Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright.....

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.....
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout.....
But there is no joy in Trumpville—Devin Nunes has struck out.

I've loved that poem since I was a kid. I memorized the whole thing in Junior High. I didn't have to. I just felt like it.
Thanks for bringing back the memory. https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/casey-bat

"Kill Him! Kill the Umpire" yelled someone in the stands.
And they might have really done it had not Casey raised his hand

They are listening to what Repubs SAY the memo says and shows. They no doubt believe it shows the FBI has been on a witch hunt against Trump and his team.

I heard a quick quote by Hannity comparing it to Watergate.

Hopefully, the marginal voters we're trying to win back look on this and wonder why Trump and the House GOP are wasting time on this.

don't realize Nunes struck out. Then again, neither does Nunes. That numb skull is still in the batter's box and wondering why the ump keeps yelling "you're out."
