   The Constitution will prevent Bill Barr from keeping any part of the Mueller Report from Congress. His efforts to prevent Congress from seeing the full report will fail, but the delay Barr has caused helps Trump politically.

     Reminds me of this scene from “The Year of Living Dangerously” which was recently shown on TCM. A journalist (Mel Gibson) is walking through a Jakarta slum with a local camera man and they are talking about what can be done about the dire poverty. The camera man says, “I support the view that you just don’t think about the major issues. You do whatever you can about the misery that is right in front of you. You add your light to the sum of light.”

    Don’t let these talking heads & comedians define any of the DEM candidates. NONE

    We need to do our own research, carefully. Don’t fall for the starry-eyed, glowing reports/coverage of SOME of the candidates, and the obvious and sometimes very subtle bashing of others.

    FYI, Pete B. ain’t shit. I’d take Joe Biden any day over this dude. Remember, Biden’s been around, tested, he was VP.

    Mayor Pete:

    He’d endorsed Hillary Clinton after her nomination in 2016, as any aspiring party leader must, but he clearly won’t be writing any laudatory essays about her campaign. “I organized a Union Hall event for her in South Bend,” he says, and shakes his head. “You could just tell the enthusiasm wasn’t there.” The problem, he says, was partly that the stakes seemed too low. “We need a bigger scope of ambition for people to rally around.” A return to the Clinton and Obama style of centrist incrementalism, he says, will invite disaster just as surely in 2020.

    Oh, so, cancelled.

    Why do some white Dems do this thing where they try not to offend people who voted for Trump but in turn offend every person of color? It’s a big problem.

    Trump is a racist and that wasn’t a deal breaker for the people that voted for him. That’s just a fact.
