and thought that it made no sense.

Plus, of course, every single day since last summer people have been predicting Mueller is going to be fired. Hasn't happened yet.

And I doubt there will be rioting anywhere, not even in Mueller's own offices, if he actually is fired.

We're wasting time on this. Creating confusion. A bit. Maybe a little chaos. Maybe some jealousy - why was Pittsburgh prepared but Indianapolis wasn't?

Hmmm. . . Who is intent on creating confusion, chaos, uncertainty, internal rivalries? Did I hear someone say trump? Russians? Kochs?

Will someone just cyber investigate this and determine where it's coming from, so we can put it to rest.

On top of all of this idiocy, you can be pretty sure the entire nation will be out in force in the event of Mueller's firing. But maybe they'll get violent only in Pittsburgh, lulling Chicago, New York, and Austin into a false sense of complacency.

..but I remember reading somewhere that that particular city/area of the country was the recipient of a lot of the military surplus bullshit, so maybe it's wishful thinking on their part.
