My fear is that, like so many investigators and prosecutors, he’ll be unwilling to move until he’s got everything completely nailed down. And that will take years. By then, evidence will have vanished, witnesses will have forgotten what happened (or died), and they’ll have to drop the case(s) because they realize they can’t get a conviction.
If it goes on for more than one year, you might as well forget the whole thing, and move on. The question of Russian interference needs to be resolved before the 2018 elections. If it isn’t, those elections will be plagued by doubts about its legitimacy. And the question of the criminal behavior of Trump and his minions needs to be settled before the damage he’s doing becomes truly irreversible.
This is reasonable, but I’d be shocked if Mueller doesn’t have some inherent sense of the “The Integrity Of the Entire System Is On The Line” factor. Therefore, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t go way before then. Not to say we’'ll not be sweating bullets for some period of time.
While it pains me to say this, I have to admit that while it may be like driving a Citroen, it’s like driving a Citroen with one hell of a turbocharger. I don’t like Edge, but I can’t deny that its page rendition is faster than Firefox and Chrome. Noticeably faster.
It was always something I barely noticed among my apps on my PC laptop. Just read about it and it seems well-thought-of in some ways. God knows browsers aren’t as crisp and fast generally as they ought to be.
i hate to sound like a English teacher. I’m not, but the original meaning of “witch hunt” has been corrupted and that’s the loss of a good expression with objective referents. .
Witch hunting is fabricating charges against innocent persons in an effort to get them to implicate other innocent persons in crimes.
Goes back to the 1400’s when women were tortured and confessed to being witches and named other innocent women as confederates.
We had some measure of witch hunting back in the 1950’s with the Congressional commie hunting.
Yes, there were some real commies, but others were destroyed because they may have attended a Communist rally in the 1930’s, but were no more commies than Mickey Mouse.
In the same vein, I recently saw a post from a RWNJ who was, to his credit, actually reading Hillary Clinton’s book. He remarked that it contained a lot of “sour grapes.” I didn’t bother replying, but if I had, I would have pointed out that it would have been “sour grapes” only if Clinton had said that she didn’t really want to be President, anyway.
Maybe not fair to blame the browsers. At the risk of taking this thread hijack further into the weeds…
There’s a web page design fad that is almost spectacularly misguided. It says, “my page will load faster if, instead of pulling resources from my own server, it pulls resources from elsewhere when it can.” So, don’t have jquery.js on your own server - just load it from elsewhere, like the cloud (as if that were some magical place, unencumbered by reliance on physical instrumentalities).
What this does, however, is introduce multiple failure points. If all the resources are on your own server, the page won’t load if your server is down. Duh. But if your page is reliant upon scripts and other resources from 20 other places, you now have a page that won’t load properly if any one of those 20 other places is having a problem.
So that’s why I’ve got a modern computer and plenty of RAM and fiber-optic service and modern browsers and it’s not much better than the old DSL days. Good to know.
I just want people carted off to the hoosegow now, no trials even, just send the whole trump klan* off now. Enough already. Yeah the wheels of justice are slow, yada yada yada. We can’t wait much longer.
Between Hofstra, Noah, and the VW in San Francisco I’ve cried rivers of laughter’s tears.
Had better luck with Bob Newhart, and, on records, Stan Freberg. I think they turned out all right. Oh, and don’t forget how funny Dick Gregory was before he became a civil rights icon (and after, for that matter).
BTW, I recently got a Calyx institute unlimited data 4G hotspot. It’s $500/ year, but if you are in Sprint’s signal area and need a hotspot, it’s great. Here are some links.
