Trump gloating on Twitter over the release of the Mueller report

And quite honestly, he's got every right to do so.

I'm posting a little early, and might have egg on my face when the report is actually released, but based on Barr's press conference it sure doesn't seem like I will. Should be interesting today to see how the Democrats and the media process the public release of Mueller's findings.

You can be SURE that the Democrats will try to make hay of it. If it said that Trump was absolutely NOT GUILTY, they would still find a way, probably by impugning Mueller.

At present, however, Mueller, the guy they pinned their hopes on, cannot be safely touched since to do so would be for Trump to say, "Well, why didn't you say so when he started?"

Or, better, "The only way ANY report could be acceptable in the sight of the Democrats was if it came back with a guilty "verdict," since the Democrats have already decided as much."

Its nice to see your optimism Dave. You are as close to "neutral" on this topic as anyone I know so that is why you see the truth. Trust me, everyone to the left of you has already chosen to SEE what they want to see here and have their masters at CNN telling them what they want to hear that " Barr is a paid henchman", that "Muehler is the ultimate puppet", that "the ten instances of possible obstruction are, IN FACT, undeniable obstruction" (despite the fact that Muehler exhonerates Trump by stating that he was not impeded in doing his job. They have nothing, but that has never stopped them for 2 years. They colluded with a foreign national (Mr. Steele), paid him for his phony docier, spied on Americans, spied on a candidate for POTUS, etc.., etc.., etc.. and STILL they will push their narrative because in the end, they learned everything from Clinton and Obama, keep telling your lies long enough and they will eventually tell themselves.

I am hearing from a conservative talk show host that Trump isnâ€™t gonna be happy with the report. We shall see.

I am waiting to see the entrails of the report. I think it will be so worded that both sides can spin it to their advantage. I guess some of you have heard that there are 6000 sealed indictments that will jail Hillary and former President Obama. I am sure they are in there. I hear that on Monday mornings at Hardees from some senior citizens.

That my friends will set the Democrats back years. Shocked

Yeah, it is actually embarrassing to see the few holdouts still pushing the collusion narrative. I understand the partisans who pivoted to obstruction, even though I don't think the narrative supports that either. But the people still pushing collusion are truly something else.

RS, let me ask you this.

What evidence would you need to see to conclude that your current belief about this is false?

What would need to happen (or not happen) in order for you to change your view?

I will answer the question for me: if the Clintons or Obamas become the targets of a federal investigation, I will conclude that my view about this was potentially not correct. If they are indicted and/or convicted, I will conclude that my view was definitely not correct.

How about you?

I'll give you another example. I know you have expressed in the past that you think QAnon is ridiculous.

I have to agree. My opinion of QAnon is that it is total unhinged lunacy. I believe the people who have dedicated themselves to believing QAnon have basically become members of a cult who are doing serious and literal damage to their own minds and their ability to correctly process information. I believe it is absurd to the point of mockery that anyone would believe any of Q's obviously ridiculous lies.

With that said, while my opinion is extremely strong, it is falsifiable. If people start getting indicted and sent to Gitmo for military tribunals, I will be able to accept and acknowledge that I was incorrect. This is because my view about QAnon is, as best as I am capable, a logical assessment of the facts as I know them. If those facts change, my view will change as well.

This is NOT the case for QAnon adherents. Q said that Hillary was arrested in (IIRC) February of last year. You would think that claim would be easily falsifiable: if Hillary shows up somewhere after February, then it wasn't true. However, Q's claims are not falsifiable in the minds of QAnon believers, because QAnon is not a reasoned view, it's a religious faith. QAnon believers concluded, upon seeing Hillary out and about after this, that they were seeing a body double because Q followers cannot concede any possibility that Q was wrong.

In my opinion, the theory that you have is a just a couple of steps shy of QAnon. It is ridiculous, groundless, and obviously false. That's just my opinion though, and I could be completely wrong. There are a lot of things that could happen that could demonstrate to me that I am wrong.

What could happen to demonstrate to you that you are wrong?
