It is amazing how a talking point becomes ubiquitous among the press - "Americans Want to Move On"

Watching the coverage today, I noticed time and time again that the talking point "Americans are weary of the Mueller investigation and want to move on" uttered a dozen or so times.

Another is that "Democrats will pay a political price if they continue to investigate Trump."

I disagree with both!

I am weary of the bloviating sub-human blob of bovine excrement in the White House and his band of robber barons.

I want to move on from talking about it and to doing something about it. I want to move on to having Congressional hearings and hear what these people in the Mueller report have to say in a public hearing for all the American people to hear. I want Richard Burr to admit to running to tRump and telling him what was going on in the secret Senate intelligence committee meetings. You're damn right I want to move on. I want to move on to impeachment. I want to move on to holding these bastards accountable.
