Nurse the Hate: Hate the Mueller Report
Like about half of the United States, I got sucked into the Mueller Report, believing that this written document would somehow swiftly bring justice to the abhorrent Trump Criminal Organization. My thinking was that after two years of intense investigation, an official verdict would emerge from what was being done in plain sight the entire time. I do recall Trump saying "Russia, if you are listening, please hack Hillary's email" and they did. I watched an astounding number of his inner circle lie over and over again about Russian contacts. In fact, most of them lied when it didn't seem like there was even a reason to lie. "Russia? Never heard of it." Then Trump denies, denies, denies that Russia tried to sway the election his way while acting spectacularly deferential to Putin. Then we find out he had negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, complete with shady financing discussions with Putin tied in oligarchs. This would be his comeuppance! Justice would be served! Wait? What? Son of a bitch...
In retrospect, thinking that Trump's son Spalding (or Don Jr as he is sometimes known) could head up a plan of some kind seems unlikely. He seems more like a guy you have in charge of getting the pizza for the after party instead of organizing "synergies" with a foreign power. And while Trump lies about EVERYTHING, it should also be noted that because he reflexively lies about everything the truth is essentially unknowable. Trump doesn't even know what the facts are anymore. Hell, his attorneys knew he would perjure himself when asked questions from Mueller as he is physically incapable of being honest. His entire inner circle except that shit Jared are all going to jail for some crime or another. To think he's clean suspends logical thought, but no one can prove anything on collusion and apparently no one wants the circus of the obstruction of justice charge.
I think anyone with common sense can look at Trump and know that he is committing some white collar crime the second he wakes up. He has been doing it so long that he doesn't even know he's doing it. It's just his "brand". There are so many inquiries and legal actions swirling around him, he will be in court for the rest of his life. I think he has been tangled up in court for so long, it doesn't bother him. He'd rather pay a lawyer than do the right thing ethically.
That's why this victory lap he will do for the next couple of weeks will be so painful. The outrageous rhetoric coming not just from him but his entire team of souless human beings (I'm looking at YOU Sarah Sanders!) will be the most bitter pill of all. "We told you so." Son of a bitch, this medicine is going to be hard to take. I find the man so irredeemable that I will admit I became totally bought in that he would be found guilty of SOMETHING. Now for the next two years of already started election talk, the blah blah blah from both sides of this fight will be nothing but painful noise. In fact, the spin from this will somehow make Trump a victim and make everyone forget that he is completely incompetent. He will probably get re-elected.
What a bust.
