Yet, somehow, the Report itself is distinctly and uniquely Mueller, as is his testimony reinforcing that Report. How far down those rabbit holes you want to chase, Doc? Even if true, can't change the facts! You a Russian bot, or just another Republican traitor weakening America? Sorry, got to start asking all the time, thanks to Trump. Plus, can't tell the two apart anymore, they got this constant feedback loop going on betwixt the two, the Putin bots and Republican cult dupes all sound the same now! Always casting doubt on any fact or evidence against their Russian asset, Trump. They'll try to convince one that maybe the moon really is made of cheese! But we're on to their little games.

'IMMIGRATION FOR DUMMIES' -- by Activated Head of Fatherland Security, Kevin K. McAleenan
"So...What I did was I worked really hard with Trump administration to make draconian changes to immigration policies that creates bottlenecks, backlogs, and a HUGE increase in detention rates. So...We did this despite knowing that our lack of capabilities could only lead to greatly overcrowded facilities (concentration camps, if you prefer); poor conditions; human rights abuses against children, refugees, and migrants of color; lasting traumatic damage done to the children; vastly increased costs to the American taxpayer; the demoralization, desensitization, destabilization, depletion and destruction of our vital government workforce securing our borders and dealing with immigration. So...Just to be clear here, at the end of the day, the only goal was to extort money from Congress by torturing children and innocent people we hold hostage. Call it kidnapping if you want. So...Then we take the money and hand it over to our crony friends running the "detention centers" that they may profit from all this misery! So...You can see how our diabolical plan worked to perfection, we got our ransom money for CBP. So...That's why I'm working with my Republican cohorts in Congress to run the same scam again for ICE! So...Yes, we were experiencing difficulties achieving the profit margins anticipated with our wall street, but that open-ended venture continues to pay dividends for our money men and sycophants, as well!"

Let's face it; this American fall towards fascism didn't just happen overnight. Since before the '70s Republicans have engaged in dog whistles and pursued a racist agenda, hidden behind various facades. Reagan helped Goldwater using dog-whistles; Nixon was infamous for his use of them. Roger Ailes micromanaged Nixon's appearances, and stoked racial fears and resentments. Reagan employed them getting elected governor of California. Lee Atwater, who greatly admired Nixon's 'Southern strategy,' worked on Reagan's Presidential campaign, teaming up with Ailes. A year after Reagan's victory, Atwater gave what was then an anonymous interview, and perhaps lulled by the anonymity, he offered an unusually candid response to a question about Reagan, the Southern strategy, and the drive to attract the Wallace voters:
"You start out in 1954 by saying, "N------, N------, N-------." By 1968 you can't say "N-------," that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me; because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut taxes and we want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N------, N------." So anyway you look at it, race is coming on the back burner."
Humiliated and stunned by Nixon's forced resignation, Republicans anointed Reagan their hero, and have long insisted on regarding him as such, despite his repeated use of racial dog-whistles and his mediocre record. In 1980, Reagan characterized food stamp recipients as, "That strapping young buck in front of you at the checkout buying T-bone steak, while you wait in line to buy hamburger," and kicked off his campaign outside Philadelphia, Mississippi--notorious for the KKK lynching of four volunteer civil rights workers just 16 years earlier--by delivering the promise that, "I believe in state's rights!" Reagan returned in 1984 to another cheering crowd, this time endorsing the neo-Confederate slogan, "The South shall rise again!"
Lee Atwater went on to work with Roger Ailes on George H.W. Bush's Presidential campaign, which shamelessly stoked racial fear through the infamous Willie Horton political ad and other means. Roger Ailes would go on to head Fox News for Rupert Murdoch, until numerous allegations of sexual harassment and improprieties, along with related lawsuits against Fox, forced his removal. Ailes was a polarizing influence, who has been called the most destructive force in American politics in 50 years.
Conservative plutocrats and the GOP created the beast over decades with round-the-clock propaganda, but were swallowed whole by their own mutated creations of daily outrage, white grievance politics, and phony populism; first by the Tea Party, then by Trump. Unable to go back, and clearly having no way forward, they remain planted in their own muck and mire, trapped by the cult of their own making. The pundits and conservatives rejecting Trump are trying to salvage their party, but any person of principle and sense ought to know enough to defect the rotten machine.

@markkeith9055 Why you being dishonest, Doc? Two options, so you picked one, try to pretend it's the only one! Who you think you fooling besides yourself?
Moreover, are you stupidly trying to pretend Russian bots don't exist, the Russian attack against America didn't happen, and isn't ongoing, as we can see for ourselves in real time when they flood message boards, then get taken down? Why are all the Russian bots for Trump...did you ever stop to even think about that?
Last, but not least, your behavior in responding is intellectually dishonest, because you neglect to address the primary thrust of the comment. Why should people waste their time engaging with you, when you got nothing to offer but deceit? If a real person, you're still no better or different than a Russian bot. So, what's the difference? At least own it!
