Just a humorous counterpoint,
Thanks, kb.

Mueller’s congressional ‘hearing’ was a disaster for the Democrats. Tina and I watched the political theater live and both of us came up with cartoons.
The former FBI director and special prosecutor seemed unwilling or unable to answer questions pertaining to his own report. The befuddled 74 year-old acted even older than his age as he refused to answer questions for vague reasons. Over and over, he rebuffed questions by stating they were not in his ‘purview.’ One has to wonder what was in his purview.
Even more disturbing was his frail and disconnected performance. He could not remember his own report. It was obvious he didn’t even write it. He didn’t know what Fusion GPS was! Or maybe he was only feigning incompetence. After all, he had to have known Hillary paid Fusion GPS to drum up negative information on Trump. Russian operatives provided lies to the spy Christopher Steele, which formed the basis of his dossier. It should have been quickly discredited, but instead served as the basis for a case against Trump. Incredibly, Mueller claimed the Steele dossier was not in his purview! Perhaps Mueller was covering for Bill and Hillary, who really did collude with Russia. Everyone knows about their Uranium One deal, in which Mueller himself was involved.


Democrats such as Nadler and Schiff had high hopes that Mueller would spill some sort of anti-Trump beans. They want to restart the Russian collusion farce.
The want our president impeached.
Many of the Democrats praised Mueller effusively and honored him for his service. Indeed, Mueller does deserve honor for his service as a marine. His behavior as an FBI head and now special prosecutor has been less than honorable. Taxpayers spent close to 40 million dollars so he could drag out the witch-hunt.

Mueller stated that although he could not find evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, it doesn’t mean that Trump wasn’t guilty of something–and hinted he could be prosecuted for obstruction after his term was up. This is nonsense. There was no obstruction and it’s not Mueller’s job to pronounce innocence or guilt no more than it was Comey’s job to exonerate Hillary by claiming she had no bad intent when she egregiously broke the law. Mueller seems to have forgotten that people are innocent until proven guilty. The president is entitled to that too–he’s not a ’special case’ as Mueller suggested. Mueller does not get to rewrite the Constitution as he goes along. His actions were not honorable. Indeed, they are reprehensible!
Mueller was installed to protect the swamp and after what I saw today, that swamp can finally begin to be drained. The witch-hunt is over.
There will be no impeachment. The Democrats lost. They defeated themselves.

Of course I don't agree with much of the prior post. But the second cartoon is very good.

Mueller was a dud. The report lays out obstructions quite clearly but Trump beat us by further obstruction of Justice by thwarting the hearings (Don McGahn, etc...)

If everyone agreed, it would be a very boring conversation,
Thanks for your comments,

I appreciate hearing your alternative political views and cartoons, kb, but I just have to ask: how much of the Mueller report have you actually read? Just browsing through it randomly for an hour or so I kept seeing instances in which Trump is enraged and rarin' to take crazy actions that his more sober and grounded handlers have to coax him away from, or even just quietly ignore!

Just a humorous counterpoint,
Thanks, kb.

"Democrat City Life"

They Want to Turn the Entire Country into Baltimore

I watched the Democratic debate last night with a mixture of revulsion and boredom. There were no surprises—it was all too predictable.

Most of the president wannabes advocated the usual solution for the problems endured by citizens, That is, they would play Santa Claus and give them free stuff–including free college, free medical care, higher wages, more money tossed at education, and debt forgiveness. This would be achieved with higher taxes and more government bureaucracy, which will only make things worse.

Most of the Democrats proclaimed their love for illegal aliens, er, immigrant ‘families’ and most want to reward them with free stuff in their sanctuary cities

President Trump did complain about the decay and rats in Baltimore and was promptly labeled a ‘racist.’ In the debate Bernie Sanders also smeared Trump by using his rote lines, “a racist, sexist, xenophobe and homophobe.” None of those insults are true of course, but if a far lefty gets elected president, they will go to work to make sure our entire country resembles Baltimore—or Venezuela.

BEN AND TINA WATCHED THE DEMOCRAT DEBATES SO YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO

We at GrrrGraphics are glad the Democratic debates are over—for now. They caused us to laugh out loud, scoff in disgust, and shake our heads in disbelief.

We heard a lot of crazy talk and grandiose plans for America’s future that involved spending countless trillions of dollars. The so-called moderates in the debates were drowned out by the socialists, whose solutions invariably involve free stuff. Free college education and debt forgiveness. Free health care. Reparations. Free stuff for those poor families pouring over our open borders. The far left consider the U.S. government to be God. They think it’s there to solve all problems and human suffering—no matter where it occurs in the world. All the sufferers have to do is come here and be blessed by an all-giving government.

There were a few amusing moments. Bernie Sanders sounded like a crotchety old man who wants kids off of his socialist lawn. He substituted outright yelling for reasoned debate. Buttigieg, who sported a smashed bug on his forehead, equated paying taxes with paying for health insurance. His statement was a false equivalency. Government is very inefficient and since money can be printed up willy nilly, bureaucracies will pay higher and higher prices. After all, it’s someone else’s money. Free health care means long lines because there is always over whelming demand for free stuff. The quality of the “free stuff” always declines. Anyone in the world can fill the emergency rooms and they will. It will end up meaning very poor quality health care. ...

We heard Marianne Williamson talk about ‘dark psychic forces’ and the usual new age yadda yadda yadda. At least she stood out. Jay Inslee kept harping about climate change and even said our houses were burning down RIGHT NOW! What is the solution to this end-of-the-world problem? Why, the Green New Deal, of course. More taxes, globalist rules and regulations and no car travel. Presumably Inslee would allow exemptions for China, one of the world’s biggest polluters. Maybe he’s afraid to include China out of fear of being called a racist. The ‘R’ word is more fearful than climate change.

Then we saw lesser candidates try to take down the aging king of the Capitol Hill, Biden. There were some interesting verbal boxing matches between Biden, Booker, and Harris. Biden survived.

I didn’t include the other frontrunner, Elizabeth Warren. The hectoring schoolteacher came across shriller than feisty and more annoying than likable. Listening to her is like getting slapped on the hand by a ruler.
All of them insulted our president at every turn. Inslee called Trump a ‘white nationalist.’ Trump is white and believes in America first, which makes him a nationalist. To the loopy Democrats, it means he’s Hitler. Shame on Don Lemon for framing his questions with insults aimed at the president. He made his slurs sound like facts. Lemon is neither a moderator nor a journalist.

Lemon’s just another Democrat with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
