So, for the haters and the wonderers - my response to what’s happening with the Mueller report:
1. till we see it in its entirety it cannot be judged for itself
2. AG Barr needs to release it fully
3. if it says crimes were not committed, great.

4. regardless, the behavior of this POTUS & his family & his associates is disgusting, as is almost every policy and goal and manipulation of accepted norms he has foisted on the world.
5. Contrary to popular belief, I do not wish for this POTUS to fail.

I do wish this POTUS would make some attempt to understand that America is bigger than his “base”. America has different needs, ideas, backgrounds, resources than just his “base”. I do wish we could all agree that racists and divisionists are NOT making America great again.

I do wish the rhetoric could change and decency could return. I do wish that good people with different ideas could negotiate with the goal of compromise and elect leaders to do the same. I do wish functionality could return to governing.

I do not support this POTUS because I believe he is not addressing our climate crisis. He is attacking our institutions. He is compromising allies and supporting dictators. He lies incessantly. He comports himself like a low-life thug. And I could go on.

But despite all that, I do not wish for his failure. I wish for his better self to emerge. I wish for his transformation. If he actually attempted to govern for all of us, I think he could be highly affective. He has never desired or attempted to do so.

And lastly, if he has committed crimes, he should be tried. If he has committed impeachable offense, he should be impeached. If he has done none of that, then we should all be able to see the evidence of it and exonerate him ourselves. Just my opinion :)
