It stuck as so many of their rules did. They would point out that we were whining and send us away until we could express ourselves better. It was a very good rule which in time simply eliminated any urge to whine at all. Or, for that matter, to listen to any whining.
My hope is that any thread started for the express purpose of expressing nothing but hopeless despair and defeat with no redeeming value other than to spread depression should be allowed to just sink.
Some of our most erudite and educated and knowledgeable DUers have posted some excellent positive and hopeful threads, full of political savvy and experience. My suggestion is that if you feel crushed over your somewhat unrealistic expectations that you take the time to read the posts of those who know this stuff better than the rest of us. Youll feel better and you wont drag others down with you.

(38,958 posts)seems some folks hopes far exceeded what was possible.
I for one had zero expectations and am not at all disillusioned.

(3,622 posts)Right now I think we should just wait and see what the next 24 hours holds.
Let's wait for the intelligence, judiciary and and oversight committees have to say after they've had an opportunity to meet.
Also, if the exoneration is complete there should be no problem releasing the report in its entirety...

(6,930 posts)Never seen so much nonsense. It seems to be the posters who were always posting how Mueller was going to clean house, that rump was toast, all kinds of chickens being counted WAY too soon - those are the ones moping around like Eeyore now.

(53,410 posts)Youre jumping to conclusions based on Barrs summary, or on misplaced expectations. Surely you arent believing a Trump appointed, self described pro Trump AG who is blatantly doing what his boss expects are you?
At least wait to see whats really in the report, and what else comes as an offshoot from it.
