I want some RED MEAT today, dammit.

[Grasswire2]

Some ACTION.

A LEAK, perhaps.

A step forward in our drive to hold Trump accountable.

SOMETHING.........

Prior to the submission of the Barr summary, we could hope that a Mueller indictment would drop on a Friday.

I am more frustrated now than previously.

Nadler is willing to "work with" Barr to give him courtesy and time to comply with the subpoena.

This Nadler tactic takes juice out of our base. Takes away any imperative for us to be protesting en masse.

Is Barr feeling pressure? Or is he kicking back and relaxed knowing that Nadler is flexible?

Are you MAD?? Are you fired up, ready to go? I am.

Not red meat, exactly, but some nice hors d'oeuvres.

2. Why do democrats

always seem to bend over backwards to accommodate repukes. Very tiring.

6. I can only assume that Nadler's strategy is to keep things cool...

....so as to avoid Trump joyfully engaging in his favorite stance of victimhood as he would call more bold efforts to release the report part of a coup attempt against him.

Sort of like Nancy's refusing to talk about impeachment in order to keep Trump from blowing a gasket.

The downside is that all this time of accommodation Trump gets to set the narrative and normalize what is really an existential crisis for our democracy.

3. Mass protests have been useless since Bush's war on Afghanistan and Iraq

The media and virtually every politician just ignore them.

Writing letters, calling our rep and posting information here and in social media actually does what demonstrating in the 60s did. And even back then it took a hell of a long time to make any impact. And the marches and demonstrations didn’t get much attention until they got violent. And they got violent because most of the marches were done by young men who ddin’t want to be forced to go to war. In those days the government drafted all eligible men as young as 19, before they could even legally drink or vote. It took years of violent marches before anything changed.

In spite of the riots because the authorities reacted with violence to these demonstrations the war in Vietnam continued and was even escalated using lies and deception.
