According to the memo, “The only way to interpret” Attorney General William Barr’s summary for Congress of special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report “is as a total and complete vindication of President Trump.”

Anyone who falls for this juvenile nonsense deserves it.

From the WaPo:

[quote]5 p.m.: In House floor speech, Rep. Mo Brooks compares Democrats, media to Hitler

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) delivered a House floor speech Monday in which he compared Democrats and the news media to Adolf Hitler.

“America can either learn from history or be doomed to repeat it,” Brooks said. “When it comes to ‘Big Lie’ political propaganda in America, as the Mueller report confirms, America’s Socialists and their fake news media allies are experts and have no peers.”

Brooks also read a passage from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” in which the Nazi dictator wrote about the “big lie” propaganda strategy.

Monday marked at least the second time that Brooks referenced Hitler in public remarks, according to the website Al.com, which first reported on the lawmaker’s floor speech.[/quote]

the media needs to start paying serious attention to dotard’s attacks. we’re heading into some very dangerous territory… at some point, a reporter is going to be seriously attacked, if not killed by his lunatic followers. esp as he gears up for re-election campaigning.
I was watching his rally the time he specifically called out katy tur and the crowd turned on her and started screaming at her and calling her names. it was quite frightening, and she had to be escorted out by secret service agents.

There were a lot of ways for Trump to play this scenario. He has taken the one most expected.

OTOH, how lucky we are that everything in the past decades has been preparing us to handle this.

Craft beer movement started to take off in the 80’s, and certainly has hit records, with lots of variety and options for every taste.

Had this stuff happen 30 years ago, we’d be truly fucked.

Now, at least, we have innumerable good beers to wash the era away with.
