On Monday a group of actors including Kevin Kline, Annette Bening, John Lithgow, Michael Shannon, Sigourney Weaver, Zachary Quinto, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Mark Hamill and others will perform a live reading of the Mueller Report. The event, called “The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts” will be streamed on the Law Works website. It begins at 8pm Central time. Since we know Donald Trump doesnt read anything longer that a bullet point laden note card, maybe this will be a way for him and some of his wacked out followers to realize that the Report doesn't say or do what he claims it does.
FYI…For-Profit Health Insurance in this country will earn more than Big Tech in 2019. Sigma, Humana, Anthem, United Health and CVS Health will make more profit than Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple and Netflix. And you wonder what's wrong with the system? Start there.
On this date in 1973 John Dean, former White House counsel implicated Richard Nixon in the Watergate cover-up. Back when there were honorable Republicans in Congress like Howard Baker and others who put country over party and realized that an impeachment inquiry was their Constitutional duty and that open, televised hearings, with witnesses testifying under oath was the only way for the truth to come out. You think a weasel like Mitch McConnell would ever be that upright and ethical? Most of the Republicans in this Congress should be sent packing into the dustbin of history for refusing to do their jobs as mandated by their sworn oath to “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States”. And if Nancy Pelosi thinks that protecting the Democratic House majority in the next election is more important than doing her constitutional duty she is dead wrong. If this President is not impeached, you might as well take some white-out to the Constitution and delete the impeachment clause.
