Unprecedented Hate For President Trump
I am 68 years old and I have never in my life seen the level of hate some people have for anybody, than they have for our President, Donald J. Trump. The haters can claim all they want that he is awful, stupid, bigoted, and even worse, but the fact remains he is a very popular President to his supporters and his popularity with blacks is growing every day. His haters hate him because their choice for President, Hillary Clinton, couldn't steal the general election like she did in the primaries. Trump haters are just plain spoiled cry babies that are the sorest losers I have ever seen. The level of their hate spills over to Trump's supporters which is unforgivable and unfortunate. The mood of the country is uneasy because Trump haters have a blind, unmitigated, unadulterated hate for the man and there is no other reason. Deny it all you want haters, but your childish conduct is only going to insure that you will never again get a Democrat President in my, and hopefully your lifetimes.
Your hate is disgusting. Your hate is un-American, your hate is borderline seditious.
You don;t have to go far to see the face of hatred in this country. Just go look in the mirror.
Long live President Donald J. Trump. Shame on you haters.

Robert Mueller resigns today
Today in VOX;
On the grounds of bigotry, ineptitude and lack of moral compass, as well as violations of the emoluments clause, Trump should be impeached. However, Congress fears political blowback without substantial clear evidence of a crime. Thus, the most likely move for now, is more investigations in search of more evidence. Once evidence that crimes were committed is overwhelming, Congress will have the fortitude to follow through on impeachment. Tax & bank records may provide more evidence.
There are crimes that Trump will be charged with, but those will have to wait until his presidency is over.
Mueller's narrow focus led to several indictments and convictions. We should applaud his efforts. But, there's a lot more that will come out.

Robert Mueller has resigned because his investigation is over
By Catherine Kim May 29, 2019, 1:40pm EDT
During a surprise news conference on Wednesday, Robert Mueller publicly announced he is resigning as special counsel.
The resignation was to be expected. He was appointed by the Justice Department in 2017 for a specific purpose: to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. He submitted his team’s final 448-page report on their findings to Attorney General Bill Barr on March 22, and a redacted version was released to the public on April 18. Now, he says, his work is done.
“I’m speaking out today because our investigation is complete,” he said. “The attorney general has made the report on our investigation largely public. We are formally closing the special counsel’s office, and as well I’m resigning from the Department of Justice to return to private life. ... The office’s written work speak for itself.”
Mueller’s mission — after being appointed when President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who was previously overseeing the investigation — was to examine any links between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government. Over the span of two years, he indicted 34 people, five of whom were Trump’s former business and campaign staffers, along with 13 Russian nationals.
In his report, Mueller said there was not sufficient evidence to charge Trump’s campaign with conspiring with Russia’s government to interfere in the 2016 election. He added that he was unable to make a definite conclusion about obstruction because Justice Department policy forbids a sitting president being charged with a federal crime.
With Mueller’s resignation, the ball is now in Congress’s court to take action — if lawmakers think the 10 instances Mueller outlined in which Trump may have attempted to interfere with his investigation are worthy of impeachment. Several elected Democrats, including 2020 presidential contenders, are now saying that Congress has a legal obligation to impeach the president, as it is the only government body capable of holding him accountable.
But the political reality remains unchanged by Mueller’s public statement and resignation: Conservatives (other than Republican Rep. Justin Amash) have no interest in doing so.
In a statement following the news conference, press secretary Sarah Sanders emphasized Mueller’s point that the investigation is over. She reiterated that there was “no collusion, no conspiracy,” a line often repeated by the president. And in response to the mounting criticism that Attorney General William Barr failed to be impartial and is instead behaving as Trump’s personal lawyer, she added that Mueller had said the attorney general “acted in good faith.”
“After two years, the Special Counsel is moving on with his life, and everyone else should do the same,” she said in the statement.
Although calls for impeachment remain a fraught topic in the House, Mueller’s remarks Wednesday added new energy to the debate. Despite his resignation, the fallout from his findings is far from over.

The Mueller Report Is Coming. Here’s What to Expect.
A concise report will probably act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House — and to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors.
By Neal K. Katyal
Mr. Katyal was an acting solicitor general under President Barack Obama.
Feb. 21, 2019
The special counsel Robert Mueller will apparently soon turn in a report to the new attorney general, William Barr. Sure, there is still a lot of activity, including subpoenas, flying around, but that shouldn’t stop Mr. Mueller.
The report is unlikely to be a dictionary-thick tome, which will disappoint some observers. But such brevity is not necessarily good news for the president. In fact, quite the opposite.
For months, the president’s lawyers have tried to discredit Mr. Mueller and this report, but their efforts may have backfired. A concise Mueller report might act as a “road map” to investigation for the Democratic House of Representatives — and it might also lead to further criminal investigation by other prosecutors. A short Mueller report would mark the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end.
The report is unlikely to be lengthy by design: The special counsel regulations, which I had the privilege of drafting in 1999, envision a report that is concise, “a summary” of what he found. And Mr. Mueller’s mandate is limited: to look into criminal activity and counterintelligence matters surrounding Russia and the 2016 election, as well as any obstruction of justice relating to those investigations.
The regulations require the attorney general to give Congress a report, too. The regulations speak of the need for public confidence in the administration of justice and even have a provision for public release of the attorney general’s report. In a world where Mr. Mueller was the only investigator, the pressure for a comprehensive report to the public would be overwhelming.
This is where the “witch hunt” attacks on Mr. Mueller may have backfired. For 19 months, Mr. Trump and his team have had one target to shoot at, and that target has had limited jurisdiction. But now the investigation resembles the architecture of the internet, with many different nodes, and some of those nodes possess potentially unlimited jurisdiction. Their powers and scope go well beyond Mr. Mueller’s circumscribed mandate; they go to Mr. Trump’s judgment and whether he lied to the American people. They also include law enforcement investigations having nothing to do with Russia, such as whether the president directed the commission of serious campaign finance crimes, as federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have already stated in filings. These are all critical matters, each with serious factual predicates already uncovered by prosecutors.
Had Mr. Trump and his coterie done nothing wrong, they would have had little to fear from the special counsel, and a report from Mr. Mueller that cleared him would be the gold seal of approval. But Mr. Trump’s behavior, including his dangling of pardons to witnesses in the investigation, makes total exoneration unlikely, even though it is enormously difficult to prosecute crimes with international dimensions and assertions of privilege. The investigation has been further clouded by the fact that people in Mr. Trump’s inner circle lied repeatedly when it came to Russia (that long list includes Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone).

The turning point
It will be a tough call.
Was it the jailing of refugee children, or the acceptance of a murdering dictator's word,
over the US Intelligence agencies ?
The majority of the American public has had more than enough of #45.
Their low approval rating has shown that for quite some while.
Robert Mueller likely has more than an enough evidence by now.
But, have the Republicans in Congress finally recognized, that 45's removal is what is best for the country.
Indeed, that #45 is a danger to this country ?

Hiroshima Day August 6.
Lest we forget: Hiroshima marks 76th anniversary of US atomic bombing
https://youtu.be/s4VlruVG81w
The USA was thrust into open conflict with Imperial Japan with their attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Roosevelt and Hitler declared open war shortly thereafter.
During the war, the USA spent a huge amount of money and devoted a similar amount of resources on the super-secret MANHATTAN PROJECT, developing the Atomic Bomb. Information released long after the war suggests that the German scientists *could* have developed their own nuclear devices, but the head of that program did his best to hobble development.
Simultaneously, Soviet intelligence cultivated American traitors, who leaked details of the super weapon to the Russians, precipitating the Cold War, which would grind away in the shadows, cost millions of lives and last until 1989 with the Russians, and persists to this day with the Chinese Communists, North Korea, and several other vassal states and Radical Islamists.
It should be noted that during the Clinton Regime, a lot of key nuclear intelligence in the form of multi-stage booster and guidance, and neutron warhead technology, was shared with the Chinese Communists, seemingly in exchange for soft money political reelection cash. The cheap, Judas's price America's security was sold for.
The Clinton, et al, treason continued under Obama with the sale of a vast amount of America's Uranium deposits under Hillary Clinton's watch, as she was Madame Secretary of the U.S. Department of State. To date, $6 billion of State Department money, missing under her watch as well, remains unaccounted for.
Hiroshima, as devastating as it was, was the just end to a just war. But America's future, and indeed, the rest of the Free World, now are under the threat of WMD's, the technology of which was provided to our enemies by our own domestic traitors.
