Republican Glee will be Short Lived

The Mueller report did not say he isn't  corrupt, dishonest, stupid, and the worst thing to happen to the country since 9/11. 

This week Robert Mueller released his report on whether the president (left small case on purpose) was guilty of collusion with the Russians. Apparently, according to a summary of the report, he is not.

How very disappointing for those of us who are convinced he is a crook and needs to be held accountable.

Did Russia or someone get to Mueller and persuade him to come to the "right" conclusion? Did they threaten his family? I want to think that's the only way this could have possibly happened. The evidence seemed pretty clear.

However, the Mueller report did not say Donald Trump was innocent of all crimes. It did not say he isn't  corrupt, dishonest, stupid, and the worst thing to happen to the country since 9/11. There are several more investigations pending.

The report also did not say that Russia didn't interfere with the 2016 election, possibly throwing the electoral victory to Trump. There is every indication they plan to interfere with our elections again. This is still a very serious situation.

I want to deny the report - I was counting on it to justify my dislike for the president. But there's still plenty to justify.

Just because he didn't collude with Russia doesn't mean he's a good guy after all. He still:


  • Calls Nazis good people
  • Calls other countries shit holes
  • Allows for the separation of families and losing of children at the border
  • Lies multiple times daily
  • Treats his staff terribly
  • Comes up with the most absurd conspiracy theories, such as claiming that President Obama didn't have an American birth certificate
  • Has sex with prostitutes and used campaign funds to pay them off
  • Talks about grabbing the pussies of non-consenting women
  • Blatantly spouts racism against Mexicans and Muslims
  • Supports tax reform that only benefits the wealthy
  • Threw paper towels at the people of Puerto Rico after a devastating hurricane


The results of this report say nothing about:


  • The need for national, single payer health care
  • The climate change emergency
  • The student loan crisis and general decline of education in this country
  • The widening of the separation of rich and poor


Those are some of the serious problems that the president either opposes or will not acknowledge.

Republicans should enjoy their victory now. Their gloating days are numbered. History, if nothing else, will expose once and for all the moral corruption of the current administration.

But I think Trump and the Republicans will be held accountable sooner than that. The election of 2020 is coming and we have a chance to decisively and legally remove them from the highest seats of power, making it clear that corruption and dishonesty are not acceptable.
