I'm not crazy about the specious conventional wisdom that MSNBC is some "Fox News for Liberals" as it utterly ignores that fact that, unlike FOX, MSNBC confines its reporting to things that happen in reality. That said - suck it Fox News. MSNBC #1:

MSNBC finished as the most-watched network in all of basic cable in primetime on Monday, for the first time in its 21-year history, according to Nielsen Research.

Another sucker who voted for Trump gets a clue. A woman who worked at the Carrier Corporation for the past 25 years unloaded on President Donald Trump in an interview…

The group that owns the theme park Ark Encounters have sold the park to their nonprofit affiliates for 10 dollars to avoid paying taxes, according to a report Monday by…

As wisdom drops innocently from the mouths of babes, so too we get the game plan to discredit Robert Mueller and defend the Kremlin installed puppet, from the keyboards of wingnut idiots that visit here. In summary form:

"Mr Mueller was a contributor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign..." "...he has loaded up his staff with other Clinton contributors..." "If Mueller is fired, someone less biased will be appointed to the position..." "...the ‘investigation’ are politically motivated"

This puerile defense of Trump's obvious crimes has been the in works for a while in the wing nut media. It has been building since before the inauguration if you count Trump's endless attacks in a free press and the idea of legitimate constitutional checks and balances. The bottom line is that the racists, a-holes and dumbfucks who consider themselves "conservatives" first and Americans last, are ready to fight for their racist dumbfuck President and his vision of a racist, dumbfuck American Oligarchy. Their rationalizations are bottomless. Their illusions constantly reinforced by hitting the Fox News crack pipe. Are ordinary Americans ready to take this on? Are we ready to fight for the free America we grew up in? Has our mettle been bread out of us by 240 years of relative domestic peace and prosperity? Are we too tired or distracted by our boutique issues, and petty rivalries to link up in the streets? I admit that I didn't see this coming in year one of Trump's Kleptocracy, but now I'm convinced that these are questions that will be answered in the coming months.

If Trump fires Mueller and the GOP congress does nothing, the last hope is the mid-terms. Relying on Democrats to get their shit together doesn't exactly fill me with optimism though.

"If this crisis unfolds as depicted here, the country’s final hope for avoiding a terminal slide into authoritarianism would be the midterm election, contesting control of a historically gerrymandered House of Representatives. That election is 16 months away. Between now and then, Trump’s DOJ and his sham election-integrity commission will seek to disenfranchise as many Democratic voters as possible, while the president himself beseeches further foreign interference aimed at Democratic candidates. Absent the necessary sweep, everything Trump will have done to degrade our system for his own enrichment and protection will have been ratified, and a point of no return will have been crossed."
