Democratic lawmaker: Mueller testimony 'doesn't have to go beyond' report to be 'really damning' for Trump

Here “He doesn’t have to go beyond the Mueller report in any way,” she continued. “I’ve read it all and both chapter one and two are really damning — both the interference with our elections but also definitely the effort to obstruct justice by the president there's just absolutely no question about it.”

Tell NBC: Ask candidates about climate change in the presidential debates!

Here Make sure the NBC moderators ask serious questions about climate change in the Democratic presidential debates.

In 2016, NBC's presidential debate featured zero climate change questions -- leaving viewers uninformed about how the candidates would tackle the central environmental challenge of our time. We can't repeat that mistake.

Denounce Trump's invitation for foreign governments to interfere in our elections

Ugh Here The President of the United States just admitted that if a foreign country approaches him with “opposition research” on the Democratic candidate, he’d take it and use it. Trump is willing to put his own interests ahead of the nation’s and worst of all, he’s practically inviting Russia or any other country to interfere in our elections in 2020, as long as it’s on his side.

This is undemocratic, unpatriotic and wrong -- and the Republicans know it. Let them know where you stand by adding your name to my petition denouncing the president’s inexcusable invitation to foreign interference in our elections, and demanding action.”

Nadler tells Barr he's NOT going to be 'Totally Exonerated'

Here  
[...]
In a letter to Attorney General William Barr Tuesday evening, Nadler urged the Justice Department “to return to the accommodation process without conditions” and said the House was not moving prematurely to punish Barr for failing to comply with the committee’s demands.
     “The pace with which we are proceeding is consistent with the exceptional urgency of this matter: an attack on our elections that was welcomed by our President and benefited his campaign, followed by acts of obstruction by the President designed to interfere with the investigation of that attack,” Nadler wrote.

"Whooa!   That’s gotta hurt.
Play with the Bull, Bill Barr — and get stuck on the Horns of a Dilemma.

...

Sooner or later, the truth would be told, Trump is guilty of Witness Tampering and Obstruction (and so much more, like: “Russia if you’re listening ...”) — and Bill Barr lied to the American People to coverup the truth of Trump’s Guilt.
Indeed, the very last words of Robert Mueller’s “CONCLUSIONwere:
this report does not exonerate him."

Sunset, Venice 12/20/2012
I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
