    I don't believe it means shit to you, Brad. I suspect that you called Vietnam vets "baby killers" and loathe the military.

    At any rate, you're right in one respect. Having been a combat-decorated Marine does not necessarily equate to trustworthiness, and certainly not to effectiveness. Mueller concealed the presence of biased team members for months, didn't he? I also seem to recall that he withheld other information that might be considered to have a negative impact on his impartiality.

We'll leave the kids plenty when we shuffle off. I'm going to suggest they use it to emigrate.... somewhere in Scandinavia would work.
    sad your ignorance is......

    Exactly. Why not make a lot of announcements that Mueller should dig as deep as he wants because he won't find anything. Instead trump plants more seeds of doubt with every anti-Mueller comment.

    I've never heard of "Donald Rump".

    Can we put General Flynn's service records up against Mueller's? I mean, since that is all that is evidently required to engender trust.

    Trump has no honor.

    I'm amazed that people are still fooled by this guy. Total con man.

    I don't really trust any of them. How can you with the history of the things they've done. Trump is crooked contractor who screws his subs, and the government is chock full of agencies that have conspired against citizens.

    THIS!
    I was ready to give Trump a chance upon his election, but the asshole squandered the good will by saying shit that was demonstrably false. Even the oft quoted meme about his supporters and taking him seriously verses literally is evidence of his lack of credibility.

    He fucking earned my distrust

    You are concerned with "teh 1% stuffing their coffers with our children's heritage", but seemingly UNconcerned with Obama literally burdening out children, grandchildren, and GREAT grandchildren with insurmountable debt? That might make sense if economies were a static pie. They are not.
