    You’re right. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that they didn’t get the response out earlier in the day. 

    The same can be said about the Trump administration.

    Total bullshit. 

    You think Mueller and Co. released this on a Friday night to bury the story?  Because every form of American media - the Internet, Twitter, reddit, MSM, etc - has been dissecting this rebuttal since the moment it hit.

    Another thing to consider, how about the timing of this statement?  If you want to bury bad news you release it after 5pm on a holiday weekend.  What did Mueller do? 

    Oh, wait. Tell me again how it’s no big deal. 

    Maybe 8 years ago.  There's no "Friday night news dump" in this day and age.  Not when it comes to Trump and Mueller at any rate.

    Got damn wine.  Bourbon, my friend. 

    Anyways, fuck congress.  I hope Mueller tells them to fuck off too.  He needs Brick out as acting AG before he releases shit.  Patience is a virtue.  Congress (and dotard) have no virtues...fuck them. 

    I'm a cheap drunk.  It's generally rum though.

    But I get your point.  Problem is, AG Iran Contra will inevitably do everything in his power to bury the report.  It's going to come down to the HoR bringing this shit to light.

    I would be fucking amazed if a single person in the entire state's office is backing Rudy on this.  Preet was very well liked and Trump burned whatever bridges he hadn't already by firing him.  I don't need anyone's $9.95 but insiders seem to 'know' Mueller is working very closely with the state's office in NY.  Mueller is likely pissed about where ever this leaked from but he sure as hell isn't hurting to make a case vs dotard. 

    Perhaps it's the wine talking, but my view on this is as follows:

    1. Parts of the BF story are true or true enough to certain aspects of Mueller's case.

    2. The complete non-denial by everyone in the Trump administration until late this afternoon / evening supports the notion that article is not "fake news".

    3. Every D in the Senate and HoR has been pushing on Twitter for Mueller to begin releasing notes specifically because of this story.  It's easy to see Mueller pushing back in the face of overwhelming Congressional pressure to reveal aspects of his case before it's ready to be released.

    Here comes the half-victory lap around the shitter. I’m sure the MAGA brigade is close in tow. 

    This victory is just as great, if not greater, than Iwo Jima.

    This is the Twitter equivalent of the awkward high five that dads try to give their 12 year old sons when they bring home their junior high woodshop projects.

    Let's be clear.  I'm fucking pissed off because I actually give a fuck about people, and am pissed off at seeing them hurt.

    Icono is pissed off because we aren't hurting people badly enough, and because he can't get in on the fun of shooting them himself.

    My family thinks I'm perfectly fine.  But I'm sure if I start sucking dick for meth they'll step in.

    Damn, counselor.

    Did Rudy Giuliani just admit that the campaign colluded with the Russians on CNN?  Because I think Rudy Giuliani just admitted that the campaign colluded with the Russians on CNN.

    Yeah, but it happened a long time ago.

    I love me some cajun food, but southern food is better. Not sure any state gets to claim it alone though.

    Also, south louisiana is as good as it gets. Good food, good people. North louisiana is worse than Bama and Mississippi. The people are the absolute worst the bible belt has to offer and none of them can cook for shit. Shreveport makes Jackson seem like a cultural hotspot. 

    North Louisiana is a strange cultural melting pot of southern Arkansas and east Texas.  And by strange cultural melting pot, I mean a plastic cup of tapioca pudding that's been left out on the sidewalk for nine days.

    You know he probably doesn't believe Puerto Rico is a part of the United States.  Oh, I have no doubt people have told him that it is, but he's a stubborn dumbfuck.

    Neither do his supporters.  I work with two Puerto Ricans.  Even before the rise of Trumpism, our boss has repeatedly asked questions about their "immigration status".

    Who are the idiots chuckling in the background?  No one should laugh at this piece of shit.  It emboldens him.

    The road back from this circus of dumbfuckery and ghoulish cunts is going to be long and painful.

    The Trump doctrine in a tweet

    This administration's use of the word "humanitarian" makes me fucking ragey. 

    They split up families, establish concentration camps, let kids die in squalid conditions, and then have the audacity to declare this PR circus a "humanitarian crisis".

    I think I'll start rooting for SkyNet at this point.

    There are times I feel like the only O&G guy that voted for Hillary.  I know a lot of Trump voters that got laid off and probably can’t afford $2.00 gas.  Fuck ‘em.

    Yep.  Certain areas will remain insane (Permian, STACK/SCOOP, etc), but I know a whole lot of field level guys here in the Anadarko Basin and west into the Panhandle that have been laid off or their employers have cashed out and left them behind.  They populate all the little hole-in-the-wall diners in this wasteland and bitch about foreigners and NFL players and talk about how they're prepping for the upcoming civil war.  It's neither politics or self-preservation to these people any more.  It's their identity now.

    It would be funny if it wasn't so damn sad.  Or vice versa.

    You know who is really enjoying this "luck"?  The legion of O&G people that voted for him because "those damn liberals are trying to kill O&G".

    They're loving this right now.

    Though, like most of the other mouthbreathers that constantly defend this piece of shit, they've given up caring about their own interests and rallied behind cultural war issues for now.

    Let’s just say working in the oil and gas industry the last few years makes one jaded to all the “hardships” government workers have had to endure for (checks notes)... yeah 10 days.

    I’ve worked in O&G for fifteen years now. It hasn’t jaded me toother workers getting fucked in their various industries. 

    It’s only hardened me to the fact that O&G is one the shittiest industries to work in.

    I sympathize with workers repeatedly getting fucked over primarily because I work in O&G.
