    Default "BULWARK" trashes TRUMP! "Mueller report reads like indictment of a MOB BOSS, not a

    Weird, I had not even heard of this CONSERVATIVE outlet till about 2 weeks ago and found it was a Sykes/Kristol operation. Humm. Imagine what his enemies say.

    "...runs down all the ways Trump functions as a gangster, like dispatching lower-level associates
    to “send messages” to officials who aren’t doing what the President wants, like James Comey and
    former Attorney General Jeff Sessions."


    Trump flayed for his mob-like behavior in surprisingly harsh column from a conservative outlet

    On Friday, the President called Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report “total bullsh*t” on Twitter.

    Even though he also claimed that the report exonerates him, the President appears to undermine findings that cast his administration in a negative light.

    The conservative publication The Bulwark was unsparing in its criticism of the president’s actions revealed by the Mueller probe, arguing that “The Mueller report reads like the indictment of a mob boss, not an investigation of a president.”

    In a piece titled “Portrait of a Gangster,” the executive editor of The Bulwark, Jonathan V. Last, argues that regardless of the report’s conclusions on collusion and obstruction, it’s clear that Trump does not conduct himself as a President should.

    “Leave aside the collusion, and the obstruction, and the legalism, and the intrigue, and one of the things the Mueller report makes clear is that Donald Trump conducts himself not as a commander in chief, but a mob boss,” Last writes.

    Last runs down all the ways Trump functions as a gangster, like dispatching lower-level associates to “send messages” to officials who aren’t doing what the President wants, like James Comey and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

    Trump was also upset that former White House Special Counsel Don McGahn took notes in meetings.

    “The President then asked, ‘What about these notes? Why do you take notes? Lawyers don’t take notes. I never had a lawyer who took notes.’ McGahn responded that he keeps notes because he is a “real lawyer” and explained that notes create a record and are not a bad thing (page 117).”

    Hello Centerleftfl,

    "On Friday, the President called Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report “total bullsh*t” on Twitter."

    Seriously? He called it THAT?

    That means he is saying the thing that "completely and totally exonerates him" is total BS?

    Sounds like he's quite full of it.

    Yes.

    He totally functions like a gangster. His way or the highway. That's why he fires so many people.

    If people won't break laws for him he fires them.

    No collusion, insufficient evidence for a criminal indictment of obstruction. No further indictments.

    What part of these declarative sentences is confusing you, Snowflake?

    Funny right?

    Romney, Sykes, Kristol, Podhorotz and Boot to name a few NeverTrump Trans Rightys

    When will they learn that Trans Rightys are dead to us. Leftists cucks can blow them all they want but real conservatives don’t care.

    These NeverTrumpers can cloak themselves in their “faux” principles but it is nothing more than a cover for their obstinance and proof they were never really conservative to begin with

    Remember Kristol is a neocon warmonger.

    I subscribed to the NR in the early 90's. Then I realized it was ELITIST and full of shit unless you were ALREADY rich! And that's back when REPUBLICANS included Reagan.

    I reiterate, that's quite a SLIDING scale of CONSERVATIVE you clowns have devised.

    25 Million dollars for a 400 page gossip piece bettered served if it were peddled by the National Enquirer......in the end, THE DOJ finds no crime. Its over now all that's "left" is the 2 week period of propaganda. Mueller Time was like popping the top on a can of flat beer left out in the sun to long. After 2 years of hype and lies.....all that's left is one pissed off POTUS with a weaponized AG looking for some left wing ass to place into a sling.

    Elections have consequences. What? Did anyone really expect the DON to prosecute himself. Just who was played? When all this shit was started my first thought was...…..Really? Let's get this straight....a republican president is going to be prosecuted by a republican DOJ via SPECIAL PROSECUTION? I knew something was humped back and crooked when the SPECIAL COUNCIL was lined with DEMOCRATS (just to present the appearance that something could really happen)…...then I thought to myself....what better way to go phishing to hunt down the leakers and the liars than to make them believe they have THE POWER to bring YOU DOWN.

    Well played Donald. For the first time in history.....IN REAL TIME....the 2 faces of the democrat party was on total and unbridled display for the world to see....the fake face was peeled back to reveal the devious real face of the democrat party. The world now knows, there's no pretension left......the social communists have had their closet door ripped off its hinges. The 4 or 5 rich and powerful people that actually run the DNC have been exposed and are about to be prosecuted.

    KEEP YOU FRIENDS CLOSE AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER. Trump has been taught much in the past 2 years....the most important lesson, how to weaponize his police department. With Mueller Time finally over its actually MILLER TIME. Take a seat, relax, turn on the tube....drink a beer and watch the up coming show.
