  • Such histrionics from Sen. Hawley of Missouri. Yikes.

    And Sen. Hirono from Hawaii — yowza. What a berating.

    Comment


    • Barr characterizing Mueller's letter as "snitty" was something else.

      And I'm trying to think of any good reason for him to refuse to share the memo that memorialized the phone call he had with Mueller, other than that the memo wouldn't support Barr's characterization of the call.

      • The text of the letter can be found here:

        On March 27, the special counsel told Attorney General William Barr that his public description "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions."

          ""Mr. Barr, now the American people know that you are no different from Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval Office," Hirono said, referring to two of President Donald Trump's top media surrogates.

            Sounds highly partisan to me.

            In general, since there are fewer and fewer right moderate leaning voices, I’m not hearing the same things others are. I guess many of us hear what we want to hear, me included. I’m no fan of Trump but this has morphed into something totally different than what was predicted for the last 22 months.

            I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

              Depends on what lens you’re looking through. I would flip these around.

                  that's one of those comments that makes the commenter look as bad as the subject does. just because others wallow in mud doesn't mean Hirono had to.

                    I don’t think either were becoming. So no need.

                      I think the vast majority of the conduct on both sides is unbecoming.

                        Well the asshole in the Oval office has made that the NEW American way!

                          He most certainly has caused a significant amount of loss of decorum but it isn’t only in him. Did you watch the circus in the House this morning?

                            No. I can't watch at work. I agree that it's not just him. But when the President is a petulant child who constantly lies and berates others, it's hard to not respond in a like way sometimes.

                            We all are guilty of doing that in our lives. Sinking to the lower level that another brings you down to.

                            • What's disheartening is how effective the petulant childishness is. I hope/believe that in the long run character matters more. But I agree with Mith that the temptation is always there to take the easier way and we all succumb to it at times.
