The redacted Mueller Report was finally released today, and although there seems to be lots of compelling evidence of some legit shenanigans going down, there’s roughly a 0% chance that anything will come of it. The GOP and its followers will refuse to believe anything critical of Trump at this point, and the Democratic leadership is too weak, lazy and inert to do anything about it. Good times, indeed.
Pretty much the only thing anybody can do at this point is talk all kinds of shit about Trump and Bill Barr and Sarah Sanders and everybody else who’s helped to derail the full release of the report and an honest accounting of what it actually says. And when it comes to talking shit, nothing’s more vital than Twitter. Here are the funniest tweets about all of today’s news, from Barr’s press conference this morning, to the release of the redacted report later in the day, to the reaction to the predictable cries of “exoneration!” and “witch hunt!” from Trump and his lackeys. Check ‘em out before you start drinking yourself into oblivion yet again.
Let’s hear Bill Barr out. Sure, he may look like belongs in a political cartoon with the word “Corruption” written on him, but, uh, hang on I was going somewhere with this
Mueller concluded Trump jr. was too ignorant to violate election laws. If ‘too stupid to be guilty’ is a thing, this whole family is bullet-proof.

So Mueller’s report was an attempt to pass the ball to Congress, but Barr intercepted the ball, ate it, declared the game over. Now, we get to pick through the vomit.
The best part is that Trump’s quote, “this is the end of my presidency; I’m fucked,” could feasibly also describe literally anything else he has ever done while in office.
