That article by Graff...Well, I got teary reading it. Mueller arrived in Vietnam the same year and time (after the Tet) that my husband did. My husband will be 80 next year. I just thought this piece was such a wonderful way to honor this extraordinary public servant. I loved that he invoked strict discipline in the FBI with not only attire but professionalism. Robert, Mueller was one of a kind. I hope his journey was peaceful but I surely do hope he finds time to haunt DJT.
A ballistic missile reached Diego Garcia. Iran says it's not theirs. I wouldn't put it past Israel to bomb the base to try to scare up European support. Whose denial would I more readily believe - the Israeli war criminals or the Iranian religious fanatics? Tough call... when it comes to lying, though, Trump trumps both, unfortunately.
Thank you for clarity and sanity and ethics. Thanks for defining the war crimes and crimes against humanity of bombing non-military infrastructure like water and food, which is needed for the people of the country. We will be there on the 28th! NO KINGS, NO TYRANTS, NO DICTATORS. And Congress, get off your knees and do your job!
I read this a short while ago from "Indivisible Newsletter". If it's true then there's little to no hope Republicans will ever engage in meaningful dialog. And the president continues to remain out there in his own "la-la-land".
Here’s the context: TSA is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has been shut down for six weeks because of the public backlash to Trump’s secret police. Democrats demanded basic accountability; Republicans refused. Now TSA agents have missed full paychecks, hundreds have quit, and airport lines are becoming unbearable. Dems have offered to fund TSA and everything but the lawless ICE and Border Patrol seven times but the GOP has refused. This weekend, we saw signs of fracture on the right -- multiple GOP Senators publicly floated passing a Democratic proposal, and Republican Senate Leader John Thune even reportedly pitched Trump on the plan as a way to displace the political heat on Republicans. And then Trump nixed it.
I just finished reading the piece on Robert Muller today, and I have been sad ever since. When the Mueller Report first came out, I read it three times and bought a copy for my three daughters. I danced at my nephew's wedding with a young man who had worked with Muller and said he thought he deserved the Medal of Honor. There were brief bios in the back of the report, published by the Washington Post. After reading Robert Muller's bio, he became a hero to me. It was the man's integrity, dedication, and discipline, contrasted with the lack thereof in DT that impressed me very deeply. He was a man of honor. I watched the odious Jim Jordan yell over him at the hearing that summer and was disgusted. Of all the shameless, lawless, selfish, cruel, and dastardly things Trump has done, his words following Mueller's death were the final straw. I'll be marching in Kamuela this Saturday, and I will keep doing whatever I can to defeat every cowardly Republican in this twisted, perverted regime.
The phone # you gave as a comment line in the WH may have been correct, but that operator took my zip code and transferred my call to my (Democratic) congressman..just fyi
Thank you for this bracing tribute to Robert Mueller.
In further tribute, a story from today's Democracy Now! broadcast, 'From Gaza to Iran, Rise of Conscientious Objectors Marks U.S. Soldiers’ “Shift in Consciousness,"' about the many others choosing to do the right thing in defense of our deepest values:
My father taught me that "To whom much has been given, much is expected." He believed as I do also that having been born in the United States was a wonderful gift - one that I had done nothing to deserve. And that public service was a way to give back. My father was a man of honor- just like Robert Mueller. Something trump unfortunately doesn't even have a passing acquaintance with!
The t does everything as the outside power, saying he will help a country in its push for democracy. Then he abandons them. He is only about a deal for himself. That is the theme. That theme is laced through and through all his life. He will not change.
Thanks for the links regarding Robert Mueller. Another theme to emphasize-decency.
Thank you for all the great information about Mr Mueller. Indeed we must celebrate him. BUT today from the Middle Eastern site - MEMRI - here is the true PANDORA's box of problems TRUMP has opened by attacking IRAN along with Israel - 6 requirements to stop the war among them CLOSE ALL USA MILITARY based in the Middle East! https://www.memri.org/reports/iranian-regime-offers-six-conditions-accepting-us-surrender-and-ending-war
I am so excited to attend "No Kings" at the Minnesota state capitol with my daughter and her friends! They are all first time protesters and said they were so inspired by watching us old folks protest the past year with such commitment that they wanted to join us in the fight for democracy.
Yay! The young folks MUST join us ... I'm in a college town, and I am hoping we get a HUGE number of students. protesting on Saturday. They make the difference for democracy in Michigan.
Robert, I did call the White House and --after waiting for 20 callers ahead of me (maybe we DID crash their phones!)--left a fairly blistering message about the Robert Mueller comment. Don't know if the message got beyond the human attendant, but it did make me feel a little better! Thanks!!
Another great Robert post. My take: Mueller was a legitimate hero. Fallows is so right about Fatsby's statement. It is disgusting and awful which is what he is. Of course, he thinks nothing about doing war crimes or crimes against humanity. (He already has done war crimes blowing up boats). His threat (now temporarily suspended) would be a huge escalation and require Iran to retaliate and destroy energy and water facilities. Iranian Intermediate ballistic missiles can reach Paris, et al. Very serious consequences are a possibility. The regular media fails us consistently. Thankfully we have substacks. Lying is his way of life. He has done it his whole life. But lying about war leads to terrible problems and blood and death. (See Lucian Truscott's substack from last night. "What Boots on the Ground Really Means"). I agree with Robert and the Times Editorial Board that lies lead to more lies from Generals, et al which will be paid for with the blood of our service members. Protest pics are awesome, as usual. I always wonder how anybody voted for this person even if you were a greedy businessman.

You are my standard-bearer, Robert.
