I won't repeat what trump said about Mueller's passing. And any news story that quotes it should include this:

"As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals"., according to Ron Filipkowski.

It would be nice if the media included trump's "war record" for comparison while they are at it. It is certainly pertinent to this news story if they have any interest in journalism. He is a war time president criticizing an American hero and saying he is glad he is dead. C'mon, corporate media, I dare you to point this out in your "stories".

but back then the media was less cowed and pointed out how hypocritical and shocking it was for someone who had never served to be so disrespectful.

I was introduced to Lt. Mueller, at 3rd Mar Div headquarters the day the General presented him with his Purple Heart and Bronze Star. I was amazed at someone so tall in a Marine uniform. Upon seeing him, I asked the General if the Corps had a basket ball team. Mueller seemed to be a gentle, kind, and intelligent person.

rump isn't fit to carry his dirty wet, skivvies.

I stand corrected. I just recall him being tall. I must have been standing in a hole. Height aside, I still think he was a good soul.

12. The Republican

corporate owned/operated Media is already slowly shifting away from "News" and beginning to concentrate on "Entertainment".

They have to have realized that if this Republican CABAL continues, Trump/Republicans will soon establish a "State Owned" News Media, not unlike PRAVDA in Russia.......Fox News will get the honors of directing it.........

Along with that..............The Republicans in the Senate, and House, along with the Supreme Court Justices obviously haven't yet realized that there is NO Judicial Branch or Legislative Branch of Government.... in a Dictatorship/Tyranny........

The consideration for doing the job he was given: to find the Truth and see to it that the Laws of Our Land are enforced and the people who mock the Law are brought to Justice.
I think, in the end, way more People are going to be Glad the Traitor is Dead.
This, from The Antichrist in his own words.
Will their Lord be waiting to shake his hand?
When I see his lips move… I don’t hear Jesus speak.
Evil may be able to walk on water, but it’s still Evil.
He’s still Guilty.

Those bone spurs must've been excruciating. The Felon comes from a long line of cowards and that lineage seems to be continuing.

LEFT: 1960s Robert Mueller, a wounded and highly decorated soldier in Vietnam.

RIGHT: 1960s Donald Trump, a draft dodger at reform school, not athletic enough to make the team so picking up jock straps as “staff.”

Anyone who has integrity, worked hard, is beloved...because he latently cannot stand the goodness in other people because he has ZERO of those things.
