    Plus the Mueller report completely exonerated Trump. There was no evidence of conspiracy with the Russians and there was no evidence of obstruction of justice to bring to a Grand Jury hearing.

    I believe the text exchanges and the extremely close ties between investigation and the DNC prove that the investigation was politically motivated.

    That argument is about 100 times compelling than Trump's phone call was about rigging the 2020 election for which there was absolutely no evidence.

    "Releasing a long-negotiated and long-awaited Republican tax plan this week, the Trump administration made three promises.​

    First, the plan would not cut taxes for America’s richest households. 'The wealthy are not getting a tax cut under our plan,’ Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic advisor, said on Good Morning America. Second, the plan would slash taxes for America’s middle class. 'Our framework includes our explicit commitment that tax reform will protect low-income and middle-income households, not the wealthy and well-connected,' President Trump said in a speech in Indiana. 'They can call me all they want. It’s not going to help. I’m doing the right thing, and it’s not good for me. Believe me.' Third, the tax plan would not increase the deficit. 'We think this tax plan will cut down the deficits by a trillion dollars,' Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, said on Fox Business Network. 'That’s a large number.'”​

    No, it didn't. You made that up, too. From the Mueller Report on obstruction:

    "CONCLUSION

    Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President's conduct. The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."​

    Why do you continue making stuff up?

    Not everyone is as confused as you are about their own political views.

    That was written by Andrew Weismann.

    Trump was not indicted. He was exonerated. What Weismann did is a perversion of the basis of our justice system which is based on ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Weismann is a disgusting human being. Ask all the employees of Arthur Anderson Accounting who lost their careers.

    I guess he isnt capable of having your better paying job?

    Do you think people who dont have the mental skills to earn the big bucks are just lazy? That any person can do those big pay professions? And the only reason they dont make the big bucks is because they are lazy scumbags ?
    Many of the nuts on the right actually believe that BS.

    It is a quote from the Mueller report. Get a clue.

    Given the disemboweling of working Americans due to the greed of our elites any president who spends on war and cuts safety nets is literally a piece of **** .And like congress is probably a rich bastard who cant relate to the disemboweled.

    The Mueller report with regard to obstruction of justice is garbage.

    I've moderated forums. How about you?

    Why would I waste my time proving what is common knowledge--well, to everyone but these types...?

    In fact I have, but one need not be a mod to know that when you make a claim, others may call you on it. Been a mod on 2 forums.

    Speaking of debates and moderation of same:

    I'm looking forward to FatBack's acknowledgement and reply to the above links supplied by LangleyMan (in #295)

    And a reply to One Mind's posts #286 and #290.

    Funny how the Right disappear when the ugliness in their ideology is exposed.

    I'm right here. Looking forward to you pointing out the "ugliness" in my simple request.

    Your doubt that Trump's tax cuts aided the rich, which you queried with : "Even if true, so what?"
    Based on your view: "The rich are the employers and producers".
    while many cope with min wage of $7.50/hour, no health coverage, others saddled with college debt at the start of their careers:

    while 60% of Americans cannot find $1000 from savings in an emergency

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/23/most-americans-dont-have-the-savings-to-cover-a-1000-emergency.html

    "The rich are the employers and producers?"

    But judging by the outcome for society, their ideology sure ain't pretty.
