Is Robert Mueller Destroying the Democratic Party?
2018-05-07
[PJ] It would probably give Robert Mueller a nervous breakdown, not to mention James Comey, Andrew McCabe and the rest of the FBI cabal, past and present, but at this point the special counsel seems to be actually causing the reelection of Donald Trump. Most of the country, other than the greed heads in the media and extreme Democratic Party operatives, no longer gives a hoot in Hades about the "Russia Probe." They're frustrated and sick of it.

There's a dawning national consensus of "enough already" reflected by Judge Ellis when he demanded to know exactly what Paul Manafort's possible money laundering schemes of years ago had to do with Trump colluding with Russia in the 2016 election. The same might be said of Stormy Daniels, whose Russia connection is even more remote.

But let's skip past the subplots of the moment to the greatest of all unintended consequences of this endless investigation -- the decline and fall of the Democratic Party.

Yes, you read that correctly. Like a crackhead addicted to the next puff, Democrats and their media allies have spent most of the last sixteen months fixated on whether Trump somehow, some way, colluded with Putin. Meanwhile, a zillion issues slipped by, some important, others less so, but the Democrats barely weighed in on anything, other than to whine about Trump.

#11  Perjury was enough reason to remove Clinton.

#10  Regarding Clinton and Ken Starr I was amazed the Congressional Republicans allowed it to go on despite Clinton's rising poll numbers.

Dems are doing the same now, they think they taste blood in the water so they just can't give up.

#9  Ditto gorb. I got to a point quickly where I got tired of Starr when he wound up focused on Monica. I don't recall the other items but I know that they seemed more criminal than a denied BJ.

#8  Much as I detested Bill Clinton, it became clear after a while that Ken Starr was spinning his wheels and needed to stop.

But it sure distracted the electorate from what was being buried behind the curtain, didn't it?

#6  Thus proving that Trump's Tweets, like them or hate them, are effective at distracting them from mentioning issues which people really care about.

Who cares if he banged some whore 10-20 years ago? What are you going to do about the thugs in the streets? What are you going to do about people who can't put food on the table because some illegal alien has taken their job? Or has a neighbor who's daughter was raped by an illegal who was then let go to avoid having him deported by the feds?
What about the rule of law? Why are some 'protected' people apparently above the law? While others are persecuted because of their christian beliefs?

#5  Mueller's 'Deep State' handlers will not permit him to stop digging. They do not care about his professional reputation, or how stupid or corrupt he appears. The goal is strategic deception and diversion. He's still accomplishing both.

#4  I like the idea of "them" all backslapping and saying "We're riding high boys, riding high..."

#3  Used extensively in education system as well as afterward.

#2  As long as all white collar jobs - in particular, "public service" is gated through the educational system

'Affirmative Action' and 'Sexual Preference' being secondary gates.

#1  As long as all white collar jobs - in particular, "public service" is gated through the educational system - and they own the educational system, they've nothing to fear.
