Congrats to Democrats for being hellbent on sabotaging Trump’s electoral promise of a better relationship with Russia. This is the result:

“First Russian-Chinese air patrol in Asia-Pacific”

I've been saying this for two years. Now it's happening. It is natural for the US to get into good relations with Russia so they could be a bulwark against China. Unfortunately, as you said, Democrat politics is weakening our country.

Les, that would be great!

160 million American snowflakes showing up at the Canadian border in Tesla and Prius caravans and demanding asylum, toothbrushes, soaps, multi-bedroom, fully furnished, individual apartments with HVAC, wi-fi, iPads, iPhones, 50-inch flat-screens, gym membership and French (kiss) lessons.

Canada politely obliges.

The remaining true Americans would be truly delighted.

No problem. All they have to do is to wear the following T-shirt:

Is there a forum contest going on about how many dumb clichés you can cram into one posting?

Would you have kicked out Alan Turing?

That's what I enjoy the most about so-called "right-wing conservatives", they're all for "freedom" but insist on sticking their noses into how other people live as if it was any of their business.

Hmmm... about them. Would you be so kind to introduce me to a female left-wing conservative, please? We would still have something in common, plus the added advantage of “opposites attract.”

So, I hear that Kamala Harris’ Indian (Asian) mother decided to raise her in the African-American tradition (!?), cleverly forseeing that one day, when her daughter runs for president, such a race card might come handy.

ROTFL, I'm not the one sinking to new lows of Racism and Discrimination.
One can't get much lower than that, but I'm not holding my breath that it won't happen.

After all, after the Mueller Hearing, a new diversion is needed, maybe even a war or a state of emergency:

Trump probably won't be impeached (because that would give Mike Pence a chance), but he might be indicted when no longer president ...

Keep holding your breath. I am amazed by your freediving abilities: holding your breath for two years for the Mueller report, several months for the Mueller hearing, six more years till Trump is not longer president. Oh, my! Herbert Nitsch has nothing on you.

On racism (emphasis mine):

Quote

In a resurfaced interview from 2018, anti-Trump Democrat Ilhan Omar responded to a question about the "quote-unquote legitimate fears" some people have of "jihadist terrorism," by saying Americans should be "more fearful of white men."

In the interview, Al Jazeera host Medhi Hasan said some Americans feel justified in fearing Islam, not out of hate but for their own safety, before listing a number of radical Islamic terror attacks. Omar dismissed this suggestion immediately and laid the blame on white males instead, calling for the profiling and monitoring of caucasian men.

"I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country," she replied.

"And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe -- Americans safe inside of this country -- we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men."

“I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu, who said, and I quote, ‘you didn’t charge the president because of the OLC opinion,’” Mueller said in his correction.

“That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report, and as I said in the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”

You see BArt, Mueller does not declare people innocent. People are assumed innocent in our country. So Mueller cannot exonerated because that implies a person as being guilty beforehand. The point is the OLC rule that prevents sitting president from being indicted precluded further investigation on Mueller's part to even reach a conclusion that Trump did something wrong. He cannot find that a president or any other person for that matter is innocent, just not guilty of committing a crime. Even then, it's only an opinion. A person has to be tried to be found actually guilty. The point is for two year or longer, the Democrats have declared Ztrum guilty of collusion. Mueller said that never happened. Of course, now the Democrats are saying he "cooperated" with the Russians figuring the stupid public will now believe that. The whole thing is politics about the 2020 election. Meanwhile Russia is flying bombers with Chinese bombers testing South Korea defenses. Iran is seizing ships on the high seas. And America is distracted with this nonsense.

BBc:
Mr Mueller said he had not exonerated Mr Trump of obstruction of justice.

The Justice department works independently from the political arena. That is the ideal situation and a fundament of the how the country ( and mine) operates.
The problem arises when these areas meet, as in this case.
Trump has tried to fire mr Mueller-( a republican BTW) - That is an attempt to interfere with the justice system.
That is serious. Certainly in the light of the conclusion that Russia interfered with the election to benefit Trump.
Also Trump did not fully cooporate with the investigation of Mueller.
(Mr Mueller said that the special counsel's office repeatedly requested an interview with the president but was refused, eventually securing some written answers from the president.)

The Democrats did not make the case today against the president. Nor did Mueller.
