all of the waiting lines for claims and appeals.
The war on poverty has become a war on the poor. Because of the cheap skates in Congress the War on Poverty mostly existed on paper
Another important part of healthcare insurance is the cost of prescription medications, and now that the pharm companies have free speech and can advertize, they do, and give people the idea that all will be well if you take their on-patent and higher cost pill. We are the only western country that does not have some sort of price control on our prescription medicines – the VA can buy them at the lowest cost, but Medicare cannot. One of the 3 pills that I take usually comes from France, England or Canada, and its cost there is about $7.00 for a 30 days supply – here, even though it is generic, the price is about 10 times that. Why won’t the Congress put price controls on pharm products – ever tried to look at how much they donate to campaigns? I think that you are opposed to abortion, but it is the taxpayers who pay far more to save the woman’s life if her doit yourself did not work, so for the 1 out of a hundred (based on pre Roe data) you and the others get stuck with the thousands that the uninsured woman cannot pay, so by all means be stupid and write your member of congress and have them remove funding from PP, which spends the taxpayers money on birth control and women’s health, while my monthly donation and those of others go to provide the (operent word) SAVE and legal abortions.
Hospitals do not compete for business – they are actually an oligopoly – few providers for many patients, so they can charge what the market will bear. The govt was paying the interest charges for some providers so that they could lower their labor costs, but Trump has done away with that, so the providers will have to charge more, and that means that health insurance premiums will have to increase. That will add fuel to your and others claims that it is the fault of the disabled that they are disabled, or old age becomes an illness. Most of us have pe-exiting conditions by the time we are 10 – that broken ankle or wrist, or that collision during foot ball practice or heading a ball during soccer.
In the notes left, about 10% gave the reason as debt – mostly medical debt. When people get new rights or benefits they are happy, but when they loose something that they have already used to their benefit, they get angry and sometimes very angry. That peasant who lost the child to the Nobel’s coach may have started the French Revolution when he killed the noble, but that just started something that got totally out of control. How did the Arab Spring start, and is is really over now?
From old political satire: Trumpetey Trumpety sat on a wall, Trumpety Trumpety had a great fall – you finish the rest. Disparity in wealth and power.
“The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.” (Margaret Thatcher). “The goal of socialism is Communism”. (Vladimir Lenin). The ten poorest cities are ran by Democrats using socialist policies.http://eaglerising.com/1912/democrats-run-americas-ten-poorest-cities/ America IS INDEED a socialist country; to an extent. massive never ending budget deficits and debt we are drowning in are the result of policies started mostly by LBJ ,All socialistic in nature and as are all Democrat social policies designed to keep Democrats in power by making sure the poor stay poor.
There are books on how capitalism is supposed to wore (Adam Smith and “Wealth of Natons”) and on Communismism (Marx – “Das Kapitol”) – both are highly idiological and ideology seldom works as expected, and so both of these have failed. However, with Socialism, there is no book which puts forth any ideology – there are books about it but no real guide book. While in your last positing you mentioned the horrible example of Venezuala, but you did not mention the best run country in the world -Denmark, which also has the most popular government in the world – over 90% of the Danes think that their government is generally fine, so elections are very calm affairs because the candidates basically agree with each other on 90% of what they think are issues, and their government is all about keeping modern and doing the will of the people the average Dane pays about 50% of his or her income in taxes, but it is the ultimate ‘nanny’ state because all of the necessities have already been paid for by the people. They have a military, which is mostly like our coast guard – to save lives, and a very small ground military.; My grandfather left there in the 1880’s and came here at 15 to avoid being drafted into the German Army, during WWII, it was again made part of Germany, but did not have any formal resistance because there was no way they were going to stop the much larger force, but some of them did the disruptive stuff..
Later under Chavez, while he called his government ‘socialist’ it had some similarities with the Socialism practiced in Denmark, the missed out on the most important things like becoming self suffcient – developing its own ag system, etc – while the oil money was still flowing, under the erroneous assumption that it would keep coming forever, which it didn’t. When the price of crude hit the skids, so did Venezula and it had missed out on the becomming at least food secure. The danes, who still make most of their money from the sea (fishing), have used their taxpayers money to make the country more self sufficient – a year of so one of the larger islands became fossil fuel free with wind power from the sea, and they also have a strong agriculture part of their economy, some of which is subsidized by the government (people) so they can have the variety that they want at lower prices.
Thatche quoted Marx at a time when the USSR was falling apart because Communism as advocated by Marx was never a good fit with the area. The revolts that Marx advocated by the workers did not happen in Russia, where its Nobility were taken out by the peasants – poor ag workers – over the greed that they exibited during WWI – the nobility demanded kick backs when they bought guns and ammo, and they had esstially unarmed troops charging German machine gun nests. The soldiers were all peasants – their Nobility leadership stayed far away from the areas of combat. The nobility was taken out (killed) in the first revolution of 1917, and in the process, all of the people who knew how to run a government were all killed or sent into exile, so Lenin and others were left, and they to were idiologus, and also greedy for power. Just like you can’t take the mayor of Niwot CO and make him or her mayor of NYC and expect them to function well, you can’t take a Lenin or a Trotsky and make the the leader of the world’s largest farm and expect them to actually do well.
One of Thather’s attempts at privitization – that of the Rail Roads – failed miserably. If you look at England, the thing that is totally missing are the skyscrapers that we have in our major cities. In England, the workers in the cities live in the burbs or up to 100 km away from work, and since they do not have that many freeways, the main way that the workers had to get to work were by train, which had to run on schedule for their buinesses to work, so under socialism, the fares were less than the costs of operating the passenger trains, and the passenger trains always had the right of way. When it went private, the goal was to maximize profits, and that was in the freight, so they tried to raise the fares to make the passenger traffic profitable – people could not afford the new higher fares, so unemployment and the cost of welfare to the government increased. and with passenger traffic loosing more money with the decrease in the number of people who could afford the high fares, the freight traffic ran on time, but the passenger traffic got there when it got there. This is the same thing that happened in the US after WWII with some other complications. During WWII, because of lack of labor and materials, the infrastructure of the Eastern rail roads went to hell, and instead of spending their income on infrastructure the RRs increased the divideds, and this worked even though unsafe at any speed applied to the Eastern RRs. The nation needed a good RR system to carry both passengers and freight at the time. The fastest way to get from coast to coast was by train, but because they had to be opperated at a loss, some RR’s simply got out of the passenger business. Which we see now – all of the rest of the industrilized country have bullet trains which run on dedicated rails to get people from place to place almost faster than if they had flown. Our exisiting Amtrac trains travel at less than half the speed of these overseas trains. Right now there are not enough passenger cars in one place to carry a regiment of troops from one place to another anywhere in the US. In the West there are only a couple of passenger trains still running. With the train that starts in So Cal, when one wants to go to Denver, the passengers ride to Raton, NM, and take busses to Denver along I-25, which has RR tracks running parallel to the highway. Denver has too many people, and most of them commute, and so alll of the highway traffic coming into Denver from all directirons almost comes to a stop about 20 miles from the major business areas, and traffic is increasing. There are some people who have to comute from Ft. Collins or CO Springs to work in Denver -both 70 miles in each direction. The government owned (socialist) Regional Transportation District, is now about 10 years behind where it should be just to have been able to keep even with where it was 20 years ago. When I got out of the USMC, in 1961, It would take me 30 miniutes to drive the 30 miles to and from work in Denver, but in 1980 when I got another job close to my first one, it took me well over an hour each way, so I just had to rent an apartment closer to work. I could not be productive while sitting in traffic. People mass transit will never be able to pay for itself, and will always need a subsidy.
The Constitution does not make any mention of any form of economy, so the Founders seemed to believe that one would develop and change to meet the needs of the people and the country. What we had until 1980 was a mixed economy – where the private sector did what produced a profit, and paid taxes on the money that was not reinvested for the good of the people and the country, with tax rates up to 95% over some amount. The people who made the most money had the choice of doing something that was good for the people and the country or turning parts of their income over to the government to do what they did not do – whcih did not have a good profit potential. We used a lot of this excess profits to build the Interstate Highway system – which is good for both people and business, because we in CO can now get vegies grown in CA in the winter, the next day at our grocery stores. If these had been built as toll roads, the cost to the consuer would be at least twice. Now, Trump’s great infrastructure plan has become a public private partnership, where the private partners will have to make a profit, so our costs for everything that goes over the road will increase. There is only so much profit to be had, and those that own he means of transportation will get first take, and with the lack of alternatives, if you want to go from Needles to Phoenix, your tolls will be in the 100’s of dollars, where now, they are 0. Which would be your choice – capitalism or socialism?
Your vision of how things should be is strange indeed. There does have to be safety nets for the truly helpless and regulations to make the system fair but your idea that government is the best and fairest arbiter of everything is misguided at best. As it is now Trump is being forced to weed out deeply embedded deep state officials who are the epitome of corruption. Absolute power is indeed absolutely corrupting and people deeply embedded in our government have done as they pleased for decades. Bill and Hillary are a prime example having gotten away unscathed from every scheme and swindle they perpetrated. With the help of corrupt underlings in local state and federal governments running interference for them they have skated every time. Their crimes are common knowledge now. That is why she lost to Trump. You lefties just don’t get it. As for public/private partnerships in infrastructure development no one can deny the delays and massive cost overruns that occur under strict government supervision. When private entities come in the norm is projects coming in ahead of schedule and under budget. As an example you tout the savings we would get if Obamacare were reinstated. Anyone who doesn’t know that government is the biggest waster of time and money in existence has no idea what he is talking about. The fact is that full socialism is failing everywhere. In Venezuela people are eating house pets. Is that what you want?
The states where Hilary lost were extremely close. less than 1% difference between the number of votes for Clinton or trump. Trump does not have a huge mandate and his act about the election results is arrogant and divisive.
Mueller, like Comey is a Clinton supporter . And a big time islam supporter /enabler /apologist. And a punk ass bitch of G. Soros. ALL should be shot..
You really seem to enjoy murder!
Murder. Just call it “taking out the trash”..
I just want to confirm, no matter what you call it, you are going to kill me, yes?
mueller a punk ass bitch? I doubt that. Must be your imagination
A DEFINITE punk ass bitch of G. Soros and the Clintons.
Ok, it is time to fire mueller and his entire crew of known democrats and liberal supporters along with Rosenstein the assistant attorney general who recommended firing comey then appointed mueller. It is easy to see this is turning into a bias “investigation” because of the investigators background. After the President fires them he then has to get rid of the obama leftovers and anyone else who does NOT support the agenda that he ran with during the election and also sort thru the republicans that are not entirely with him by not supporting them for reelection!!!!
Sounds like the mulehead is getting as many of the crooks he can to go after Pres Trump Cant see why the mulehead crook was picked I think from what i have seen the FBI , NSA , CIA , and the IRS is full of dem crooks and nothing honest can come from crooks
Mueller is surrounding himself with people that are highly experienced in uncovering what is fact and what is fiction. They know where to look and how to connect the dots.
Mueller is highly respected by Republicans as well as Democrats. There was the sound of crickets regarding any objection to Mueller being appointed as Special council.
Just another attempt to stir an empty pot.
I say fire all of them and let them say what they want, any person with half a brain can see this is already stacked against the Duly elected President Trump and anyone who can’t see this is either really stupid or is in complete denial of the truth- President Trump has to completely drain the swamp of all the career liberal democrats and stop trying to unify the politicians just put in all like thinking people
Do what the weed blower did while he was President. Have the FBI look into their motives and past. I’m sure there is a lot of dirt.
They are out to get Pres. Trump one way or the other. Damned if the Pres. fires Mueller and damned if he doesn’t. All we hear is how honest and fair Mueller was and how the Dems. said he was the best man for the job…REALLY?? I think Pres. Trump should fire Mueller because who know this could be part of the coup we wonder about.
How many loyal Americans want a stable government and not a coup?
i do not trust any liberal democrat who believes in the the democrat platform anti christian, baby murderers tree huggers who allow illegals to continue to INVADE MY COUNTRY liars THE WAR IS ON TRUMP WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IF WE GET IN THE FIGHT
Mueller is showing his true colors, and not surprising in Politics, it only shows after the appointment He and Comey are birds of a feather.( failure). Is he being paid?
The friendship of Mueller and Comey (Brothers-in-Arms: give me a break!!), Mueller’s liberal leanings and the extreme leftist hires he has surrounded himself with, raise huge questions as to his objectivity for the task of Special Counsel assigned to him. There was no need for such a appointment in the first place because there is no there there. Additionally the total and balatant liberal bias of Mueller and his hires smacks of a hatchet job directed at Trump.
